Jams and explosions.

Playing Far Cry 2 seriously made me ponder how much 'reality' I wanted there to be in virtual reality.
Let's begin on a positive note.
The game is good. Too good in fact that I had to tone down all the nifty graphics and additional details to make the environment much more realistic. I played it at LOW. Quite sad about it actually; but hey, at least I get to shoot a few bastards.

The game so far is not too bad. But I must say it is awfully long. I spent almost the whole day playing it and has only completed like 16% of the game. Most of the time, believe it or not, is spent traveling around the expansive African terrain around in my Jeep or that stupid boat that steers like a diseased monster. I hate the navigation system. The map always blocks my view when I am driving, be it on land or in water, so I invariably ending up crashing into the tree or running aground. I guess I am too used to the GPS system that is used the NFS franchises. Oh yes. And I accidentally killed a couple of zebras and gazelles en route in the game as well. You can't blame me really. The enemies shot my headlights. So, I was literally driving blind (the map still blocking view). So yes. But what goes around comes around. I always ended up turtling when I have a road kill.

The enemies spawn like insects I swear. Even the splicers in Rapture don't reproduce that quickly. So more often than not, I end up having to literally slice my way through since I am left without ammo. NIL.

Guns jam quite a significant bit in the game. My pistols keep exploding. Probably old. So I always use the ones I purchase on the Internet. The RPGS are still a bitch, going the other direction where I want it to go. The most ridiculous shot was one that went 36o. It boomeranged and flew past my head, decimating the house behind me. =.=

I am currently stuck at some junkyard where I have no clue what I am suppose to do. I will take this as a sign and stop playing already. I have got to get my ass back to doing work soon. There are still holiday assignments left undone. Annoyingly. And I am wondering whether or not I should take that R paper. Hmmm.

Overall. The game is good and fully derserves its 94% rating. I wished there were more powerful rides other than stupid Jeeps though. Perhaps a bike or something. Or maybe a rocket propelled skate board. Whatever. I don't mind riding horses even. Sure they will make a good decoy. =D
