[Official] Far Cry 2


Recommended Posts

I definitely want to get this game but it's really annoying that it's not available on Steam in the UK. I'm going to have to PayPal money to someone in Canada and get them to gift me the game, which is a lot of hassle. I don't know why Ubisoft are being so ridiculous by denying international digital distribution, especially when they're a European company!

NEway, the game looks stunning and it's clear that a lot of love has gone into this game. Even the multiplayer looks like it could be quite fun... certainly better than the terrible disappointment that was Crysis Wars.

At least in this game the plot seems realistic. Others still thrive on monsters, aliens, and mutated beings. Take any game for that matter. I am satisfied with the effort the Ubisoft Montreal team has put into. Their last game Assassin's Creed was flawless in my opinion. Also the fact that the gameplay may run into almost 50 hrs is quite amazing. Anticipating with bated breath.

I really can't wait...this is what I was hoping Crysis was going to be if the media releases live up to their claims. Loved Farcry's map design and semi open gameplay and had hoped they would expand on that for Crysis. Instead I felt it was probably more linear if anything, probably a side effect of trying to really script and fine tune the story so they kept control of the pacing more than I'd hoped for. In the end Crysis IMHO was ok, but it's the free form do anything of this one that I'm really excited about.

Besides...this game has hand gliders. Can't lose.

    • VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.

    • Too soon, I'm still not over this death!
    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary to compete against AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update bug that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
