Huh?

 

Looks like it's a 60% off deal, but it was already at £26.99 here. I get this link:

Stuff I did this weekend:

- killed a bear with a shotgun (3 blasts, mauled in between)

- killed two heavies by shooting them in the back of the head with a sniper rifle

- killed another heavy up close and personal with two grenades and about 50 AR rounds

- captured a bunch of forts

- killed several manhunt dudes with the knife

- got a an F1 AR, which is almost as as good as a sniper rifle (except it uses 3-round bursts)

- got an MP5K SMG

- all my guns are now suppressed, except the shotgun

- ran jumped and climbed all over hell's half-acre.

I'm fucking exhausted!

Remind me, are the heavies the guys in the welding mask helmets and wearing body armour?

I'm not sure if I'm confusing them with some of the guys from Rage.

Yeah they are. Apparently some rare ones (later in game?) have full helmets you can't shoot from behind.

Man, there's a whole new game waiting for you in the sneak button.

Where is it? Sneaking up on these bots is too easy. Also, they're near-sighted AF.

You're probably using it already, by the sound of it - the crouch button (ctrl, I think, without sparking it up to check).

Your description sounded so gung-ho, I thought maybe you were going in with all guns blazing.

PS. Can't remember if it was implemented in FC3, but by 4 Ubisoft introduced a menu choice to re-baddie all the enemy outposts.  Adds a lot of playability.

Suppressed sniper rifle !== all guns blazing (though sometimes ya gotta). Yeah I spend a lot of time crouching. Game needs a prone.

Burn the dope mission is bitchin' hard. A welcome change.

Flamethrowers! :D

Why can't all those fuckers let me burn their dope in peace?!

Odd: I walked it. And stumbled through many others. It's teh horses for courses thang, I guess.

My base-capturing method is to snipe until pirates are manageable numbers then move in. Not working in this one as they seem to spawn out of nowhere and swarm me. I have made it to the fishing village after burning all the fields before being overwhelmed. Actually I was down to the heavy last try, should have switched to the flamethrower. I read a walkthrough for a more plausible approach, also may try a different loadout as the F1 seems a tad lightweight for the task.

My greatest pleasure is to snipe from a distance until there's just the boss(es) left, then move in with the melee weapons. I feel I've missed my true vocation.

FC3 is a bit thin on the melee weapons as compared to Dead Island. Still, the pirates have an edge on zombies for being truly dangerous. Anyhoo I used the same method then torched the heavy with the flame thrower to finish. Now I'm stuck in a frog pond trying to keep a helpless ninny alive and it's pissing me right off.

Well, it went all Indiana Jones.

The story? Have you completed it then? ISTR two endings, one which was violent. The other was violent and a bit blue.

No, haven't finished. Finished the cave o' Chinese treasures. Haven't made it to South Island yet. Looking forward to more base captures there. The story mixes up some decent firefights with hokey cut scenes. Like many a video game.

Liking my current load out with an m4 AR (non-auto), shotgun, shredder SMG and suppressed sniper rifle with high- power scope.
