Sgt. Cosgrove posted:So what are the best perks to get first? Grapple and parachute are obvious since they’re only 1 point a pop but after those I got another weapon slot, which also seems mandatory. Should I go for more health next or just grind out the last weapon slot before that? The “ more money for skins and stuff” also seems like something you want ASAP. Grapple, Parachute, Wingsuit, Extra Holster. After that I'd get the ones that make you gather 2x from animals, and fishing one. You can use those to get more perks + make a bunch of money to buy new toys. Also I want to buy a beer for whoever writes these things:

warburg posted:Also, I definitely agree that they need to nerf the respawn rate of enemies in cars and the roadside prisoner events. Its pretty much non-stop. I'm sure some people like it this way, but I actually like some quiet moments in my open world games so the constant enemy spawns are a bit annoying. They don't ruin the game or anything like that, I just find them slightly overkill.

Knifegrab posted:Are rifles/handguns hitscan or projectile? I really cannot figure it out (there is a tracer but no idea if that is cosmetic or actually indicative of ballistics) They're projectile but they move realistically fast so they're pretty much hitscan until you're a few hundred meters away. No bullet penetration that I've seen so far, which is really starting to take me out of games a bit now. Let me shoot through thin walls for fucks sake! They spend so much time and effort making games look more real that they may as well make the guns behave somewhat more real as well. Doc Morbid posted:I wonder if Ubi thought "welp, the players will be bored if they don't get to shoot something every five seconds" and made sure we'd constantly have something to kill. If they'd just set it so that the enemies don't attack me unless I shoot them first or I stop and let them look at me for a long time it would be alright. I mean I'm zooming by them at 40 miles an hour they shouldn't a single drat clue who I am.

I think there's a fairly broad consensus that the respawn rate needs to be toned down about 20% or so, though finding that balance can be tricky. Thankfully this is something that can (likely) be adjusted via a patch tho.

Tumble posted:I mean I'm zooming by them at 40 miles an hour they shouldn't a single drat clue who I am. also, having a ton of troops come at you made sense in a game like 4 where you are literally fighting against an army in the middle of a civil war, but having even more people coming at you that all belong to some fringe cult in Montana is kind of ridiculous even for these games, like the spawn rate feels less like fighting a rural cult and more like fighting a massive army of twenty thousand hobos who have a strong industrial base of truck manufacturing plants

That's like 4 different haircuts. I live in Chicago, I see shitloads of men with short on sides long on top haircuts everyday on my train. I assure you they are not nazis. I'm sort of missing the ability to craft medkits. With enemies that have super laser accuracy I feel like I'm constantly wounded and hiding.

I'm okay with these spawn rates and i will miss them when they're gone. Also, in case someone mods this game in the future: later sights would be a cool thing to have. Enemies have then and I'm jealous. Immediately, i can see a utility in making it easier for some weapons to land shots when hip firing, especially pistols. (I love the 1911 but when SHTF, i can take out like 4+dudes with my kitted out SMG-11, as opposed to two, maybe three kills with any pistol, per mag.  )

known nazi Macklemore I'm sure it wouldn't be this simple but I kind of wish if they do fix the spawn rate for enemies that they include an option for it. I generally would prefer the game to have a little less going on than it does, but it would be fun to have the option to turn it back up if I wanted to just watch a bunch of pickup trucks blaring hymns smash into each other while my dog just kind of wanders around the carnage

I got the upgrade that lets you carry more melee weapons. I've since cleared several outposts just by impaling cultists on a shovel. It's a little dumb that 2 magazines of bullets won't faze an armored guy, but chucking 2 shovels at them absolutely destroys them.

I bought an attack helicopter but I got in on the wrong side like an idiot. I was getting out and she got in the pilot seat and took off. I then entered the store again and had my helicopter delivered again. Together we hosed everything up. Even when I got on the ground, she gave me air support

I didn't hire her again. I'm tempted to hire her and the plane guy at once cause I'm almost 100% certain that they'd constantly be colliding in midair and providing the world's best distraction while I dismantle the cult unhindered.

Getright downlo posted:To me the most annoying part of the capture teams is that you cannot win. They'll just keep coming and if you get hit once you're knocked out. It wouldn't be as bad if they were occasional open world events that you could escape or defeat. Yeah I fought balls out in the first one. When I realized it was unbeatable I stopped trying. The formula is totally flawed and my biggest gripe with the game. I've come to expect the "Far Cry protagonist is forced to walk into obvious traps" but they didn't even try to camouflage the rails on it.

So I VPN'ed to NZ to play the game early . Now the release has passed I figured I wouldn't need to do that anymore but each time I try to start the game in UPlay it says 'Game not found' or something. I've told it the correct directory multiple times and run the 'verify game files' thing but it just won't start. Open the VPN back up and the game starts fine. What gives?

^^^ You didn't actually buy it through the VPN, did you? That would explain that. You should only ever unlock early through VPNs, not buy because it can be used to circumvent regional pricing. If so, you've probably violated the UPlay TOS and should contact support and explain what was going on cause they may be lovely and sanction you in some way.Klisejo posted:Yeah I fought balls out in the first one.

I've come to expect the "Far Cry protagonist is forced to walk into obvious traps" but they didn't even try to camouflage the rails on it. And it happens countless times. Given the fact that all of this poo poo seems to take place in areas outside the main map, it seems obvious that the story/map were created by completely separate teams with not nearly enough communication back and forth. I mentioned it before, but the map and environment are superb in this game and it's poo poo that they decided to tell he story in a lazy, make-believe place. Still, I love fishing. And killing people with bullets to the head. And, regrettably, having my crotch mauled by wolverines. Don't kink shame. Mr Scumbag fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Mar 28, 2018 |

Probably way behind, but I wanted to chime in that I'm running this game at high settings with a i5 2500k OC'd to 4.2ghz and a 970. It runs incredibly smooth and I've had no noticeable frame rate drops. They did a really good job optimizing this game.
