Far Cry 3

I liked it. Passed it way too quick, But it was a good game, It wasn't really predictable on what would happen next. I rented it Saturday night, Played sunday during the day, and finished it on Monday. Still have it now, Gonna try and grab all the achievements I can before I return it to redbox.

With that fast forward option, you can skip from level to level fast, but it kills out stumbling upon the achievements as you play hunting for animals to hold more ammo ect..

Hang gliding all over the place blah blah, there is so many things to do aside from missions it can take up a lot of extra time where the game isn't completed in a couple days. I dont use the FF button unless Im going back to a home base to get more ammo. then I will skip back where I was, If you really explore on your way to the next mission it does become a true game of survival, all kinds of predators after you, especially when the sun goes down

found something i didnt like. I had killed some animals to make shit and then after making it it doesnt autosave. I ended up dying now have to do that over agian. This is one game where the accuracyt of the ak is perfect though. You cant hit shit with it.

I found that out too, if I make something really important I skip back to a home base to save, and fill it up with ammo or what not, then you wont loose it.

It is really easy to hunt a few different animals, craft a few important things, then get eaten by a tiger immediately after, lol

I just killed vaas and am on the new island. If you spend your time and play it all through it takes a good chunk of time. I've got all outposts liberated but havent done all the hunting and side missions in them. plus the blue exclamation points that are little side missions.

Anyone have good tricks for killing heavy's. I have the heavy takedown and use it when I can but when you face a few head on, a Molotov or flamethrower works the best for me..you can light them up and focus on other crap.

You can save from the in game menu when pressing start. You don't have to travel anywhere or do anything. just press start and scroll down to save. Or is it different on PS3 or something?

Anyone got attacked by a Alligator/Croc yet?

Something that always pisses me off is when you are sneaking around using takedown to liberate an outpost and a damn tiger or bear or somehting attacks you and forces you to reveal your position.

Exactly, I remember when Dead Island came out, I must have spent hours just walking around doing every single one of the side missions.

as I go from mission to mission I just explore, if I see animals I pause and see if its a skin of something I need to craft, if not I keep moving, the terrain is so complex, there is a lot to explore. I might spend an hour or more exploring an island to find relics, hunting, fighting off ambushes, activating a tower, before I even get close to the next mission point

You will also run into those health pack missions where you have to race an atv, dune buggy, or jeep through checkpoints to the drop site.

Then its a good thing I never used that option until after I was done with the game. I would drive to the next mission and get attacked/ambushed by pirates at least 3x on the way. But I played the main game first, now I'm doing all the side missions, I just liberated all outposts last night.

And to who was asking about the heavies, It was a Bitch/waste of ammo killing them until I found out the a land mine or C4 or an RPG will tear their shit up quick! LOL

Def a cool game, almost done with it, so now I find myself playing it just to play poker

Try a molotov or flamethrower or flare gun..it only takes a second or two with a flamethrower and they are up n flames and sometimes they keep shooting when they spin and kill some others with them. Heavy takedowns are cool too. My favorite is death from above.

Have fun killing them bears & leopards with a machete Nate.
