    Considering how badly the reputation for Malaria in Far Cry 2 was, you might just want to buy Far Cry, Far Cry 3, and Blood Dragon on their own.

    Is Far Cry Classic ever coming to the marketplace?

    Well now we know it will be on XBL by the 14th February 2014. They said it would be out this summer, well summer is just getting started here but I don't think that is what they meant.

    Far Cry 2 is the only one I didn't enjoy, I pretty much hated it.

    lol If you are really that bad at shooters then yeah just stay away from them. If you actually play the game then you will probably find that malaria does not cause any huge difficulty.

    OT:
    Hoping to see Far Cry Classic on the marketplace to complete the collection.

    I'm downloading FC3 Blood Dragon at the moment and have played and completed FC3. Sucks that I live in America. Europe gets all the good Ubisoft Series Bundles.

    I know there was much hate for Far Cry 2 but I really enjoyed it, great shooter with beautiful locations, but Far Cry 3 was a huge step-up and one of my favourite games, looking forward to Far Cry Classic!

    I believe you are referring to the also recently announced "Far Cry Collection" for the U.S., which is indeed only for PS3 and won't include Far Cry Classic. European Xbox 360 (and PS3) owners can rest assured that this "Wild Expedition" edition is indeed coming to them.

    Yeah, it wasn't the Malaria that made the game frustrating, it was the quick and frequent respawning of the enemy outposts.Dread Reaver said:

    Never understood this Far Cry 2 hatred. I enjoyed it way more than the original.
  • Posted on 08 January 14 at 05:09
    Agreed, far cry 2 was awesome. Malaria was never an issue, just press a button every now and then to inject yourself. Game play was super fun, graphics were decent for it's time, and it had a very open, approach however you want feel. Good times.

    I'm absolutely shocked to see Far Cry Classic actually getting released. I've been waiting ever since the announcement and the missed release window hoping it'd actually see the light of day.

    Though it better still be $6.99 and not marked up to some ridiculous price.

    Honestly I've stopped paying attention to this. I don't give a sweaty monkey nipple about Far Cry related stuff until they announce a release date for Classic. It is a bit disappointing that they're acting like Instincts didn't exist - I've heard that was a pretty decent game especially since it came so early in the console life cycle.

    That's because the original was pretty goddamn terrible. I'm honestly surprised that both Far Cry and Crysis somehow managed to delude the PC crowd hard enough that they each became an actual series of games.

    graphics were decent for it's time
    Those graphics were pretty damn amazing for their time especially on the PC. The character models perhaps not so much but the wilderness and weapon effects were pretty amazing.

    Ugh, so much yes for this statement. Malaria was stupid since it forced you to do the side quests that you perhaps didn't want to do. Nice way of railroading in side mission stuff but a minor hindrance. The respawning enemies was stupid and that damnable guardpost respawning was such a terrible idea that you'd swear it could actually transmit malaria at you through your monitor.
    Looking to boost any MP achievements I don't have for any game I own.

    I personally don't get the hatred for FC2. I loved it.

    Most hated thing of far cry 2. The random enemy trucks spawning behind you every 5 minutes

    AHH I hope it stacks with the current Far Cry 2 + 3.. that'd be sweet.
  • Posted on 08 January 14 at 08:21
    I already own and have completed Far Cry 3, Far Cry 2 and Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon. This looks great for people who don't own the games yet, and maybe i would have bought it if it included instincts predator. But since it doesn't.... pass.
