@Christmas hats on avatars
Is this a thing? I just now noticed them.

Yes.

You're not obligated to join us in doing so though

Couldn't get a hat to fit on Cobalt, so I used a wreath instead

Started up Far Cry 3. I wanna mess around but Far Cry's version of GTA's cops are really annoying. I know I'm supposed to hunt the animals with the bow and use the syringes so they let me get closer, but the progression system making these particular tools less effective is frustrating.

Thanks, but I've got an idea...

@Last
Been doing the same, only I decided to install a revamp mod (this one, specifically). Makes the grind really real, but also frees up a lot more inventory space and lets you change around guns more (mostly minor stuff but definitely gives you things to spend your obscene amounts of money on). Also, hunting animals with a bow is for suckers. Use an assault rifle, half a magazine to the face will take down a tiger. The desert eagle also works once you've bought one, though without an extended magazine you might get juked and then have to reload while being eaten by a bear. If it's an animal that runs away from you, use a sniper rifle to bop it before it notices you and starts doing the serpentine - might not even need to hit it in the head for a kill.

Yeah, but when I use guns I can almost hear the MGS exclamation noise as pirates yell about investigating. Also I'm playing on the 360. Got the game for 4$ in a bargain bin.

TBH I always kinda like it when the pirates come because then you get to fight some pirates without bothering to worry about being stealthy for stealthiness rewards. For quieter wandering pirate patrol pacification, though, you can duck behind a tree or into some bushes when they come to investigate the shooting, and then do takedowns. Alternatively, slap a suppressor on an assault rifle (IIRC the FAMAS/F1 and MS16 can use it, both of which are available immediately, as can the SMGs) and hunt in the serene tranquility only video game suppressors can create. If your bullets don't fly past a pirate's ear, they probably won't come looking.

[Guest]

Lacking those tools at the moment, I do have a surpressed Skorpion (What a waste of money) but it doesn't really do the job. It's cool the pirates come looking for you and all but I'm feeling a lack of freedom and it's strange given this is an open world game. I didn't have this problem with blood dragon.

[Frost]

Man, where's BAA when you need him? Little weirdo was obsessed with that game. 

Really, though, after I got a sniper rifle with a suppressor and the ammo-scavenging perks, the game was pretty much a breeze combat-wise. The camera is actually really useful when it comes to strongholds, really.

[Vinylshadow]

At least there's options

Stealth vs LEEROY JENKINS

Or is it Rambo?

[Guest]

I just wanna fuck around, they gave me a gun and then punished me for shooting it. Blood Dragon is what made me want to play this game and while I'm not very far in this doesn't seem nearly as fun.

Animals just seem to exist to slow you down, I've got like ten pouches I can upgrade, but there's no choices it's all linear. To me it seems the only difference between this game and another saying "go here, collect that" is instead of saying it they're nudging you. Doing it to carry another gun is something I can accept but there's no way I'm gonna upgrade all these things.

And the level tree... At first I thought you could upgrade Shark all the way then work on Spider or Heron. But after I bought the first Syringe in Heron I noticed the next one didn't unlock. I'm suspecting you have to unlock all the low level upgrades in each tree for the next one to unlock. Maybe it says it unlocks another way and I missed it though. It appears at least there's not even a choice there.

Think I'll just try and breeze through the main missions.

[Vinylshadow]

Play through the main game, then restart to dick around and try out the new stuff

Personally, I found the story to be the most best part of the game. It was a shame they killed off Vaas so early in (Easily the best character of the entire franchise), but the game still had a surprisingly compelling narrative to it.

Didn't like the exploration aspect too much though. The game simply didn't offer any interesting sights to behold; Most of the time it felt like I was just running over the same grassy hill again and again. Even on Ultra high graphical settings it just felt lacking in atmosphere.

The lack of indoor formations and buildings didn't help matters much either. Most of the caves and ancient ruins that could be explored extended roughly five yards indoors and then just stopped. How dull is that?

And as mentioned before, character progression was pretty cut and dry. Nothing really noteworthy in that regard. Fortunately the gunplay was pretty good though. The flamethrower especially was a lot of fun to use.

The real victims:

I call bullshit.

A 5.56 would just come out the back. The round would simply live out its days in the harsh sands of the Near East, remembering its moment of glory before vanishing completely, united as so many shinier grains.

Would you call that a fulfilling life? I wouldn't.

We should give these rounds a chance. Pit them against opponents that wear armour that could slow the round so it wouldn't fly out. Give your unfired rounds to the Chechens today. The fucking Spetsnaz will serve as a far better home.

[Frost]

But the Spetsnaz will just dodge the bullets with their fucking ninja flips and shit. I mean, from what I've heard from the average rock-eater on the street who's even heard the name, you'd think they were fucking Agents as trained by Leonidas. What chance do mere Chechens have, even if the Chechnyan Mujahideen regularly faces Special Forces soldiers from around the world and gives them a hell of a run for their money?

I know everyone on the forum has already harped on this, but every time you and Frost post consecutively, the more uncanny the resemblance becomes. Fucking Cylons...

The fucking Spetsnaz. The "fucking" is obligatory and mandatory.

According to my math, the Chechens are fucked. However, because the fucking Spetsnaz is composed of the souls of the damned come to pay penance for their sins, they are immortal. This means the bullets will have a home for eternity, nestled happily between a lung and a prostate. The fucking Spetsnaz fights so much that all that needs to be done is the relocation of rounds until every 5.56, .223 and 7.62 is jammed into a Russian zombie.

You'd be surprised how feared the Chechnyan Mujahideen are by...everyone.

In any event, the (Fucking) Spetsnaz' immortality is canon. The only way to end them is for a Ranger to kill them and devour the damned souls.

This is well-documented. It is fact. It even appears in R-Bat recruitment vidyas.

*refrains from making a certain remark*

So tempting...

[Frost]

Considering you seem to lack any sort of self-discipline or capacity for restraint, I can only presume that, by that, you mean you can't think of anything clever but want to be percieved as such.

That’s actually how the KKK isn’t prosecuted for hate crimes. They lug around a masochistic black guy to say how not-racist they are while they burn crosses and shit.

1. Well, that's what Guerilla warfare is for. Until the guys you're Guerilla-ing call fires in. Then you find out why Gorillas are endangered.
2. You're not far off. The Rangers' motto; "Rangers lead the way", is actually Old Bulvanian for "In the name of Ragnes, Lord of Wrathful Flame, thou art cast from your throne of Earth to the depths from whence thy ilk marched forth"

That’s actually how the KKK isn’t prosecuted for hate crimes. They lug around a masochistic black guy to say how not-racist they are while they burn crosses and shit.

I always assumed it was because they're lead by "Great Dragons" and "Grand Imperial Wizards." District Attorney's like "Motherfucker, I get paid a third of what I'd make in a private practice. Y'all don't bring me in to get hexed and sacked and pillaged and shit. Fuck y'all." (The DA, ironically, is also black)
