Re: Far Cry 3

That must be the case because I seem to recall needing them for some special recipes that I had unlocked later on. I'm sorry, I can't recall exactly what the recipes were for though

EDIT: I looked it up....you need white flowers for a medical syringe called Untouchable. I remember it was for a good one! It makes you invulnerable for it's duration.

Yea, Untouchable and Touch of Death...which I somehow haven't unlocked. Would have been pretty handy for some of the later stages of the game.

Re: Far Cry 3

So I hiked up a mountain the other day. Saw a pirate base nearby. Found a glider near me as well! I thought about sight-seeing, appreciate the view while gliding in the air...but then I pressed a number and out came some C4. Aha! So I stick two C4s on my glider, then I began to fly. The pirates thought I was a great bird, until they saw me diving down like Batman. I waited until the last possible moment to bail, dropping the glider right in the middle of the base where quite a few had gathered. The moment I hit the ground and got back up, I immediately sprinted away then.....BOOM! With both alarms taken out with the blast, the remaining 2-3 pirates were picked out with my assault rifle.

Just another day on the island.

LOL, great story, Leon. SO many creative ways to deal with outposts....

Re: Far Cry 3

Went hunting for sharks. I started out at the Welshore outpost and seeing as there wasn't a boat I had to jump on the jetski there. I pulled a troll maneuver and just rammed a couple of them. Got my wallet though. Rolling with mad greenbacks now. Also managed to find the relic and loot in that sunken boat off the coast.

I need to go hunting for sharks, I need my 4th equippable weapon, lootsack, and final wallet.

On the co-op front, my cousin and I finished the 2nd mission last night. The missions are getting harder for just 2 to complete.

If anyone out there w/ a 360 wants to do some co-op tonight or sometime soon doing missions starting from mission 3 PM me.

Re: Far Cry 3

Been skinning animals like its my business. I'm up to 3 weapon slots and a lot of craftables are left for rare animal skins via the Hunting quests.

Running out of things to do, but I have to investigate the "Badlands" so I guess I'll make my way over there liberating outposts and radio towers along the way.

Re: Far Cry 3

The latest patch is out today for PS3, 360 and PC. Go get it!

http://www.ign.com/wikis/far-cry-3/Version_1.05

Re: Far Cry 3

Finished the game. A little lukewarm on the ending...

Started back up after the credits. Ran out to the road, see some random car by some bandits explode and a black bear runs out and eats all 3 of them. A few more bandit cars pull up and I either blew them up or shot everyone. Eventually I get about 5 or 6 cars lined up close to each other, so I place mines on both sides of the road and hide in the bushes. A car pulls up to my left and spots me. They stop short of the blockade and run out of their truck closer to me. On the other side of the road another car of bandits comes by, oblivious to there buddies and drives up near my blockade of empty trucks. The drive close enough to the mine blowing their truck up, set off a chain reaction of 5 or 6 trucks blowing up and the explosions take out the 2 guys coming after me.

I figured that was a good point to stop the game. Can't get much better than that.

Re: Far Cry 3

Burned some fields yesterday.

I'm not sure why the guards don't pull the alarm at the outposts when they're clearly being attacked by a sniper, but hey I'll take the undetected bonus every time. Though its hilarious to watch a bear maul and eat an entire outpost.

Also, fire arrows are amazing.

I'm playing on warrior and apart from random tiger encounters this game feels like I'm strolling through now since I have most of the weapons unlocked and ammo packs/slings maxed out.

Load times seem to be a tad longer though.

Re: Far Cry 3

Froze on me yesterday, but that was the first time. Some screen stuttering/tearing and texture pop-ins, but that seems to pretty normal for open-world games on the Xbox 360 in my experience.


Anyway, had some fun clearing out the outposts yesterday. I got to a couple with dogs. Lured a pair out with some rocks. Cooked and grenade and send poor lil doggies' bodies flying into the air. Hilarious. I also trolled this one outpost for a good bit. Got a couple death from above takedowns. One dude straight up split. Hopped into one of the jeeps and basically said **** this nonsense. I was dying laughing.

Rongo is worthless BTW. Dude just would not stay alive. I guess I had to be his bullet sponge for the little wimp.
