Yay! Downloading the beta nvidia drivers gave me a huge fps boost. Rocking out at 60 frames with everything on high except shadows (I set them on low as a matter of course because shadows are always the most boring thing in a game and I can't ever tell the difference), post-fx (medium. I lose about 10 frames on high, doesn't seem worth it) and textures. (medium. I haven't tried them on high yet)
V-sync acts a little wonky though. Starting the game up it always stabilizes at 42 fps. I have to manually switch it off then back on to get it to stabilize at 60.

So, now I feel like a silly goose for doubting this game. Picked it up last night, then played until the sun came up.
I like the story for what it is, and I don't care at all about what others are describing as racism here. Some people just can't function without finding a reason to be offended or manifesting their first world guilt at least once a day. I'm just in this to have fun.
This is not really how it works at all.
There are a lot of things to be offended by out there, you ain't got to go lookin for shit.
And you do not need to have "first world guilt" to be aware of racism.
I am, however, content to just let the game have a bad story and still play it, because it is still a fun game.

I highly recommend using a program like D3DOverrider or your GPU control center to force vsync, and turn the game's off. I get 100% less bullshit stuttering this way. Also turn water to medium, it's a real bitch around fires for some reason.

Oh god
So I take this wanted dead mission, right? Well I drive out there and the dude is sort of camped out on this little peninsula that would have been an island at high tide. I swim out there and put a rock formation between me and the bad guys. So as soon as I get set up out there everybody starts going nuts. "Aim for the gas tank!" One screams. Locals had decided to execute their own unwitting pincer attack. So in the confusion, I pull out my silenced rifle and cap a dude. There's a short lull and then another jeep pulls up. I take down another one. Then I figure, hey screw it, and shoot another guy. About this time two more jeeps full of locals arrive on the scene. I find the last guy and shoot him. The commander? He's surrounded. So in order to get my bounty I run out there, flying lead be damned, and stab that son of a bitch in the neck.
It was almost like they'd programmed looks of disgust and disappointment into the NPC'S faces. I was half expecting to hear "JASON BRODY YOU KILL STEALING FUCK!"
Pretty sure I know which you mean, and the jeeps arriving seem to be scripted, since the same thing happened to me and also the Giant Bomb guys in their quicklook of the game.
The thing about you narrowly getting the knife kill is awesome though. My own success was substantially less thrilling!
I just spent the last like four hours getting all the relics, and I'm stuck at 119/120 because one of them is in an area that I no longer can access, and never will be able to again.

That is complete bullshit.
Please tell me which one it is so this doesn't happen to me
And I appreciate your sacrifice, thanks in advance

I was pretty irritated at this game because I had already bought all the weapons I could ever possibly want, and upgraded all my pouches, and had six grand burning a hole in my pocket
and then I discovered that apparently new weapons do in fact unlock

So I've taken to lugging a LMG with me just for tigers and bears.
This game is like a mash up of red dead redemption and just cause 2. I love it.
The cave under the doctor's house has "Spider 1" in it. You get blocked from going back in there once you go on to the second island.
Seriously @SimBen locate the one responsible for this and slap him for me please. If you are the one responsible then BAD NO WE DO THAT OUTSIDE
Pretty sure you can go back there after finishing the story. I'm pretty sure you can always go back and do the flashbacks that way if you missed them, too.

I literally screamed the first time I got attacked by a gator.
Another time, went across a river to hunt down a pair of goats. As soon as I get out of the water and creep up on one, motherfuckin tiger leaps out and takes it out, then bites my god damned guts out. I jumped nearly out of ,y chair.
The second sniper you can get has a silencer attachment you can put on it. Even if you don't wanna pay for the gun or wait until you've unlocked enough towers, you get one for free in the hunting quest in the map zone where Earnhardt's house is.
I wish a game would come out that treated silencers as they really are, rather than the hollywood un-reality that's become universal in all media.
But then they'd essentially become useless (except in games like, well, FC3, where most of the shooting occurs in wide-open outdoor areas with plenty of background noise).

Pretty sure. Not 100%.
Nope, when I saw that post I even thought, "I'm sure they'd let you go back in after the story is over," but I checked it and there's an invisible force field.
Unless it's like the invisible force field in that other part of the game that I spent 5 minutes trying to get through before finally finding the exact spot where it lets you through.

exactly!
no but seriously I would love a game where someone asks for a suppressor and they get laughed out of the room.
In a Farcry game it would be especially cool because you would actually have to account for how suppressed the shot would be, take into account other noises etc.

The later Splinter Cell games actually took that into account. You had an ambient noise meter and if there wasn't enough noise everyone would hear your gunshots despite Sam Fisher only rolling with silencers.

tiger walks in the front door
screams, gunfire
flag raises
I imagine the tiger saying "everybody gets one" and running off
just gotta shut off the alarm so bro can get to work on becoming death bear
I died 10 times trying to kill the legendary panther though

I usually like carrying a bunch of silenced weapons and stuff, but then I met some tigers
and now i carry a shotgun and a bow.
