I've been playing it for a few days now and I'm trying really hard to like it but it's repetition is starting to annoy me. I spend more time driving to an objective than anything. I go pass the same locations over and over. This is Africa it takes place in right? So where are the Elephants, Lions, Hyenas and Giraffe? The outdoor environment looks cool but still not as good as the orignal FarCry in terms of Graphics or gameplay in my opinion. The game felt rushed to me. Like the should have developed it another year or so before releasing it.
Yes it is boring, Feeling a little mad that money was spent on it, makes me understand why people prate games to check how they are before shelling up hard cash!
I was trying to play through it to see how it ends but I've given up and uninstalled it. I finally bought STALKER- Shadow of Chernobyl and Clear Sky. I heard they were pretty good FPS-ers. I'm kinda looking forward to playing Borderland.
I am the same way.
I dont see the plot or at least a reason to continue.
It would be interesting to find out the ending.
Someone had to think the game was worth making.
Its like driving fron New York to California with no radio.
You have to ask yourself
Why did I want to go to California?
LMAO, I agree with you all however I did manage to play thru the game until the end...and havent cut the game on since that day. The graphics are STUNNING at times but the gameplay does get repetitive with all the driving half way across the map each mission. I feel real sorry for the people who bought it on consoles and can only save at safe houses rather then anytime. To me that would have made the game unplayable.
But anyways, trust me, the ending was BULLSHIT. It's not hard to figure out what happens in the end but basically it makes the whole game pointless.

I have actually finished Far Cry 2 but i found the entire games boring as Sh**.
I have never played a game that has a story line that jumps around so much.
And no he doesn't ever die of malaria the end of the game ends with one of those decisions similar to Fallout 3 where u need to chose to either do something heroic that's going to save the day but Ur going to die horribly or you can be a wimp and let someone else do something heroic while u get to live happily ever after.
Actually what really annoyed me about Far Cry 2 is the fact that everyone in the entire world wanted to kill me even though i was doing nothing wrong and just driving around in my little car but i have found this issue with a number of recent Crytec games they are spending allot of time making sure the world looks really pritty and they seem to forget that most people out there don't have a GTX 295 and cant play the game on full graphics anyway.
Take a look at this its good if u want a laugh about how bad Far Cry 2 is.

Agreed this game was pretty repetitive. i only completed like 75% of it before i completely gave up, and now that i reformated i cant even get my files back lol! so screw it!!!

its boring? i might consider not getting it anymore then.
it looked like a really cool game, my bro played it on ps3 and he liked it, although i think its kinda funny how the guy in the game fixes EVERYTHING with just a simple socket wrench. lol.
And the buddy system. If you really get hurt bad your buddy shows up to pull you out of the frying pan. Where was he during all the driving about? Why couldn't he share in some of the driving? The least he could do was man the turrent.
My Marine Corps drill instructor once told me," A buddy is someone that will go out in town and get 2 blow jobs and bring you one back".
far cry 2 was alright, but for the amount of money these companies are spending on making these games, you would think they could do better storywise and multiplayerwise since those are the 2 top reasons people will play games.
