@Turtlemayor333: I can totally see where you are coming from though. I didn't play it hard because I heard about this very problem when it was reviewed. With all the rusty weaponry, I knew it would be a tough game to begin with. The difficulty can change the dynamic in such as way as to make it not as fun, I get that.
Far Cry 2 is a popular game to rag on it seems. I don't see how when it averages an 85 on MetaCritic, a very good score.
If you are a dumbass and don't care about unlocking the weapons and going out and finding the diamonds, you will not have fun. However it was so fun for me building my arsenal, making choices about which weapons I would buy, what my loadout would be and what playstyle I wanted to use. This is the kind of game fans of the STALKER series would also like. I loved driving around and it became much better once you figured out buses existed. The little adventures outside the story were brilliant, like finding the handgliders to get to hard-to-reach diamonds.
The story of the game pits two equally evil African political military groups against one-another. So when the game decided to have the characters never tell either members of each organization, I was happy. The reason is I got to shoot at each of those scumbags. It got tedious after a while yes, but it was fun just driving through a group of dudes, driving to separate the ones in the car from the rest, getting out, smoking them and taking their car because mine was on fire.
It does fall victim to the same open-world problems but I never had a problem with that on the PC because I put on some music in the meantime while I was driving across the African plains at night. The story does suck and I bet the dynamic part of didn't work too well but it was great for what it was.
" Well I barely have any hair on my chest, but have exceedingly hairy legs, so what does that mean? "
Kinda of a hairy stomach, really clean back, nothing much on my chest, and my legs are a goddamn forest.
If you have so much hair that you can be classified as "hairy" I don't see any way to fight it. If a guy as a little bit of hair, then sure trimming or shaving isn't a big deal. You aren't going to be that attached to it anyway. However for someone like me, I am my hairy-ness and there's so much, it's a logistical nightmare to start grooming.
It just makes absolutely no sense. Where does an Asian country implement non-Asian looking androgynous characters into its character design? The sociological reasons are many but the sheer lack of dissent or contrast in this respect is astounding. I could be wrong but I have yet to find a distinct presence of non-Anime from Japan in both their video games (more so JRPG's) and animation.
How long until people get tired of it? I'm curious to see.
Pretty much takes all the cool stuff from CS and puts into the game established by SoC. I'm loving it so far. Really cool how it makes specific areas as "anomalies" which gives each type an identity and an unmarked challenge for the player to tackle.

Oh you are right good sir. Maybe it was wrong when they first had it up or I read it wrong. Either way great deal if you have either game. "
I've been FIENDING to play it and this is perfect. Thanks for letting me know. Luckily I had $20.29 on a gift card left lol.

" Has anyone (who's made a western-themed game) posted a bunch of old-timey "WANTED" posters throughout a city to promote their game? Because if not, then what the hell are they waiting for?! "
Odd you should mention that, considering Rockstar made a bunch of WANTED posters to advertise GTAIV. "
I'm pretty sure a bunch of WANTED posters all over a city isn't the smartest idea for a game publishing company. Probably gonna cause too much trouble given how awesome the above ad is.
