Here's a quicklook:

The reviews are coming in positive, with the point being made that the game undercuts itself and tries to have it both ways by alternately playing it straight and then commenting on its own idiocy.
the fact that you can throw ninja stars to take out other dudes when doing close-up melee kills shows how dead-on the game can be, tho. I want the soundtrack.

Demo installing as we speak

Yeah, I'm downloading the game from Amazon tonight. Weird that the serial number won't activate the game on Steam, and uPlay is a dumb enough service not to have that option either.

i liked it as an idea, but im not sure its going to hold together as a game. tbf, the demo is crazy short and basically cuts off in mid sentence. really funny though. shooting/aiming is pretty irritatingly unforgiving.

i think that's a feature, not a glitch :)

Yeah, the double bird shooting is part of the game. If you hit the melee attack button with no immediate target, it flips the bird. Keep hitting it and there you go.

ace. what i really want is a sequel/extra dlc for blood dragon. such an amazing game that, one of my all-time top 10

anyone played this new one yet? been looking forward to it all year, will be gutted if it's not as good as 3 or blood dragon
― NI, Saturday, 15 November 2014 04:33 (nine years ago) link
good this, tho a bit buggy. not quite as wow as 4 or BD, yet anyway, but still great

and that's my detailed in-depth review of far cry 4
is this one as uh racist as 3?
― adam, Monday, 17 November 2014 14:45 (nine years ago) link
yeah it's pretty racist. not as hateful as eg gta5 (it's not gona stop me playing it) but yep it's peppered with lame dialogue & lazy writing
― NI, Monday, 17 November 2014 18:41 (nine years ago) link
loving this. no one else in the whole wide world of ilx playing it?

― adam, Monday, 8 December 2014 01:25 (nine years ago) link
i'm working my way through it at the moment on ps4. i loved far cry 3 and i feel like i should be enjoying this more than i am so far. i've put about eight hours into it, mostly just roaming around unlocking bell towers and raiding enemy compounds.
it's largely been avoiding the horrible story / characterisation pitfalls that annoyed me in fc3, thankfully, but i wish the gameplay had been updated a bit more along with the setting - it's very similar mechanically to fc3 which is making it a bit harder to love. helicopter / wingsuit / elephant adventures have undeniably been a lot of fun, though.
i think i might be getting tired of ubisoft's schtick - having also played watch_dogs and ac: black flag this year i've overdosed a bit on map unlocking, secret item uncovering, base-raiding and all the other stuff which is shared between their games.
― bizarro gazzara, Monday, 8 December 2014 11:14 (nine years ago) link
i never gelled with watch dogs and got bored halfway through black flag too. can kinda see this happening with fc4 but every time i get a bit weary they throw a new thing in that gets me going - the mountain missions are great for that. not quite as awesome as fc3 (and definitely not as much as blood dragon) but i'd say it's one of the better games from a pretty humdrum year
― NI, Monday, 8 December 2014 18:10 (nine years ago) link
not really interested because it seems so similar to FC3, which upon completing gave me a sense of 'huh, kinda wish i hadn't spent so many hours on that'.
i do love doing stealth takeovers of the bases, that's the only part that's tempting.
― festival culture (Jordan), Monday, 8 December 2014 18:15 (nine years ago) link
I was playing FC3 last night and I had a falling-through-the-world glitch happen. I was swimming to some treasure and when I looked up there was no land but I could see trees, they were just hovering in mid-air. Then the land started taking shape, but it looked like it was all transparent. I was stuck under the water, and my character was gasping for air, and it was really horrifying. I tried to get away but was still stuck, though with the land being all transparent, it was like I was a ghost or something. Eventually I feel through the ground and the sky appeared below me and the entire world was upside down. By this time the game was stuttering so I had to shut it off.
The stealth takeovers of bases is definitely the best part of these games. Too bad that once you do take over all the bases, there are no more enemies to fight, so you're just running around an open world with this massive arsenal and all your combat upgrades and have no one to fight.

there are couple of places where the enemies respawn - like the airfield, I think (haven't played it for ages so I might be wrong)

been messing with far cry 3 some more. i've taken over all the outposts and synchronized all the towers, is there anything else to do in this game that is fun? nb the story is too stupid and i don't plan on finishing it.

Fuck everything about this game but the gameplay. Fuck especially the 5+ minute idiotic fucking obnoxious garbage unskippable cutscenes that bookend every single fucking mission and the infuriating fucking radio DJ whose 15 minutes or so of unfunny obnoxious ninnying you're forced to hear over and over every fucking time you get into a fucking vehicle and that you cannot turn off or change the channel on. Who the fucking hell ever heard of a talk radio station in an open-world video game that you can't turn the channel on or even turn off and is playing in every single fucking vehicle. I would gladly pay $10 for DLC that removed every single narrative aspect of this goddamn game. Fuck u Ubisoft
― antexit, Monday, 19 January 2015 03:21 (nine years ago) link
chill, chief. you can turn the radio off. not sure which format you're playing on, but on PS4 you hit up (i believe?) on the d-pad.

These Golden Path fucks don't do much except stand around waiting for this here random tourist to win an entire revolution for them single-handedly. If I don't end up running the place after I kill the final boss dude I won't be pleased.
Favourite moment so far was taking over an outpost by repeatedly throwing bait into it to attract tigers and bears. I didn't fire a single shot.
