If I have one gripe about this game it's that Jason takes fall damage like a bitch. I stumble on 4 feet of rock and he loses just a bit OVER a bar of health, meaning I need to take medicine to restore it. It doesn't loving help, either, that there's no way to initiate first-aid to save yourself a fast-acting syringe for when you need it.

I don't know what the gently caress TESTING UNIT was supposed to be but that was by far the worst thing I've played in this game. Why was that there on the map? What was the point?

It's some worthless mission you unlock with uPlay points. It only exists to give you money which you can already find everywhere in the game world.

That happens if you photograph human corpses. It's a left-over from a side mission you do that has you taking pictures of them.
Outside two side-missions the picture function of the camera is worthless and has no use.

I was really sad and annoyed when I discovered that taking photos with the camera doesn't take screenshots.

So, not only does it count as a victory for me if I am scouting an enemy outpost and a tiger randomly appears and kills everyone inside before I even set foot in, but I get the "never detected" bonus for it. Awesome.

It seems like my FPS is capped at 30, though. Is there a setting or something I can edit to allow the framerate to go higher?

One of the two vsync options locked mine to 30, the other to the proper 60. Try looking at that? Alternatively can you get higher if you lower the settings?

Does anyone know of a way to get your camera back? Mine disappeared along with all my guns when I loaded, I just bought my guns back but you can't buy a camera. Wanted dead missions can be annoying without it but not impossible.

Whey! I found a place that respawns with pirates after the story mode ends.

The base you have to fight through to get to the helicopter after Vaas kicks you inte the cenote.

I've had groups of up to five pirates there so far, sometimes with hostages, other times with caged tigers. Seems to respawn when you move out of that particular map cell, but I haven't been able to quite nail down the borders yet. Even better, if you stick around or make a lot of noise, it seems reinforcements will arrive about every 30 seconds or so in ones and twos, sometimes in vehicles as well for added boom.

I've barely cleared any outposts for fear of turning the game into this. :( Fingers crossed somebody does manage to churn out a reset mod at some point.

Not even a "reset" mod is necessary. Just something increases the chance of hostile patrols in the area once it's reclaimed would be nice.

Also, man, when you manage to get into a multiplayer game that isn't a laggy mess, it's actually kind of fun. It's too bad it's so broken.

I think "hardmode" should honestly be patched to be harder. More patrols and so on would be great.

It's hilarious when you're meticulously scanning an outpost and trying to find the best route to take everyone out stealthily and then all of a sudden a swarm of tigers and cassowaries attack it from all directions.

Is there any way to holster weapons manually? On the PS3, that is.
I don't know if this works on PS3 but I have holstered weapons using this approach:

bring up your camera (default Z on pc) and then just put it down again instead of pressing on the weapon buttons (1-4 on pc). Basically just bring up your camera then put it away. This worked for me but I am not sure if it's meant to work that way.

Well that's weird but I can easily see how that could get screwed up initially but then no one notices. It's a super specific and not all that obvious QA check.

Last night I approached an outpost and sniped a dog. At that point a guard walked over to check it out so I sniped a tiger cage and let the beast rampage a bit. After he mauls three guards a rocket launcher dude shows up on a roof and takes aim at the poor tiger. I snipe him and he misfires and shoots his rocket straight into a heavy below killing him. I then only had to kill another dog that wandered out of the camp to get a perfect clear.

Shamefully the tiger was then gunned down by my rebel bros. RIP.

Although it creates an annoying problem. They put the ® after "Far Cry" but before the 3 on steam. I have the first 2 far cry games. IT MESSES UP THE ORDER. And it bothers me way more than it should.

The LEGO games are especially bad about it.



No, you don't put the sequel above the first game.
And what the gently caress LEGO Harry potter, not even following the same capitalization or title layout?

Far Cry 3 Patch 1.1

Hard Mode modified based on player feedback

- Additional story component : Jason has soiled himself when he and his brother were captured. The stench gives out his position to all enemies further and further away as time passes, all wildlife is aggressive by default and will activily hunt him
- Cassowaries can fly
- Komodo dragons have been made more realistic and are now poisonous
- Cassowaries will often carry Komodo dragons around in their claws, dropping them on the player like bombs
- Jason has broken his right index finger, firing weapons causes damage to player

I like how all of this takes like what.... 15 minutes and his first hand gun purchase to accomplish?

"Here Jason, take a gun"
"I don't know how to use a gun!"
Shoots, stabs, and blows up more than a dozen people minutes later.

You're awesome. Can't wait to be able to upgrade my AK.

Do you think it would be possible to unlock custom paint jobs for the "special weapons"?

Also do you think it would be possible to unlock all the weapons on the first island?
