Far Cry®

The shooting is just incredibly boring in the game and despite it being open world it feels like you do the exact same thing all over again at the same looking locations. It looked good back then when we were all amazed by the rapid progress of the graphics but that is just what it was. A novelty. Nowadays you see the graphic is just very bland without any cham.

It was big deal when it originally came out. Now its not. Open world is not so open. Stealth mechanics are only a joke. Gunplay and graphics are still ok but you probably wont finish this game

Seems just another shooter to start. Some open exploration is nice. Getting to the top of the carrier, there's a helicopter with a minigun mounted on the side; It never misses, the guy is invulnerable and there are about ten other enemies with automatic weapons scattered around the deck. No win scenario.

Game is mechanically very impressive - good shooting mechanics, decent graphics especially considering its time, performance is decent, level design is good. Stealth is functional too, which I did not expect. However enemies are very buggy and I don't have the time to go around fixing a game that should be by default fixed. In my case I encountered invisible enemies (I think they were invisible...) who shoot me conveniently when I am at a particular point on the map. Either they are invisible, or they are always aware of my location and robotically shoot me when they see even a little bit of me, either way this is problem in a game where you don't have regenerative health, limited health kits and armor kits. I guess if you have the patience to either deal with the buggy enemies or to find a fix, there is a nice game here in far cry.

Admittedly, it's kinda in between the two I am not very skilled with video games but I still love playing them. Far Cry 2004 is everything I don't like about shooters from the era. Twitchy controls, terrible accuracy... I mapped it onto a controller to more like later games in the series but that didn't really help. I couldn't get out of the tutorial Stealth is terribly difficult in the early game and enemies can swarm and are very difficult to see through the foliage. Nothing compared to the everything is the same color and impossible to see details of FC2 but still real hard to play Without cheat codes working in the version of the game here, I can't recommend this game unless you are VERY good at shooters from the era. For me, it's utterly unplayable
