Ben Abraham is trying to play all the way through Far Cry 2 without dying. This’ll be interesting.
I love that game.
Chris Remo’s interesting take on Far Cry 2.
It’s almost as if this game wants you to quit early on. Super hostile, pretty aimless, and not a lot of “tutorial” to help you along. Its “slow burn” is one of its most attractive qualities.
Chris, Jake, and Nick from IdleThumbs had pretty in-depth discussions of FC2 on their last two podcasts: Ep. 4 - Fable of Love, Ep. 5 - The Wizard.
I’ve been playing the hell out of Far Cry 2 for the past couple weeks. Yesterday I just grabbed Fallout 3 and played for about 4 hours.
I can’t remember the last time I had 2 games that I wanted to play so much simultaneously.
And I was also thinking how unbelievably hostile both post-apocalyptic Washington, DC and fake Central Africa are, and how much I love being in both places. What does this say about my personality?
Holy God Far Cry 2 looks amazing. This game has so much going for it: incredible graphics, no longer made by Crytek, involves Clint Hocking.
HD trailer available here (much better).
