Is this game worth getting? I have heard that the game has very bad fps on consoles.

GusBricker4175d ago

I have it for 360 and never had a issue once. Note: I did install it to my HDD, tho.

Great game, btw!

SeanScythe4175d ago

The game is a blast I have it for my PS3 and never had any problems and ht FPS and graphics are amazing.

-MD-4175d ago

25 FPS @ 720p isn't really "amazing".

@TheFreak - Get it on PC if you can.

grifter0244175d ago

-MD-= FPS doesn't mean everything. It's a shame that people look over a game just because the graphics are sub-par or complain about FPS.

The game is fun, I have it on the 360 and never had a problem outside of a few hiccups but they cleared up in 2 seconds and didn't stop me from enjoying the game.

SeanScythe4175d ago

@MD I have a gaming PC but I like it on my PS3 more. Just because it's not pc quality doesn't make it any less amazing in my book. I haven't had any drops in FPS on my ps3 with this game it hold steady and runs smooth. The only time I had a problem with crashes was in the MAP editor, that thing is crap.

sarshelyam4175d ago

@ -MD-

I can run Wolfenstein, or Spear of Destiny at nearly 3 times the intended framerate on my PC, but it doesn't mean I should.

grifter0244175d ago

SeanScythe,sarsyhelyam, and I just said FPS isn't the only thing you should look at when buying a game and we all have multiple disagrees.

Wow the gaming community has degraded considerably if alot of people put FPS over gameplay now adays...and I thought the whole "The graphics suck," Argument was bad.

if you dont get it youre doing yourself a disservice.

ado9084175d ago

Honestly you won't even notice the FPS drop on the 360. I know I never do and I'm almost done with the game.

ado9084175d ago

Don't know what the disagree's are for. In my experience you don't even notice the frame rate drop. Well unless you're playing online which I have only seen my brother play a bit.

mochachino4175d ago

The game runs terribly on my 360 with ample tearing and poor framerates; however, the gameplay is amazing. I have it installed and it's a 360 slim.

Definitely worth buying imo.

teedogg804175d ago

Well, I have the game on my 360 and yes the fps is horrible. It has lots of screen tearing too. If you have a 360 installing it on the hard drive doesn't help with performance. I've heard that the PS3 version is even worse. I just don't understand how some gamers pretend that the game runs great when it doesn't. Now don't get me wrong the game is amazing.

j4re4175d ago

Screen tear... You get used to it but whoa... Never has a game made a better case for needing next gen power. Bring it on.

I'll tell you this, play call of duty then play this game. The frame rate is just unbearable to be played online.

GearSkiN4175d ago

It's gotta be Far Cry 2 for me, the feeling of that game I'm still yet to find again, just everything about it, I'd kill for a remaster, I'd even be happy with just a bump in resolution and frame rate, occasionally go back to it, think I'm gunna have to do just that now 😂

porkChop1h ago

A remaster of Far Cry 2 would be amazing, especially with the mods that fixed the broken stealth system and the dumb checkpoint respawns. Include those fixes and it would be a huge upgrade over the original.

JEECE1h ago

Enemies respawn in Far Cry 2? Terrible! It's a broken system! Make me a one-man army who can inexplicably hold an entire region!

Enemies respawn in Dark Souls and Zelda? Brilliant! So much more hardcore! Glad the devs took risks!

Farcry 3 and literally thats it! lol

GamingSinceForever463d ago (Edited 463d ago )

I recently tried 3 for the first time but the frame rate was a turnoff.

I liked 5 and 6 though.

banger88462d ago

If you have a Series X or S, the Xbox 360 version runs at 60 fps with fps boost. It's a shame the remaster doesn't.

isarai464d ago

2 and 3, pretty much the only ones i really enjoyed. 1 was amazing for the time but aged quite poorly. 4 has the elephant gun, all i can praise from any entry after 3 lol

cooperdnizzle463d ago

Ummmm 3 than stop.

Okay maybe two as well. But yeah probably 3 and then move on.

JEECE463d ago (Edited 463d ago )

Far Cry 2. People constantly rant about games now being too easy, holding your hand, having too many unnecessary RPG-lite leveling features, etc. People specifically complain about open world games being too focused on tons of collectibles and "checkmarks" that just waste time.

Far Cry 2 is an answer to all of those complaints. It was made by Ubisoft before they fell into all the traps discussed above (and before they started inserting towers into their games to defog the map). It has respawning enemies, weapons that degrade, and the collectible diamonds are very useful in the game (which you find in a similar way to the way you find shrines in BOTW with a radar system). The map you have is an in game item you pull out while playing, not a pause menu that is unnecessarily detailed. Also the enemy AI and physics are much better than later entries in the series.

It has a mixed reputation because people at the time said it was too hard, the weapon degradation was annoying, and then respawning enemies were annoying. FC2 came out in 2008, so this was before games like Dark Souls and BOTW had come out and made it cool to like these types of features.

XbladeTeddy462d ago

Far Cry 2, the one with the AI that find you through walls and trees, can one shot you from a mile away and have 100% accuracy? That was frustrating not fun because cheap AI.

JEECE462d ago (Edited 462d ago )

Uhh, I mean, it isn't one of these games where once the enemies have detected you they will magically forget you exist because you walked behind a wall or went into a bush. And yeah the AI isn't stormtrooper level accuracy. Again, these are positives, not negatives to me.

To be fair, I'm really directing this at the people most critical of "Modern Ubisoft" or "Modern Open World" design elements. Like the type of people who fawned all over Elden Ring because it had a clean UI because they are so burnt out by the "checkbox" type of open world design.

If you like those types of games, then a later FC game like 3 and especially 4-5 would be more your style.
