Re: Far Cry 3

So you're confirming Ninja Tigers !?

This game has it all.

Finally got to play a little of this tonight for the first time... loved it.

Tiger clears camp cut scene with blue flag going up and the tiger is gone.

Re: Far Cry 3

I've just about wet myself a few times diving into water and being grabbed by a gator or having a tiger just pounce on me as I'm tring to snipe a few deer to make a new pouch. I'm loving every freaking minute of it, I've spent hours just roaming the countryside killing helpless animals, scaling tall rickety radio towers, and clearing out rebel camps.

[Cusefan]

um, wow

Spoiler

I just climbed out from a pile of dead bodies

Also I dig the .50 cal sniper rifle, blowing up jeeps with one shot or sending pirates flying 5 yards.

I was rocking the .50 cal last night and I think I like the M700 better(with the high powered scope and silencer). This game could def. use more weapons though...

This is first game since Resident Evil (PS1, and I was only a kid) that has had me literally on edge scared once that music starts lol then you see a tapir! Im loving but definitely not rushing through it. Im usually not a stickler for having to.see everything but with this its different. I also want to get my arsenal up before I start doing serious missions.

The funniest thing Ive seen so far was I reactivating a radio tower and I hear "there he is!" and I got all frantic and paranoid, I pull up the camera and zoom in to see 2 leopards killing 4 pirates! Then they wouldn't leave so I was stuck (didnt want to use the zip line cause it would've dropped me into more pirates) I couldnt shoot the leopards because I only had a pistol with 3 rounds left! (Im still at the very beginning of the game) Great game though!

Re: Far Cry 3

Got this friday on my PC and it runs awesome on Optimal.

This game is awesome. I've only met with the Dr. (2nd main mission) and that's it. I've been working on crafting and radio towers. I'm somewhat holding off on a lot of the main story clearing the outposts and whatnot as well.

I'd really like to roll though the Hunter quests so I can have the biggest bags and all that.

I finally got the silenced sniper before I had to stop playing yesterday, so I'm hyped there.

Do you guys use the bow or the silenced pistol more? I kinda like the bow more so far, especially for hunting, since you can get your arrows back....

Re: Far Cry 3

Man, making it to another part of the island can be tough. Between running into animals and enemies, I find myself running low on ammo and fighting hard to stay alive. Even when you're trying to avoid conflict it can be quite difficult to do so. Fun game though, can't wait to get back to it.

Didnt know this!

Yeah, when you kill something and walk over it (person or animal) the arrow gets added back to your inventory. IMO it's been a great way to hunt, as long as you can get close enough (not as good as a sniper rifle in this regard).

If you hit the arrows are 1 shot kills.

I used the bow a lil bit but the silenced sniper rifle is the way to go. When taking out big cats, I'm bringing in the heavy .50

Re: Far Cry 3

I'm very early in the game (Have to go see Dr. Earnhardt)... BUT

How do I unlock more spots for guns? When I press L2, I only have 1 spot open.

I just got the silenced one so I'm sure I'll use that more now...Until then I liked the bow though, and in close quarters it's a great silenced weapon.

You need to craft the weapon holsters...you end up hunting and skinning to get the skins needed to make a new holster. Same for ammo, grenades, c4, syringes, etc. All that is hunting and crafting to get better stuff. I just saw Dr. E myself, and am going to hold off a bit longer so I can do hunting and some other stuff before continuing the story.

Ok awesome, thanks!! I'm gonna do some hunting/gathering before I advance in the Story then... It's tough only having a Pistol!

Yeah, there's tons you can do, unlock more guns with the towers, all the other missions, clear the pirates from areas, etc.

I'm really really loving this game, can't complain at all so far.

Well, I do understand the minor hate on the UI elements showing up too much (So tired of the message getting flashed to go to my next story mission), but it's a very minor nitpick and I think they'll update that eventually.

I noticed that is for PC gamers but I would imagine the patch would be for console players as well?
