Well I finished it tonight. And I must say while it was fun it could of been a whole lot better. Both the endings are pretty lame, you get to choose between the two. I won't spoil them for you, but I will say one thing. You can't go back and play again to get all the diamonds, safe houses, and guard posts. So make sure you get all of them before you finish the game. I guess I might as well play some Fallout 3.

far cry 2 just keeps getting more and more frustrating.  First, it likes to crash and go straight to the desktop.  No error, just poof, gone.  Game is fully up to date.  Drivers are fully up to date.

If you use a gun turret and you've remapped your 'use' key to another key, it won't let you exit the turret anymore.  I died way too many times until I figured out the original use key 'E' would still let you exit the turret.

Also, i'm having a hard time keeping up with the quests.  A guy gives me a quest to take out a convoy.  OK, I go and take out the convoy.  But, then i can't figure out how to get back to the guy to be rewarded.  Sigh.  I guess i should have a piece of paper to write down locations of places when i get a quest so i can find my way back.  Oblivion really spoiled me in this regard.

One really funny thing did happen today in between crashes.  I was traveling down a road in a jeep with a mounted gun.  I see a guy in a car driving towards me.  Thinking he will auto-attack just like all the other mindless NPCs in the game, i switch to the mounted gun to shoot him.  Instead of raming me, he stops, turns around, and starts driving away from me.  I chase him for a while for the fun of it.  He then goes all suicidal and drives his car off a small hill into a pond.  He gets out of his car while in the water, and then drowns.  WTF?  pretty funny, i thought.

No clue how much time i've lost from the latest crash and how far back the previous save was.  But i'm too annoyed to find out for now.
