Mister Jack Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 I'd say about when they got rid of that PC DRM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomTervo Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Ubisoft's patching the much-complained-about pop-up notifications. Actually the patch will let you turn off all UI elements individually if you wish. When did Ubisoft become an awesome publisher? I haven't even played the game but YESSSSSSSSSSSS One of my favourite features a dev can put into a game. Loved it in Assassin's Creed: turn everything off once you've mastered the game, get immersed in the world, unreal. Loved it in Dishonoured: tweaked the shit out of the UI until it basically looked completely bare, but had a very translucent crosshair which you only notice if you really have to aim, and a fading health/ mana bar. So I can take in the gorgeousness without any inhibitions, and the gameplay mechanics aren't comprimised. Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed they might make some of the confirm messages in the inventory menus go away too when selling things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 I don't mind the pop-ups, just that the little (!) doesn't go away. And yeah it'd be nice to have a "disable shop warnings" option as once you hit a certain point you don't want to be keeping hold of your dog skins, just stuff like tiger skins and shark skins (and the unique skins).

CorgiShinobi Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Alright, I'm somewhat interested in this game, but I have to ask. Are the antagonists, especially "Vaas," even that good of villains? I mean, that guy is the poster child for the game, and I swear it's like Ubisoft wanted to make a Handsome Jack for their game. I understand though that he's not the main baddy, but still, you have to get invested if your character is suppose to go on a wild rampage, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I'm halfway through and Vaas is seeming to be like Vader to another dudes Palpatine. (very minor) Though the true villain is you. (somewhat big, don't click unless completed game or fine with spoilers. I came across this one cos I stupidly read spoilers, but don't much care. In a way it adds to the lead up so might be wroth checking.) It's still a VG story, you don't exactly even meet him that much either. But his VA goes all out, which at least is worth seeing.

Mister Jack Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Well, Vaas is not especially "deep" compared to some other villains, but he's quite compelling. In fact, just about every bad guy on the island is a completely unrepentant monster you will want to murder with your bare hands. Seeing that they're slavers who kidnap and sell people just for the money, a thing which is still very much going on in the real world, it's pretty satisfying to excise those cancers of humanity. I've felt more remorse over shooting zombies than these guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Began the game last night. The most challenging aspect so far was finding a goat to gain another weapon slot. Considering I'm given grenades, molotavs, C4, and mines early on, I can't feel that helpless when a jeep of enemies spot me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 You are aware that the map does show you the general location of each animal species, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yeah, but then you have to find said animal. While I first found them fine, I was also fighting off enemies. After dealing with three vehicles, it was like the goats just left the island because even with Hunter's Instinct they had completely vanished. Kept finding tons of rabid dogs, but finally I found three goats walking under a cliff. I may have to just kill animals as I see them rather than if I actually need them currently.

Waldorf and Statler Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Jack: Once in a while it might say that the are has tigers and then you have to walk around that square area for like 10 minutes till a tiger spawns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I dunno, I mean when I used the crafting syringes it was pretty easy for me. The only animal I ever had a lot of trouble finding was the shark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Never had a problem with sharks. Deers were a pain because you kill one and all of them go off in different directions. Then after chasing down another for its skin, you've forgotten where that other dead animal was (or maybe it slide off a cliff). Anyway, I've got almost every expansion with the exception of the Man Eater Shark. I haven't unlocked that side mission yet, but killing the black leopard with an arrow was the hardest thing I've done in the game so far. Even with that syringe animal killing boost it took three arrows if they didn't hit the head. Edited February 1, 2013 by Atomsk88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Oh I remember that damn leopard. Yes, it's not just you. Killing it was a bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Alright, I'm probably going to find the answer after some digging, but is there a way to make jumps and NOT take damage? I decided to quit in the middle of that ancient underground fortress mission, but what I did play of it had me losing my upper most health slot because jumping to another platform caused damage. I get the sense that those behind the game wanted some sort of survival realism, but I truly favor a shooter where I can at least do standard jumps without consequences.

deanb Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I'm pretty sure one of the tattoos minimises/removes fall damage. But been a while since I last touched FC3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 So what ever happened to that patch to turn off HUD elements? Did it happen and I missed it, or are Ubisoft being Ubisoft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 There's one that does reduce fall damage, which I have, but I imagine the perk allows me to regenerate to full health rather than going pass a full slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 So... this is fucking amazing. I am so buying this day one. Really glad this is standalone because I haven't gotten around to buying Far Cry 3 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoStarr Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Beat me to it. OH MY GOD. There's already a bunch of leaked gameplay footage on YouTube. It's more or less a completely different game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 It sounds like the gameplay is largely the same. Just a completely different style and aesthetics. What didn't you like about FC3, though? I haven't played it myself but I've been hearing nothing but praise for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Too much of the same without any compelling content to make me want to keep playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
