Butterfly Valley posted:Too easy I played for a few hours today and I agree completely. The lack of challenge really brings the game down. I liked the introduction scene in the slave camp and I was expecting to start the game with a low level of ability due to the protagonists lack of experience, but as soon as he gets the magic tattoo he is the golden god of firearms able to operate anything with an absurd mastery. Where does the game go from here if I am so powerful at the beginning? And there is no reason to fear the army of armed pirates as they all seem to be either short sighted or massively incompetent.

I find it difficult to believe that the Rakyat are great hunters when every predator and half of the prey species on this island have evidently learned to charge directly at the source of any gunfire they hear instead of fleeing in terror. Watching a pissed-off cassowary murder a jeep full of Rakyat armed with AK-47s also makes me doubt their supposed hunting prowess.

Sometimes if I clear an outpost without unleashing any caged animals onsite, I like to jump onto the cage, shoot the front, and test the Rakyat warriors. Normally they all die unless it's dingos or a cassowary, though. Serves them right for talking about how they cleared the outpost all on their own Also it's fun to bean people or animals in the head with rocks  EDIT: Ok, I have to share this story. I planted 6 mines and 3 C4 on the front of a cargo truck. While driving on the road with it, a loving hawk or something swoops down and triggers the mine.

Man, I'm glad I picked this up in the Steam sale. Just did the weed-burning mission, which was a barrel of laughs. The end was the best bit - the boat starts pulling away as you reach it, but there's a rocket launcher there for you. I was already holding C4, though. Throwing it safely onto the back of the boat and waiting until it got to a decent distance before blowing it up was maybe the James Bondest thing I ever did in a videogame.

I 100%'d Red Dead Redemption and watched a Skyrim bear stick its head down a dragon's open, fire-belching mouth only to waddle away afterwards. Rook Island wildlife ain't got poo poo.

Not my work, but by a very cool guy who also used my FC2 tools for modding and has continued with FC3 shenanigans (RaZoR-FIN). Note there's still much work to be done on this, don't expect anything soon. Posted on UPlay forums.

So I've just gotten the game, still in the tutorial part, just activated the first radio tower. When watching a video on youtube, I saw a thing where a mission objective was to kill "the Golden Tiger". I'm all for seeing pirates getting eaten by tigers, and for having to run away from an angry tiger, but I really don't like the idea of hunting one. I have the digital deluxe edition, which comes with all the pre-order DLCs, and reading exactly what that contains... yeah it seems one of them is a mission to kill 5 super-rare dangerous animals. I'm guessing that's the mission in question. Guess I'm going to be avoiding that mission and missing out on whatever the reward is, cause there's no way I'm going to hunt a tiger. Are there any tiger-hunting missions in the normal game? Or is that the only one. Tigers are beautiful, awesome and terrifying all at the same time and very endangered, so the game giving you missions to hunt them seems all kinds of wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVqXomRi1oE

Oh I'm sure I'll have to kill a tiger. Hell I'll probably have to kill 10 of them. Kill or be killed. I was just pretty surprised they have a mission GO KILL A TIGER. What do you get for it?

What do you get for it? Unique animals pop up on hunt missions and they all drop crafting components needed for the final tiers of quivers, wallets, rucksacks, etc. The Golden Tiger's one of the first you can hunt, I personally haven't killed any other uniques yet. And you will be killing many more than 10 tigers. You know how you can tell this is a video game? Because tigers are as far from endangered as you can get in Far Cry 3. I've watched a tiger maul people to death from a safe distance only to get flanked and attacked by another tiger. I have been Clever Girl'd by tigers.

Tigers in this game are not endangered in any way; there is literally an infinite supply of them. Also, I'm not sure whether it's amusing or disturbing that you are really bothered by the notion of hunting virtual tigers in a video game but apparently have no qualms about murdering scores of virtual human beings in the same game.

Tigers are beautiful, awesome and terrifying all at the same time and very endangered, so the game giving you missions to hunt them seems all kinds of wrong. I was just like you when I bought the game. I watched some gameplay of the animals being shot and killed and told myself, "Gross, I don't want to do that. I'll shoot one or two just to craft whatever I need but after that I'll just leave the wildlife alone." Trust me, 30 minutes into the game you will eagerly be gunning down any and all wildlife you come across and gleefully plunging your knife into the still warm corpses. These video game animals are not the beautiful and majestic exotic wildlife of the real world, they are the piece of poo poo leave-me-the-gently caress-alone will-try-to-kill-you-no-matter-how-much-you-try-to-avoid-them wildlife that you will want to kill in the cruelest ways you can think up. Even the dogs sneak up behind you and try to rip your arms off. My preferred method of killing tigers is with landmines. I kill sharks by ramming them with jetskis. I purposely wait for dogs to get close so I can stab them to death, just out of spite. Animals in this game are equivalent to cops in the GTA series.

Other notable ways of killing animals: -rammed a jetski into a dog trying to swim out to me -blew up a couple of sharks with c4 -killed a chicken with an RPG -ran into a deer going 60mph -ran over a komodo dragon -burned a giant tortoise alive with the flamethrower I'm still trying to figure out how I'm gonna kill a manta ray. I've no reason to kill one other than because I want to.

Pharmaskittle posted:Yeah, I'm not very far in (just met Citra) but the storytelling is kind of garbage. I still really enjoy the story missions though because they're great scripted sequences, and I like all of the characters to varying degrees except for the PC himself (although that seems intentional). Yeah, the protagonist and his dipshit friends are just about as unlikable as can be. The best characters I came across were Vaas, Bud, Willis, and Sam. Willis barely gets screen time, but Sam is awesome. Vaas is a letdown only because the way they told the story is lovely. Bud is both an rear end in a top hat and strangely likable.

Aside from the fact that you have to perform rescues with like zero help from them, the two girls I've saved so far don't seem all that bad.Oxxidation posted:I dunno, the enemies in this game are really good at flanking and investigating positions if they get the least inkling of where you're at. If not, yeah, they walk around bumping heads off one another. I've entirely stopped using sniper rifles for anything but hunting animals, because it just makes taking camps way too easy. Stealth around, then eventually get caught and flip the switch to rock n' roll.

I have a shotgun for upclose and personal, a silenced assault rifle with small scope for medium targets, and an UNsilenced sniper rifle with the biggest scope. 4th slot normally is bow, and the knife slot is the Tanto. That thing loving owns. Even on a non takedown, it one hit kills normal pirates, and a quick sprint dash into the face of a heavy, 2 or 3 slashes and he's down.

I've been trying to keep shotguns relevant but now I'll get to free up a slot since I can take down a bear with 6 magnum rounds  Edit: I don't think I'd ever do anything as silly as put (not-night) sights on a shotgun that wasn't shooting slugs. That's just a personal choice

The Spas 12 eclipses it once unlocked though; an auto shotty with a tighter spread, longer range and the ability to mount your choice of sights instead of being saddled with that ridiculous diamond reticule makes it sooo much better

I thought the game was really easy in the beginning too,but later on you get Molotov guys. You realize how fragile you are when you can't hide in cover,though I always forget to buy body armor so maybe that's it.

Molotov guys are really fun to shoot once in the chest and watch as they run around setting everything on fire right up to the point you realize that they choose to run straight towards you and give you a hug. While on fire.
