    Going to just pick it up on ps4 now if it's available in store. There's fun to be had here but it's just giving me a headache on pc.

    Got mine through the Nvidia code, which means I can't play along with every other single person who got it this way. Fucking Ubisoft just always fucks up.

    Found the issue with locking up on launch. Had to unplug my Logitech G13 gameboard and 360 controller, then reboot PC. Thankfully my G15 and G700s mouse aren't causing issues (people on their forums saying other Logitech devices cause it as well).

    Everyone unlock and craft the fuck out of the hunting syringe. It's bonkers without any upgrades, tagging permanently any enemies in a huge radius (Animals and dudes) so outposts get a lot easier when you know where everyone is

    Disagree. I don't want to play another killing innocent animals simulator - they had you fucking killing turtles in FC3. I should have boycotted every Ubisoft game ever on principle just from that, but I have no willpower.

    A turtle would kill your whole family to make itself a better shell holder.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Oh yeah, that was another cool hunting moment. I encountered Turtles for the first time, and I'm like "oh hai!" Then some Pagan Min patrol came around and I accidentally killed the turtle during the firefight (turns out, they aren't cover. Not in the slightest). Then his nearby Rhino buddy rammed me for my insolence. I got totally sidebusted and had to respawn. I'M SORRY TURTLE I DIDN'T MEAN IT.

    That just means there's yet another reason to assault outposts and take bloody vengence for Mr. Turtle.

    The animals are not real.

    The people are not real.

    I don't understand why everything has to be a gorram problem.

    I feel a little bit better about buying my new card just a couple days before that promotion started now, I guess.

    Mine has been smooth as butter. Had one guy charge off a cliff and an eagle get stuck indoors after I dodged it but no real game breaking bugs or anything. Enjoy! And add me to your friends list if you so desire.

    Anyone know how to fix mouse movement/aim? It is fucking awful. I don't know how they thought this was good. It is like, FFXIV v1.0 mouse movement.

    The helicopter is just the best. Helicopter hunting animals, helicopter hunting humans, helicopter hunting trucks driven by humans. The thing is just ridiculous good fun and I want to try and make my own shitty helicopter.

    Anyone know where you find the game stop pre order bonus gun? Not finding it in that first safehouse.

    With all the eagle attacks, Kyrat must be a horrifying place to live. For a while I was annoyed that Golden Path members would fire their guns into the air in celebration. It made me think there was trouble going on plus it's just such an unsafe thing and grates me in general.

    Then I saw how both allies and npcs react to birds of prey and realized that shooting into the air is just something you have to do to survive long enough to celebrate.

    I saw a skirmish between Golden Path and National Army fighters that never finished because each time the army soldiers were finished, a leopard, rhino, or eagle would appear leading to gunfire leading to drawing attention.

    On a related note, getting thrown into a mission that has lots of animal attacks is rough when you don't pack a shotgun. Three wolves ambushing you makes the bow largely useless and assault rifles just don't do enough damage to animals when there's more than one.

    I took out my first outpost by riding an elephant while firing an AK.

    That was pretty neat.

    This game is fantastic so far

    I'll always prefer tropical settings to any other settings, so I might end up liking 3 more

    But from what I've played so far this is shaping up to be a fine follow-up

    Not all the animals give you crafting materials. But you sometimes don't find that out without killing them first.

    So my first outpost liberated? Just shot open a gate holding an elephant in. The big guy took care of literally everything else. Including most of the buildings the outpost was made of, because soldiers kept hiding in them.

    Also, bow hunting rhinos for double skin is pretty hilarious, because it takes something like 20 arrow hits to take them down. Which means you end up having to run down their sides while they're trying to horn-stab you and grab all the arrows you've stuck in them, just so you have enough arrows to actually finish the job.

    Use throwing knives too. They deal around the same damage if not more.

    I like what they have done with the outposts where they can be attacked by enemy after you've taken them. Was driving along and get an emergency message saying outpost was being attacked, so I rush over there to see the allies in it launching flares off to signal for help and a big wave of enemy soldiers advancing on them. Not sure if the enemy can reclaim them, but it was still a nice change. Also, once you take an outpost you can do an instanced challenge version of it for xp/cash.

    I think I'll be getting this around Xmas time on PS4. Loved Far Cry 3, it's a game I would NEVER have bothered trying if I didn't get it off @Big Classy as part of my Secret Santa gift and it turned out to be one of my favourite games of the year.

    Thoroughly looking forward to this.

    Ajay was using the radio in the first act and referred to himself as AJ Gayle. The Kryattian on the other end then called him Ah-jay Gah-lay. Weird.

    Not really. Often people with foreign sounding names use Westernized pronunciations when they live in Western countries.

    That continues with weird amounts of consistency. Some kyrattian characters will refer to you as (I guess the romanised version of ajay's name) AJ while others call him Ah-jay

    Ajay can't say his name properly because he grew up in the US
    the local guys OTOH know how to pronounce it.

    PSA

    If something like a big gold ferret is looking at you and chattering happily it's not because it found someone to play with, it's happy food has been found...

    Little buggers are like the bunny from Monty Python's Holy Grail. Had several times now ran toward a huge gun battle only to find it over and one of these happily romping among its half dozen kills...
