YES! YES! YES! I felt like such a crazy person for defending this game for these reasons. Funny thing is that on my second play through I knew that they were going to kill me so I did the stringing along and then kiiled them. Also, I think that this is one of the very few true non-linear games. The mostly terrible voice acting and the shallow choice system took me back a bit but other than that, I think this is the type of game you wanted to see from the Character Empathy video.

wow that was the most balanced video game review i have ever seen. I personally didn't like the game due to it's repetitive nature and the annoying things you mentioned but i've given it a 5/5 for a well balanced, well thought out video review.

I must confess I was drawn to this game thanks to this review, but I have to say that I found the underlying shooting mechanics to not be all that fun. I agree with the concept of the buddy system etc and everything being great, but I found the actual gameplay to not be much fun, which is a shame because I really enjoyed The Void which is another game you recommended.

One time playing this game I missed a dude and an ammo box asploded and wounded him then his buddy came to save him so I murdered him too

The one bad thing about this game, that I've heard, is that the enemies will respawn, very quickly, at places you clear out.

This is another game that I hated because I sucked at it. I couldn't do ANYTHING because I kept dying all the time.

Hey Anthony, have you ever played a S.T.A.L.K.E.R game?

It does the open world aspect a lot better than FC2 and the atmosphere is just amazing.

@635574 If you fall and a buddy saves you they stay and fight along side you. If you choose to do a buddy's mission the mission will almost always be a two-parter where they become directly involved in the second part and fight along side you.

Yay! I thought i was the only one who liked it.

i just wish FC2 was way smaller in map size and didnt have the old too gamey features like enemy respawns on checkpoints, plus it came in a really crowded time.

Also buddes werent used as teammates, or i gave up and uninstalled the game way sooner than i should have.

I had one of the heavest moments in a videogame, my buddy was down, i diddn't want him to die so i injected him with a syringe, it diddn't work but I diddn't give up, after three syringes I realised he was going to die anddied while I was trying to heal him

Couldn't agree more with this review. My biggest complaint about the game isn't the respawning guard posts but the glitch where crucial quest giving NPCs just wouldn't spawn. Happened to me in two separate play-throughs, so I never even got to finish it.
