God I love popping my head in here, thanks for the tip.

My only issue is I really like Steam for the convenience, I'll inevitably wind up buying a second copy on steam because I share that account around my flat and have very poor impuse control when it hits tenbux - which leaves the option of gifting.

... Any goons want to make :10bux: ?

Fake edit: I know I'm still paying $100 USD but I really hate the whole price gouging thing on digital distribution and am willing to give internet strangers money just to spite them.

EDIT EDIT: still not 100% if I want to get this or not given Ubi's recent track record.

Don't scare me like this. I know I shouldn't be giving Ubi any pre-order money but I really loved (the gameplay of) Far Cry 3 so much, that even hearing "More FC3"/"FC3.5" is happily letting me throw an annual installment of more things to shoot at.

I'm guessing you'll plunge your knife down, move it sideways then pull a clump of organic matter out of your rear end and stuff it into a bag, probably while making a disapproving noise.

I wish the main character, upon slaying a particularly large and dangerous specimen did a quick ritual dance while painting himself in the blood of his fallen prey before climaxing loudly and proudly while skinning the animal, preferably in guttural Urdu, thus confirming his status and sexual prowess.

That would be some ace immersion.

You cut from its shoulder to its chin/ear area. I'm not sure you actually get skins from elephants, but you do get 2 bait.

I wish that when you skinned an animal it played a pleasant musical sting and then your character lifted it over his head and shouted "alright!"

Edit: I would also accept "Yeah!" "Let's go!" and "Nice work!"

Some say that humans are animals, the most dangerous ones, in fact. So it should take, like, 2 human pelts to make something sweet.

From the videos I've seen he doesn't seem to be enthused about killing dudes and isn't about saving the locals with the power of deep dicking their priestess, but he's out of his element as much as Jason was.

Of course it all remains to be seen. However a nice change is killing animals cleanly (so far I've seen it done with the bow and knife) nets two skins plus a bait, and there are also a hell of a lot more women around. And they actually do stuff!

Also some gameplay footage I saw earlier nearly had you dying via bees :haw:

If FC3 was about Jason changing from trust fund college douche to killing machine, then maybe they shoulda made it so that he stops going all "gross" after a certain point.

edit: I mean there are people in this world whose jobs is skinning sheep testicles. They get paid to do just that for about 2 months a year, they don't get all grossed out every time they do it and I'm sure most of them haven't purposefully injured or killed a person. Somehow Jason manages to have thinner skin than these people.

Completely separate game protagonist and kickass cowboy outlaw :clint: John Marston :clint: never tired of telling animal corpses how much they stank, from armadillos to bears. It's part of being one with nature...and flaying its skin from its bones.

I do appreciate that it's hard to write a player character who changes over the course of the game, yet still has to say a bunch of lines that are related to things the player can do in any order. Still...come on, just having a "early game" and "late game" voice set for stuff like skinning animals would have meant almost everything.

You should be able to skin, say, 10 enemies, and make a skin out of them that you can wear that enables you to get closer to opponents before they realize who you are.

Truth be told, if I could just cobble together some sort of Man-Beast suit, I'd be happy. Head of an elephant, body of a tiger, a black person's hands, a white person's feet, bird wings, and a belt made of monkey heads.

I *think* I saw somewhere that suggested this feature would be included in the game, sooooooo *fingers crossed*

Sorry, guy.
So FC4 has mostly been sunshine and roses, in it's pre-release buzz. (Night and day difference from Unity.)

But it's been reported that The custom maps you can make can't be used for Competitive Multi.

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
Well that's 1 out of 3 games that didn't crash and burn completely on launch, well done Ubisoft. Now let's see if you can make it 2 out of 4 with The Division.
After Unity and Watch_Dogs' abysmal reception, something tells me Division will be delayed. Bad publicity stung EA enough to delay Hardline into next year after all.
