Yup i can agree with this.
This happened to me. I could hear when I shot guns but if I skinned an animal or reloaded my weapon, the sounds that should have made wasn't there. I just fast traveled to the nearest safe house and it worked from there.

Happened to me last night when climbing a tower. I closed the game, and restarted and the sound came back.

the access to cash and firepower come too early in my opinion.
though it makes running into outposts guns blazing pretty damn fun.... just not hard.

One thing I have noticed that bugs me a little on the PS4 version is that sometimes when I bring up the menu by pressing the touch pad it changes weapons on me because of the touch pad weapon wheel function. I turn it off but it comes back on and I have to switch it on and off a few times for it to go off again. A minor bug bit a little annoying.
I will have throwing knives equipped, then go in the menu and when I come out I will have grenades equipped. Annoying when I dont notice when I am trying to be stealthy.

The Arena sucks major balls.
The weapon challenges are shit. You can only use the weapon on the challenge (fair enough) but you cant get any more ammo over the course of the five rounds and then for good measure in the 5th a rhino will flatten you and before you can get back up, finish the job. Seriously?

Rhinos are no match for an elephant. No match at all.
I just found my first fish last night thanks to the one syringe and a certain campaign mission but there was only one of them. As soon as I find out where those fish reside, the bigger loot bag is mine!!!

yes, but outposts you've over taken will not transfer to their game... only yours.

Alright gaf I liked FC3 quite a bit but got burned out by the end. What is the general consensus among you compared to the last game?

I'm OK with that because its fun as hell and an incentive to join their game to beat it again on theirs.

Agreed, now I just need to find some people on Steam to co-op with.
I've not beaten FC4 (nowhere close actually)... but I have flown deep into the map to areas where I quickly get overwhelmed by the enemy, and there seems to be a lot of environmental diversity in this game. Unlike FC3, where the second island was just more of the same.
FC4 grabbed me slowly, the first 2 hours was pretty slow, and tutorial'ish, but once you are past that, the game really opens up. I am surprised by how much fun i'm having in the gyrocopter and climbing up mountains/cliffs with the grappling hook.

It feels like a reskin to me. This isn't really a complaint, it's insanely fun and exactly what I wanted. A Far Cry every couple of years is just what the doctor ordered (ideally it would be 3 rather than 2). But I know I'm going to hit a wall at the same point I hit one in FC3. I feel like I'm eating that game again with a slightly different seasoning. It's just as fun and I'm going to put in the same long playtime, but it's not going to keep me hooked any longer than than the last one did.

Love it. Lots of new mechanics and vehicles. Riding an Elephant is beautiful. Climbing up rock faces is so much fun in that the paths you have to scale and the heights you reach are fantastic.
I like the story more this time around. Feels a lot more like a real narrative instead of the semi cartoon that was FC3's super drugged out craziness. The FPS cinematics are probably the best ever done.
Environmentally, there is nothing out there that compares to this landscape.
I got 24 hours or so out of FC3. I'm probably nearing 8 right now on FC4 and I can see putting in at least the same amount of time as FC3. Value for the dollar is really strong.

I was disappointed when it was announced that FC4 would be cross-gen, but damn, seeing all of that lush grass, and other dense foliage really makes it feel "next-gen" to me. Especially when everything is blowing in the wind while the framerate stays 100% solid.
My god, why did they have to put one of the later skills be something that you should do early on. Soft Landing requires that you beat 2 outposts without being detected, but by the time I got to needing that skill in the chain, the only outposts left have multiple hunters. I've been wrecking myself over the last 5 hours with nothing but failure since I'm so horrible at stealth, and now my only option I feel is to start this game all over, and if I reach that point I might as well just quit now. And you can't even do them in the Outpost replays. This fucking sucks..
Is there anyone thats hella good at the stealth sections in like MId Kyrat (early ones with Hunters) that could help me with using Shareplay on PS4. I really don't want to start this game over or quit it, but I know that I don't have or will never have the skill to be able to pull off no detections in stealth against enemies like this Hunters.

You could reset the outposts via the gameplay option. It should work instead of replaying outposts in the individual outposts.
Why don't you just go into the outposts with grenade launchers? I get maybe wanting to do it legitimately but its no reason to restart the game.
There's a way to reset them all? I would definitely be down with this, I'm playing on PS4 so I don't know if it's an option there or not.
They won't get autodetected or sound the alarm from the blast? I always keep trying to Takedown or bow them, but the Hunters have made it seem impossible

Cool, thank!
Tip for those wanting a little more challenge. I haven't put many hours in FC4 yet but I played through FC3 a few times and this makes a big difference, so I assume it would still pertain to FC4.
1. Put it on hard.. duh.
2. No silencers on weapons beside a pistol. This makes taking out outposts with full stealth much more fun. It is way too easy to just sit back and silence snipe everyone.
3. No bow, for same reasons as reason 2. and the explosive arrows are pretty OP.
If it is like FC3, then it will probably never be "hard", but making sure all your big weapons make a lot of noise helps create much bigger fire fights and adds some intensity. My first play through of FC3, I felt like I never made a peep. Only my .50 cal was un-silenced. When I was forced to make noise with the more powerful weapons, it let to much crazier fire fights and it felt much more rewarding to full stealth the larger outposts.

Yup just press options and click on Gameplay. The last option should say reset outposts.

Great feedback thanks guys.
Hopefully this is part of the lightning deals. I doubt it though.

Game is great. Very similar to Far Cry 3, however. It's more of an iterative sequel than a evolution like FC2---> FC3 was.
That being said, it's more polished, beautiful, atmospheric (Kyrat is one of the best game worlds I've played in), and just plain fun. One of my, if not my favorite game of 2014 so far.

The co op is also awesome. Although you cant do campaign missions in co op there is a plethora of side missions to do together. Its some of the most fun I have had with co op ever.
Oh my this sounds perfect, gonna try it out in about 20 minutes and hopefully I'll get the points for doing the earlier outposts undetected now. Thanks so much for the help

It's better in every way. It improves a lot of gameplay mechanics or added stuff that was sorely missing in Far Cry 3 [like shooting from inside a vehicle].
Wingsuit is available extremely early, as is a grappling hook to make rock climbing much more enjoyable. Weapons are identical to FC3 with a few new additions, so don't expect anything special in that department. But still, map is insanely big but there's something going on every 100 feet. Outposts are fun as ever. The whole hunting/crafting is as trivial as in FC3, but a bit less obnoxious; it gives you two skins when using a bow, for example. Huge amount of collectables.
Story is better, no more fever dream power trip fantasy. It's extremely serious though, but never feels as disjointed as in FC3. Unfortunately, no more TATTAU. Skills are more straightforward now. Atmosphere is aces, everything feels very "spiritual" [in a good way].
Sorry if a bit incohesive, I was typing down the first things that came to mind haha.

Really enjoying this a lot so far. The setting for this game is great and you're never really going a long time without something to do. Even if you take a break from the story there's always something going on to keep you busy. I like the "Karma Events" that happen every now and then. I've failed the "Defuse The Bomb" type since I am terrible with the bow and get spotted but that's not a negative on the game...I just need to improve. I'll end up getting the Season Pass sometime soon to have the full experience but so far I'd say this was definitely worth the purchase.
Damn, just found out you can't reset the outposts til you finish all the campaign missions and capture all the outposts. But I did just complete one of the harder outposts Undetected by using the Grenade launcher like the other poster pointed out to me, and it worked perfectly! Only one more outpost to do this at!

So for the keys to kyrat "demo" does the person that gave you your key have to be playing with you for you to play it? Or can you play your two hours totally by yourself?

Nice! I will probably use that technique when i get to those outposts!

Just picked this up, game especally the environments really do look stunning on PS4. That intro to the game was pretty wild, digging it so far. Dabbled in Far Cry games before but never actually gotten around to completing one. Hope this one will be a solid time sink.

O my god that random Pagan Min rant about
. This game, man.
I love how everytime I think I got this game figured out, it throws a curveball by introducing a new enemy type, new amazing location, new sidemission. I just did Noore's Arena and the Ghale Homestead, that stuff was so cool.

Yes, two green I think and the are created automatically I read.
Ah so you just collect the herb and the syringe gets added automatically? That's kinda cool I guess.

It's true; no more additional crafting needed. Just snag two green leafs [or one of you have the "one pickup = two leafs" skill and presto, syringe is done.
