To add on to all the BS that comes out of his mouth he also said that L.A. Noire was derivative and uninspiring. Too bad for him that FC2 was more like that. Glad he's gone. He's pretty selfish and doesn't seem to want to listen to the fans at all. Good riddance.

Not only that, but he insulted the entire map-making community by saying he didn't think we could handle more than a couple of game modes. Yes, he did say that. That's why, while other contemporary games feature tons of game modes and lots of customization options, they only gave us 4 modes and not very many options.

This makes me so angry reading this. I remember this.
So glad he's not on this project.

I repeat the sentiments of Killa_677

I don't know who he is, but that fact that he brought us Far Cry 2, I think he was a pretty great guy. I love Far Cry 2 just the way it is; it's unexpected, uncompromising and immersive

Sadly Far Cry 3 is going to much easier and linear than Far Cry 2(Demo showed it: Clueless AIs, AIs who died in one shot, health regeneration, the environment feels enclosed this time, "the players choose when to start a fight" ->WTF; where's the hard-edge, balls-to-the-wall survival element in that?

IMO, Far Cry is dangerously on the edge of losing it's unique flavor; Hell, I think the series is happy and willingly to dive to its death.
So it looks like Ubi is going to make you Far Cry 1 fans happy this time around . Just expect it to be flooded with 12 years old COD "veterans" in about a month

They're making it more realistic. the environment was NOT enclosed in any way. There was some vegetation, but hell if you don't want a ****in' thing to hide behind then sure you're gonna hate this game. But not many people want that. And **** YOU CAN RUN RIGHT AWAY FROM THE MISSION if you want to. It's the most open game I've seen yet. Yes, you choose when to start the fight. It's realistic. The enemies aren't just gonna be chillin', throwing some dead bodies into the riv- HOLY **** THERE'S A GUY I COULD NEVER SEE IN REAL LIFE ON THAT RIDGE! KILL HIM! That doesn't happen. -_- And no, I doubt thwere will be too many CoD veterans on there. They can't stray from the three magical words "CALL. OF. DUTY" If their lives depended on it. And I don't think they're going to enjoy it anyway. Too different than MW3. Health regeneration isn't realistic and I agree with you on this point. I liked Far Cry and Instinct's health system, personally. YEAH it takes about two or three bullets to kill someone. Remember: Realism. That was probably on the easiest setting, and in real life, you try to take more than three or four AK-47 rounds the the chest and not fall over dead. About the survival element, they said there will be something crazy and ape**** around every corner. Trust me, there will be survival. The AI is clueless because they don't ****ing know that you're there. If someone doesn't know that you're ****ing there, HOW THE HELL ARE THEY GONNA KNOW YOU'RE THERE? Damnit, use logic. The game will not be in any way linear. The ability to explore two giant islands, quit missions at what ever time you want, avoid everyone and go stealth, or just go Rambo on the enemy, is quite damn enough for me and many others. If it isn't enough for you, enjoy your rubber-skinned, takes twenty hours to kill Far Cry 2 enemies. Although no one has made the mistake to put them in any of their new games. And you're talking about "easy"? Far Cry 1 was way more hardcore than Far Cry 2. And Dan Hays, Director on Far Cry 3 said that they're gong ore for the Far Cry 1 feel.


P.S Holy **** I just noticed the clouds and smoke in the wallpaper on this forum. F***ing beautiful. FC3 FTW!

Dude, i have played IP and Far Cry 2. IP lasted me for like a week. FC2 lasted me for like 3 years(soon to be 4). Instinct's AIs waited for you to shoot them. FC2's AIs are extremely unpredictable; lots of times it is awesome to caught them off guard and proceed to clean house 10+ of them without getting a scratch. Lots of time you are able to clear a whole outpost with a silenced makarov. Sometimes they pin you behind a rock, pushing you to think on your feet.

You know, in Far Cry 3(if I get the game) I'm just gonna try to pretend that my enemies are high and don't pay attention enough to see an armed guy standing on a cliff looking at them in broad daylight. I mean, it makes sense; bunch of loonies on an island. I bet have nothing to do but getting high. DUH, right?

Ubi had already confirmed that FC3 will be dialed down in difficulty because FOR SOME REASON, FC2 was too hard for the majority of the population(no offense to any of you guys)

And no, FC1 was NEVER, NOT EVEN CLOSE as hardcore as FC2. LOL

Wherever you're going with this, I think the point Wretched and the rest of us were trying to make was that Clint Hocking screwed us on multiplayer and all it's options, as well as game control. It's slow, it's clunky, it took all the fun out of what we all came to love out of Far Cry Instincts/Predator. Our main concern is the map editor, and the multiplayer itself, outside of that you can go on and on about the story all you want. Hocking may have been a fooking genius when it comes to AI, but he sure put a C0ck in our @r$es when it came to what really counts, MULTIPLAYER!

God Bless the Community!

Well, Far Cry 2 aimed to be different; it was. Multiplayer wasn't nothing special, but the SP was fun; but again, it wasn't for everyone.


We all got different opinions and tastes. But hey, look on the bright side: Far Cry 3 is coming out, and MOST of you will have an absolute blast with the game


Haha, I know that I won't. Seeing the series abandoned a great and unique idea and plummeting down like this(so is this ubi account, my last-ditch attempt to save Far Cry series went to hell, but apparently no one gives a s*@#), I know SP aint gonna be a blast for me, so I count the multiplayer is at least on par with Battlefield 3(being having a map editor and all)


But then I will still buy it, mostly just to fulfill a shattered expectation I have had for 3 years. Way to go Ubisoft, I had really high hopes but truly there are no creativiy left in the gaming industry

Health regeneration, wow...

[DapperHayden007]

all that over health regeneration?! the game is still different.

No Military Warfare where bombs are dropping off everywhere, the setting is a "Far Cry" from the rest of the modern world e.t.c, it is nothing like BFBC or CoD

I love clint hocking, he IS a genius. Far Cry 2 was great thanks to his hand at the wheel. shame he wont make his mark on the franchise again. sure it was overly ambitious, but its better than playing it conservative...again.
