Farcry 2 was created with a greater emphasis on realism. One of the reasons why you've to navigate the map with your hand. Far Cry 2 and GTA 4 were both released in 2008. Both games placed a greater emphasis on realism. That decision was well received by many gamer, but it was not well received by others. For example, I enjoyed Farcry 2's realism. At the time, it felt like a revolutionary game. Jungle Fever, Fields on Fire, Night & Day Circle, Weapon damage, and so on. There was no such realism in a first-person open world game at the time. On the other hand, I wasn't a big fan of GTA 4. Because I believed that too much realism detracted from the pleasure of the regular GTA series. There were a lot of side mission games that were absent, possibly due to the realism. This is merely my opinion. Others may hold a different viewpoint.
but damn its such a great game. So did you help the 'The Jackal' or what? i usually do. cant remember if you survive the blast at the end if you help him or not but he is such a charismatic villain i just have to help him, evil maybe but still
