edit: i thought ddraig or w/e made the weird post. i was gonna make oh "oh wait did you mean trump" joke after this one but that would be kind of pointless since it wasn't actually ddraig or w/e who made the original post and this is really going nowhere.

Far Cry 2 is the best. 3 and 4 are loving terrible.

I also don't want to bang Trump's daughter, because having a jealous lover after you can be a bad thing, especially when he's the POTUS.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

So many good details. Like the second area has a ton more white enemies because more foreign fighters are being hired in the escalation.

I don't disagree. However, out of all the games to bear the Far Cry name, Far Cry 2 is the best, followed by Blood Dragon. That one with the superpowers was pretty good, too.

The only thing that can stop an outlaw with a dildo is a good person with a bigger dildo.

Clearly the answer to this dildo escalation is to create a permit system to control the dildos filling our back alleys.

I realised Far Cry 2 was a good game when, using the same logic process as an actual terrorist, I independently came to use the same strategy they used.

The problem being when taking out a convoy with explosives, placing the explosive then retreating to a safe distance often meant you would misjudge where the explosion would go off, particularly on a flat plain with no obvious point of reference.

So I solved this problem by setting up a roadblock with a lovely car that would have the effect of blocking off the road and providing a reference point for when to trigger the explosive. When they're near the car, they're near the explosive.

I was then watching Generation Kill or something then saw them getting incredibly nervous whenever they encountered an abandoned vehicle, for that exact reason.

So Far Cry 2 is kind of an effective Guerilla training programme.

Not really, because those are bitchmade first gen terrorist tactics. I'd use a tree I picked out or put something inconspicuous on the ground as the trigger point. Something you wouldn't even notice unless you drove down that same road every day for months.

far cry 2 was bad because it introduced factions of african revolutionaries but then completely failed to give them any sort of meaningful distinction in gameplay, meaning the factions were just pointless window dressing around generic quest givers. also the frequency of enemy vehicle encounters was just to pad out the game and make it take longer to go between objectives - at least far cry 3 allowed you to shut them down as you captured outposts

the far cry series can never decide if it wants to be a linear plot driven grimdark shooter with a message or a casual open world exploration game, and it doesn't do either as well as competitors

The factions being indistinguishable is thematic and on purpose. They're just warlords fighting over dirt and don't even bother paying lip service to their supposed ideals to you. You can't even tell who you're fighting in the field or keep track of who you're working for and every mission is just to senselessly destroy things. Every thing is constantly getting worse or falling apart from your guns to your health as you try to keep the malaria at bay.

yeah i'm sure the lazy characterization and lack of any sort of identifying signal between factions is a deliberate choice and not a retroactive justification for cutting corners. i mean far cry 3 just put all the bad guys in red shirts and all the good guys in blue shirts. or better yet, just have one faction, then you don't end up with the absurdly jarring situation where you shoot up faction A and kill their guys, then immediately go to the faction A leader and promise to be nice to get another go somewhere and kill guys mission, then the mission after that you're killing faction A again etc.
