Like, setting fire to innocent creatures and stabbing a dude and turning him into a booby trap with the grenade takedown is a ok but crick a finger and I'm all like ahhhhhhhhhh

The new one that gets me is the handful of matches into the bullet wound and arrow removal
Arrow removal is also a fun way to find out hunters are nearby

Fun Hints

*you can Wingsuit onto a zip line

*Pistols and smg's have a top range of much less than other weapons; this does not appear to apply to the auto crossbow in my testing or the bow.

*get the garden upgrade for your house soon since hunting syringes now can show enemies as well as animals; likewise you can now use the fireproof syringes when upgraded to shield yourself from gunfire and explosions

*throwing knives have a really straight trajectory and can stand in for a bow most of the time

*elephants can swim in this game and can kill demon fish easily

*you can get the p416 and bizon from Farcry 3 way earlier than you should by picking them up off guards in Hurks missions

*several weapons can be found instead of bought or unlocked with bell towers; I got the sawed off shotgun from a hostage rescue quest in the basement after an NPC offhand told me to check the basement, for example

I set up an ambush for a death convoy by jack knifing a hijacked supply truck and loading it with c4. Then mowed down the survivors with my wicked tricked out machine gun.
This was after I miracle shot the driver out of the truck.
Just after a watched a freed hostage wander into the road and get pulverized by his own guys lol

one of the mission objectives requires you to swim to the bottom of a shallow pond and pick up an item

I had flashbacks to the crocs in 3 and then threw grenades into the water till I killed what turned out to be a demon fish

The .700 nitro sends dudes flying and is really fun to use. I heartily endorse it.

Speaking of .700 Nitro here's me about to shoot an elephant who is swimming with one (it's neat that they actually have double barreled dangerous game rifles in this):



Here's a funny FOV glitch I encountered while playing with Lumpy:



God drat lumpy looks badass riding shotgun in our gyrocopter:



These graphics are with all the textures set to low and stuff since I have an older HD7000 series card and an 8320 CPU.

hunters are pretty much exactly what this game needed, except for the part where they mind control your animal buddies. no ubisoft, no, i am playing this game so that I can watch as nature consumes and destroys everyone in front of me, don't take that away from me

also this game is loving amazing

I've been only using the .700 Nitro consciously instead of the .50 cal and holy poo poo that thing has some interesting properties. It destroys vehicles and heavies easily and has an incredibly quick second shot. Like, instant. It's actually become my weapon of choice for hunting since one shot from it will kill anything in a head shot and two in a body shot. It also penetrates through bodies and some walls. It doesn't mount a proper scope like the .50 but that's also really nice for some hunting or close combat situations.

The .50 cal also goes through some light walls and is just as OP with a silencer as it always was for clearing outposts. Just watch out for Hunters. I've been ambushed a few times while sniping and it sucks to look around and have everything be on fire.

Also if you have 30 Uplay points when you start the game unlock the AJM 9 from Blood Dragon. That thing rocks with a silencer.

Basically the .700 Nitro is the pro no scope sniper rifle that thinks shooting through 4 people (that happened last session) is way cooler than having a silencer and being able to get off an instant second shot when a rhino is charging you is kinda cool too

I feel bad for the console players that don't have stuff like God rays and advanced shadows that they can turn on because it makes the environment amazing.

They don't have to put up with the dumb poo poo we are right now with mouse acceleration though so :shrug:

That kinda looks lovely, yikes.

On my screenshots the textures are all set to their lowest and I'm only using 8 gigs of ram, a 7870 and an fx8320. I get about 50 frames with that. Newegg will be fixing this shortly.

Widestancer you need to get a good video card, and CPU. No one should be rocking the AMD stuff these days.

Yeah it was dirt cheap last year and was meant to hold over until I got a new job which I did. I just never bothered replacing it all.

The game runs smoothly for me but I know some people have had issues. The game loads textures in a silly way so they use a lot more than they should right now. Ubisoft has a 1.4 patch that's coming down the pipe to address the texture streaming.

My brother has his loading from an ssd and that's helped too.

Cool, sometimes you gotta game with what you have. At least Ubi is patching the game, that's good.

Mainly I just don't want to gently caress with doing a motherboard swap in place in the same OS. I'm using the same Win 7 pro install I've had since RC (like, the 30 dollar upgrade from the free RC lol). I should be able to use something like Paragon or Sysprep.exe if I'm not mistaken? Been avoiding it but it's time.

Endgame question:

So I initially didn't shoot Pagan, but after the scene with the ashes he takes off in a helicopter so I got out my grenade launcher and killed him anyway. What changes if you let him leave? Will he still talk to you on the radio post game or something? Is the ending different?

What a kickass game.

I haven't heard anything more from him, he just rides into the sunset and the credits start playing. There is another post-game scene depending on who of the two leaders you sided with, though. If you sided with Amita, it's at Tirith(spelling?), and if you sided with Sabal it's at that island temple I can't remember the name of.
