But the stubborn part of me wouldn’t let me do it. My first impulse was to give up and move on to another game. I really like Far Cry 2, but you’re not making it easy. BUT THAT WAS BACK IN THE LATE ‘80s! GAMES AREN’T SUPPOSED TO RANDOMLY DELETE/CORRUPT YOUR SAVE FILES! I had my Zelda game erased more than once with that battery save function the game used. The last time I had a game do this to me was when I was a kid playing my NES. The next closest save file I still had that the game didn’t delete was at 4% completion. Not that it mattered because the game erased that save file too. The next closest save file I had was hours behind where I was. However, I was using only one save file for most of the game. Wait, so my game not only crashed, but also deleted/corrupted my save file? Seriously? How? Why?Īnd yes, I was using multiple save files. And sure enough, my saved game was there, but it was an empty file. To confirm, I go into my Steam folder where the files for my saved games are stored. So I go into the Load Game option to manually boot my save from there–only to find that my save is gone. I load the game up again, get to the main menu, click on Continue Story to reboot my last save–and I get a Load Failed message. I get irritated, as this is now about the fourth time Far Cry 2 has done this since I started playing it. And instead of saving, the game crashes back to my desktop. After about 15 minutes of playing, I go to save my game.
If you play as Andre, Hakim, Frank, or Xianyong, he will appear in the southern district.Something happened to me with Far Cry 2 that has never happened to me before with a PC game.If you play as Warren, Josip, Paul, or Quarbani, Marty will appear in the northern district.The company he tell has left him hereĭepending which avatar the player chooses, Marty will appear as a buddy in either, Leboa-Sako, the north district, or, Bowa Seko, the south district. the first time you met him on Mike' s Bar the talk of a business company, maybe, and tell the name but i dont remember it.Used to be married to some Egyptian woman.Made Gunny Sergeant, then went private-sector. Did a couple college years then re-enlisted. Not exactly an intellectual, but he can hold his own. Exp: USMC (Force protection) SOUTHCOM advisory group Colombia, Peru (ret.).Nationality: Brazilian, nationalized U.S.Note: Excepting the 'bare' main missions, any buddy missions or buddy suggested alternate main missions, are completely optional, and are not required to further the story in Far Cry 2. Solving such buddy missions will also further the 'history' between the both of you, making it possible to turn any buddy into your best buddy, not just the first two you encounter. Just visit the bar in the appropriate District when the map shows the active icon. There are two such buddy missions per buddy, and are always the same. It is thus possible to turn your second best buddy, into your best buddy.Įvery buddy will ask you for help with some personal mission. Note that getting saved by the same buddy will increase the 'history' between the both of you. Your second best buddy hangs out at unlocked Safe Houses (from time to time) offering to save and protect you, should you be fatally wounded. Solving the 'side quests' your best buddy suggests when playing six of the main missions (per District) will yield some quite useful rewards, added to all unlocked Safe Houses: The buddy suggesting them will just explain them in a different way, corresponding to his/her character and background. No matter who the best buddy is, these 'side quests', much like the main missions are always the same. Your best buddy, the buddy you did the most missions with or for, will suggest alternate or additional 'side quests' to the fixed set of main missions that further the story of Far Cry 2. Or find them wounded across Africa in specific locations(like the mountains in the NORTH part of the map with Pala - there is a small burning plane crashed in the cliffs and a buddy lies on the ground next to it, asking you to give him some syretts). You can do missions for various people(like the guards in front of the faction offices) These buddies add a few interesting ramifications to the game.īuddies can be found in 2 different ways: During the game the player takes on the role of one of the nine male buddies, so that up to eleven (of a total of 12) buddies can be saved / encounter in the course of the game.
