You don't even need a sniper rifle, the semi-auto assault rifle with a scope and suppressor is enough.

sniper was nice for the heavies. it was a little ridiculous that you could silence every weapon, but i hope they do it again because it was awesome.

Yeah, Far Cry 3 definitely was all about a white guy coming to terms with his latent arsonist tendencies and lighting the third world on fire to solve all of it's problems. Seriously when not required to do anything else I was all about the flame arrows and flare gun.

I played FC3 until I got to burning the marijuana fields, from which point I just kinda lost interest in continuing. Same thing with AC4. How do people manage to finish Ubisoft titles? It's like you kinda get your fill of whatever experience the game offers, and then the only thing left to do is repeat that thing 100 more times.

It wasn't expressed in the story missions though. It never is for me in open world games.

That was a very insightful part of the game for me. The main character proclaiming "This is loving awesome!" made me, as the player, go "No, it isnt. Jason stop. Jason go save your brother and stop this at once."

i just hate how everything is on the map in ubisoft games so you never are exploring you're just walking to a waypoint and looking around.

Samurai Sanders posted:I dunno, but taking over every single fort in FC3 was as fun for me as the first one, so it definitely had something. I'm pretty much the opposite. If I don't have some kind of strong framing story it's super easy for me to lose interest or forget why I'm even there and what I'm doing. Like, Tomb Raider came out around the same time and was awesome for me because the story was tight and it always felt like there was some new plot twist or impetus to keep momentum. Even though there was obvious combat filler as there is in FC3, the pacing was just excellent and each setpiece upped the ante in a huge way. I'll probably eventually get around to playing more Far Cry but I wish these "open world" games would be less padded out and have more focus. I got through Tomb Raider in a week last year and it's probably the last game I've actually finished.

It's one of the few world games I have played yet that is like that. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Nov 10, 2014 |

Are you serious? How does your brain work? After that part, I couldn't stop playing because I wanted to do more cool stuff. If you didn't stick through to the end when you have to fight your way out of that giant base, fight your way to the airfield, and then ride in the helicopter with your brother while everyone is chasing you and trying to kill you, you missed out big time.

If "suddenly Skrillex" didn't make you love FC3 there and then I don't know what to tell you. And I don't even really like dubstep.

I'm replaying FC3 and not crafting anything (except the mandatory loot bag you have to craft for the tutorial mission). Totally changes the game when you don't have a ridiculous pile of resources. Having to choose very carefully what your one weapon should be (hint: the flare gun) is fun, especially when you're limited to $1000 in your wallet and thus locked out of a lot of powerful weapons.

That sounds like a fun way to do a playthrough. Jason's ability to carry 50 pounds of weapons with him while still moving silently and being able to leap around like a cat is Doomguy level insanity. Which isn't a bad thing but it kind of ruins My Immersion.

Far Cry 3 became immensely more fun when I found a mod that increased the amount of pirates on the island. Suddenly instead of just driving around and base hopping from outpost to outpost, you had to stealthily make your way there while a bunch of patrols rove around in their jeeps.

I was kind of bored, although I loved taking forts, then I burned the pot fields and Jason was like "gently caress yeah" and I was like "you know what, yes, I concur, gently caress to the yeah" and then I smoked weed and Jason smoked weed and we killed a lot of people

I liked FC3 because it was, in my opinion, the perfect marriage of the original's tropical setting and FC2's (which I loved) open-world gameplay. The characters I could do without, and yeah Jason's awesome rad magical tattoos! was just out there, but the gameplay was solid enough and enjoyable. Just the sheer amount of stuff you could do running around the islands exploring and doing stunts was great. I'd pick up FC4 ASAP, but I just can't afford to

I never understood why people around the launch of Far Cry 3 kept going on about how scary and dangerous the tigers and Cassowarys and whatnot were. Until I learned they *weren't* playing it like a rich douchey white guy simulator. Like, I don't think I died to a single animal at all in my first playthrough. Tiger nearby? Run it over with a jeep. Run it over a couple more times just to be sure. Hunt bears with land mines. Throw grenades into every pool that might look like it has a shark or a croc just to be sure. Run down whole herds of animals in a car and only harvest a single pelt.

If you aren't on top of 6 leopards when you notice the first one, you're doing it wrong.

I reinstalled it yesterday and added the Wingsuit From The Start patch and have just been driving around the island having shootouts and watching dudes get eaten by packs of komodo dragons.

Samurai Sanders posted:I'm totally ok with that. Same as that guy says, part of the reason Blood Dragon was so great is because it was a one-time April fool's joke come to life. Ubisoft should make some other ridiculous concept spinoff of one of their games, but something else next time. instead of 80's post apocalypse, 50's future science.

When it came to FC3's writing there are much bigger gripes, but I hope to god the encyclopedia descriptions won't be a bunch of lol in-laws amirite? jokes this time around. That poo poo was awkward.

I agree and it's why I only buy Ubisoft open world games when they're discounted to like $15 or $20. So far I've played Far Cry 3, AC1, and AC2 and I always feel like I've seen everything the game has to offer after 10-15 hours, and the story or the characters have never been captivating enough to keep me playing either. All of them have been very polished AAA games, but they just seem to lack some... character to keep me interested. It's like every design decision was made by a focus group. I did eventually finish FC3, but it was so samey that it felt like a waste of time afterwards. Smol fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Nov 10, 2014 |
