I have almost no motivation to beat this game. Its so utterly repetitive....

i find it totally enthralling... best part becuase the dudees are speaking afrikaans (white guys) and xhosa / zulu (blacks guys)...
im originally from south africa so for me its great hehehe

Like oli said its just drive shoot drive shoot drive shoot drive shoot. I am 25% done, or so my save game says, and thats all that I have done so far. Kinda glad I saved my money for Fallout.. Hope thats good at least.

I love it, I just try to do things different every time this far and had it be great fun. Feels less tedious to me than Stalker, but maybe that's because at least for me it's so much less buggy out of the chute and doesn't start out boring. Both are great games, but at least for me, I won't go back to Stalker SoC, I might try Clear Skies when it hits the bargain bin, wasn't that impressed by the E3 demo...but I'd pay 20 bucks for it to have another open game to play. I will agree that it does seem somewhat repetetive, probably mostly due to all the checkpoints repopulating and the vehicles traveling the roads, but to me that's no different than the dogs, monsters and such in stalker, just looks more polished and plays better (imo). Definately some great games out there, this one hopefully will lead to Far Cry 3 with a freaking continent, planes, cities, etc, I could see a really massive game spawn from what they've done thus far...still can't get over all they packed into a meager 3.16GB of install...noone can touch them there, it competes with todays games and uses game install sizes from 4+ years ago! Though I have plenty of space if it were say 12GB+!

I was messing with the map editor, man that thing's gotta healthy amount of stuff you can do, I just love the fact you can run around in it while you're designing it. No hitches or errors thus far in that either, good stuff!

Your the RPG type then, no? I kind of relate with you. Believe it or not whats making me play the game is its stunning environment/graphics. If it didn't have that I'd say this wouldn't be a seller.

Some games have game play and graphics others just one or the other.

If I could figure out how to make single player maps for the game I will make a really cool mod with a bad ass story but I can only make mp maps..

That I'm sure will come in time, they'd be stupid not to release a patch or update to the editor for that reason imo. Make your own missions, areas, stories, etc. That could be something really promising for sure!

No I am more of an online FPS guy. I like fps games with rpg elements too(like stalker and oblivion mostly).

So then, Fallout 3 calling your name yet? I've had a pre-order for a few weeks now. Next tuesday will be a good day! But I'm gonna let the G/F dig into that one while I chip away at FC2 and while my clan and I are getting the MP side of it going.

 

[ShadowFold]

Why is this the only thing that shows up when I open the editor now?

How do I get the top bar thing back..

 

[Kursah]

How did you manage that one?

I know if you had at least the top action bar you could get the rest of the options back...

F1-F12 all have functions, see if those help bring it back...

 

[ShadowFold]

those make the options show on the side but the top is still gone

 

[Mussels]

Update to what month? The latest is August ya? Surely everyone already has that.

you'd be surprised. lots of people go by the attitude "I have directX 9.0C already" (ignoring the month) or "i have directX10, so i dont need to update 9"

faulty logic gets in their way.... i see it a lot.

 

[newconroer]

Amen to that!


I do want to keep playing this...though something about the fact that my X2 delivers nowhere near what some of these reviews have been showing is a bit of a distraction.

I noticed I've been getting more and more crashes now, even in DX9 mode. It feels like it's a RAM related thing, but..don't know.


I really should be trying to finish Clear Sky; I enjoy it twice as much as the original, but everytime I start to get into it, I then quickly feel disconnected. It's like I'm torn between exploring and doing side tasks; with getting on with the game itself.


Argh.

 

[TUngsten]

Yeah, the running about in Clear Sky is more tedious, and constantly lugging a ton of gear sucks...facst travel costs too much...it just makes the game less fun.

 

[oli_ramsay]

FC2 is a fun game, but I'm getting a wee bit bored of driving from A to B and killing some random guys in btween EVERy time. The graphics are awesome, but that wears thin after a while, setting stuff alight is aso pretty fun for a while, but again, I do find the gameplay repatative and boring...

...Maybe I'm alone here, but I REALLY wanna play Bioshock 2. Can't remember a game I've enjoyed so much (since portal/hl2). Dont wanna w8 a whole year 4 it!!!! any1 here got a flux capacitor so I can go into da futuuuuuuur n play it? There was something about Bioshcok that I found genuinely addcitive, and made me wanna finish it.

 

[jimmyme]

not being able to shoot vehicle tyres (therefore rendering them useless for a pursuit, and thus having the perfect getaway) makes baby jesus cry :-(

 

[ShadowFold]

Yea I was disappointed when I couldn't pop tires..

Multiplayer Review:

OMFG NEED PATCH PLX!! you cant switch teams and you cant join a server in progress? are they TRYING to make it fail? how can u be so stupid!!1!1 They copied the MP format from the PS3 and put it on all versions. Then they make it unintuitive, and slow, and ya.

I was really looking forward to having a MP game w/ vehicles and a bush war in Africa. instead its all close quarters w/ a bunch of rocks and some structures that cant blow up, set on fire, etc. rather disappointing. I was hoping for like atleast 65-70 % destructability, and we get maybe 10-20%, in both SP and MP. Atleast if they release a good SDK, the modders can have a field day w. it. that engine/game has so much potential left untapped.

the only thing i didnt liek about SP was the fuckin checkpoints refilled so soon, and the fact that their vehicles seemd to be able to go faster than mine!! wtf!

its a 8.5-9/10 SP game, with a 5/10 multiplayer game tacked onto it. I sure hope COD WaW has the ability to not be full of epic MP phail.

seems french ppl dotn know how to do anythin right

ps: i lov all u frenchies dont hate on me

 

[ShadowFold]

Where are the save games located I need to reinstall.

 

[Mussels]

cod5 has full coop... so it CANT fail as hard.

save games would be in my docs i believe.

edit: just found a glider above a waterfall at the top of dogon village. made for a great escape route, to fly out over the river with them being unable to follow
