Its coming....

OMG... watch this... looks so damn fun



Dude gets shot, and then another comes over to carry him to safety only to be shot again.

Then, plant an explosive onto a vehicle, cause some ruckus, drive away, then while being chased.... KABOOM !!

I can't believe it. Isn't anyone excited about this game? Pre-ordered at GH a month ago!

Its among my Top 5 MOST awaited games ever (GTA IV, Alan Wake, etc.)...

Not related, but I 'heard' that PC Gamer UK (PC version, but rest assured similar to Xbox 360) gave the game 94%

Wow.

Yes there is multiplayer. I just don't understand why Xbox gamers aren't excited. Its like the video game highlight of 2008...

Because it doesn't look that special ? I prefer Crytek who did Far Cry 1 , especially the island setting .

Wow... that's a first. Far Cry 2 will be 'better' than Crysis and WAY BETTER than Far Cry. In fact, I hated the alien shooting part of Far Cry. Far Cry 2 is set in a 'real-world locale' Africa... it is going to be incredible.

And I'm not a big fan of Crytek + Crysis, if you know what I mean.

biggrin.gif Xbox 360 gamers don't have to worry one bit. The game developers have assured console gamers the performance/graphics are comparably the same to the PC. And that's why I love them and not Crytek.

Pop disc. Play.

Whatever... the Xbox 360 console is the platform for gaming.


add: Alan Wake will have same PC vs 360 rants, but I tell you, they will be comparably the same. nod.gif

Its funny isn't it. I waited for such a long time for this game, it arrives, and I can't get it - - too busy to get to GH. End of the week perhaps. cry.gif

"...I am going to kick The Jackal's a** hard..."

Every single review gives this game an insanely high score...

So I guess the wait is worthwhile. Those playing already... come on, write a short review of the experience thus far...

This is the Xbox 360 thread. There is a PC thread for this game. Why the heck would you post that sort of stuff.

Please stop already.

QUOTE(DoomHammer @ Oct 23 2008, 04:20 PM)
Played both PC and Xbox 360 version.
Graphic wise: PC is better looking with smoother frame rate [if ur PC met the recommended requirement]. Xbox 360 version suffers 'chugging' frame rate in some areas, lower drawing distance, more blur in some areas, longer loading times in dense area, and pop-in textures. Xbox 360 version is comparable to 'medium to high' setting in PC version.
Gameplay: PC is easier because using keyboard+mouse and u can save anywhere in the game.

Conclusion: Both versions play great in both platform. Great looking game! Long gameplay hours. MEMANG BERBALOI!

Dude. This is the Xbox thread.


BTW, today is THE DAY I travel to Africa. "...and so I shall slay The Jackal..."

I got the game yesterday, yet only today I'm free 2 play !! thumbup.gif

Extra Scoop :

The PS3 version lacks 1080p support ! It seems Xbox 360 upscales the game to 1080p a heckuva lot better than the PS3 version ! Also, there are issues with the PS3 version especially the insane 3.5Gb installation size!!!

Ha ha ha ! Xbox 360 rulz!

You ask people don't talk about pc version...then you start talking about ps3 version?

Huh? OK, I do allow talking about PS3 but not PC since the former is a console. Why must you get so fired up...

Geesh. Some people.

Edit: Well, there ya go... this is how it all crumbles. One little rule and it gets over-ruled.

That's just plain dumb. When in the world did I ever bash the PS3. I just told you the news and that's it. Apparently, the 360 rulz over PS3 in that particular case. 'Bashing' - a different thing.

Actually, you are being silly defaultname365, u stress on enforcing that this is an Xbox thread yet you talk about the PS3 version, doesn't matter if its pc or console, its still a different platform. You enforced it yet you broke your rule.

You're a hypocrite, and thats how the cookie crumbles smile.gif So, instead of Geesh-ing people, study your posts first.

Those guys were talking about screen resolutions, processor type and graphics card.... in an Xbox forum ?? If you mention and say something about PS3 in this thread, at least something, as long as it is relevant to the topic. nod.gif

Talking resolutions and graphics card is irrelevant in this thread. I say "This is an Xbox thread. etc. etc.". Right. OK, so its MY fault I gave a little bit of news about PS3 version - - I didn't go on and on talking about this version.

Whatever dude. The world ain't the same no more. Its full of u noe what type of people.

That's why you should buy a gun. I recommend the Silenced MP5 or the G3KA4. They both share the same ammo, the one that enemies drop frequently so ammo won't be a problem, guns that you buy are in perfect condition and take a very long time before they start jamming up. To unlock the Silenced MP5 you must do a few missions for the armourer. The easiest way to do the first mission is to ram the convoy with a technical and empty your mounted machine gun on it, and for the next missions you should just wait on the road for the convoy to come on your mounted machine gun and open fire once they come by.

Are you playing on Normal difficulty?
*
Yes, normal difficulty. Sometimes I almost want to scream as I die again and again... aish... to release stress, I do free roaming... then back again

I just want to teach those knuckle heads a lesson!

I admit, Far Cry 2 is a challenge...

Challenging? you serious?

The AI is one of the dumbest in any game i've played before. If you got problem with the assault vehicle coming after you, just wait until it gets closed and move aside then throw a grenade, job done.

err... dude... i'm talking when there's more than one bad guy... its like dudes on the ground + dudes arriving in the vehicle with machine gun mounted... u lose health like crazy... take cover... sometimes backfire as they would find u...

there were some instances the the AI reloads his weapon right in front of me... and also when i go around the building, they're standing back towards me... i take my knive and bam... biggrin.gif
