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.

I just think that moving from adobe to shanty town to jungle to inca ruins in a 20 minute run in-game would be a fun game world. I don't know for some reason I thought that series was supposed to be really bad so I've always ignored it

As far as ridiculous settings are concerned, Kyrat really is perfect for conversion into some kind of Lord of the Rings/Game of Thrones parody game. They'd have to redeisgn all the vehicles though which is a bit more work than changing all the colors and adding lizards

Ultimate Mango posted:Exactly where we would want this new game to take place. Perfect. Maybe put the Great Barrier Reef a short walking distance so we can see cool fish and sharks and stuff. Maybe a river through the outback because crocs have to live somewhere to kill you randomly. By no one I literally meant no one, we have 3 people per square km in a country of 23 million people. Those 23 million people live on the coast.

This game is pretty drat fun. It took a little bit for it to click with me, but then thanks to random chance I ended up assaulting a convoy on elephant back and I suddenly got it. I'm playing it on 360, and it's been so long since I've played an FPS on it that I can't aim for poo poo, but I've gotten around that by making liberal use of shotguns and high explosives. Bullseyeing someone with the M79 and seeing them vaporize never stops being satisfying. Eagles are hilarious dickheads, my favorite moment was when I was walking down some back road and a dead pig randomly plummeted from the sky and splatted a few feet in front of me. They do actually make a nice gooey thud sound when they hit the ground. coyo7e posted:Already did dinosaurs. With fricking LAZERS. And Turok has also been done. The one you're thinking of is CoJ: The Cartel, which is just horrible. All of the other Call of Jaurez games are actually good and fun, although the earlier ones are a bit dated. Gunslinger is my favorite by far, because it's essentially Bulletstorm: Rootin' Tootin' Hombre Edition with some really neat story telling mechanics.

Oh apparently that bug I ran into also took away my camera, too. Are there any more missions that require me to take photos of stuff once I unlock the north? If this stops me from finishing the game I am going to be writing a strongly worded missive to Ubisoft.  (Also I unlocked the Buzzsaw last night  )

Going back through the game on hard now and limiting my syringe usage on clearing bases. The game it still up to its old tricks. Look, I enjoy clearing bases with knife take downs only. The game simply will just not let you do that on certain ones. I've had; a guy welding spin like a top when I got within take down range, a tiger spawn on me after I got three of six guys, a wandering ATV dude, guys drastically alter their set walking path, eagle out of fricken no where (no hawk cry or anything just feathers and claws), spotted from across a base by a heavy and the worst, while clearing Defleur's base last night I hid a body behind a building and had it get spotted by a sniper on an opposite wall. It's easy as sin to get an undetected, to do a full knife take down is an entirely different story. Still fun!

Except with Sabal. I killed him since I sided with Amita, then after beating the game and continuing roaming around I did one of the missions where you protect the Golden Path truck. When the truck got to the delivery spot there Sabal came out of a tent My friend and I promptly placed all our C4 at his feet and sent him into a low orbit

Earwicker posted:Is there any hint that there will be a "Blood Dragon" of FC4? I liked that even better than the main game in FC3. 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. No, but there was no hint we were getting Blood Dragon until it was practically done, and lots of people thought it was a joke. Blood Dragon also massively outsold expectations, so we could see another. On the other hand, it still wasn't a huge blockbuster, and Ubisoft make patently stupid business decisions regularly. Rookersh posted:I don't have a reverence for the game at all. Unlike Ddraig I can understand it's a massively flawed game. Yeah, and I'd love a proper sequel to Farcry 2. Like ... Farcry... 3? Nah better change a bunch of poo poo and make it about some peter pan wunderkind white boy killing pirates to save his friends from rape. ( )Just give me newer and bigger environments and let me kill dudes how I want. Farcry is at best a James Bond Sandbox. I want a game like farcry 2 but in a new setting, better graphics, and less insane outposts. (And we can drop the malaria too) Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Dec 5, 2014 |

" 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.

I hit 4 by accident. 3 was way more fun after you beat it and played through with goon mods or dll hacks. FC4 fixes most of the problems with FC3, but yeah I'd love a mod which unlocks all the guns and radio towers from the start, those just really aren't that much fun, especially not after you've done them already. Sorry for the confusion. Hopefully some kind goon will hack farcry 4 soon and do the same thing.

Yeah its tons of fun, and a bit harder than just silenced-sniping everybody from a mile off, or sneaking around shooting everybody full of arrows. Its not that hard though, you just have to think like a spy in TF2. Find the guy in the back who nobody is looking at, and then work your way forwards. The skill that lets you drag bodies after you shank them is super useful, although god drat do you move slow. Were you this slow when you dragged bodies in FC3? I feel like it was a bit faster, but probably not. Its so slow its almost easier to just shank everybody than bother moving corpses around. Farcry isn't that far off from being Hitman really. Oh man it'd be cool if you could dress in badguy uniforms and sneak around like hitman... Volkerball posted:Far Cry is a rambo sandbox. Yeah, you got me there. Really just Action Movie: The game.

Takedown then drag is drat useful, I agree, but yeah you move really slowly. Depending on line of sight and enemy movement sometimes I'll just let him drop, then pick him up because you move faster and can chuck his body over a wall/cliff. Of course if you don't quite have the time and there's a lone guy nearby you can always fall back on the knife throw (or if he's pretty close, the chained takedown). DFAs are fun too, as is silently emerging from a lake, shanking a motherfucker and dragging him into the depths with you. quote:Vehicle takedowns are so loving satisfying Yep, have you hijacked a truck from a gyro yet?

Regarding another Blood Dragon: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/blood-dragon-2-not-happening-says-far-cry-4-dev/1100-6423477/ There was also an interview with the main BD dev, which I can't find, and he more or less said that while the first was just insanely fun to do (and sold beyond anyones expectations), it's almost for certain a one-off, and that he wanted to move on to do other things.

I just opened up the north, and also figured out I can land the buzzer in the radio towers right next to the radio gear. It took me 20 minutes to liberate all the northern towers - it really felt like cheating though, and kind of regret doing so.

Its only there because Ubisoft has such a hard-on for that exact mechanic from every single assassin's creed game. Plus it was in FC3 so in it goes! But they're just not fun. Not at all. Clearing outposts? Super loving fun. Liberating towers? Snooooore. I would install a mod to capture all towers by default if such existed and never look back  Its a chore and nothing else. Does anybody really think "Jump towards the convenient pile of rappelling ropes" counts as a puzzle? Yet another thing FC2 did better.

There's usually something scripted in the towers that's really fun. I still tried to land on them in a bunch of different places, but my buzzer would always fly off, or something awful would happen, so I took to just landing about 100 meters away, then going back to my buzzer after I was done.

Yeah they are boring as hell, not even interesting climbing puzzles the way some of the AC towers can be. Helicopter is the way to go. Plus it can be fun when there is a sniper on the top level and you can take him out with a handgun from your helicopter.

I would enjoy taking all the towers before any outposts though; trekking through enemy territory with only what I can carry in sort of a guerrilla expedition and discovering things on foot before seeing them on the map, as well as surviving encounters without the benefit of quick resupply. Using the buzzer takes that away.
