[ALL] Far Cry 3

[Maynard]

moving along on the south island. not sure how close or far from the end, but the missions in the game are great. i just did a stealthy mission that was a blast. And taking over strongholds never gets old. i like to break out the silent sniper gun

finally got to the south island. i thought i was going to get there 5 or 6 missions ago.

im not a fan of the story. i like how trippy it is, but i find most of the voice acting and expressionless faces...plus the dialog to be an annoyance. jason is a whiny bitch too. he has to be the worst main character ever. i mean, when you start off as a crying little girl, it kind of ruins it for the rest of the story

I do agree that I don't like the main character at all. He is a whiny, preppy little bitch. The side missions leave much to be desired too. The rest of the game is awesome though.

Use the Marksman scope I believe? Shows you where you need to aim at what range, and to find out if you're at 70m just waypoint an outpost.

I've tried that numerous times. Not only is the terrain completely erratic but even when I think I have the shot lined up perfectly (factoring in the drop) it still misses every time. And if you miss ONCE you're screwed. As soon as that arrow flies by the enemy reacts and then it's all over.

the side missions are beyond stupid. i would be cool with them if you just went up to the board to get them like hunting and target quests. But they force you to listen to some random lame story about some dickheads problem. maybe if it wasnt a cookie cutter person with the same voice it wouldnt be so bad either.

they incentivize you into doing them for the money. The game has not been money friendly to me so i do these quests to buy ammo

 

[Maynard]

just finished the game

major spoilers

 

i chose the to save my friends rather than join citra. To me the ending was a fitting end to a lackluster story. It was such a forgettable ending that i really saw wasnt surprised that it ended without any real meaning at all. LT to save friends, RT to join Citra...i click LT and dennis comes up and accidentally kill citra with a knife that was intended for me. then the credits roll.

I enjoyed the trippy aspects of the story, but i thought at the end it that all that psychedelic nonsense would have some meaning to the story. what was the point to all these acid flashbacks and whatnot? nothing...that is the answer.

The story is really secondary to me. The gameplay in these missions was top notch. I loved the heli ride at the end with the apocalypse now music playing...that was a badass final mission

so, i dont have much interest in playing a game more than once...but when this ended i went looking for the new game plus option which is nowhere to be found. Really a dumb move to not include it. I unlocked every skill in the game and wanted to run through again with my badass guy against tougher bad guys. But it wont happen

by far the nest game i played this year

Sometimes relics are hidden in caves and whatnot, so when they show up on the map, it's actually below where you think it is. Search around for a cave opening.

i would imagine there is some sort of achievement for getting them. i couldnt imagine trying to get them all. how tedious would that be

If there is an achievement for it, Twigg will get it.

There is a trophy for finding 60 of them I believe. You don'thave to find them all unless you want the XP . But I'mpretty sure you can get more than enough by doing all of the missions .

Just used the bow for the very first time and it only took me two shots with the marksman scope to get the 70m trophy. Wasn't that hard.

Did you get it yet?

 

[Swarley]

Never tried for it b/c I don't give a rats ass about the trophy. If I need to kill someone from 70 meters, I whip out my suppressed sniper rifle.

I just watched a video on YouTube from PowerPyx who usually has the best trophy videos. But the problem is that the spot where he shows to get it, an outpost, I've already liberated, so it's no good to me.

The issue with getting that trophy, as I've stated before, is the varying terrain in the game. Sure you can use the Marksman scope but it's night impossible for that to be an accurate estimation because in all probability either you or your target is going to be higher or lower which completely throws off the calculation. In his video he lines it up perfectly because he's tanding on a rock, at the same elevation as the target. And it still takes him two shots.

It sucks because even when I think I have it estimated if you miss you're screwed because the enemy becomes immediatelt alerted.

Then why are you constantly mentioning that you need at least one Platinum? This game could be it.

Constantly mentioning? You mean like twice? Okay. And I think AC2 is going to be that game.

this is gonna be one of those achievements that everyone can get no problem but will take twigg a month of frustration to get

I only have the relics (34/60), letters (11/20), poker, and the dive more than 70m (which is easy as hell I just haven't attempted it yet), and the co-op trophies remaining. Hoping to knock all but the co-ops out today.

Who's down for some co-op late tonight or tomorrow?

BTW, you guys should read Hurk's four letters. You can thank me later.
