Farcry 2: adding insult to injury, Playing it for the first time on steam Options

[Wounded Ronin]

So, I've been playing Farcry 2 which I got cheaply on Steam. I enjoyed the first game a lot more.

People have already written about all the ways that it sucks, so I'll just articulate my few personal pet peeves.

The malaria medication system is bullshit. You would take your meds according to a dosing schedule, not just when you become symptomatic. In the first place the meds wouldn't instantaneously eliminate symptoms. Second you would create drug resistant parasites in your body. Third if it's doxycyclene you're popping that increases your sensitivity to sunlight. Fourth, what kind of idiot douchebag is your character for not arriving in-country on prophylactic meds?

The weapon malfunctions are bullshit. The animations are all wrong, demonstrating exactly how you wouldn't clear a casing still hooked on your extractor. You wouldn't just bang on the weapon like an idiot. You'd have to strip the mag, rack rack rack, and reload. Banging on the weapon or hitting the forward assist is retarded. Also, if your gun blew up on you, your last shot wouldn't hit whatever you were aming at, because it probably hit an obstruction in your barrel.

That game makes me stupid as I play it.
