I just played a little bit of Far Cry 2.
Let me just get this out of the way: Fist my carp the game is
gorgeous. I'm amazed that the developers were able to pack in so much graphical detail yet were also able to keep the framerate locked solid without a hint of screen tearing. The enemy animations are canned and unrealistic, but otherwise the game looks phenomenal.
On the downside, however, the shooting in the game feels
very clunky and I have to say that I don't really like the controls. The right stick, which controls your aim, has this weird sort of rubber band thing going on where the longer you hold the stick in a certain direction the faster you turn. At first it turns pretty slowly and then suddenly you're whipping around and I'm just like wtf. I don't like that and I have a really hard time telling when or if I actually shoot someone in the game. There's not enough visual cues or responses in the enemies.
The voice acting is pretty awful so far and the story is pretty much take it or leave it.
Oh well, I only played for like twenty minutes. I want to give it a little more time, hopefully it gets better.
