  1. Shame it’s so forgotten. Not many people mention this game at all, and even retrospectives of the Far Cry series as a whole tends to gloss this one over.

    I guarentee if more people knew about this game, and knew about how deep the combat can be when you use all the tools available to you, this recent hipster apologism for Far Cry 2 would probably never happen, because everything 2 does in terms of sandbox gameplay is utterly trounced by Far Cry Instincts.

    Still the best Far Cry game of all time. Now I’m just waiting for Xenia to reach a development point where I can play it on PC.

    1. @gameragodzilla Console exclusivity tends to do a lot to limit how many people are exposed to any given game.

      1. @maiyannah Evidently, especially since it wasn't a heavily promoted console exclusive unlike Halo. It still irks me when Far Cry 2 gets all this praise for doing Potato Knishes that Far Cry Instincts did earlier, did more often, and did better.

      2. @maiyannah Good because exclusivity sucks
