The opening scene/mission where you have to escape a camp chock full of heavily-armed pirates by being super-sneaky without getting shot in the back, kind of set the bar much, much higher in terms of challenge and intensity than any ensuing gameplay (thus far) has met.<br /><br /> 2. The open world aspect is both a strength and a weakness, in that it encourages meandering from one too-easily won firefight to the next. About the only challenge in all this are the animals, which are a pretty interesting threat. However they are (mostly) easily killed with any automatic weapon.<br /><br /> 3. The business of needing to "craft" your own "holsters" to open additional weapon slots. You can't shove a pistol down your pants? (NJ)<br /><br /> 4. It doesn't seem possible to select the big-ass knife you are handed by the black dude that is available for e.g. stealth takedowns, when you are confronting attacking animals.<br /><br /> 5. I've turned on 3 radio towers thus far. None were guarded.<br /><br /> 6. "Your wallet is too full to hold any more money. You need to craft a bigger wallet."<br /><br /> 7. I've done a fair bit of swimming. Though I've seen a few sharks in the water, none have attacked me.<br /><br /> 8. Enemy gunmen mostly let you get the drop on them. Even when they open fire first and manage to land a few shots, you can just duck behind a rock, put a bandage on your wrist or pop your knuckles, then blow them away while they stand around shouting threats. Also usually very easy to flank them, as they frequently cluster in groups instead of spreading out.<br /><br /> Still think it's a very cool game though, and plan to play lots more. Gotta get a damn holster.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42180.14&return_msg=42180.11" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42180.14"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42180_15"></a><div class="message" id="message_42180_15"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: koswix<span class="message_time">11 Jun 2018 20:26</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 11 Jun 2018 23:35"></span></span> <span class="message_count">15 of 96</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42180.15">42180.15</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42180.11#a42180_14" target="_self">42180.14</a></div> <div class="message_body"> They mostly would apply to 5, tbh.

Fucked if I could hit the broadside of a barn with it, wound up using an AR, then killing all the pirates too. OK, after they killed me first.<br /><br /> Interesting thing: if you get an animal skin then die right after (even if you craft something with it), you lose the skin/crafted item and have to start the hunt over. BUT, you get an automatic ammo refill, so you don't have to go back to the coke machine (are we sure this isn't in America?).</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42180.17&return_msg=42180.11" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42180.17"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42180_18"></a><div class="message" id="message_42180_18"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">12 Jun 2018 23:20</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">18 of 96</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42180.18">42180.18</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I'm finally getting the hang of this bow and managed to kill a few pirates with it on the storm the beached freighter and get some radio code bullshit mission.
