Only 15 years ago? Jeez, that game feels ancient by now. The kinda game us old nerds bring up whenever kids brag about FarCry 3 and up.
I hope I’m not the only one who loved the gun jam mechanics? Or the way a NPC friend could drag me out of combat if I died, and only give me a basic pistol? Gamers today are so inconvenienced from setbacks and accidents outside their controls. Losing equipment just doesn’t happen anymore. And if it does, its called a survival game or survivor mode.
The jamming mechanics were fine. It was the weapon degradation rate that got a lot of flak. You could watch a gun deteriorate from perfect to garbage by auto firing through a handful of magazines.
It got so much hate for the jam back in the day (and a lot of other stuff too) but I loved it. It’s still by far my favorite Far Cry. The new ones are way too cartoony.
I played it a few years ago and distinctly remember not getting jams (maybe 2-3 the whole time) I was just conscious about ensuring my guns weren’t in disrepair.
One of the best moments I had was with a gun breaking.
I was mowing down enemies with my machine gun and that thing flying apart was just so comedic in its timing
I ironically think FC2 was the best game in the series. It’s not perfect and not my favourite game of all time or anything, but it was miles better than the rest of the FC games.
