No bow? No silenced sniper rifle? You're letting the best in life pass you by. |

Having said that, if you really do want the absolutely maximum in mayhem I strongly recommend the Buzzsaw signature LMG. It's so good it's like a cheat code. |

I now have a bow, although it's fucking useless against rampaging animals, but I haven't managed the sniper rifle as yet. Getting a silenced one of them is pretty much when the game really begins for me, everything up to that point is really just a very long intro. |

I tried an LMG last night, but it wasn't As fun as I had hoped Bad point: Sometimes I am not sure where I am meant to go next. Eg, should I storm the first castle or not? Am I meant to?Are the crossed swords the main quests? |

Got to the point last night of doing The Sleeping Saints mission (the one where Pagan Min's troops are trying to blow up some statues) and fucking hell! There only seemed to be one way up to the mission start point which has you grappling up the edge of a cliff and plonking yourself right in front of the entire fucking army, who proceed to go mental. This also means a five minute timer kicking off which gives you that amount of time to get all the way up through a multi-level arena and stop the explosives. You don't have enough time to work your way up through the massive number of troops properly--especially when you factor in the snipers--so you're really left with no choice but to sprint through the level constantly battering the 'heal' button and hoping for the best. Once you get the timer sorted you're faced with all the troops you just ran past plus two fucking waves of reinforcements! Oh, and near the end a fucking helicopter gunship turns up for shits and giggles. Having stopped the timer I actually managed the troops themselves not too badly simply by running away from the main part of the level and finding an alternative way up that gave me some cover, but I don't habitually carry a rocket launcher with me so had no idea what to do about the helicopter. In the end I made the most incredibly lucky shot with my sniper rifle on the helicopter pilot and had the incredibly gratifying experience of watching the fucking thing drop out of the sky and explode, but it really was pure luck on my part. Indeed my entire experience with that mission was lucky break after lucky break and if things had gone slightly differently I'd have been totally screwed. The combination of large arena filled with troops, snipers at the top, a time limit making it impossible to properly work the area, two waves of reinforcements and then a helicopter is just a ludicrous challenge to stack against the player I think. The helicopter especially is a problematic because there's nothing to warn you to kit up with explosive weapons so you could easily end up totally fucked for taking it down. As I say, I actually ended up making it through pretty easily but as the dust settled and I thought it through it struck me as a pretty unfair and unexpected difficulty spike. I'd be interested to know what everyone else's experience was with that particular mission. |

hid on the first "step" and sniper rifled to two or three guards on the scaffold. Used grenade launcher to clear the next leek up from me and assault rifled the few that came down. Ran forward with molotov cocktails and grenade launcher and made it up to the top where I assault rifled a few. Shat bricks when the helicopter came but grenade launcher ed it. Mopped up with grenade launcher. It took me several goes though. You ate right it is a bit of a spike. To summarise: KA BOOM! |

Biggest gripes: Which mission is next?

The pros are a massively more |

Sometimes there are really well designed levels. you have to sneak through and not be seen. Get in and out like a ghost. Silently escape. Or, load up on healing potions and leg it. Seriously, "legging it through a rugby team of enemies" is a viable strategy Rather than doing what it wants you to. |

'Sprinting through like a fucking maniac and rattling the action button to trigger the end sequence' is surely the only sensible way to take on the Shangri-la levels? The first one was interesting and different but seriously, fuck those levels and their (seemingly) randomly respawning enemies. |

I've just about finished this having ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! 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 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. |

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. |

Post subject: | Re: Far Cry 4 |
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. |
