This game is amazing. Got 3 days vacation on Wed last week, so I was able to put in a good 48 hours roughly into the game :)

Pretty far I'd think. 2nd Island open and almost all explored, and almost had all the guns and craftable items.

I love the squirrel suit. Almost any hill I find, I try to use it, which usually end up with me face planting, which is too funny.

I love how random EVERYTHING is. I can easily do a mission undetected, or just go balls to the wall with fire and bullets.

Once while attacking a group of guys, another group of dragons came roaming out and decided I needed some help... I let the lizards live :p

Another time, had a cheeta chasing a deer as I was just perched above a river on a rock. The cheetah caught the deer near the water, then an aligator caught the cheetah. Was way to intense.

Anybody else think LMG' are overpowered?

I use that as my anti-animal weapon on my stealth setup. Basically I run with a silenced sniper rifle, the bow, a rocket launcher (just in case I need to disable a vehicle) and a LMG.....whenever a tiger or leopard sneaks up on me (or is getting too close for comfort), I break out the LMG and kill them before they can move. I rarely every use it against human enemies though.....only when there are lots of them inside my comfort zone and aware of my presence.

That being said, I'm fairly confident I could charge into any camp I've seen with a LMG and kill all the enemies before they could hit an alarm if I wanted to, so yes it does seem maybe a bit overpowered but whatever, I don't use it that often.

The SPAZ Shotgun is similar, I just storm around a camp or outpost. The only issue I have is with the heavy soldiers, but some C4 sorts that out :D

I find the spaz useful when I stumble across a vehicle heading my way, just jump out and rip of a few spaz shots.

Like, Silenced Sniper. Watching released caged Animals clearing the outposts. Sniping drivers in moving cars, The weed mission. Dying while raiding a camp you start with same Ammo on respawn.

Dislike, how Squirrelling across a outpost, your health disappears Instantly while being shot at,.

Anyone notice the

reference. " I'm glad I'm not on the island with the dinosaurs " or is it reference to

Game has about 15 solid hours of gameplay without the sidequest, and with a little hunting to increase your backpacks. Great game though, and I'm still playing it after I beat it.

This will be my first Far Cry (I know, I know), so after the main and side quests are done there's still plenty to do? or.."reset"/"new game"?

Epic game, just about done now just a few odds n ends to clear up. I would recommend people to try their darndest to leave outposts til the end of the game when you have all of your perks, cause it's no fun when you've just got all the best takedowns and weapons and then there's no more outposts to do as I found :/

Just now trying to do the mission where you must photograph dead soldiers, beginning to think it is more of a trial of wingsuit discipline so far more than anything else as I just keep getting so bored I try to wingsuit and end up dead.. Tried 6 times now..

Anyone on PC want to do some coop? I'm finding it very hard to find anyone reliable to play with, let alone anyone that communicates and/or plays for the team and not him/herself.

Uplay is LordLOC or Steam is just LOC. Add me if you wanna get some insanity coop going on PC :)

Everyone still loving the game after having it for some time? Any rough estimate on how long it took you guys to "beat it" - as far as the main story goes. I am pretty sure this is sitting under the tree for me I'm just having to wait, very impatiently.

It took me 27hrs to complete the game and you can play past the ending, so there's more to do. You could probably blast through the main mission is about 10-15hrs, so it just depends how you want to play it. Next I've got to try the co-op.

Yeah, I'm always looking for decent co-op friends. What timezone are you in? I searched for LOC on Steam but lots of results came up. If you want to add me just search for "theyarecomingforyou" - my profile name is "[1381] Jonas". :)

I don't know why people wants to ditch uPlay, I bought the game on steam and it doesn't bother me one bit. Never had an issue.

I don't see any need for it, nor does it particularly bother me. It's much less annoying than GFWL for starters.

New to series, just got it and finished my first few quests; questions:

1) Is there a "quest log" of sorts, or is it one quest at a time (including side stuff) where I'm looking to turn in my first hunting quest but will accepting a new one cancel this? Is there a menu I am missing to keep track of this?

2) I am looking to turn in a side quest to an NPC, but he is not located/showing up on the map to mark as a waypoint (Dr. Earnheardt).

I'm dumb :rolleyes:

Will there be any DLC for Far Cry 3? I am aware of the pre-order "DLC" missions "Lost Expeditions" and the PS3 exclusive "High Tides" Co-Op DLC, but will there be more? Hoping for many more missions, both side and story related, possibly an island addition? Is the series known for this type of content?

I ask because I am taking FC3 super slow, doing EVERY side mission, crafting / hunting constantly, collectible collecting zone-by-zone in almost a "WoW-like" fashion of quest hubs (some of you should understand the analogy). Currently only 5 radio towers and 6 or 7 outposts with many crafting items approaching or at their max level (no special syringes yet though). Just now going to see Dennis again with only the top half of the north island explored.

@8 hours of play, so yes, super slow and lots of hunting haha

Island addition / expansion DLC please! :)

    • Classic 7 is Windows 10 LTSC cosplaying as Windows 7

      Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
