I definitely thought Shangri-La went on too long. Like it was five parts but really should have been more around 3. 4 is kind of pointless since it doesn't really introduce anything new and 5 is just a boss fight that could have been tacked on to an earlier one.

I like that this game is really generous about unlocks and achievements for the various activities. Apart from the campaign and outposts you really don't have to 100% activities or collectables to get the best rewards so if you don't like doing something you don't have to spend much time on it. I hope that becomes more of a standard in their future games. I'm still traumatized from getting the drinking game trophy in Watch Dogs.

BaconPigbutt posted:I tried this, and it seems to have helped with the mouse acceleration issues: If you have an nVidia card, going to the nVidia Control Panel -> Manage 3D Settings and setting "Maximum Pre-Rendered Frames" to 1 or higher made an enormous difference for me (not sure what the ATI equivalent is). This setting was actually in the in-game options for Far Cry 3, not sure why they took it out for 4.

The double-barrel shotgun is hilariously awesome. Those two shots will destroy anything and everything in front of you at close range. I love it. I also really like the echo that the Robocop gun has. A nice callback to the film where it was the loudest gun on the firing range.

Every champion after the first two are complete wastes of time. 90% of the time they target my guys just coming out of the gate and kills them instantly. Actually, the whole App is a waste of time and it's a shame a gun is linked to that piece of poo poo.

Man I am bummed, spent a few hours in an xbox party with a friend trying to help walk him through the campaign to open the second half of the map before he bailed, invited two pubbies (first quit within 20-30 seconds, seemed like he was trying to quickmatch-join someone he knew by the way he reacted and immediately left) and the second had no mic until the second or third mission I went on, at which point he was like "bro you wanna go full stealth? gently caress yeah let's take down everything without a noise!" We played for an hour or two then xbox poo poo the bed and I can no longer play anything on my xbox. Can't even remember his gamertag so I an't apologize.

I've been running around rocking the shredder and I think I am in love. Also, weird thought. Maybe the eagles are a social meta commentary on the US foreign relation policies? Brown people are minding their own business and doing their own poo poo and suddenly FREEDOM OUT OF NOWHERE that ends up with most of them dead and a shitload of ammo wasted.

I am trying to unlock the skill that you get access to after two undetected outpost liberations. On the first one I tried, I was never seen by any enemies, but I think the last one saw a dead body or saw someone get killed or something right before I put a bolt in his noggin. It said that I did it with no alarms, but on the skills page it still says I have not liberated any outposts undetected. Do you have to kill everyone without them ever seeing anything for it to count, or did I find a bug?

Do you have to kill everyone without them ever seeing anything for it to count, or did I find a bug? "No Alarms" is a different condition than "Undetected". No alarms literally means no one got to set off an alarm to call reinforcements. They could have seen you plain as day but as long as you killed everyone before they could hit the alarm (including disabling the alarms yourself before killing everyone) you would get the "no alarm" bonus. "Undetected" means the white detection bar on your stealth never becomes full for any soldier. When it becomes full the game makes that high pitched alarm sound so you know your stealth is blown and you won't get credit for "undetected" because someone detected you.

Undetected means that the detection meter (the directional white arrows) can't ever fill up. The first outpost is easy, since everyone's outside.

They never detect you, or question why it's raining grenades.

Ragingsheep posted:Or just throw bait and let animals do your dirty work. This is the answer. Do it on one of the first few outposts and 2-3 baits will clear it out. You will know you did it when you kill the last guy and see 'undetected' written on the screen. It's not hard. If you get seen let them kill you and try again.

Alright, the .700 is pretty great. Now bring on them graboids.  Those total stealth missions are kind of annoying when they have those stupid molotov wearing fools that explode into flames when they die. Kind of screws things up. But that aside, it was pretty tense sneaking through the place, killing and avoid patrols - it was fun. I had to restart a few times because of said molotov guy, a couple of glitchy take-downs (I'm behind the guy but no prompt because he's at the bottom of the stairs or some such nonsense) and meleeing a guy's butt instead of picking him up. They really need to find better ways of picking dudes up instead of putting the contetxt sensitive action meant for stealth on the alert everyone to your presence button.

It said that I did it with no alarms, but on the skills page it still says I have not liberated any outposts undetected. Do you have to kill everyone without them ever seeing anything for it to count, or did I find a bug? Easiest way I've found to CONSISTENTLY do no-detection (and usually no-alarm) runs on outpost is to zoom in with your camera and spto as many folks as you can (doesn't matter really) and then call in a Golden Path Merc onto the point your camera is on, I think it takes a SECOND tap of the same button to make them go to the point you're looking at rather than showing up ten feet away from you.. And then when the merc shows up, toss bait toward the opposing end of the area. Maybe snipe a couple alarm posts and easy kills in the meantime before MISSION COMPLETE appears. If your bait pulls a wolf, you might need a couple pieces of bait after each wolf/dhole dies, unless they get lucky because canines suck shite without a full pack.. Figure out guard dogs on your own because they're a one-trick pony, despite being way way too sketchy about reliably knowing if they can sense you - just lure and kill them ASAP. Between a couple of grenades/a merc and a bait or two, you can easily take down any outpost or fortress (which doesn't have hunters hanging around - just kill them with throwing knives and then do the same thing you'd otherwise do to deal with the rest), the main thing is to not sit still for more than 5-10 seconds at a time and to know where your avenues of "stealth" are when you move away from safety and toward another area where the enemy won't search for you. Basically once you start dropping bodies, you should be acting as if you've been spotted and circling to the next area for the next clean shot after one or two - you can miss a kill shot and move away, but it's usually tougher to get a second shot on a winged and suspicious enemy until you've reconnoitered to another spot. You can allow a body to be discovered and you can allow the alrms to be sounded, but you cannot afford to stay in the same bush once you hear these things occuring - move to another spot 20-40 yards away and then pick off the easy stragglers until there's no real threat left, and then just sneak up or frag or throw bait at them. Most of the time you can clear small outposts in a couple minutes without folks searching for you, but you always should be assuming that they can and will turn and spot you so stay in the bushes and keep moving around the edges. After you've gotten a couple of no-detect runs, it will feel a lot more natural and you can just kill half the folks, distract the rest, and then go in balls-out and shoot the rest in the back of the head with a silenced *anything* before they hear you coming in hot... Pretend it's a Hostage Mission and once you notice someone got alerted, IMMEDIATELY change your strat (and you should already know how you'd approach in any case) and bum-rush in shooting out alarms and people with whatever (preferably but not necessary) silenced weapon as fast as possible. This is good to practise in co-op since people will gently caress up on stuff like fortresses and then rush in hot and kill everybody by laying down LMG fire over the lone remaining alarm console while everyone rushes toward it, etc.) coyo7e fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Dec 2, 2014 |

I managed to get De Pleur out of the City of Pain completely steathily, but it seems like the game assumes this can't happen. The whole way out there were audio cues like they were meant to happen during a pitched battle, but I'm just sauntering out as guards go about their business.

lol gently caress off multiplayer. The idea was interesting too. Borderline impossible to interact with anything too if you're lagging. I'm getting hordes of bears thrown at me as I'm futility trying to plant a bomb. I couldn't of been lagging that much either, it's not like I wasn't able to shoot dudes. I was downing guys in 3-5 body shots with the MS16 rifle but interacting with something? No sir, use the thing four times nope still not planting the bomb or curb stomping.
