Well I grabbed my copy of Far Cry 2 today, hence the slow and most probably less frequent updates today, and for the next few days unfortunately. First impressions are very good, I’m loving the open feeling of the game, the option to explore by going around, frequent gun battles at outposts, the feeling that you are not just dropped into the game on a set path.

This is, so far, the best point, but at the same time the worst point of the game for me. It is great to be able to have freedom to choose to do 1 or the other, the freedom to casually stroll around admiring the landscapes, but for me, this leaves too much to chance. I’ve often found myself doing a certain mission, then off on several ’side’ missions only to forget where I was and what is the main plot line, but is that because there isn’t one?

Well, as I said I’ve only had the game for 1 day, still very early, so my opinions could change, but so far I am, on the whole, very impressed. Let’s just hope I don’t give up because of the god damn awful save points.
