They should add in hostile birds, like the flying type so sometimes dudes gets they eyes pecked out. In fact there should be a crocodile style button mash attack where if you fail you can lose one of two non-regenable eyes.

The least they could've done was add in more coop-players. Really wanted to pick this up until the point I heard it only allows two coop players, but since it's basically FC3 with a different skin.. I'm not sure.

An E3 or two ago or some other game conference there was talk of playing as bad dudes. You and your friends save some cops from baddies and in exchange, they give you the door code to the armory. The host was all "Now you could shoot them once you're inside, but come on who'd do that?"

The more I see, the less I feel like it's going to be worth $60, but will still be an enjoyable experience to pick up and play for short bursts between other things. I don't mind giving Ubi $10 somewhere down the road, though.

Yeah the elephant stuff sounds like it'll be great fun for all of about 30 minutes and that's literally the only reason I'm considering getting it at all. Definitely a steam sale title after they release the inevitable Ubi GOLD EDITION with whatever lame dlc they're no doubt planning to release.

Haha. There's lakes with Goliath African Tigerfish in them.



And the elephants are gonna own so much. It was always pretty funny to lure a tiger or something into an outpost, or to have one pop out of nowhere in the middle of a firefight, but the elephants are a whole new level. Seen a couple clips of them popping out of the trees and loving up everything in sight. It's hilarious. Can't wait for the first time I stop a vehicle in the middle of nowhere to engage people in a car chasing me, and then having some giant fuckoff elephant run over and start flipping our cars and stomping on people. Guess it will be wise to have an RPG on you. Plus you can ride them. :swoon:

Oh man. I'm avoiding the hype but hearing all this stuff about elephants worried me. I did a little bit of reading on them recently on how social they are, and the super sweet things they do.

If I end up getting attached to one in-game, and then it gets shot too much, I might end up crying from an unscripted event. :smith:

This reminds me of how they made sure that the mūmakil in Return of the King didn't act too much like real elephants precisely so people wouldn't feel sorry/bad for them when they died. If the elephants in FC4 are very elephant-y, I'm not sure how to feel about it either.

But, hell, I'll probably grab it at some point anyway because Arsehole Animal Simulator is too good to pass up. Shadow of Mordor featured a little of it recently, but it didn't feature panicked gunfire or enemies accidentally setting their base on fire with molotovs while getting mauled to death, so Far Cry still reigns supreme in this respect.

I know that mortars are back in in FC4, but do we know if they are they mobile (a la FC2) or fixed (like a heavy machine gun emplacement)?

God drat it. What good is a mortar if you're not creeping through the woods in the middle of the night just to get into a perfect position so you can rain hellfire and brimstone down on some unsuspecting innocents outpost? Now it's just gonna be like, "Oh hey, there's that jackass firing mortars from the mortar spot again. gently caress that guy."

EDIT: Wonder if there will be mortar positions fixed to fire on other mortar positions. Counter-mortarfire positions, as it were.
