What Made Far Cry 2 One Hell of A Game? 

The A.I. in Far Cry 2 are aggressive as hell like if you're driving, they will shoot up your car before you hit the gas but I dig it a lot.

this game is so immersive thats its almost depressing to play..dats how good it is..like ur actually living and breathing in this wartorn hellhole

This game is legendary. A time when triple A devs took chances. Upvoted for remembering this masterpiece.

My FAVORITE far cry. I want a remaster so bad with just a few tweaks(malaria, checkpoints, weapon jamming) but keeping the core game almost entirely the same. Also Far Cry 3 had that endgame problem with an empty world until they added the "respawn" outposts option, there's no NG+. Same with Far Cry 4.

liked the jamming system, least in one way, since it gave a reason to use enemy weapons.

Best of all in my taste. And best of all if you look at the physics engine. Better done in FC2 than in the rest of the series: - Fire en grenades are more satisfying. - No stupid mission zones. - No talking (I hated myself in FC3, annoying American student). - No wall hacks or tagging. - Rockets do fall back if you shoot them straight up. - You can interact a lot with bushes and trees. - You can shoot through thin walls. - Buddy system. - Weapons degrade. - Enemies follow you over long distances. - The weather. - Night day cycle. - Peaceful wildlife (How many Eagle attacks did you get in FC4?) I had no problem with the malaria, checkpoints, weapon degrading, lack of colors or any thing else. (You can sneak behind most checkpoints if needed.) The color grading makes the game look more realistic, like a filter hiding some bad textures. I still haven't found a game more immersive that FC2. Tip: playing like X-box; only save when you're in a savehouse.

I remember I played this all day on thanksgiving when it first came out stalking through the jungles and stealthing every encounter, setting up sniper spots and just really enjoying the freedom of approach in this game.

Needs a remake

the constantly and quickly respawning check points are in my view central to this game. there is no function to the killing, few games so successfully make killing feel so absolutely pointless. the kill quests are to kill targets who are only described to u as evil by the evil men who want them dead, but their teachers and police chiefs. clearing a checkpoints is meaningless, its only ever a way to get through so u can go kill or destroy what ever their in the way of. there are two factions, but there's no way to tell them apart except an occasional poster. u and everyone else is just another gun, unromanticised and quickly replaced. the world feels more hostile than any other fps I have played exactly because of this. in every other game no matter the hostility of the world, this is the only non rouge-like game apart from the souls games that I can truly describe as truly brutal.

Still my favourite farcry to this day!!!

This game look still good after 14y

Farcry2 and Primal are my favorite Followed by 3.

Was a great game, I was surprised... in many ways better then the original Crytek title, which fell apart towards the end. So many years ago... all I can remember is the awesome fire mechanics and driving around with the map open looking for diamonds! And of course, getting a kick out of shooting people screaming at me in my mother tongue! Repeated many years later in Metal Gear Solid Phantom Pain 😛 Great video!

For a long time I want Far Cry to come back to Africa. Imagine with today's technology the lush graphics. Deep atmosphere and all the animals. Africa also has beautiful tropical places.

The multiplayer on this and far cry 3 was the best!

There's a certain rhythm to the game-play of this game. If you work it out, the game becomes an incredibly good time.

my favorite far cry

Multiplayer and map creator were great we will see nothing like it

Love this game still think it was one of the better farcrys however this whole game is a good comparison to fuck around and find out

Such a good game.

Far cry 6 was alright. New fans got a first impression on this series

They dont make games like they used to it was more about the artform than milking money out of everyone. A bit like the modern music industry 😂.

I hope that obisoft redoes Far Cry 2, with the modern graphics and mechanics. Also a great part about far cry games is the wildlife, and imagine all of the new wildlife with new mechanics that would bring, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, ostrich, zebras, buffalo, gorillas. And of course a lot of animals would reuse animations from former game animals Elephants would be reskinned from Far Cry 4 to be African elephants Rhinos same thing as the elephants Leopards have been in previous games Lion would reuse the tiger animations Buffalo recycles bull/bison/yak African wild dogs were in Fc primal Deer, antelope, monkeys and boars have been in previous games aswell

Far Cry 2 is my favorite of the Series. One of the few games I have played more than twice.

Aaaaannnd the baddies also speak Afrikaans 😂 I remember I could not believe it, it was so odd hearing their banter and know only a very small slice of the world would understand it. Loved Farcry 2, was an amazing experience.

The only 2 gripes I had with this game were the checkpoints where you could clear one out and 30 seconds later it would be full again and enemies would constantly chase you down and try to destroy your vehicle while you are trying to explore the world. Secondly they overdid it with the malaria outbreaks. Aside from that, this game truely made you feel like you were in over your head and barely surviving in a hostile environment, being a pawn for both sides of a conflict that has no importance to you

It would be great if they brought the series back to the Africa setting (FC7?) and used these game mechanics.

A.I in Far cry 2 is way better than Cyberpunk 2077 and Starfield together 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣

It (Farcry 2) might be a good candidate for a remake and enhancement (if Ubisoft would ever consider such a thing) - just as Dead Space 1 is currently being remade and enhanced - and likely to be commercially successful, e.g. I plan to buy the Dead Space 1 remake (along with the DNA successor: The Callisto Protocol)

It's my favorite Far Cry game. The weapon selection was awesome and I liked finding the random stuff in the wild and I enjoyed the diamond and upgrade system. The buddy system was decent also.

I don't think this game will ever get old , the landscapes coupled with a perfect timecycle I mean come on 50 percent of the game for me was just appreciating the beauty of traveling especially sunrise sunset and midnight missions

It's a game I would love to play if it got a remake

I would pay £100 for a remastered with deadly animals put in! (Was only thing missing) lions and other African animals

I'm glad you made this video. For those of us that played it when it first came out, there was little like it. I'd say it, and the original Deus Ex, were what helped eventually define what open world games are today.

Finally, somebody who gets this game

One of the few games I finished. Such a beautiful looking realistic game. My favourite FC. I regularly cleaned and swapped my weapons to prevent jamming

Best Far Cry game ever after 3.I hope for a remade with better Graphics.But the 3 with its amazing villain Vaas is amazing!

Everything made this a great game.

I don't need a video why Far Cry 2 was fantastic. I'm glad this video exists. It was ahead of it's time

this guy sounds like a text to speech thing

When I heard Isizulu and Isixhosa and Afrikaans right I honestly couldn't believe my ears. It was a beautiful shock.

I was obsessed with this game for a solid year, it felt like a whole new concept being able to set fields on fire and trapping enemies with bomb traps. It was amazing for its time.

Would be great to have new far cry set in Africa. And if its great like far cry 2 or 3, no 6. All far cry games were decent except 6. 6 did have a beautiful map tho, story was 👎

Wish they’d continue in the vein of FC2

I loved the adaptive A.I. If you used one tactic, like sniping NPC's they would start to hide. Head on assaults would work for a couple of times, then that would adapt to throwing all NPC's at you at once. Any new tactic used would have to be constantly altered to be successful.

The Morrowind of FPS games, I say that as a positive. Harsh environment, deadly enemies, disease, limited fast travel options, chance to hit replace with guns jamming, etc.

Far cry before you had to climb those damn towers. Good times.

Needs a remake or remaster

Bro the custom maps on this game back in the day on 360 WERE GODLY

I still enjoy modern Far Cry games but given that they are now the poster child of open world cliche’s, handholding, and map markers, the irony is not lost on me with Far Cry 2’s existence.

It literally set the standard for Far Cry and not a single game could keep up

Let's not forget how awesome custom multiplayer maps were 😅

We need a remake or remaster

I loved this game. Played it through many times

My favorite far cry

it was good but had alot of issues

Just got it on my ps3 about to play for the first time

This is a game that was considered to be fairly mediocre when it came out but has managed to become overrated in later years! The game has a lot of good ideas, but it is IMO extremely flawed.

Not a single comment about the absolute terrible voice acting, or should i say reading... Great game following the original (wich blew my mind, visually and engine wise) after 3 it went slightly downhill with every game, but man.... Those dialogues just sound terrible to me and that really impacted the enjoyment in a bad way.

man whatever happened to ubisoft now they just release same game every year full of chests only.

This Far Cry game deserves a remake. I will never forget the character animations, the fire (still the best in the series IMO), the smart and very agressive A.I. and of course the elusive "The Jackal" (The chatacter that set the standard for the charismatic and likeable villain don't know why people think it started with Vaas 🤷‍♂️).

one of the biggest sources of immersion is the lack of fast travels. The game forces you to traverse every inch of the land. This is one of my favorite things about the game, as it feels like a very real adventure. My only issue about this game is that the graphics are so dull, that it kinda gets hard to see, even in broad daylight. I would absolutely LOVE if ubisoft pulled a Dead Space remake, and do a complete graphical rework, but keep the same aspects that made this game.

I used to play games before I sold my pc . Bought this game did first mission and I did not liked it . Deleted it and never played it . I have played 1 ,3 and 4 . But Now I have a laptop and I did not knew it is a great game . Going to buy it again and enjoy

This game is the top reason I held onto my PS3. I love FC2

Why do you use text to speech to narrate your videos? It-is-horrible-and-diminishes-the-quality-of-your-videos. Get real GamingBolt.

Are you alone ? You won't last 30 seconds playing this game! only legends can understand

One of the most immersive gaming experiences I’ve had still to this day. Always turned the music off as well for total immersion.

This is the bast game thet i play. I wish ubi make moor game like this

The only issue i had is that some of the weapons have reversed ergonomics other than that it even had details such as the machineguns belt is actually depleting....just amazing

I remember to love gun jamming mechanics, fire effects, malaria. This game is pure gold.

Just got this on steam for $10 i remember playing this after playing through far cry 3

Far Cry 2 was something different especially from Far Cry 1

My favorite open world game

The game world was truly unforgiving that definitely make the game unique

My favorite Farcry game! Still play it today with mods.

that's why they put quicksave on the game, so we can reload

You guys.... need a.... new.... narrator.... because this one.... is doing.... my head in....

I was expected game like far cry 1 but 😢😢😢

I. Fucking. LOVE. THIS. GAME.

The bright orange of the Gaming Bolt screen made my eyes bleed after watching drab brown gameplay of Far Cry 2

My favorite Far Cry game.

Good night sweet prince

when i think of FC2, i think of respawning outposts which makes me hates FC2. why didn't they make it random?

this or far c 4 is better?

I just bought this game on my series s. I have not played it that much, just a little bit after the start. As much as there is no outposts, radio towers to take over or fast travel, I think this game is great and I love the story a little bit and because it does not tag enemies, it makes the game more of a challenge.

This game need to be remastered, excellent game

Could be a great game with more development

My only problem with far cry 2 is that the color scheme is brown, its like the Browniest game evah🤣 the sepia filter is way too much

I'm thinking of playing it again this week on my Playstation 3 super slim. which I still have next to my Playstation 4 which I got from my nephew.

Super boring and annoying game.

Game was annoying af

this game needs a remake, wild animals, more types of enemies and weapons would be all that it needs.

Nope not my cuppa tea. The Malaria and weapons breaking or malfunctioning mechanics drove me up the bloody wall.

i played Far Cry 2 and I honestly didn't like it. although beautiful setting, it's more the fact that I started with 3 and worked back I might give it a try again but I would prefer being able to set the button set up first though...

Far Cry 2 A.K.A. Far Drive was bland, boring, and repetitive.

*Absolutely nothin.*

First

What no. Far cry primal is way better

I've beaten every Far Cry title except this one. Absolutely hated 2.
