I ran away and hid in some bushes while they got out and and began searching for me. They gave me an opening so I slipped in and planted C4 on the bumper of their car before slipping away to a nice vantage point where I could watch and wait. The game is basically a SP of the Battlefield series dick moves.

ChocNitty posted:It's pretty impressive the unscripted things that can happen in this game. I left off in a safehouse to go piss, didn't pause or anything. When I came out all the south african guys or whatever were dead, everything was on fire, and standing around in the middle of all this was one lone tiger - clearly very proud of his work. Killed him, went about my business driving to a mission and runnig over 4-5 of those water buffalo on the way. My car looked like poo poo. Started on the mission, I'm helplessly smashing Spacebar (it was E in the case, no idea why) to climb into a boat after clearing the way for Oliver, when a loving gator comes out of nowhere and pulls me under. No help from anyone, of course. This was all in a span of about 5-10 minutes e: NESguerilla posted:Also, can you skin manta rays and where the gently caress are all of the crocs?

It didn't need any online capabilities, but the game's mechanics make it surprisingly fun. Yeah, I really like it. My go to gun as of now is the MP5 with Hot Rounds and an extended mag. The hip fire ability helps a lot too. I finally got that Far Cry Outpost thing working and now I can decode twice as fast!

Speedball posted:drat. I think what changes on hard mode isn't the strength of enemies, but their number. I just found a pirate outpost that was Dog City. Literally, there were like six dogs in the center waiting for me to come near so they could rip me apart, on top of the pirates. Can anyone else verify that difficulty just affects number because I would love to shoot more things than I already am. Also if I'm coming up from normal will that affect anything?

Any reason they got rid of a lot of the destructability of Far Cry 1/Crysis? I remember being able to cut trees in half with machine guns in some game and also destroy shanty houses and aluminum based buildings. That was loving awesome.

So I jump down into some water and I guess a crocodile just kind of catches me with it's mouth because the very second I'm in the water I'm getting mauled. First time I've seen a croc and the first time I ever did the QTE kill thing correctly. Neat game, but man do I want to punch Jason in the face sometimes.

Vaas, you are seriously the least threatening villain ever. You sound like you've been sucking on helium, how can I take a bad guy seriously with that voice? Just finished the 'reach the helicopter' mission. Managed to not get seen until I was almost right beside the thing. I took the first three guys down silently, snuck into the village, risked going onto the roof to take down the sniper, then I just sat under the house taking potshots. It took like half an hour, because I had to wait for the guys to run over, search around, then plod back to their normal routes. Is there a way to do that full stealth? There isn't, right? Even if you have the Heavy takedown skill (can you even get that by that point?), there's a dog down the left path to ruin things.

Great game. Really enjoying the hell out of it - and surprisingly, there aren't many bugs! My only real complaint is with the story, of all things. In the first five minutes of game time, you're exposed to rape, murder, and human trafficking. But the flavor text of the items are "wacky" style. I kind of wish they'd kept the serious tone - I was genuinely creeped out in the cave. Both Vaas and the person you meet who owns the large house are very, very well done characters. The WWII stuff lying around is evocative of some serious atmosphere. There's so much setting, it feels a little cheapened to have gone the easy idiocy on the item descriptions. I would love to see a serious / scary game set in a place like this, with this engine. Still, loving the game, just wish I were a little more into the story.

I really like when games unlock some sort or re-arranged super hard mode after you beat it. I was a little disappointed to see there was nothing like it but it did get me thinking. It would be really cool of there was a mode where tagging only worked while you were in the veiwfinder, and you could actually take pictures and review them. You'd pretty much have to stake out each outpost from every angle and access where the enemies where. It would be a lot more tense without completely leaving you in the dark.

You'd pretty much have to stake out each outpost from every angle and access where the enemies where. It would be a lot more tense without completely leaving you in the dark. This is one of my biggest complaints with the game, it's fairly pathetically easy. The AI is godawful and it's possible to clear outposts with little to no effort undetected, melee or long-ranged. The weapons are too reliable (I know that sounds weird) so the frantic nature of the combat from Far Cry 2 is missing, also the foliage is less dynamic in this game as well, trees don't really sway in the wind like they did in Far Cry 2, you can't shoot down limbs of trees or really blow apart smaller shacks, accidentally blowing up ammo crates in the second game was far more dangerous and just in general significantly more explosive. There are a bunch of other things as well, Far Cry 2 was in general significantly more immersive (the UI in this game is a pretty big example of why it felt so incredibly "videogamey"), the sound design was better, for guns, the environment, the enemy barks (there were way more of them as well), also, as pretty as Far Cry 3 is, it's not that big of a step up from Far Cry 2, pop Far Cry 2 in on max settings and a lot of what makes Far Cry 3 look better is just the added DX11 functionality and a much better use of color, along with the obvious character models, the environment and etc. however, doesn't look significantly worse, the engine barely feels much different, which is less of a visual issue for me and just proof that Far Cry 3 just has a few mechanical differences that makes it better, yet at the same time Ubisoft made some very regressive decisions. This game is faster paced, it's less repetitive, there's more to do, finding money for weapons and upgrades is more entertaining, the side missions are better and more dynamically integrated with the environment, the animals have greater presence, sprinting and etc. is significantly faster, as is your general movement speed and that of vehicles. Essentially, they removed a lot of the fat but stripped away much of what was great in Far Cry 2. In that sense it's disappointing, a experience with more fun, but generally it just feels less meaty, exciting, and visceral than Far Cry 2 because it's just, for lack of a better phrase, that sort of slick, buttery smooth gameplay that is the AAA standard, it's too bad that that kind of gameplay is just rather dull and has little to no crunch to it.

I really wish the outpost system was a little more complex. They should have been more heavily staffed, with guard shifts, regular patrols along the roads and through the jungles, and supply convoys shifting stuff between bases. I'm thinking back to MGS3 where there were supply depots you could blow up to reduce the enemy's food or weapons supply, which would have a tangible effect on enemy troops you encountered in the area. I love ambushing convoys, and it would have rocked to have some driving around for me to blow up and/or hijack, and for that to actually affect the gameplay in a meaningful way. I also would have loved to see huge, fortified bases that could only be successfully taken after capturing all of the outposts around them. Something else I would have liked to see is teams of particularly skilled enemies deployed specifically to hunt you down once your reputation gets high enough, sneaking around quietly through the jungle to ambush you occasionally if you don't keep your head on a swivel.

There's this game for the Vita, Shinobido 2. It's a ninja game, kinda clunky mechanically, but you optionally take on missions for one of three factions and you will inevitably get missions that will strengthen or weaken one of the sides (one side may get a new weapon, one side may lose their grain supply and have weaker soldiers, etc.) Something like that, here...hmm....

Boss fights in FPS games are generally god-awful, the genre has real trouble of introducing difficulty without enormous HP sponges or enemies that outclass you by pure bullshit tactics rather than anything resembling effective AI. Everything from the Cyberdemon in Doom to Human Revolution. One of the few recent FPS games I've seen with great boss fights was the Syndicate reboot, but that game was more mechanically intense than Far Cry 3.
