I never played FC2 but boy I HATE shooters in which you pump hostiles full of lead and they dont react. Next step is usually to turn the difficulty down to a level at which the enemies start to die properly, but lo behold all of a sudden you can take a full belt of .50 cal rounds yourself before you go down. Talk about balance.

Especially in games that don't have that much more than shooting that gets annoying quickly.

Africans are made out of Kevlar. I thought you guys knew.

Nah I say go for the best game ever

I played it 3 or 4 times then uninstalled it.

And this is why I'm happy to warez first.

Man. They need to come up with better demos. Not like they will lose anything. People will always pirate games. A good demo will lower piracy. Think about it. Most pirates who pirate to demo just end up keeping it because of the natural human instinct of "Why buy something that I already own?"

[Granite26]

So... 1: Ya'll hate it
and
2: I'm not missing any deep interactivity systems because I'm not paying enough attention or doing enough sneaking or going to regret mowing down guard posts 40 hours into it when I'm called a monster for not sneaking around them or somethng.

Sorry, but I WAS talking about the easy mode. Also, headshots are usually instant death, however they're nearly impossible to pull off when it matters, such as when enemies are raining bullets on you from goddamn miles away.

And yeah, lets not forget the Guard Posts. Guards respawn at them ridiculously fast, almost as soon as you move out of the cell, Every time you backtrack over them, there's five or six guys or so, one on a heavy machine gun, waiting to blow you or your car to hell.

I buy games I actually enjoy, have they got online content or not, but I'm aware I don't represent the majority of people who make use of warez. The best way to fix that is to come up with better online content. Shareware is also a good thing. So are things like Anarchy Online where you get to play the game for free, but you buy/subscribe to have the expansions.

[Ioric Kittencuddler]

NO!!  The best way to solve the piracy problem is to let game companies track IPs on all sites and get anyone who claims to have pirated a game arrested!

[Shzar]

I watched my bro play the game on his 360. Playing with fire looked like fun, but it seemed kinda boring after all that. He would just blow past guard posts on his jeep, stop and get on the machine gun and blow them all to hell when they inevitably followed. Then he would repair his vehicle to dealership-ready condition by tightening a single nut under the hood. Yeah.

I thought people would love the Jackal, and his evil plan to:

save innocent childern by selling weapons to allow the evil warlords to kill each other! What an evil plan! That guy must be stopped!

And the plot twist where:

you end up working for The Jackal.

Anyone? Anyone actually care about the storyline?

As I said, I hated the ending.  Right when it started to get interesting it suddenly decides to instead get totally retarded.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ok, so apparently all my buddies from Mike's Bar survived and escaped even though they all got taken down before me when I almost died trying to save their asses.  Then they decided to continue pretending they were dead and secretly meet up with my new best buddy whose life I'd saved countless times... and then they all somehow get into the final area ahead of me and decided the most rational thing to do was kill me... What?  What about... I dunno, asking me to help them escape alive?  I mean, I've done everything in my power to do that so far, even when there was nothing in it for me, and I'm the most fucking deadly out of all of them...  What possible assheaded logic would lead to the conclusion that the best and only course of action is to try to kill me? 
Michelle: "Alright, here comes Marty, the strongest out of all of us, and the one person who would never betray us.  Get ready!" 
Nasreen: "But-"
Michelle: "No buts, stick to the plan!  We all wait in hiding then you go out there and act confused, then I come out and tell you to kill him and we all walk out ominously and attack!"
Nasreen: "Why the fu-" 
Michelle:  "BECAUSE!!!"

Well...that actually felt interesting to me.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After all, you guys are mercs, and mercs don't exactly have a very good reputation. Having your best friends sell you out for money, well...I like it.

Let just say, I seen worse endings. *cough cough*Jumpstart3rdGrade*cough cough*

Pathetic, just like the game.

Yeah... except that...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

They didn't sell you out for money.  They all were just waiting there with the money to kill you when you got there.  All of them.  They just, for no apparent reason, decided to kill you, the most trustworthy of the bunch, even though they were all perfectly happy to share the spoils amongst themselves.  They could have just taken the cash and left, but instead they decided to sit and wait for you, just to kill you...

[Servant Corps]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh.

Hm. Maybe it could be that they found out you are allied with the Jackal, and wanted to get rid of you. Or something else? I don't know.

Again, I saw worse endings. But I don't think I am going to want to defend the game JACKAL'S RAMPAGE anymore.

[Granite26]

I actually hope that games go more in a 'this is a thematic and control' sequel, rather than a 'this is a literal next episode' sequel.

Kind of like I hope they keep making alien movies and never ever have ripley again.
