Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Far Cry 2 was way ahead of its time (Polygon) Instead the influence of Far Cry 2 can be felt all through gaming. From survival games to battle royale and even some of the most popular action games and RPGs of the last several years, everything seems to take a little piece of Far Cry 2. But, since it came out in 2008, not 2018, Far Cry 2 is doomed forever to be disastrously ahead of its time. Forgotten in name, but certainly not in legacy. Far Cry 2's daring open world design is still paying off 10 years later (PC Gamer) Even where there isn’t direct influence from sitting down and playing Far Cry 2, there are few designers who haven’t at least heard whispered tales of what it accomplished and what it showed was possible. It may have spawned several official sequels over the past decade, but the true legacy of Far Cry 2 is the freedom it quietly inspired.

XxEvil AshxX Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I would totally buy a remaster on console if they re-vamped the color pallette. I enjoyed it but man that game is fugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 It was advanced in many ways, but it was also broken in several others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cusideabelincoln Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 The second map is one of my favorite designs in any game. And I liked playing with the fire mechanics. The mortar was fun too, but not an effective weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firewithin Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 should have titled this "10th anniversary of the worst Far Cry game" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALIEN-gunner Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 If anything this game helped influence was for developers to make more bug-riddled messes. I had hoped I had forgotten this game existed. Thanks for reminding me of more of gamings low points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckFly Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I like Polygon, I really do. However, is it just me or is anyone tired of the grand proclamation articles they write, whether they caveat them with the "opinion" label or not?
