Make sure everyone that you take the drugs in the cave every time after rescuing a new person. (Not really a spoiler, it doesn't spoil anything other than something you can do to get more story).

Adraeus posted:How far is several feet? 25" 1080p display and two feet away here. The farther you are from the screen, the more you can fit everything on the screen into your useful field of view. I just tune out the HUD. Somewhere between 2 and 3 feet (far enough). I almost exclusively play FPS games, and I don't think this is a case of me having no idea how to look at my monitor. Anyway, my original point was that my posture/resolution isn't going to change the fact that I don't want uninformative and obtrusive poo poo just lingering on my screen--and the HUD in this game seems to revel in reminding you of information that other games hide in a menu/journal, out of sight.

If you want to get rid of the constant mission reminders, there's a method to do so in the PC Notes & Tweaks part of the OP. It made my enjoyment of the game go up significantly.

I'm still after a savegame from the beginning of the second island, managed to lose my saves and I don't feel like playing the tutorial and unskippable cutscenes again unless the busy modders get something heavily gameplay-altering out soon.

You might be waiting forever then, because the chances of huge gameplay-altering mods is not high.

Am I missing something with the stealth in this game? I usually enjoy playing a stealthy person in these sort of open world games, but I can't help but feel like I'm getting caught repeatedly in this game even after I patiently throw rocks in the hopes of corralling the enemies together. I've only gotten one outpost liberated stealthily thus far and that's because of a lucky break with a tiger happening nearby.

All I want is for somebody to make a 1:1 STALKER mod in this game, and then install an add-on that changes the STALKER mod to behave more like Serious Sam. Not that complicated. Could probably do it in a notepad and MSPaint. Cream-of-Plenty fucked around with this message at 10:53 on Dec 7, 2012 |

Before you enter a outpost/camp, tag everything with the camera, if you're in foliage the enemy spotting range is like 20ft even looking right at you. All enemie's fields of view suck, like 20o wide suck. Stay in bushes, loop around people and never take 2 shots from the same spot. Silenced weapons are NOT completely silent, however the bow is.

Everyone I've talked too complaining/having trouble with stealth is completely forgetting crouching in a bush completely breaks line of sight unless you're fully spotted.

Maaaan  I think the mod that this game needs is one that lets you basically fly unrestricted. Just let me gain altitude on my flight suit so I can zoom across the island like superman, only landing when I want to. I also want to add that its embarrassing how many times I would jump off a hill, trigger my flight suit and crash directly into the grown to die.

I still get the feeling that this whole island adventure is a drug-fueled hallucination, and that Jason is still in Bangkok. It helps explain lots of supernatural sequences in the film that cannot be easily explained by drugs unless you say the whole game is one big drug trip. Or maybe this is just an example of magical realism that we're not supposed to think hard about.

I bet she's real surprised when she wakes up the next morning and finds out what she did. I thought it made fairly good sense actually. She's Vaas's sister and she's shown repeatedly to be a dangerous and probably unstable person from the very first interaction you have with her. She heads the native islanders primary military and religious organization and it seems pretty clear that she's had her own goals from the beginning and basically takes advantage of your highly successful revenge campaign to further them. If you're thinking with more than your dick and a bunch of tribal warrior bullshit filtered through the copious hallucinogens she feeds you it should be pretty clear that her motivations, reasoning process and methods of getting things done do not really align with your own. It shouldn't be surprising that things end badly for you once you've served your purpose by eliminating the threats to both the tribe's survival and her authority over the island. Especially when you kill off your connections to the outside world/your family by your own hand. Getting sacrificed to Citra's delusions is a far better ending than indulging in the fantasy of a mentally unhinged white-boy from California becoming a piratical god-king of Rook Island (both from a "realism" and thematic standpoint).

People having trouble with the maneater should take a look at the rocks in the water a little to the left. You can swim there and stand on the rock while the maneater tries to get you and beaches its fat rear end. And where are the psychedelic drugs in the cave to be found?

So the refill ammo option is broken. It wants to charge $100 for a single sniper round, which should only cost $10, $8 after the discount.

NESguerilla posted:Some of the rare animal hunting missions are so poorly designed I can't even believe I am playing the same game that seems to have so much good game design in it. I found them all straightforward and easy to finish if a bit boring. Get to weapon stash, game autosaves so that if you die you load at the weapon and puts up a target area on the minimap so you know where to look. Every mission I can remember doing also had ingredients to craft hunting syringes right near the weapon stash. Maybe they would have been less a chore to get an unlock and more exciting if they were scripted but that also has down sides.

I don’t know how it is on the PC, but I am disappointed in the fire in this game on xbox. It doesn’t really seem to spread anywhere and just fizzles out. I used to be in awe of entire trees going up in the second game and camps becoming unintended infernos. Mark that as one of those cool things they decided to omit with FC2 along with more variable healing animations. Saying that, the game is still great. It was the dead of night, and I was activating a radio tower and I started to hear noises. A lone pirate, out and alone in the middle of the night was throwing molotovs at every living thing that moved. He must have thrown about 40 while I just chilled on my radio tower and watched. I made sure that when I left, I didnt kill him. He's my kind of people.

I found an outpost with a caged bear and shot the cage open with an arrow from the bushes. Onward to freedom, little bear buddy! I'm cheering it on as it mauls the first guy. Good bear! I'm thinking, cool, I'll get my first ghosted outpost this way. But after its first kill, it beelines straight for me, taking the rest of the pirates with him. gently caress.catpowerd posted:Are any people playing on the pc having texture issues? whenever I move certain objects in the environment go blurry and get these weird black boxes on them.

I have to assume at least part of that is because it's a jungle and not a dry savanna, but it's still a bit of a disappointment. A lot of the stuff omitted from Far Cry 2 is curious, because I always thought that was a game of good ideas, just ideas that weren't particularly implemented well. It continues to have my favorite health system in a video game, though.

Crept up on an outpost, as you do. Since most of my attempts have been to make as much noise as possible while running berserk with the stabbingness, this time around I actually decided on the subtle approach, so I readied up my sniper rifle and took out the alarm and a couple of guards, but was having trouble getting position on the others. So to stir things up I blew up a barrel in the middle of camp. That got them all riled up, so they decided to venture outside of their camp to go looking for little ol' me. There was one dude who was a little too keen on throwing his molotovs around (what is it with these guys?), unfortunately for him he started a bit of a grass fire, which ended up immolating himself and his buddy, allowing me to finally capture an outpost undetected. I guess that's what they call friendly fire.

I love me some landmine-ing patrolling jeeps then setting off the secondary C4 as dudes come to investigate the first explosion. Even better is hiding in a bush at the side of the road, letting the first dudes get landmined, then sneaking out to stick c4 on the back of the responding jeep. They get out, have a look around, check over the bodies, get back in their jeep, drive back towards wherever they came frBOOOOOOM. Unrelated: I got the digital deluxe edition, where's all the DLC/ADD-ONs at?
