ugh. ok, special arrows are shit. thanks for ruining what should have been one of the neatest things in this game... the opportunity to be rambo.
FINALLY got explodey arrows... drove my car to where i needed to go, hopped out, ran a bit up the road, equipped explodey arrow, and took aim at the car... i was almost giggling with the joy i was about to experience...
I aim...
I fire..
*PAFF*
...explosion... smoke... yeah ok thats a bit underwhelming, but fine whatever... i tossed a grenade at a car once and it needed two grenades to get a decent explosion, so i aimed again... fired...
*PAFF*
FUCKING COME ON... smoke clears, cars not even damaged.. no smoke coming out of it, its pristine! (well as pristine as anything can possibly be on this shithole of an island...)
ok lets fire the rest of my explodeys and see if ANYTHING happens... brb...

ok FINE it exploded.
took FIVE EXPLODEY ARROWS. imagine if that shit happened to rambo.
and i dont even know if its the explosiveness that mattered or if its just arrow damage.
these arrows are lame as fuck (fire ones dont start fires so theyre worthless, explodey ones are weak as piss...)
special arrows need a buff!

That's a bit odd though, since the signature sniper rifle disables a vehicle (and gets it to burn  ) with just 1 shot to the engine.

The whole game felt lame at the end... full of wasted potential...
Since they didn't make (all) the same mistakes they did with FC2.. maybe FC4 will be almost perfect. But they really have to work on the repetitiveness (those sidestuff was mostly just achievement crap), stop wasting genius characters like Vaas (he's only got about 5 minutes of screentime and after watching the hilarious video series, Far Cry 3 experience, I expected way more... but no.. let's don't do that... idiots), work on the loot and especially balancing in general, to have somekind of gear progression throughout the game... exploring was totally unrewarding.
It was still a fun ride though. But once again it could have been so much more. That's what happens when publishers don't give enough time for projects like these (propably intentional because a FC4 is surely in the planning stages already, if they're not already coding).
I'm glad that I didn't cave in and buy it even though the hype was strong with this one.

so was i.. UNBELIEVABLY excited 
such a letdown. i wanted to blow up houses n shit, dammit. well maybe not  but atleast a car in a single shot, that'd be WORTH it, and would make for some real tactical fun... explosions but silent delivery... same with flaming arrows SHOULD be able to start fires.
i dont even know why ubi bothered with special arrows... theyre not worth the effort, id rather keep the molotovs and grenades. |

While I'm still having a lot of fun, I'm a bit disappointed with the gameworld. It feels really lifeless to me, not much happens. Even some scripted events now and then would be acceptable. The SQs are also so shitty, obviously basic additions to lengthen gameplay time.

I am loving the game so far! The intro was really good. I have a question though. How do I get binoculars?
Thanks!

a grenade doesnt either though, takes 2. |
not really the point... i dont want these arrows to be as good as grenades... i want them to be tactically useful, unique and worth the effort. i want them to do something COOL and bring SOMETHING to the game.
as it stands, they really are utterly useless... i base this on the fact that a rocket launcher or grenade launcher or, heck, just throwing a grenade, can do as good a job (or better) than these special arrows...
and im still reeling from learning that flaming arrows cant even be used to start bushfires...
like i said, these could have been such a great tactical tool to have. as it stands, im not even sure why the devs included them. ive found no real use for them, and every cool idea ive had on how i WOULD use them, have turned into failure because the devs unfortunately werent thinking along the same (cool!) lines as me  |

Why does the game remind me every few minutes I can either go to sunset cove or explore the island? Why is it so insistent? Usually you get such messages when a game is about to end.

That sounds lame. Haven't played FC3 yet, but in FC2 shit went BOOM. Countless times everything went friggin' BALLISTIC after some fire or a grenade. And the exploding arrows were about as powerful as a grenade, usually 1-hitting vehicles. And vehicles could 1-hit other vehicles if close enough, I had seen 5 cars instantly exploding, epic stuff. I really felt like John Rambo sometimes in FC2, epic gunplay.

Yeah, but you don't really see their symbol on the map, at least at the beginning. I too am looking for tapirs.
I lol'd at this one part. At the beginning when you need to kill a guy who's harassing this town, I'm making my way through the brush when I see a checkpoint of 3 baddies on a road. As I'm coming close to figure out how to deal with them, gunfire erupts up towards me and I hear one guy scream about a komodo dragon. Then silence. A pack of them wiped them out so not only did I get loot, I went after the pack and killed/skinned them. Automatic weapons and they couldn't even bring them down.

That crack sucks ass, because you have to tinker with that ubi online drm crap and English language files. |
Well it works perfectly for me and isn't hard if you know what your doing so im not sure how getting a game like a week or so before it releases in the USA "sucks ass" lol. |
Well it does, because there's another hassle free method I posted here. No need to login anywhere.

The messages are so stupid I can't even begin to imagine who would've thought this was a good idea. The game is basically calling me a moron every few minutes, urging me to get on with the awesome story. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the storywriters was responsible for this :lol: |
It's incredible stupid. Why not have the message come up ONCE (when reloading or restarting the mission instead of every 5 minutes). I really don't like being called a retard when playing games + it's fucking annyoing and distracting. Idiots. |
agreed. the game is trying really hard to break immersion unfortunately :-(
could really use a more minimalistic interface that's not so in-your-face with everything.
