If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

If you look off to the east on the map you have exposed, there's one road that runs east into the fog. That goes over a bridge. The bridge is controlled by the royal army, so if you attempt to cross it, you'll get blown the gently caress up. After a certain mission, you can cross, and then there's another 7 or 8 bell towers worth of land out that way.

Whoever said you could just shotgun+sidestep Rhinos was hilariously full of poo poo. :)

Nope I harvested all my rhino skins doing it that way, and I'm playing on PS4 on hard AND I am shithouse at shooters with a controller.

You don't actually strafe to sidestep when they charge, you have to turn 90 degrees and sprint a few steps to be fast enough to get out of the way. The other thing you can do is play ring around the rosie with them using a tree.

Another protip with animal skins, find a good predator spot (the tiger den is a great one that seems to spawn everything) and just continually throw bait and shoot whatever shows up.

Hopefully we'll get that within the next few years. The division and games like that seem to be experimenting with it. Once that technology is down, there'll be some pretty ridiculous MMO's coming out. Most of the games like DayZ that can do it well now sacrifice a lot in other ways.

Incidentally I said nothing about having sex with the animals although they may try to rape you at some point. Maybe the honey badger high priest teaches you the ways of the animal via some potent snake venom drink and you wake up and its sodomizing you.

Does anyone know when the first checkpoint in the game is? I went through the initial cutscenes and after pagan walked away I saved and quit, but now I only have the option to start a new game. Did I just quit too early?

After you go into the basement and out of the building. Saves then, because that's when you can first die.

Who's the loving moron that decided checkpoints save, not after completing a mission successfully, but afterwards?? Like seriously, you have to be braindead.

I'm a good guy (and money) so I of course immediately drop the guard with a .50 rifle, start walking up to the prisoner to release him.... right as a pack of wolves crests the hill from the other side and murders the gently caress out of him.

huh this game is pretty good I'm having a hard time stopping playing it. I particularly appreciate that there are TWO kinds of tripping in this game: there's like regular acid tripping while wondering around the countryside with swanky music, and a more ketamine/mescaline kinda trip where you're not even on the planet anymore. Dudes know what's up.

The Farcry games should have a multiplayer deathmatch Battle Royale / Hunger Games mode. It would fit SO WELL!

Spawn players in random locations on a HUGE open world setting with random weapons, with other weapons scattered around. Last man standing wins. Losers spectate.

That would turn into players finding a cave or other hiding spot and waiting for other people to kill themselves off.

Which is why Battle Royale has rules that if you stay still for too long, your collar blows up and you die. (Well, it involved map zones, but same difference)

I don't know how Hunger Games works but I assume they thought of something for that.

Combine that with like a game-y mechanic where you do more damage for each kill you've gotten or something like that and boom, solid new game mode.
Or just make it so that resources are REALLY important like DayZ or something, and then of course when you kill somebody you get all their resources.

Also you have bears and poo poo to track players who are avoiding conflict. And then other players could hear the bear/tiger/whatever and go hunt that player down.

Maybe even add a new drug you can make with plants that lets you track players by their scent or something, so you'd have to keep moving to keep other players off your trail.

gently caress, running around collecting plants, shanking animals and looking for other players sounds great.

I don't know why games that want to use references to real world situations write that stuff at the beginning of the process. Write your game script, but put "And then the DJ says [insert timely reference]", and then come back to it 3 years later just before release. Insert whatever the latest thing is, bring back the voice-actor for a pickup, and then master it.

Just started playing on PS4. Is there any chance at all they'll patch in the ability to turn off the quest markers? You seem to be able to turn off every bit of the HUD except the giant A and S and arrows pointing to them that are on your screen at all times. Is the minimap not enough Ubisoft! I can find the quests! Other than that it's fun to kill a man or animal. I flew a hang glider into a tiny bird and died instantly 10/10.

In Jagged Alliance 2, you could order items in-game and have them delivered to an airport you controlled. The problem was that the shipping-and-receiving clerk was a thief who would occasionally steal parts of your shipments. So you'd likely choose to kill him--at least the first time--only to later find out that he's replaced with somebody significantly worse than him.

What I'm saying is that you should be able to kill that man, if only to have him replaced with somebody ten times worse.

Easy way to get what? Wolf pelts? You go kill wolves. If you kill them with a bow or knife you get 2 pelts per wolf. Guns give you 1.
Look on your map for where there's wolf symbols and that's where you'll find them.

No you can have 3 good weapons plus a sidearm. You have to craft better holsters though. At first its one plus sidearm, but you can get to two very quickly.

He's been doing the same bit about masks and how his serial killer mark would be to poop on his victims, nonstop, over and over and over again, for hours in my game. SHUT THE gently caress UP. It's cool though he is cancelled out by the awesome, chipper "auh-jay m'boy!" calls you get from psycho daddy dearest.
