The country is going to be terrible no matter what you choose, so it's all a matter of what kind of awfulness you can deal with.

I'm still playing thru the game, but I'm choosing Amita over Sabal. I didn't like the idea of a theocracy complete with child brides and public executions. Sure, child soldiers is barely better (if at all), but Amita at least wants to move some things forward instead of moving all things backwards. An economy based on drugs doesn't bother me as much as the alternative.

Really, if they would have expanded on the secret 15-minutes-into-the-game ending, so you actually get to do things with Pagan, then it would be the obvious choice.

There was some talk way back in the thread about "what kind of environment should the next Far Cry take place in". Desert seems like an obvious choice, but I think we should consider a different type of third-world hell hole: urban.

Give us a fake Brazil, with some jungle around the edges, but mostly focused in a maze-like favela slum-city. Houses stacked on top of other houses, with lots of jumping through windows and ziplining along laundry lines.

My reactions to the beginning were like, oh cool I can choose between Evil guy and "good" guy (standard video game choice). I was all excited to chose Evil guy because of his poor, poor shoes, but then I saw the info screen of only being able to chose between the two Golden Path path douchebags and didn't want to believe it. I mean come on, you can't side with the evil dictator?

And I think I said it before, you end the game as The owner of kyrat and yet you're still some lowly grunt with no power and you can't even murder some one come on I want to blow up Utkarsh.

Sabal wants to marry Bhadra, Anita says in a cutscene, and the temple guy also wants 5 sons with her.


Anyways the goons who recommended me FC3 thank you, playing it right now, this game is awesome.

So I finally got around to trying this after playing Bloodborne for a month straight, and it seemed pretty cool. However, after watching the opening cutscene where the guy says "wait right here", I figured "oh hey I bet there's a funny easter egg if you actually sit and wait for him to come back". So I get up, do some poo poo, and come back when I hear another cutscene start up. I watch it, place the ashes on the table, leave, and then the loving credits start rolling? Did I accidentally find some kind of weird secret or activate some sort of attract mode thing for waiting too long? :confused:

Well, I figured as much. Seems a little funny that you actually have to specifically go out of your way to NOT instantly win the game. At least my hunch was right, although I was expecting like, a funny quip or maybe a secret gun or something, not... the credits :v:

Pillbug
Finished the game this weekend. Thought it was pretty fun for the most part, but god, I had some serious problems on the PC-- corrupted saves (which were fine after I reinstalled the game, thank gently caress), frequent crashes-- I rage-deleted the game after it crashed 9/10ths of the way through the mission to kidnap Paul. The save system loving sucks-- checkpoints are meaningless, and even saving didn't seem to work consistantly. I had to do the first Hurk mission twice because it didn't save when I quit after doing it the first time. I understand not wanting people to save-scum and everything, but come on. Also, the missions where outposts would be invaded by the royal army were kind of bullshit. Nothing like fast travelling to get close to your destination, getting a ways outside of the outpost and then having to hoof it back there.

I ended up siding with Amita, because gently caress Sabal for being down with child brides. I killed Pagan at the end, and then felt bad about it after I watched the alternate endings-- sure, he was a mass-murdering lunatic, but Amita and Sabal were sort of lovely too. It did feel like the most tonally appropriate ending, though.

Unless you grind for it and get it early (don't do this unless you want easy mode), it can be a satisfying late-game reward for all the times you got cheap-shotted, changing you from sneaky, stealthy Rambo into Aah-nuld in Commando. I definitely don't recommend beelining for it if you care about silly things like "balance" and "challenge"

This is the best way to play. Anyone who hasn't eyeballed a 60+ yard bow headshot or trapped the hell out of an outpost and cleared it with a single buttonpress hasn't lived.

My advice? Try to avoid making it too easy for yourself which is really easy to do. Don't take the grenade launcher as a side arm since it trivializes a lot of stuff. Try to challenge yourself by taking out outposts with just takedowns. I found the game a lot more engaging when I didn't try to make things as easy as possible for myself.

Just one question, though. Is there a way to take off my pants?
Did anyone else think that Paul's character wasn't fully fleshed out enough? I found the idea of an American ex-pat intelligence worker living in Kyrat but still in touch with his family really compelling.

Also is there any update on the potential of a Blood Dragon 2 or Far Cry 4 spin-off yet?

Or do the opposite by only engaging loud. Roll up in a car, let the reinforcements arrive, and see how many you can take down from in your vehicle with the grenade launcher without getting out.

Both this and the "go loud, go loud as gently caress" option are fun in their own right but there's something deeply satisfying about getting a no detections/no alarms clear that gunning down hordes of guys doesn't provide.

Also I recommend switching up your loadout regularly and trying gimmick loadouts because it's all too easy to fall into a rut with the same four weapons and never touch a good 90% of the armory.

I played on the PC, but always held the walk backwards key to slow down. Should be back on the left stick, I'd imagine. Sometimes if I didn't, I'd just die or take a lot of damage.

I've never had a problem with it on the PS4 and like swinging around like a doof. Just don't slam yourself into the ground rappelling full speed then detach - slow down first and rappel to the ground.

I'm pretty sure Ajay has the ankle bones of a bird, though.

I've been making sure I'm on the ground now before trying to get off it and that seems to have stopped the dying.
