HRAA rly is amazing. definitely makes the ps4 version the one to beat graphically.
Noticed it anywhere else? It may be your console audio settings. If you don't have surround sound double check it isn't set to 7.1/5.1 as this can cause some audio to be muffled.

I think it needs a fuel amount or something, its makes a lot of the game far to easy. Doing towers for example in a buzzer is just simple, you fly to one and land on the top, if there are enemies on it,/near it then a few grenade launcher shots gets rid of them.
I am using the headphone jack in the controller. It was working fine, then I did the story mission where
you go to shinath arena
I think adding fuel to it would be just annoying. For me using the gyrocopter is just a choice. I don't want to make it too easy on myself so I go with a different tactic. But if I just wanna fly around and have fun it would have annoyed me if I had to fuel it every now and then.

Quick question; how do you access co-op in the game and is there a certain point you need to play up to to unlock the feature?

I don't see how a fuel limit prevents you from landing on top of towers. Not to mention it would severely restrict range of the Buzzard which would make navigating the map just a huge pain in the ass.
If you feel like landing on top of a tower is too simple and easy, then why do it in the first place?
You unlock co-op after you liberate the first outpost [via story missions]. It unlocks after you meet Hurk.
Happened to me 2 times also. It actually fixed itself after going inside a safe house and coming out, dont know if that is what fixed it though, could be something else.

Awesome. Thanks! How soon after you do that first radio tower mission early on do you unlock that?
Never land on steep ground. The gyro-copter will roll downhill once you get off.
Also there is always a gyro-copter available early in the game in one of the outposts near the Golden Path's village.

I'm fairly sure it's
two missions
It's super early in the game.

so last night i jumped in a gyrocopter and started flying north towards the mountains...
the map is enormous! Ended up attacking an outpost way way way north with my hand held grenade launcher... things started well, but I quickly got shot down, crashed near the outpost, and got swarmed by much more powerful enemies than i'd previously encountered.
Just flying to that far off outpost was the best part... Skimming the surface of lakes/rivers, buzzing treetops, scaring wildelife. This game... sogood.gif
I'm only 6 or so missions into the main campaign.
Oh and the signature weapon "The Stormer" i think it's called... it totally worth the price of admission.

Need a new loot bag? 4 fish skins.
Need a new wallet? 4 rhino skins.

I'm in the same boat.
I assume my heavy machine gun is going to dispatch Rhino's fairly well... I hope.
Was looking to purchase this. What makes it different from other smgs? I currently have a LMG, shotgun, pistol and bow and arrow so i'm not sure if it's worth replacing my LMG
yeah but once you get the rhino wallet it automatically looks like this
How many arrows would it take to bring down a rhino? Is there a way to get a clean kill on a rhino altogether?
Because I would not mind simply launching a couple of rockets at the rhino. But I would rather sneak and use the bow.
I only just started playing the game on PS4 last night. It is great so far. The autodrive system is a godsend.

It's more mobile and accurate than the LMG, the Stormer is actually viable as a hip-fire weapon (I've upgraded that ability on my skill tree). Its stats are basically medium across the board, but I think thats a good thing. Its powerful enough that only a few rounds are needed to drop an enemy, and it's pretty easy to get those rounds to land considering its accuracy. Also, it looks badass, very Thompson sub-machine gun esq.
LOL that Rhino came charging like you just killed family

Wow. That's actually really disappointing. Was planning on exploring the Himalayas...is the rest of the game really fun to explore around looking in caves and chasms and all that? Maybe after the game is done you can go and explore the Himalayas???
I can't say for sure being that i've yet to encounter a rhino but headshots matter. I've one shotted smaller animals (dholes, monkeys, pigs) with headshots. I two shotted a yak with headshots and another yak was running away and it took about 5 arrows to the ass to take him down. So when in doubt aim for the head
Nice. Thanks, It'll probably be my next gun purchase although I am looking forward to the FAMAS. Pretty sure it was my go to assault riffle in FC3. Very stable and accurate with great range

So far I've only been in the Himalayas once, and it was during the second Longinus mission... I did not travel to the location, but was suddenly teleported there after accepting the mission. When the mission ended, the screen faded to black, and then I was back in the sandbox. During my gyrocopter exploration last night, I flew very far north but had to turn back as I approached Pagin's fortress because the game said something like "turn around, this area is for big boys only, and then a timer started counting down" (it didn't actually say that, but something along those lines). Perhaps once that area gets unlocked there will be some high altitude sandbox.

Far Cry 4 (or Eagles Are Jerks)
I've played about 5 hours so far on PS4 and haven't had any issues. The game looks great and plays smoothly.

Let's hope so! Is pagan min's fortress in the Himalayas? Or should, I say really high up?

Quick co-op question. I am trying to get my buddy to buy the game.
When playing co-op, does the second player (ie, the one who joins) keep/earn their character progress like XP and inventory items?

IMO it looks better on ps4 than pc. and thats ignoring all the issues the pc version has in other areas.

Was able to put about 90 more minutes into this gem yesterday. I did my first outpost, liberated a tower, and spent the rest of the time flying around in the Buzzer and hunting. I cant express how happy I am with this game; its just a blast to play. I know this game is cross-gen, but hopping into a Buzzer, and flying with such an insane draw distance, at a smooth 1080p feels next gen as hell to me; this game is just terrific.

Sticking c4 on every vehicle I drive is a good strategy.
I hear that the PC version is currently plagued by some crippling bugs.
Haven't spent a whole lot of time with the PS4 version, but so far it looks magnificent.
Got some pre-order codes and the farcrygame site says the offer is not available in my region (seems wrong, but anyway...).
Playing on PS4, should I just change the region? Will the content still work?
Edit: NVM, I checked some forums, and it seems like a known issue. Typical fucking Ubisoft....

When I completed act 1 of story missions, it told me that Co-op has now been unlocked. It can also only be activated from main menu before starting campaign.
Yep. 1080p and locked at 30 fps.
Also you won't have to deal with Uplay which is always a plus... and there are a few other bugs on the PC version right now based on what I've read.

It took a me a few days to iron out some of the issues I was having with the PC version... which were primarily related to SLI (which is pretty typical near launch). But last night I finally eliminated the black crush (overly black shadows) and stuttering I was experiencing and am currently playing the game locked at 30fps w/ all settings at Ultra & Nvidia softshadows & fur, with HBAO+ and TXAA2.
Core i7-2600k @ 4.4GHz, (2) MSI 760 Power Editions, 16GB ram, SSD
Don't get me wrong, it was hassle ironing out the kinks, but now that its done... hot damn this game is a looker. Puffed some trees last night after getting it running and then proceeded to spend an hour flying around int he gyrocopter just taking it all in.
I also got pretty wreckless taking over some outposts and was just spraying bullets every where, using way to many grenades and molotovs, basically just wasting all my supplies... it was awesome. After one such attack, after I captured the outpost and it zoomed out to show me the 3 new locations near by... the entire area surrounding the outpost was on fire considering I'd torched everything with molotovs.
burn it to the ground.
Has anyone confirmed that the Xbox one is 1080p?
I still havent pulled the trigger between this and the PC version. I really prefer playing on my Xboxone but if the hit graphically is that big i just might stick w/ the PC version.
Im suprised no one on GAF has done the pixel counting......maybe its a sign of the end for these kind of discussion and we will all just enjoy playing games

PS4 looks great, PC still has the advantage in terms of draw distance and the ability to get 60fps, but PS4 looks really, really, really great. Screenshots can't really convey how nice the game looks in motion.

yeah you can play at a higher fps on pc, but theres no way to get AA as good as the ps4 version. txaa is broken. the filters and temporal aspect of it shut off whenever you move, and it becomes plain old 4xmsaa. it only works properly when you stand still.

Oh really? I hadn't heard about this, makes me glad I got it on PS4. Can't stand pixel shimmer on vegetation, imagine it must be rife in a game with this much foliage and no temporal aliasing component.

B3D dude see ~1400x1080. So ~73% the number of pixels of full 1080P, still slightly better than 900P (~70%).

yep, its not just the vegetation tho, EVERYTHING shimmers since the msaa coverage in this game is very bad. the smaa option is i suppose the best available but its not very good either.
Ok...so I just bought this on Steam, I launched the game and it opens Uplay and activated the game....the only problem is that this is not the same account that I used Splinter Cell: Blacklist with(which also uses Uplay) and it uses a very old email that I don't have access to anymore. Did anyone have any luck contacting Uplay support to get their games transferred or am I fucked? I have no idea how Uplay even got that account.
