    I got the healing animation where Jason digs a bullet out of his arm for the first time today and I actually yelled "EWWWWW" out loud.

    For real. Only shooter I can recall to come close semi-recently is Bulletstorm. And it's high praise indeed if your game's sound design is compared favorably to a People Can Fly joint.

    Some of the villagers sound really phoned in.

    Like they actually recorded it through a phone cal.

    Nah

    The sound quality for all the NPCs compared to the hero/villains is fucking awful.

    Vaas/mid game:
    the entire buildup to the showdown with Vaas was just lame. The supposed showdown wasn't that great either. Being a symbolic, psychedelic hallucination doesn't give me much assurance that I actually did kill Vaas, either.

    And I guess I should point out that Buck isn't a very positive depiction of sadists in the media, either.

    Halo 4 had really great sound design on the guns.

    It's a pipe dream. Like looking for a Wiccan who isn't blaspheming god at every step or trying to sacrifice a baby to her dark gods.

    Contrary to popular belief, bows and crossbows aren't silent, either.

    Crossbows are much noisier than bows for that matter

    No, the only solution is to shoot at the exact same time someone else is shooting.

    It uh

    It's not that difficult

    Guy turns on a laser, it starts firing on a dude. The laser itself is kinda silent, other scientists point out what they think the laser should sound like. Guy starts rubbing his temples to point out how exacerbated he is by the whole thing.

    turns out flare guns are pretty good at killing wildlife, took only one shot to take a bear down

    and also set the surrounding landscape on fire I guess

    So what exactly is the point of making medicinal syringes when you can just hold Y anyways and heal yourself fully in a much cooler looking fashion?

    syringes are faster, and you can get upgrades for them to heal up 6 bars

    first aid will only ever heal 3 at max

    in the Rifts tabletop game, weapon manufacturers did exactly this

    lasers were completely silent, but consumer-grade laser weapons had speakers to make noise when you fired

    I like to imagine that I can use my computer to make the sounds whatever I want

    the possibilities are endless

    Is that the special sniper rifle? Because the whole "send dudes flying" thing beats out a suppressor in my book.

    I kind of wish there was a compound bow, as well as throwing knives(not the takedown).

    Also, badass moment (island 2 spoilers.
    I was going after an outpost, using my favored technique of getting to high ground and tagging everyone with the camera first. This particular outpost was at the base of a steep cliff, which surrounded it by 1/2. I noticed a tiger cage right next to an alarm. I leapt off the cliff, deployed the wing suit, then dove until I was maybe 50 feet up and popped the chute. Unseen, I killed the alarm box, let the tiger free, and ran for cover. Hobbes ate everybody and my only shots fired were to let him out of the cage.

    I am terrible with the bow. Even with the scope that adds ranges...I have no idea what is really 50-80-100 yards.

    I was taking an outpost on the far eastern end of the first island when I encountered my first bear in a cage. I though to myself this will be brilliant!

    I loosed an arrow to free my brothren from his silly bamboo cage and he immediately went to mauling a guy. I started to swing around to the far side to take some potshots with my silenced sniper and I encountered another bear!

    Being the well-prepared hunter I am, I juiced myself with some animal repellent it used it to herd him into the outpost. Now I had two rampaging bears, how could I lose?

    Somehow the pirate thugs managed to kill both of them while only taking the initial loss of the guy right outside the cage. Then I lobbed a rock to gather everyone up and cooked off a grenade getting an 8-man multi-kill. I guess the bears would good for something...

    This is the only FC3 story ever that doesn't end in "... And then a predator ate everyone."

    this is a thing in wh40k
    the IG uses those little laser rifles
    and they have speakers for a pew pew noise, so the grunts know when they shoot
