@askew
You don't actually drop out of the buzzer, you land next to a car and do a vehicle takeover (yes, really!!!)
Apparently you do it as part of one of the Hurk missions, but I had good fun finding a place to do it out in the wild and never got around to doing those missions.

Ha! Stumbled on 3 hostages with two guards distracted by a blue person on the map.

Easy karma points thought I, but this game has other ideas. Killed one guard with the bow. Steady myself to aim for the final guy and....a rhino charges in killing the hostages and guard.

@Vortex808
Old age slowing you down mate. Know the golden (path) rule.
Think once
Aim twice
Think get your shot off and don't let a rhino charge ;-)

As long as you killed at least one guard you get the karma points.

I've not played this for a while. Thought I'd give it a bash today.

So many icons! I still carried on doing one mission. Then another. Then another. Unlocked the North side. Now I'm totally hooked again.

Has anyone seen this at a good price at retail recently? I fancy picking up but I'm trying to be budget conscious.

For Xbox 1

This is going to take a while...

I completed as in saw story credits and done as much as I wanted to, 29 hours, not too sure of completion, not as high as yours though.

Spoiler...I let the girl and PM live.

I keep wingsuiting into trees with alarming regularity just now.

I'll need to step up the campaign a bit. I'm spending too much time spinning prayer wheels and looking for masks/propaganda. I already have far too much money and a decent amount of skills from discovering locations and other available activities.

I still wish the wildlife would ease off a bit though. Mind you, i did enjoy the honey badger fashion week quest a lot!

Ah shit, clicked on this by mistake.

Anyhow, this is really far cry 3.5 which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just a bit meh so far. That meh feeling I felt towards to end of FC3.

I'll give it more time though.� Multiplayer is pure garbage, why are ubisoft so bad at making decent multiplayer

I just did about an hour of co-op with a mate. Brilliant fun! We did an outpost, cargo lorry, animal hunt, defend an outpost and an assassination. All much better fun than solo.
Would have been even better if he'd had a working headset!

Honey Badgers are pussies. 4, maybe 5 bullets and they're in the bag ready for sale to the nearest merchant. It may help that my weapon of choice is the ridiculously overpowered Shredder though.

Just played the first hour. Cutscenes 10/10, the game is so dull. The combat is call of duty shit and straight away in that first town i got given two quests. What were they? A gash fetch quest and a quest to skin x amount of animals. Fuck off! Be more original with your quests. I want to tell the npcs to go and get the shit themselves!!

It's almost as if the first few quests are there to show and explain how certain in-game systems work.

I don't need to be told how to fetch something or go and skin an animal, hold square. That assault on the bell tower, the a.i. Was shocking.

Silenced sniper rifle seems to solve a lot of problems. Love using it.

Makes the hostage rescue and bomb disposal missions somewhat easier.

Deleted user 13 January 2015 01:25:16

The Predator is awesome for that.

I went full on Rambo with that and a nade launcher for the last story mission. Ridiculously effective when you've maxxed the tiger tree! Up until then I'd been super stealthy, it was a great change of pace...

I'm nearing the end and honestly I don't think I've hated a game quite as much in a long time. Stubbornness is the only thing keeping me going.

It really is a sniveling shit of a game, aiming at profundity like a sixth form student and falling desperately short with it's embarrassing story. Characters are genuinely repulsive but not in the way the writer intends, just because they're so badly/thinly written. It's a buggy mess with more cheap deaths than any game I've played. The chopper means you can cheat/over power 90% of missions and side quests (like fly to the top of a tower without having to climb them). You can sprint through most missions hitting checkpoints without fighting anyone (worse than any COD), and the main missions are so bland and repetitious, especially the ones with those British stoner twats - which are all identical. I'm scared of going back to FC3 in case I now feel the same way.

Ubisoft have finally broken me, I can't play anymore of their identikit games, they have zero value - I feel like a rat perpetually pressing a button to get a tiny bit of cheese.

(sorry for being so negative - I just need somewhere to vent!).

On the plus side - now that Dark Souls has been moved to Steam from GFWL I can finally have my first proper Souls experience!

I kind of hope they keep the open world exotic locations in Far Cry but slowly get rid of the idea of a main campaign and side missions. If they had this world but you had to work out what to do, set your own goals and follow them through it could be amazing. It's already a fantastic playground but the sheer weight and number of objectives is oppressive and dull.

Drop me into Kyrat, introduce some main characters in the opening sequence (which I thought was fine) and then let me decide what to do. I could try and join Pagan Min's army and finally push the rebels out of Kyrat, I could join one of the rebels and work my way up to destroying Pagan's empire. I could simply scatter my mother's ashes and then find a ride out of Kyrat.

Like in the Fallout games there could be a set number of end states and if you trigger any of them you've 'finished' the game, but how you get there is much more up to you, exploits and all. After the tutorial you could even just go straight back to Pagan's palace and snipe him when he goes to the balcony before legging it to an airfield and stealing a plane. Well done, game over. Or you could spend months carefully working out who his top generals are and assassinating them one by one and help to improve the rebel's situation.

I think Ubisoft really need to mix things up. All the games follow the same open world template with a zillion icons vomited over it. A lot of the side stuff is the most boring filler.
Really enjoyed my time with FC4, less so with watch dogs. I'm in no rush to buy another Ubi game for a while.

They should make a game in an open world city liek in Watchdogs, but if you attack a civilian it adds an icon to everyone else's map to come and stop you hurting people. If they accept that mission it adds another icon to everyone's map to stop them from stopping you. And so on.
They should call it Iconception
