Yeah it was number 1 on the US daily charts until today where Minecraft got the number one spot again. Minecraft is just nutso though. And at least with top downloads through the dashboard, it seems to include DLC and Minecraft skins sell incredibly well.
Awesome,this is good to hear and Michael Biehn getting a lot of attention witch is very cool because of this game. But i do like how the game director went totally bonkers on this and said to ubisoft i want to make this. And i like it,give me more these kinda games because all those realism games these days are well a bit to mutch. This is pure fun.
I'm dying listening to it right now.
That end game sequence... GODDAMN. Just fucking awesome. What a ride.
...
oh, and pilfer as much as you can. i finished the main game, unlocked and bought all the upgrades/attachments and have over $17,000 left for body armor & ammo for screwing around...
Pun intended?
Yeah I had the same problem and some other people are reporting it on the Steam forums as well. Try disabling AA or Vsync if you have them enabled. I had AA set to 2x, turned it off and it cleared up the problem for me. Didn't really notice a difference in image quality either.
Freudian (slip) pun.

The end song is from the great movie "Miami Connection" about a band that also knows karate

Not getting the love for this. I mean it's not bad--well, the main missions aren't--but it's super repetitive (save a hostage, hunt some animals, liberate a garrison, or collect crap) and the art direction just seems like Far Cry 3 in the dark with neon lights on everything. Stealth is near worthless considering the weapon upgrades that quickly become available, plus the whole island just seems empty. The weapons and shooting don't feel particularly great either (save for the sniper rifle), though I do like the mobility Rex possesses. Game's just not for me I guess.
Pilfering guys gets you money. Or can you not find anymore enemies either?
I strongly disagree. I think it's one of the most competent shooter released in the last years.
It's excellent. Totally nails the 80's action movie climax tropes and is just plain badass.

Yep, same here. It was fun all the way, game is the perfect size. The only 2 real downsides for me are the helicopters aren't flyable (you wouldn't believe my disappointment when I carefully infiltrated a garrison to steal one but to no avail) and it's too easy even on Hard and everything (reticule, stealth meter, aim assist, etc...) off.
Same here... I stealthily took out the pilot, snuck up to the door of da chopper...

I was expecting a better "boss fight" at the end but what they gave us was good enough. lol so good.
I would talk about it but everyone needs to experience it themselves.
I played on hard, never died and failed a mission about 3 times in total, 2 of those being hostage rescue ones...

lol at the turtle side quest, that was great.
How many main missions do I have left? I just did the
It looks like they really improved their main mission design, it's still a little too scripted and corridor shootery but it seems more fun. The side missons are still not that good though, they're just too easy and formulaic
Did I miss it or are there no race missions? I really liked those in FC3
e: also, miss the wing suit but love no fall damage

you're getting close, maybe 1 left before the finale mission. It lets you know before you start. You can look in the game menu, it tells you how many story missions you've done, how many garrisons liberated, etc.
nope, no race missions.

Is there a day night cycle in this? I can't really tell.
I like the red sky but I wish it would cycle over to a light blue or something just for a change.

Nope, always night and this is something that annoyed me too. I actually miss the FC3 daylight lol.
Yeah, they seem to walk around in groups of three from time to time. Guess I'll do that then.
It's purple sometimes. I also could swear it was yellow at some point (maybe during a story mission). What it needs is neon cyber rain.
Is the song Against the Ninja? I love that song and the movie. Everyone should watch that movie. Haha.
I'm pretty early in the game because I haven't been able to play, but its really fun. Is controller better than kbm in here? I feel like I have to remember a lot of different keys, more so than regular FPSes

I finished BD then almost immediately started FC3 and am now about 8 hours in. I finally "get" FC3 now. Struggled when I first got it (just couldn't get a feel) but BD has me Far Cryin everywhere.

I thought it was obvious that the sky was turning from Red to Blue as you liberate garrisons.

i actually hope this gets people to buy Far Cry 3
the same gameplay mechanics are there, but even more expanded!i actually hope this gets people to buy Far Cry 3
As long as they don't expect any semblance of a good narrative.
Man, that shit was awful; ruined the entire game for me.
This game, however, has me by the balls and refuses to let go.

most fun to be had is with the garrisons, and there's a lot more of those there!
the story missions are actually the only bad side i can think about it, goddamn infinitely respawning COD-enemies...
Try Uplay.
Far Cry 3 is kind of awesome all the times except the times where you are involved in the plot or hunting missions.
That makes up a significant portion of playing the game, unfortunately. Every time Dennis says 'tatau' I want to reach through the monitor and punch him in the face.
It's on uplay. Buying off steam is actually a hassle because steam just gives you a key and then installs and boots up uplay.
