Am I the only one who almost never drive or fly with plane ?

I always fast travel / free fall with suits. Faster than anything

I pretty much fast travel and walk everywhere. Keeps the peggies off your ass and lets you take in the sights. I've been holding off on the free fall perk, seems like a lot of perk points for not much use.

Does anyone know if on the PC you can go back and complete side quests after finishing the game, I have a few things I wanted to finish off but when I click continue (on PC) it brings me to
the bunker
allows me to walk around for about 5 seconds then starts to roll the end credits.

EDIT: I sort of get why it can't pick off at the end however giving the ability to jump in just before the final mission would have been nice.

Does the game ever explain "Prestige"? Doesn't seem to mean anything at all, just some fancy text they put next to more expensive items.
Are you talking about the one you get as a quest reward? It's a side-arm, isn't it?
The M133 MS, the worst shotgun, and unlocks last.

The skin you get for the sawn-off shotgun (which I think you think I was talking about) makes for another skin that pads out the weapons list. D2 Sin Eater. At least it's a decent looking skin.

Don't feel bad.

It's the people who mass print and sell at conventions without copyright permission that are bad.

Yeah, I saw someone selling a cropped version on Redbubble..
I guess I'll check into getting it printed. I have a woman-cave with lots of game artwork. Usually I can just buy it from the source, but Ubi doesn't seem to sell much of theirs.

I fast traveled or use a plane/helo almost exclusively after completing my 1st region, and consequently missed out on *a lot* of the world building/story telling that's done through the radio broadcasts.

Beware!

Ah, yes. And agree on the other shotgun being fairly useless.

This is at the moment my favorite game for years. I just love how you can do almost whatever you want, and still make progress.
This game don't hold your hand at all, the freedom of doing missions you want, is really refreshing to me.

Just need to share my experience here. Started the game an hour ago and went through the "Tutorial" section. Finished it. At the very end, you're in a high place. I missed a ladder and fell to my death. Game saved mid-fall. Endless loading cycle now where the game reloads and I fall to my death (no opportunity to hit Start menu or anything). Deleted save. Restarting game.

Rest of the experience was really awesome, but wow I don't want to play through the Tutorial again. :/

I ran over Hurk during a Clutch Nixon race and his body slid all the way down the hill in front of me - like his corpse was racing my quad bike.

I'm enjoying the game but man everything is so aggressive. I feel like I'm constantly being attacked by wildlife which makes noise to grab the cultists' attention. Also fuck roads since apparently there's a cultist passing by every 5 seconds.

I hope the rate in which you get kidnapped decreases as you play, because it's becoming a frequent annoyance.

I miss a quest in Jon's region. Have 3 left to do and know 2 of them are the collectible nonsense, but can't find the third one. Can it show up later?

I'm enjoying the game a lot--lots of good dumb fun. Cutscenes are mostly snoozers, but the prepper stashes are delightful (I'm also a weirdo who enjoyed all the different ways they had you climb towers in FC4). My two biggest gripes:

1) The gun arsenal don't seem particularly exciting. I'm still using the first-available shotgun, rifle and sniper rifle and I've already taken out two of the leaders. It's also dumb how the premium/skinned versions of everything requires you to re-buy a sight, silencer, etc. Then again I remember tearing everything up with the sidearm grenade launcher in FC4 and that thing was way overpowered--just wish you could unlock some insane weapons towards the endgame.

2) I miss the "hunt X mountain lions to craft a bigger explosives bag" stuff. Hunting feels a lot less exciting. I really enjoyed going to specific areas and seeking out animals so that I could craft something new that would genuinely improve my arsenal.

That John Seed Wrath mission was some broken buggy bullshit. This is how I had to do it (because the plane always exploded and the game spawned me on the ground, and I had no nick and no rocket launchers):

I searched for more stationery machine guns. There is one in Falls End. So I go there. But the fuckhead is still flying kilometer away. So I…

browse the net for 10 minutes on my phone.

Then I notice the yellow BLINKING waypoint (which I had to enable in interface options for this mission, fuck you very much) is getting closer to me.

But the plane is nowhere. Only the blip.

Suddenly, around 200 meters away, the plane materializes out of thin air (LoD systems!).

I still cannot shoot at it, the machine gun cannot be raised in its angle.

Another 5 minutes of net browsing.

Then dear Johnny decides to attack me. So finally he flies at me and I can shoot him! Which I do, he crashes right next to my building.

I get down, and he is lying on the floor next to crashed plane. I loot him. Yellow waypoint still points to him. I proceed with WTFing.

Suddenly, he comes back to life! Like, he literally teleports from lying on the ground to standing and shooting at me, without any animation or anything. He almost kills me!

Fortunately, I manage to run around corner and heal. Then I go back and shoot in in the head a few times. Slow motion…

And touchy cutscene with a nonveiled reference to Trumpet in chief.

AMERICA, FUCK YEAH

Okay so I completed the main story and...
...hoping we were just tripping balls still from the bliss or there's another secret ending whereby you can prevent the nukes from going off. I mean I get that they wanted a shocking and depressing ending but it was still a bit meh. Also, who is even giving the orders and managing the nukes? At this point in the game, the cult is pretty much gone. Still though, the game is fucking awesome and now I get to do all of the side missions woooo.

Those nukes has nothing to do we cult. It start of nuclear war with Russia. Basically Joseph was right about "God's plan and the collapse" .

That sucks, The only thing I could say is to just run through the tutorial as quickly as possible because the rest of the game is pretty fun.

So I got max resistance points in my first region (I did Faiths first), How do I fight her?

I was thinking after maxing out a cutscene or something would kick off

Yup, had to bite the bullet and did it. The tutorial is really good... it's just not great for an immediate repeat playthrough. ;)

Playing the main game in co-op and loving it now though! Amazing visuals on the X1X!

Yeah great visuals. I am on the PS4 Pro but it's a good looking game for sure. I read in a review someplace that the engine is showing it's age. I am not seeing that age.

I thought the tutorial was good as well.

Wait is this the mission where you get the wrath trophy? I bailed out of that building and there is a machine gun placement right by the building. I killed a bunch of angels, a dog, and a helicopter and bailed from the area. Should I have stayed?

74hrs and 44minutes of dialogue in the game.

...yet my companions keep repeating the exact same line over and over and over and driving me nuts lol, literally have heard Jess comment to Hurk about him being all over the world like 50+ times now, it's insane had much it repeats an dhow quickly it does it, like every 5-10 minutes they'll say the same thing again and again.

Really wish they'd vary it up, at least know that they've already used it and not keep repeating it, I'd rather them just be silent at this point lol.

Enemy spawning and idle chatter in this game are both not good and not well thought out. From a design perspective it feels very clunky. At least the mechanics make the enemy spawning issue interesting. Unfortunately that is not the case for the chatter.

  1. Holy hell, you guys weren't lying about that PVP, good grief is it bad.
  2. Dialog repeating is bad also, just had Jess saying something over and over and over again.
  3. Did they do a Community Challenge yet? I thought I read that they would roll out on the 3rd but I can't find anything.

I'm looking for a PS4 player to run 3 prepper stashes with me for the Co-op trophy. It's all I'm missing for the Platinum. My PSN is AshamanX, hit me up if you have 10 minutes to spare. Update: Got it, thanks all.

Have to really give Ubisoft credit, my dog usually only freaks out like this when it is actual dogs on the TV.
Best part is I fast traveled to this location as it was near something, went to the bathroom as I did, and came back to him just spazzing out over Boomer. Tried my best to get it but did not anticipate how hard it would be to film and control the controller with one hand. Will probably have my wife help me get another so I can actually pet Boomer, as that is when he really freaks out.

I've been looking for a game to really put my new Xbox One X and 4k HDR TV through its paces. I know nothing about Far Cry, but I've definitely got my eye on this one.
