No, OP needs to be written by an 8 year old IMO. "Your 18 wheeler swerves dangerously down a windy mountain road. Then an elephant comes out into the road and it's all GABLOSH!" Then bad guys are like "What dee gently caress," and they come running up like BLAW BLAW BLAW! So the you throw C4 on the elephant and it runs over to the bad guys because it's still alive like ba-REEEEEEEER right when the bomb goes off. All the pieces fly everywhere and all the cars explode, but there's more dudes coming in trucks with like super huge guns, so you like, jump off this cliff and WHOOSH! Wingsuit. Awesome. Buy this game."

I'm not going to lie: I saw 10 seconds of the Far Cry 4 trailer in a bar and I sort of really want to get it. I constantly seek games that provide the catharsis of running around gunning things, and I've spent ungodly amounts of hours in Far Cry 2, 3, and the STALKER series doing exactly that. Unless some stupidly good deal comes out on GMG to get it at launch for $30, I'm going to hold out, but I don't think I can avoid this game for long

Far Cry 3 was way too much fun, even if they retain the mechanics and just put more effort into the world and story this will probably be worth it.

Since our power is now back on, I figured I might as well make an OP. Post if there's anything you think should be included before the game comes out.

Is Far Cry 4 written by the same person as Far Cry 3? Because 3 was a bit terrible in that department.

Far Cry 3 was way too much fun, even if they retain the mechanics and just put more effort into the world and story this will probably be worth it. Ditto. I've only plaid FC 2 and 3, and I liked 2 better, but "absurdly, over-the-top cheesy" is clearly Far Cry's thing at this point. Sure, FC 2 was all "Grim-darkest Africa", and I loved that about it, but it was no less retarded than FC 3, it just had a different tone. If keeping the core gameplay and story concept but monkeying with the tone is what the Far Cry franchise is going to be? I can get behind that. This franchise is shaping up to be the James Bond of video games: crass, formulaic, entertaining, and taking place in a wide variety of beautiful locations. Not every game is going to be The Last of Us, Dark Souls, or Assassin's Creed 2. Think of it like Duke Nukem'. edit: and after saying all that, ^ for real, if it's the same writer, I am not optimistic.

I wasn't even paying attention to it and I think it can be best summarized as "The writer was a pretentious poo poo who took his writing seriously and was unapologetic about how bad it was." I hope we can avoid this shitstorm otherwise, even if I'm wrong

http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Far_Cry_3#FN_Minimi Seriously, the writer seems personally insulted by the MKG and it really is wonderful to read. quote:Jason holds his hideous insult to God equipped with an ACOG scope as he tries to find a suitably deep hole to hurl it into. Note the partially raised rear sight, which somehow still lines up perfectly with the front sight when using iron sights.

The sad thing is that I could probably buy that the game was a satire, if it was in another media format. Because I mean a college age kid landing on a island and then becoming a chosen one and mastering warfare and indigenous culture is ridiculous. But for some reason in gaming, its seen as a legitimate storyline.

Has anyone had issues with indoor shadows? Everything including NPCs become shiny when indoors without a major light source. This happens in caves and buildings. Is this related to graphics settings or is it just a common problem?

I'm getting what I would best describe as sound tearing that's making the game unplayable. The sound part of it is annoying but manageable, but it seems like every time the game tries to make a noise performance generally goes to poo poo. I turned down the resolution and all settings (more than manageable for an i5/540M GT), and everything seems to run smoothly - until the sound tearing crops up and the frame rate goes to poo poo. I didn't find much trying to search for the issue, is this something with a known fix?

So if I'm playing through this for the first time, any recommended mods? Should I install this Schwartz mod from the get go, or would that just end up ruining the game having access to everything from the start I don't really mind finding and climbing towers after the tutorial... unless there's a stupidly retarded number of them (20+). Any graphics mods?

Ziggy's is the mod that makes the game really great, but I'm not really sure if I'd reccomend it for a first play through.

Ziggys mod is playable for a first timer if you know the following things. I recommend the Hardcore version, because slowing down EXP gain makes the game better in my personal opinion: -There's lootable containers all throughout the world, they look like small rectangular boxes. There's no button prompt so I would try and figure out what these look like. -Blue herbs spawn underwater. -When you are doing the hunting tutorial, get at least four boar skins before you complete the mission. Boars will not spawn there again after the mission is over. -The first thing you need to unlock is the Weapon holster. That's what the boar skins were for. -The second thing you need to unlock is an upgraded loot rucksack. -You are wearing a wingsuit. Jump off a cliff while sprinting to deploy it, if you want to land hit C to deploy a parachute. -One of your skills requires relics. Relics are lootable items in the world that are found in temple-type areas. -Hold Q to heal. You will be doing this a lot.

I'm replaying this with Ziggy's mod and welcoming most of the changes, except for the lack of a takedown notification. Is there a reliable method of triggering a takedown instead of limpily flailing my machete into the air and ruining my stealth? Alternatively, how can I bring back the takedown prompt with Ziggy's mod?
