Far Cry 3

Twigg, I don't think it ever notifies you about the camera. It certainly doesn't tell you about it when you get it, because that's right before things get really crazy. I just stumbled upon it by checking out all of the controls.

EDIT: Well, I'll be damned. Seth is right and it does run at a steady 20 fps.

That seems crazy then for them to not tell you about such a crucial feature in the game. I mean, they tell you how to throw a rock but not how to use the camera?

Holy shit, I was right about something. I prefer to be wrong. I grew up with outspoken women and anytime I'm actually right about something I get very uncomfortable.

AC3 had similar issues. Ubisoft's tutorial shit seems backward as hell sometimes (particularly in the case of AC3, where the "tutorial" is like 6 hours long, yet some stuff is barely mentioned during it (or only mentioned once, briefly, and then buried in menus).

I haven't noticed any glaring issues on PS3 yet, and I've put a pretty hefty amount of time into the game. I fucking love it, it's everything I wanted from Skyrim, Fallout 3, Just Cause 2, and Ass Creed 3. Buy this fucking game and get completely immersed on this island already.

Got every upgrade for the Recurve Bow (skills and quiver upgrades) and when all else fails I just go Legolas on bitches.

She's now in my possession, gents.

Will there be any Bro-Op'ing today?

Technically there's good news then... if you're a PS3 owner :

Spoilery as to the fate of the 4 characters in co-op mode on the vanilla disc/digital DL -



TL;DR - Starting in January, if you have a copy for the PS3, UbiSoft is releasing 2 new chapters for Co-Op.

UPDATE:

It now seems that this new and exciting DLC will also be free for those who own a copy on the PS3.

This game is so good. Nothing quite like stalking around nailing people with my bow. Love it.

What the fuck is up with Ubisoft games and their sound though? They only ever let you adjust the master volume, and the background music drowns out the voice work so often. It's weird. It's like everything was done by Hans Zimmer.

I haven't even done any missions in quite awhile and I'm having a fucking blast. Just out hunting trying to upgrade my stuff and sneaking around random bad guys.

[JayDizzle]

I need to make a new wallet for syringes but the only pigs I've been able to find were at the first outpost you clear.

And now I need to either sell or find another species to endanger so I can carry more stuff.

Also, I found a Crocodile while searching for a "Blue Leaf."

I gifted him a grenade after he wouldn't accept my bullets... he took the 'nade and disappeared afterward so I'll have to wait to make a new set of boots another day.

And then you die.

Merry Christmas, kids."

Love this game.

You said you're playing on 360, right? Maybe it's the mixing? The 360 version only supports Dolby. PS3 supports Doly, DTS and PCM. Not to mention that in larger game like this one, audio tends to be compressed on 360. Just a guess.

Also, fuck the water. I was chatting with Swarley earlier on Voxer about this awesome string of events I had. I ran across an ATV and discovered my first medical supplies delivery side mission. I race through the checkpoints, which of course the path led me over an awesome jump to the finish. I also drove right past a tower and heard enemeies yelling at me. So after I fi9nished teh delivery I climbed up the hill and murdered those bitches. Then I see a goat running around and think "Perfect! I need a goat to craft an extra weapon holster." Then I see a dog chase the goat and a t first I think it's just kind of happily playing with it. Nope, the dog kills the goat and then attacks me. I then get a messgqae saying that masically all the dogs on the island are rabid. Awesome. So I kill teh dog (which I hated doing by the way) and his buddy that also showed up. Which that then gave me materials to craft an extra holster for falmetrhower rouns I believe? Then I go go to pick a few flowers and see one of those challenge stones. I do the challenge, which was fun as hell (they give you nothing but a silenced pistol and ask you to kill as many enemies as possible in the alotted time), and then I notice a nag glider near the cliff. Oh shit! I see a small island off in the distance and manage to glide to it. On that island I find some treasue and an idol that gives me an extra skill point that I use to make all syringes powers last 25% longer.

But that is when shit got real. I realize "How the fuck am I getting back to the mainland. No boat, no other transportation. I notice on the map there is a treasure icon which appears to be just in the water. I look down off the edge of the cliff and see a sunken ship. The treasue must be in the ship, which is fucking awesome! But then I look closer and see a fucking shark, sting ray and sea turtles swimming around. I figure FUck it! I jump in, get the treasure from the sunken ship and start swimming my balls off to the beach. That fucking shark fucked my day up but I was just able to make it to shore thanks to my two health syringes.

Then I go a bit further and spy a vehicle with an enemy guarding it. I sneak up behind him and lit his throat and relieve him of his shotty and then drive nack to the village to save.

I fucking love this game.

Just Red Boxed this game for PS3 and it just finished installing. Already have a complaint, Paper Planes as the beginning theme lol. Seriously though, I'm going to play the shit out of this tonight (hopefully if it's as good as everyone says).

Seriously, no point Red Box'ing this game. There is way too much shit to do. Just buy it. I can already see that this game is easily going to be worth $60.
