I agree that the Far Cry gameplay is lackluster, the game was a huge tech demo anyways. However, on it being similar to Half Life, you ought to re-play one or the other and reassess that statement. The similarities end when we're given guns in both.Zimmer wrote:
Because it was a complete rip off from HL2. Once I started seeing the mutants I thought I was playing HL2. It wasn't that fun a game. Some nice environments, some alright AI and some fun weapons. Average FPS, tbh.
The settings are vastly different, Half Life goes through Black Mesa, an alien planet and a dystopian future with far too many smaller settings within to list. Far Cry had the forested islands and various facilities merely to advance the plot.
Speaking of which, Far Cry is about an ex-spec ops soldier who winds up on an island where some backwards scientists are creating genetically modified primates, and later humans, which end up going apeshit. You know what that sounds like? Bioshock. Far Cry is far more like Bioshock then it is Half Life. In Half Life, the Xen come to earth, somewhat aided by Breen and the experiments already taking place at Black Mesa. The Xen are an alien species, many conglomerated actually, not genetically modified apes and people. Not withstanding is everything surrounding Freeman, which will probably come clear in HL3 once the G-Man gets figured out.
If you don't mind me asking, besides the fact you were fighting both humans and non humans, what reminded you of Half Life?
System Shock 2 did, but they were impossible to hit with your wrench, hitbox was screwed up.
