Piracy is, of course, a problem for companies in many industries. In my opinion, the core problem with Crysis was the requirements, and, the last time I checked, first-person shooters are a disaster to control with a gamepad.

Then you have Crytek’s President and co-founder, Cevat Yerli, stating in and interview with PCPlay that piracy was to blame for the semi-lackluster sales numbers that the game achieved in the first few months after the game’s release, and that piracy is the PC gaming industry’s core problem. This was certainly the reason that I wasn’t interested in touching it. After changing the face of the FPS genre, they develop and release Crysis, knowing that was more or less unplayable to a large portion of the PC gaming audience thanks to extremely steep hardware requirements. However, Crytek certainly isn’t immune from its share of my dissatisfaction either. Similar to other situations, it’s natural to root for the underdog – Crytek – in this situation. Ubisoft uses controversial DRM, and they’ve completely ignored us and other sites and publications when it comes to review copies – and this goes all the way up to publications such as Electronic Gaming Monthly. I have never been much of fan of Ubisoft, so I don’t have a hard time understanding this decision.
As you know, Crytek ended up in an agreement to do business with Electronic Arts for their future games and did not develop this sequel. It is quite a great gaming experience and definitely stacks up as one of the better PC game releases of 2008.įirst, though, just how did we end up with Far Cry 2? There isn’t even a Jack Carver! The original Far Cry seemed to have come out of nowhere and held its own as a decent first-person shooter for its time. Your main objective is to take him out, but it’s going to take a lot of work to make that happen.įar Cry 2 promises over 50 hours of gameplay, offers massive maps with no load points, has amazing graphics, is set in a unique environment for gaming, and allows the player to accept missions in any order. In this free-roaming action role-playing game (this is not just an FPS), you are given the objective to take out the elusive and highly dangerous arms dealer known as “the Jackal.” The United Front for Liberation and Labour (UFLL) and the Alliance for Popular Resistance (APR) are embattled in a civil war, and the Jackal is selling to both sides, continuing to escalate the all-out brutality. Set in the war-torn and poverty-stricken continent of Africa, Far Cry 2 drops you in the middle of militia driven chaos.
