Far Cry 2, Fallout 3 or CoD WaW?

buggys have acceleration more then anything, just a little extra top speed i think but its more fun to stop and take out the enemy camps + you can pick up supplies, ammo and health. gives you something to do while traveling

No it's not fun, it got boring after the 3rd time or so... I don't want to do anything except to travel to the target, I'd love to blast through a CP @ top speed and get away, but as someone said, the ai will always catch up anyway and you have to stop to kill the ****ers :(...

Also no matter how many you kill, they will always be back, you could kill 1 billion people ingame, there'd still be enough oddly to restock the CP's with fresh soldiers who will shoot at the sight of you...
 
i think you people are missing the point, at least there are vehicles in FC2 and you dont have to walk everywhere like in FO3 they could have at least put a quadbike or something into that game

Well fo3 has a teleport system, in FC2 you always have to travel everywhere manually, whereas in fallout 3 you can get there in 2 clicks provided you've been there once before...

I'd rather travel to a place once slowly, than 20x a bit faster...
 
It doesn't matter, traveling is annoying, especially in Far Cry 2, which is my point...

I guess teleporting is the easy way out, but I don't mind... All I know is that the slow traveling in FC2 makes it way too boring... FO3 has that problem solved by only needing to explore stuff once, then you can skip the annoying bit...
 
thats why they put enemys for you to fight along the way to keep you alert!
ok there are emenys in FO3 but not enough of them and the flies are hard to hit and onnoying
 
Lol you want to have everything in a game I hate :p. Lets just say I don't like FC2 :p.
Don't really play any fps just to shoot, I play them to follow a story mostly... Fc2 is just odd to me, what am I fighting for, why am I in Africa, etc...


If it's and FPS I need a good story, like in Bioshock or HL2... FO3, has a good story too imo, so far anyways... And I like the interaction with the people, the dry answers you can give and such :p.
 
im not good at following storylines in games but from what i gather, theres 2 sides fighting some sort of civil war in africa, your primary/personnel goal is to kill 'the jackal' the guy who armed both sides, you also suffer from malerier which needs contant attention so that gives you extra missions to do + theres other sub-missions you can do as a break off from the main missions to earn extra diamonds.
so its a full game with lots to think about :)
 
Fallout 3!

I just completed Far Cry 2 but I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone unless it's in the bargain bin. It basically consists of doing the same mission (drive/kill a person) 50+ times and then has a poor ending.

Fallout 3 in terms of value for money there are days and days worth of playtime it in and it's absoloutely fantastic.

+1. In the end it's just different points of view. The best game that I've ever played (my opinion, obviously) is Bioshock. Stunning storyline, with good, if not great, gameplay. Same goes for things like BG&E, Dreamfall and even Portal to an extent-ok, the story isn't great but it's certainly funny enough to maintain my interest!

A few years ago I started to feel pretty jaded with the whole gaming thing-I couldn't see the "point" to running around shooting everything that appears. I need a good storyline in the game, and FC2 doesn't have that. It may have a storyline, but it isn't one that I feel compelled to follow; it doesn't suck you in in the way that Bioshock's does. Granted, I haven't had the chance yet to play FO3, but it looks hugely immersive. In my opinion, this is what is important in a game, not whether or not you get to kill somebody every 30 seconds. Another of my "best games ever" goes to Shadow of the Colossus, in which you were lucky if you could kill something every 30 minutes!

As far as I'm concerned, FC2 has tried to do what the 1st STALKER did, but failed as it is wholly less immersive.

Hard to hit?

Use the V.A.T.S Targetting system, get close enough there's like a clear 95% hit chance.

I MUCH preferred FO3, completed it recently and i felt it could have been much much longer.

FC2 is ok, haven't spent as much time playing, done a few missions but the driving about is rubbish (though the map is a very nice touch) and those checkpoints ruin it for me, every intersection you're being shot at.
 
If you like console-oriented, mindless, repetitive combat against poor AI and with generic weapons (but the best implementation of fire yet) then choose FC2. In this case, PM and you can have my copy for a tenner.

If you like a slightly more cerebral game, with plenty of action and an pronounced variety in gameplay styles, choose FO3. No MP though.

If you liked CoD3 (crap, designed by Treyarch; not 2 or 4, which were designed by Infinity Ward), you just can't get enough WWII, and particularly like to demonise the Japanese in a way no game has done before, then choose Co4:WaW.
 
After COD4 i would say COD WaW but i hate old era FPS games with a passion.

Normally hate RPGs but under recommendation i thought I'd try Fallout 3 and haven't looked back - awesome game and loving every minute. Made me sad though when my dad died though :(
