So what kind of skills improve as you level up, specifically?

It's amazing how little attention this game is getting despite looking like GOTY material at this point.

Here's a recording of a Gamespot stream where they play an hour and a half of the game. No story spoilers included, they mostly wander around the game world and answer questions. For people curious about the progression system, they go over a fair bit of that. Their impressions are overall very positive.

I'm guessing there won't be any chance of this getting a discount during the Steam sale? I can find it cheaper at other places but I have to download it off Steam.

Since it's not even out for 8-12 more days (varies depending on where you are), I'm 99% positive it won't.

Yeah, it looks like its only crime will be being released in the same season as a load of other high-profile games, but now that I've had a chance to look at it it looks like it'll be really great. Wonder if it's too late to add to my Christmas list...

I for one played a ton of Farcry 2 matches. Must have played at least... 6 or 7 before I put that crap away forever. Edit. Does anyone know what will control the quality of custom maps? I don't know how many giant dick stadiums made of sheet metal I can handle. Marshmallow Blue fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Nov 22, 2012 |

Greenmangaming.com are doing their seemingly eternal 20% off digital downloads sale, which includes Far Cry 3. I think with the discount it's about £26 - they've always been reliable for me in the past. The coupon code is usually on the front page of their site. Edit: Just checked the site and there is now a code for 30% off on the Far Cry 3 page on GMG, brings it down to about £24.80. Now I'm annoyed I only got 20%.

Party Plane Jones posted:Far Cry 3 doesn't seem to be on their US site at all. Yeah, sadly, GMG has said that they don't have a deal with Ubi to provide AC3/FC3 to NA customers at this time. On the other hand, the non-NA versions they're selling don't activate on Steam, so maybe it's a bit of a wash.

The problem FC2 had was that map ranking A: was determined entirely by players (so there was vote-whoring for maps that catered for very specific playerbases even if they were poo poo by any rational standard, like the godawful barren canyon map designed entirely for headshot sniping that was insanely popular for a while), and B: made vote-whoring easy by letting people vote for a map as many times as they liked.

Does it auto paint targets when you aim at them through a scope? It looks like it does, I don't like that but it's not that big a deal.

Public transport wasn't Africa's strongest point in that game, there were way too few bus stations. Also what is the replacement in this game? Teleportation ala Elderscroll?

I'm starting to hope for an "I am not a 10 year old playing this on an XBox" mode. e: Although this feature might itself be a concession for game pad players, sort of like Z-targeting in Zelda 64 (god I'm old and out of date on video games). doctorfrog fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Nov 22, 2012 |

So it sounds like the map editor will have a "Single Player Sandbox mode" that lets you spawn vehicles/wildlife/AI in your maps to play around with. This is awesome since it's the exact feature I wished was in the FC2 editor. Thanks for reading my mind Ubisoft! http://far-cry.ubi.com/fc-portal/en-us/community/detail_news.aspx?c%3Dtcm%3A19-74054%26ct%3Dtcm%3A6-231-32 XenoCrab fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Nov 22, 2012 |

I'm assuming the SP sandbox is still limited to 512x512 meters though. Even then, still pretty cool!

I hope that's right. I know you have to manually do it with the binoculars but on the gamespot video it looked like it did it automatically. I could have missed something though, I was playing xcom at the same time. The guy on the gamespot video also guessed the playable area could be the same size as Just Cause 2... That can't be right, maybe it feels the same size because you don't have jets and a grappling hook. But if it is Quad bikes look like a lot of fun.

Exactly how does this work in regards to the Ubisoft store and Steam? I got this free with my graphics card, and redeemed the code on the Ubisoft site. when it launches do I just get a key for Steam?

"I don't think it's as big as Skyrim (16 sq miles) Just Cause 2 might be a better comparison (400 sq miles?!)" Yeah that is a pretty muddy statement. Earlier in the thread, the measurement of nearly 10x larger than FC2 was stated, with FC2 being estimated to be about 31 sq. miles. So maybe the Just Cause 2 thing is appropriate, and the Skyrim thing was a weird mistake.
