i don't like Far Cry. i've been accused of not "getting it" and all that, but i really don't see whats so special about it. if anything, it frustrates me. The ape things are rediculously powerful (2 hits on EASY and your dead) and the dialouge is the worst i've ever heard in a game. i like how open ended it is, thats nice. the story is just like any other game out there, experiment goes bad, shoot the bad experiment, wash, rinse, and repeat. i'd much rather play HL2 or FEAR.
