FarCry 2, Healing


This is one awesome game. The graphics are INTENSE! This picture is taken on VERY HIGH settings. Not ULTRA HIGH (where u can literally see every fur on the sheep!), which my com will lag here and there. V.HIGH already makes it lag a bit but playable for me. The physics are super realistic.

Here's some examples:

You can get sick...yes...malaria.

With the flamethrower, you can literally burn anything in this harsh african landscape, even grasses on fire will spread!

When you're injured you can use first aid on yourself, in serious cases, you can even use a sharp object to remove the bullets from your wound or use some solution or hot substance to close up the wound, some of which can be a bit bloody, e.g. pulling a metal splint out of your exposed leg wound. Other first aid at critical health include, relocation of bones, putting out a fire on your shirt, etc..

I havent yet explored other means of first aid as Im not crazy enough to go round throwing grenades at myself or diving into a muddy pond filled with sharp objects underwater. lol.

Instead of reading from built in maps on the interface, the map is actually an object you can carry. So, when you take out the map, you use both hands. You cannot read the map and shoot at the same time. Thats what makes it realistic. Same with driving, although most cars have an inbuilt GPS, which has a REALLY small screen on your dashboard btw, its hard to see and drive at the same time.

Apart from the deafness of ears from loud explosions, when you sprint and become tired, your 'eyes' will squint and ull start seeing bright lights on your screen to simulate the real thing.

The lighting is awesome, in dark areas, you experience difficulty seeing, and objects look bright under the sun and they glare at you!


Ok, I managed to get an ULTRA HIGH quality screenshot of what I did to my house's backyard o.o Grass that are burnt remains brown or ashy. (Id rather stick to V.High though, its smoother and I wont have trouble aiming and shooting at running people LOL)

Btw, your weapons can rust/jam too so look out for them. Especially when they get dirty, yes, they can. lol.

At cutscenes where u fall or get injured, you see your character's hands in front of your screen, limping, holding on an object..crawling, grabbing your wrist in pain, etc. Other actions where u see your own hands are opening of doors and other interactions Ive not discovered yet.

The most fascinating thing about this game is the ability to sleep at your 'hideout's to recover. While ure sleeping, you can choose what time to wake up, allowing you to do your mission in the daytime or at night time, or even at the peak hour. Each scenario will differentiate according to the time.

E.g. in the weapon's shop, I went too early and the cashier isnt there yet. So I had to drive my way back and 'sleep' until noon or something.

If you have a really high end computer, this is the game for you. =)



On another note, thanks guys for your prayers and encouragements. Cus right after my fever, I had an eyelid infection on both eyes, PLUS...a throat infection that was so bad, you know the balloon thingy at the back of your mouth, near your throat? The thing dangling?

It was so swollen, when I breathed in and out I could feel it knocking against the back of my tongue! That was how big the swelling was. Swallowing food felt like swallowing that balloon thingy hanging from the top of my throat! o.o I was so scared it came off! Its literally so swollen it rested on the back of my tongue! Gosh!

But praise God.

Fever went down overnight.
Migraine went died off after 24hrs.
Throat infection gone after 24hrs.
Double eyelid infection gone overnight.

PTL! =)
