Be Excellent To Each Other

I've got one more of them to go and apparently it's a fucking boss fight. Joy! Ugh.

I have done two and found some demons in the wild. are demons flammable?

22 hours in and I have still not unlocked North Tibet.

I've just about finished this having last night but I see there's allegedly still another campaign mission to do so I assume there's some kind of twist in the tail. One of my major takeaways is that there's genuinely just far to much stuff crammed into the game. I did a fuckton of side missions but my completion % is still only somewhere in the 70s and when I saw how much was still outstanding on the Progress screen before the final push I realised I didn't have the interest level left to complete it all. Which is a massive shame because I really enjoy going for the collectibles and clearing down the map and all that good stuff; but the sheer volume of stuff required to be done means that with 45 hours on the clock I really want to move onto something else and not spend another fuck knows how long doing the same stuff over and over again. I'm all for getting your money's worth but it feels like developers these days really don't know when enough is enough and all it means is that the lasting impression in your mind of an otherwise brilliant game can be soured right at the end.

And in relation to my last comment here: I tried the final Shangri-la level last night and it can so utterly get to fuck. A boss fight with no clear idea what you're doing in an arena with randomly spawning enemies with a set design purposely intended to make stuff difficult to see. Yeah, see: no.

Also I'm a bit annoyed because I only had one final Kyrat Fashion Week quest to do to complete all my upgrades and the fucking thing didn't show up on the map. I presume that's just a glitch because all the other ones did which is a really pain in the ass.

I stumbled across this SPOILER FILLED thing while looking for a video of the GTA V gravity gun mod:

I finished this. I really enjoyed it but it was a bit easy in the main.

The Buzzsaw is probably the bestest gun I have used in any game for a while though. An LMG with insane accuracy and damage and it reloaded quick. WIN.

The Buzzsaw was so good it was pretty much cheating.

i did a silenced load out with stealthy results.

Finished the campaign I think. Superb.

You think? It's very obvious when you do, what with the credits and everything.

After that it said I had another castle to topple. So I have been doodling about in the NoddyCopter ripping up posters and collecting masks.

I seem to remember not being 100% sure whether I'd finished it or not either; though I'm struggling to remember exactly why I was confused now. For some reason though I definitely suspected there was more to come after completing Min's compound.

Good points:

Pagan Min - superb character, well written and acted
Bases - Good variety encouraging different tactics
Lighthouses - Good puzzles
Mission giving characters were good, too.
Missions were decently tricky in places

Bad points :
Shangai la levels were not as fun as they could have been
Hunter enemies under used
Heavy enemies over used
Helicopters were a pain until buzzsaw
Buzzsaw


Overall, it is super great good and I would recommend it. I look forward to the next one.

You appear to have missed "Kyrat" from your "good points" list.

Oh yes, the map was superb.

It is very obvious when you finish... you have a nice sit down chat with Pagan Min.

The major down point for me was the fucking ludicrous amount of collectibles littering the map. I like have pointless stuff to collect after the end game but if you've got too much of it you know you'll never pick everything up so you just stop giving a shit entirely and FC4 went way, way past that point. FC3 had a much better balance.

It's rather obvious when you finish because it says "FIN" on the screen and plays The Clash.
