Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I?m half way thru the game. Does anyone know that when you drive jeep can you do third person perspective or not (on 360 btw). I mean it?s really awkward, not the mention that 95% of your time goes into driving to and from the mission.

No third-person in the game at all. It's all first-person.

I beat the game a month or so ago. I have to say, the ending's such as letdown it's not even funny. I've seen reviews praise the game for its story and I just have to scratch my head... what story?! The game has great interaction and some good environments, but the story is almost non-existent.

I really hated this game. I played it on a console so maybe that was it? But I really hated the whole concept of it. I hated the "open world-ness". I hated the diamond hunting. I hated the fact that it took 10 minutes to go from place to place. I hated the malaria sub-plot. I hated the dull characters. And most, I hated the AI. How do people start shooting at me if I'm 2 houses away?

Ok maybe im dumb, but i dont get it, i cant even pass the second mission, i die before i reach the point, i die of malaria, and when im about to take pills the can is empty, where i get pills or what should i do?

Perhaps you should visit a priest before you die. [/hint]

got the game a few days ago and I'm definitely enjoying the singleplayer, though getting from mission to mission can get annoying, you basically have to take out the same outposts over and over again. it's great how you can choose your own tactics and all, the AI is pretty good.

hated this game. i can't be tactical. they marketed this game as if I could choose to play it with an element of stealth. but the AI could see through walls.

diamond hunting is boring.

it takes 20 mins to get from place to place while guys are trying to kill me for not specific reason at the same time.

no thanks.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
