Unless humans take more than 3 shots with a sniper it's a valid complaint.

Yeah, I'm only half happy with it. I should have originally gone with
Sex, Drugs, and Shark Skin Wallets. I dunno..
Perhaps the mods have a better one?

DO NOT FUCK WITH LEOPARDS
Mission: Kill a rare leopard with a bow.
The hunt starts at 3:45 to 9:46
This sequence is absolutely hilarious....This had me in tears!!
EDIT: HAHAHA, Holy shit...make sure to watch until the end. Leopards are not to be fucked with.

I love the how the leopard that kills him 4 times before sneaks up on him right as he's about to kill the black leopard

When was the last time a wild animal tried to kill you with an assault rifle?
I think you'll find that in many(most?) games that feature both ranged and melee enemies that melee enemies have tougher armor and/or higher HP than the ranged attackers.
In context the durability of the wildlife could be perfectly fine in terms of balance.

Here are the official forums: http://forums.ubi.com/forumdisplay.php/117-Far-Cry-3-Discussion
Lots of activity. The hottest topics seem to be:
Not able to share single-player maps you've made with others
No vehicles in multi-player
Surprisingly nothing about the HUD on the first page, let's try to change that?
Nevermind there's a huge topic about the HUD here: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/709553-HUD-still-ruining-the-imersion-level
Hopefully Ubi has seen it, I'm sure some devs read the board.

Stolen from there:
Mini-map [ON] [OFF]
Hit Indicators [ON] [OFF] - (the enemy detection arrows)
Objective Markers [ON] [OFF]
Object Highlight [ON] [OFF] - (e.g. the glowing/flashing dead animals)
Hint Pop-ups [ON] [OFF]
XP Pop-ups [ON] [OFF]
Enemy Tagging [FULL] [MINIMAL] - ('Full' would be as it currently is, i.e. wallhack + orange skull icons, 'Minimal' would just be red dots on the map/mini-map).
This sounds perfect. Anyone familiar with programming want to comment on how difficult these options would be to add? Even just a few of them

Those unfiltered pixelated blades of grass when he's being mauled to death.
Not complaining, the game looks great especially considering draw distance, size, unified lighting and whatnot.
Yes, those leopards take a few too many bullets, but at least they don't run the fuck away from grenades like they knew they're going to explode like felines did in one of the latest tomb raiders ;D
Yeah they don't sell it in the US. So I, a Swede, can buy the Deluxe edition for $40 (yes, we pay in dollars on GMG which is awesome), but US Americans can't buy it at all. That's kinda weird!
Yes please. The intrusive HUD will diminish my enjoyment of the game, please let me turn that shit off...
About the programming, seeing as Durante managed to hack out the UI in Dark Souls, I can't see it being that much of a problem for the people who made the game... the biggest problem would be having to QA the whole game all over again with different HUD options. I'm hoping for modders to fix it.
Kind of awful, rather.
Can't buy it from GetGamesGo either since I'm a dirty American, so I think I will just wait and hope that the deluxe version gets discounted a bit during the Steam Winter sale.

Steam?
UPlay!
Question about this game, its available in France today (Ive found that French game stores do not obey release dates, they seem to release them as soon as they get them in their shipments)
Anyway back on topic, its available in France, however, I assume this is a French copy. As I prefer to play my games in English, do you think there will be an install option where I can choose my language for this game (English)? Alternatively, would it be possible to register the game with steam then simply download the English version through steam, although I don't see it listed as a registered steam game which would make this impossible.
Lastly, if neither of these are possible, is there somewhere I can see on the back of the box all the available languages for download? I know when I installed games off of a cd back in Canada normally I'd have a multitude of languages to select from when first installing the game, I just want to make sure its the same here in Europe.

Most games aren't known for their commitment to realism.
Everything on low, bad ending, no side missions.
From the footage I've seen, nothing to drool over but by console standards it does not look bad at all.

My i5 750, 560Ti, 8GB PC is trembling. Still, I suspect it will be a far cry better than X360 even on low settings.

You really suspect those specs will result in low graphic settings? I have similar specs, I don't want to play on low settings goddamnit!
I have no idea why some people think you have to max out the game on PC to make it look better than the PS360 versions...
It would take a very ancient rig to run the game worse than the consoles. Even at low/medium setting the PC has the edge because of the IQ.
You can lower the resolution and crank up the settings consequently. Why are you believing you will have to go for low settings ?
The PC version offers a wide range of settings, it's for you to decide what you value most : graphics or resolution.
I don't think this has been posted yet but on the issue of the HUD... https://twitter.com/Acccent/status/273356219522088960

I want this game, NOW!
This is when Modders get it done within a week.
Fuck that, by that time i've already stopped playing this game and moved on to Metal Gear Rising.

I tried to switch to the Irish store but it didn't work, they just re-directed me to the UK one. I'm not sure what the deal is, I'm trying to pre-load now but can't find the link. Nothing on the uPlay client either.
I've got a 9 letter "digital rights" code from Ubi customer support which I presume unlocks the game. Maybe I can just use any client to install?
e. Ubisoft forums are useless. My guess is I won't be playing this weekend ._.
It's your job to PM a mod
Just noticed this screenshot that I have not seen before:
I wonder if we can actually climb up to the top of that rocky outcrop on the horizon? Or do you think it is just for show?
IIRC, you can go anywhere on the islands. There's a couple peaks I climbed that didn't have clear roads to get to the to, so you have to explore a bit to find the spot to advance via jump+sprint.

Neither is this one. Keep trying.
If you want to keep the stance you'll have a wonderful time explaining the science behind things like:
Tattoos that give you special abilities.
Bandages that will heal anything, almost instantly.
How the enemy bullet always hits you in the same spot in the same arm.
Fast travel.
A backpack that holds a lot of weapons, a backpack made of uncured animal hide and has zero weight.
Fast weapon switch.
The ability to survive multiple shark/alligator attacks with no training whatsoever.
Health bars that regen partially/fully
Quest markers, magical ammo counters, most of the HUD, etc.
Far Cry isn't playing the "realism" card and as far as I can tell never has.
If it were "real" those packs of aggressive wild animals would have been hunted to extinction long ago. You wouldn't have to quibble about how durable they appear because they wouldn't exist at all. I'm pretty sure the intersection of the Vicious Pirate and Animal Protectionist groups is very small.
Copy arrived.
Going to do a 2 hour live stream sometime today and then loads of videos. Any requests for videos?
Can you please cover the skill trees in detail?
I was referring to Far Cry 2. I would like to know about all these shooters that are more realistic (other than maybe Arma 2.)
