Just beat FC3 with ziggys mod for the first time. I'm thinking about playing through FC2 next, is there anything like a Ziggys mod for that?

Though obviously they can't just do the same thing again, it would have to be a different concept/aesthetic. Like a high fantasy version of the game or something. I don't think so. The season pass offering thing has a list of DLC that you'll get later, and all of them are related to FC4. Although the escape from Durgesh prison will probably be amazing, because Durgesh prison was probably the most fun in the entire game.

Inspector_666 posted:Make an Arma-like in Dunia... The real problem with doing this is vanishing bullet syndrome. They designed FC3's map around not being able to shoot for more than 250 meters usually but in this one you can definitely be scoped in on a guy 450 meters away with a sniper rifle and not have it do poo poo because the bullet despawns after 300. Aside from snipers its also noticeable in SMGs.

Got a solid 20 hours out of it and had a lot of fun loving around, but I think I might have to trade it in or sell it because I can't see myself playing it more. I'm like 20 hours in and I've done maybe half the campaign missions. I always set out to do a mission and then maybe get to it like 2 hours later.

I just came across a game breaking bug in one of the Longinus missions. It keeps saying I failed and then loads up again, can't fast travel or quit the mission. It just loops endlessly. It loads, says I failed about 5 seconds later, then fades to black and loads again. Anyone else seen this? I found some posts on ubisofts forum, no solutions of course. It seems to happen on pc and ps4. I had all the towers and outposts done, 49% complete and now I'm hosed. Thanks ubisoft. http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/959672-Final-Longinus-Mission-Loop-Game-Breaking-Bug-Forums Seriously look at this poo poo. Not my video but that's the bug. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTcVHPcf5hc plape tickler fucked around with this message at 11:38 on Dec 5, 2014 |

Hell you could even throw in Cuba and Jamaica for shits and giggles if you wanted to make some smaller island areas off the coast.Speaking of frat boys going to tourist havens, when will Far Cry get wave physics and surfboards? Para-surfing is pretty rad.. Smuggling drugs to the US via home-built submarines and crazy-deathtrap cigarette boats on long midnight odysseys...  Hell you don't even need warlords, you've got the literally the richest man on earth (for several year period at least) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Slim right there in Mexico - do some jobs for him!

They leave the door open because it's a prison on a mountainside, they assume escaping is futile. The cutscene after you jump is just the video game telling you it was a bad trip dream and now you're really waking up, but still tripping.

Is it because the game is hardcore nihilistic and people think that's deep and mature or something? I don't have a reverence for the game at all. Unlike Ddraig I can understand it's a massively flawed game. The thing is though, Far Cry 2 did exactly that. It's the first game that ever listened to the people that said "Only gameplay matters!  " and just made a game about nothing but gameplay. Constant, nonstop, extremely high quality gameplay. You will almost always be in combat, with maybe 4-5 minute lulls, and that combat is fast paced, difficult, and most of all fun. Rather then write big scripted operas about the nature of man or some poo poo, they made something like 40-50 big sandbox locations that all vary greatly in tone/verticality/ways you can attack them.And I'm not talking about the outposts, but the actual mission zones, which all respawn after you leave, for you to come attack again later. This is on top of the wide vary of weapons, all of which are useful. It's not a perfect game, but it's the answer to his question. What happens if they just rip out the story. Well then people get really pissy because they don't have enough motivation to shoot a whole bunch of outposts.

Rookersh posted:Far Cry 2 stuff Hit the nail on the head there. I've found it difficult to describe what exactly I liked so much about FC2 and that's it, it's the unrelenting pressure you're under just making your way through the world. It's a very different feeling to 3 and 4, less escapism and more just survival. Where as I can sit down with FC4 and blow poo poo up for an hour or so and have a great time, fun is hard to find in FC2 unless you're working towards a goal. It's too dangerous and stressful just to drive about gunning things down. Bold Robot posted:Just started playing this. The mouse controls feel super clunky and not smooth. Anyone else experienced this? I've tried playing with mouse sensitivity and acceleration and they don't seem to help much. Followed a bunch of supposed fixes online, nothing really worked for me. Modifying the "GamerProfile.xml" located in My Games/Far Cry 4, lines "Smoothness="1"" and "Smoothness_Ironsight="1"" and changing them "1"s to "0" made a slight improvement but it never felt "right". It's not a very precise, fast and challenging game so the mouse feel didn't bother me too much, it's certainly disappointing though. Dropping V-SYNC, reducing frame render ahead settings in the driver and getting to a point where I had a stable framerate made the biggest improvement in the mouse controls. masterpine fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Dec 5, 2014 |

A Far Cry game set South America game would be great, I just mean it would have to be a more specific region like the Andes or a country like Peru. As I mentioned, I always thought Far Cry 3 was about a distilled version of a kind of broad-ish swatch of areas and cultures. Why not make not-mexico be part of not-South America, which happens to border on not-Peru (funny bowler hat ladies! Guinea Pigs on the bbq! Drinks made of aloe vera!  ) and not-Guatemala (Asylums full of mildly-disabled people abandoned by their families and shot full of tranqs 24/7 while they lie in their own filth!) There's such a broad swatch of stuff to pick and choose from on the continent that it would seem to be pretty easy to pick and choose which parts you want to use on your hidden notes/radio braodcasts/etc.Did I mention that taking hostages is kind of a thing there? I haven't heard of many people in Tibet taking and holding foreigners and/or native people and political figures hostage for ridiculously long periods in hopes of getting a ransom, but it's still happening today, so there's another series of "grinding" missions that'd be easy as hell to write. Was Far Cry 2 in a specific nation? I thought it was just "Africa", just as FC3 was "some anonymous south pacific island." At least the gulf of mexico and the Caribbean have the Bermuda Triangle, and frankly I'd appreciate being able to drop into CA/FL/TX and blow some poo poo up now and then, just because they were a short boat ride or wingsuit-trip away.

The main issue I can think of is that there's not a ton of predators that're big enough to shoot at (although you could always hunt Tasmanian Devils and Tasmanian Tigers). Everyone hates snakes already even though they're a minor annoyance - what if a snake could 1-shot you form full health at max level?

Volkerball posted:Kangaroos, cassowaries, dingos, bears, wolves, etc.  I guess they could be the next honey badger joke. I don't recall hearing about actual bears or wolves on that continent in like, my entire life though.. And I had a teacher in grade school from Australia, who spent every free moment telling us about all the wild and varying stuff you could find there.Baobab trees are cool as gently caress though. And being an Aboriginal protagonist dealing with some kind of problem would be pretty cool - I always dug Aussie aboriginee accents. That reminds me, I think the game needs some like, cowboys. I think riding a horse which could leap some obstacles and maybe rear and back-kick would be fun as gently caress, you could maybe equip a lasso (admit it, it was fun as gently caress in RDR) and horses don't come with radios installed..!

coyo7e posted:Neither is the Texas border but goddamn would it ever be fun to do some minutemen quests and then turn on them and kill them all at the end of the sequence. The Texas/New Mexico/Mexico border regions would indeed be a pretty great setting. I also have thought that would be a good setting for a GTA game (or a sequel to Red Dead Redemption set in modern times) but Far Cry could definitely make it work. Though that area has way more large cities and suburbs and generally built up areas than we have seen in an FC game. So far all of the games have been largely wilderness oriented, with the largest developed areas being small villages. There's nothing at all like, say, El Paso. Would be interesting to see how they tackle that.
