    Also, Far Cry 4 is everything I wanted out of a Far Cry 4 and I'm having fun with it, but there I was this moment that made me want to stab a dude. First of all, fuck flying enemies, they are assholes and everyone knows it. This eagle was hunting for my head, and I was ready. I was gonna nail the stupid bastard with a bow so I just waited for the swoop. I pulled the string when I saw it get ready; locked in on it when it was descending, but I wasn't letting the arrow fly yet. This thing deserved an arrow in the eye from 1 foot away. When it got within about 3 yards of me, my dude went into an automatic "cover-your-face" animation before the eagle hit me. Fuck you, game, I had this. I was ready, and you ruined it.

    I am playing Far Cry 4 right now too, and I have to say, I find it HILARIOUS how completely freaked out all humans are by eagles. Like, one shows up and people with guns are like "OH SHIT, EAGLE! WATCH OUT FOR ITS TALONS" and randomly shooting in the air. Meanwhile, civilians with no guns basically just scream their heads off and run around wildly.

    I mean, it is inarguably dumb how aggressive the eagles are, but seriously guys, there's a house right there, just go inside for a second.

    Meanwhile, they are alarmed but calmer when being attacked by rhinos, which are 1000 times more dangerous. Not to mention shouting stuff like "Watch out for its horn!".

    Last night I had this idea that I was gonna take down a rhino with my bow. The plan was to hit in the face, dodge its charge, repeat. This is how it worked out.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Scn0nrt_Pu8

    I just did this earlier today, and the key is to be in a place the rhino can't reach and shoot it with, I am not joking, like 20 arrows. It takes forever and is really silly.

    The worst part is that it's going to take a long time for discoveryd to cycle out. It's in use on watch, phone, pad, mac, and TV. They let it infect everything, and every discoveryd device can poison a whole network. I haven't looked to see if it's been pulled from the new iOS too, through you'd expect it would be.

    honestly I loved Fury Road but have no idea how the fuck to even begin using any of those reaction buttons

    this is 100% the point of the bonus reactions.

    once people start using them in a consistent manner they get taken away

    It takes 3 explosive arrows to kill a rhino.

    For comparison, it takes 1 explosive arrow to completely destroy a vehicle.

    Unless you are using exploding Rambo arrows I don't honestly see how bow hunting a rhino doesn't result in a dead hunter.

    I remember the jetpack space pirates in Metroid Prime 1 & 2 not being terrible, but that might be mostly because of the autotargeting and homing missiles.

    Oh so you guys are actually using exploding arrows to kill rhinos in FC4, disregard my complaint.

    I thought you were using actual normal arrows and I was just like "Yeah... no. You would just die and the rhino would be annoyed".

    Does it count as a clean kill if you use explosive arrows?

    No. In fact, the one time I killed a rhino that way, the corpse disappeared. That's probably just a bug, though.

    I see.

    Doesn't strike me as realistic but I'm basing that on assumption. Maybe people did actually successfully hunt rhinos with bows. Their hide is just ridiculously thick.

    I'm talking real life of course, never played FC.

    The Far Cry games I've played (3 and part of 4) are definitely problematic in a lot of ways, and this is one of them. Killing exotic-ish animals for the sole purpose of upgrading your equipment is cringey, for sure.

    I enjoy the other gameplay so much, though, that I have been overlooking these sorts of issues.
