FARCRY 2 --- Officially , official of official threads! ---

The more i look at this game the more my spidey senses tell me it will be rubbish. Some people are expecting it to be to the same standard as farcry 1 when not a single developer from the original project is involved in this title, there's word of rife respawning which is enough to ruin a game alone and it's an open world FPS created with consoles in mind which will probably create some major limitations in the openworldness. Not trying to annoy anyone here, just wondered if anyone else thinks it'll be below everyones expectations too?

Have you read the review of it (linked on the previous page)?
 
I wasn't interested in this one bit till now. I don't expect a game of the year but I think it will be good. I think like GTA it will be fun to just drive around doing random things rather then the story. Plus no one seems to moan about respawning in things like GTA.
 
(May have been posted already but...)

Saw PCGamer UK forum that they gave it 94% - that's definatley a reliable source to judge if a games worth buying or not :)
 
Why are so many people up in arms about respawns? Do people want to walk around bing the only bloke in the land?

As long as they dont respawn right infront of you, whats the problem?

Not in detail no i'll admit. However after the farce that was GTAIV (perfect 10s from nearly everyone when the general consensus is that it's actually a slightly above average game) i no longer trust review scores. Spore also received rave reviews from 'professional' reviewers but met a very mixed reception from the public (also feel i should add that spore seems to have disappeared into obscurity already).

Reviews just don't seem to be that reliable these days in my eyes. After looking at that wildebeest video my opinion that this game will miss many peoples expectations has increased.

I couldn't agree more, however some people have reported things like constant respawning from inside the same hut etc which sounds frustrating. Respawning enemies can be done very well (COD4) or very badly (can't think of an example :p). This is however, speculation based on random rumors on the web, the respawning could well be perfectly fine.
 
I'm not too bothered about the respawns. It's just the multiplayer that concerns me. I loved running around the original Far Cry not knowing where anyone was gonna be. Far Cry 2 puts the names above every player in the game so you know exactly where everyone is. Sounds a bit rubbish
