His reasoning may be fallacious but his conclusion is correct - Far Cry 2 is a terrible, terrible game. I actually quite enjoyed Far Cry and Crysis though, YMMV.

I worked as a game reviewer, Far Cry was actually one of the games that started making me jaded because we were basically forced to rate it well so that we would keep being supplied review material.

I never touched Crysis, but perhaps I should. I heard much better reviews, but never heard anyone who didn't play Far Cry say it was a great game which is why I avoided it like a plagued corpse.
