Oh no, FC3 was fine for it. I completed that and found it pretty good. Not the absolute best game I've ever played, but much better than FC2.

Still enjoying FC3. It feels like the pirate bots are getting smarter as [my] time progresses. I gave up on the bow and suppressed pistol, and switched to suppressed SMG. Not as quiet, but way easier and more effective. The bow seems terribly underpowered, like a kiddie toy. I used to shoot a real, 40-lb. compound bow, not super-powerful but it didn't have nearly the drop-off. The story missions continue to be meh, though the rescue + escape from pirate prison was ok. Too many cut scenes. Open world stuff is great though.

Chug along to FC4. It's the best and the brightest.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. 4 is actually on sale atm, but I better hold off lest ye keeper of the household budget takes a steel-edged ruler to my knuckles (besides, I bet it'll be cheaper next year).


I just watched the cia agent cut scenes -- SoF-grade garbage.

Missuses with rulers are never to be ignored and there's loads of playery goodness to be had from FC3.

But when the moment is right, you won't regret buying 4. Pick of the bunch IMO, though I do like scenery & stories.

Bah, the link doesn't go to the product page, a quick search shows me the EMEA version, currently on at £10.79 (I suspect the US version to have larger gun models, bigger noises and a yee-ha button).

Changing $12 into £ comes out at £9.09. Not a huge amount of difference, but it's more than I want to pay for a game. :C

Thanks anyway though!

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.
