Quick tip to allow for almost limitless traversal: launch yourself by grappling to a point and hitting your parachute button just before you fully reel in. Then when your parachute hits its full height, open your wingsuit. Now here's the important bit: once you've descended more than you want to while in the wingsuit, quickly switch to the parachute then switch back to the wingsuit (switch should take no more than a couple of seconds). Opening the parachute lifts you back up, then you get another burst of distance with the wingsuit.
The entire map opens up to you once you work that back and forth mechanism out, it's a thing of beauty.

Ok, I think I might be a huge geeky geek because I actually laughed at this for some reason LOL "Crikey" LMAOOOO!
It was so sudden!
Also, did they update our sharetools on ps4? I didnt notice that memetastic face theri before when I used to make videos.
WOW

This has exceeded my expectations so far. The wingsuit is the star so far - it's tricky to master, but learning and seeing improvement is very rewarding. For some reason I've really enjoyed the script and voice acting - not in a 'so bad it's funny' way like in JC2, either.
One thing that has really annoyed me is not being able to find an option to change the crosshair colour, so I can't see what the hell I'm aiming at. Makes target practice very difficult, so I've not unlocked any weapon upgrade stuff after like 20 hours. I'll find a mod for it next weekend.
Game looks incredible when you notice the lighting, though I remember spending more time looking at sunsets in JC2. Could do with some thunderstorms as well. Anyway, I'm sure I'll play this for a few years here and there providing there's plenty to do.

This game is a flat out blast... buddy playing it next to me and we have had a ton of oh shit! moments. This one we found hilarious and we called it instant Karma. When you steal something thats not yours this might happen to you.

Out of curiosity, I glided 30km up to the top left island - safe to say it wasn't worth the trip. There's nothing there. The highlight was probably the volcano area in a big crater - the ground sizzles when you walk on it but it doesn't seem to damage you.
Also there's one section over on the east of the island where they haven't finished off the buildings:
Edit: Member status, woo. Not sure how that happened.

Playing with the game's physics and propensity for explosions is too fun. The amount of debris that gets scattered around is amazing. Almost makes me feel like I'm playing Red Faction now and again.

Does anyone else get Pilot Wings 64 feelings from this game?
That wing suit man...
This game is absolutely incredible so far.

I wouldn't say nothing...
I had the buildings load perfectly fine at one point, then fuck up like that after visiting some more of the island, it was weird. There's a bunch of like Bull Head shrines there when the buildings are loading properly. It's a nice Pompeii nod overall.

Is there actually anything in there, or is it just "hey, look, awesome skull-cave"?

Who else fucking hates the vehicle challenges? Especially the plane ones? Volo Burrone is fucking impossible to do with Urga U17 since it can't get enough speed to lift off. Who even uses vehicles in the Just Cause games? Outside of this bullshit and the horrendous load times, the game is very fun. Especially with the wing suit.
Wish I had this on PC so I can use these. It would make the game even better. I actually just want the challenge score one and maybe infinite tether. So damn hard for me to get these gears.
None of the challenges are fun for me but yeah, vehicles handle like shit and make the vehicle challenges super annoying. It is probably always better to switch to a helicopter when you can since there are slightly more manageable than the planes. For how much they paid attention to the gear mods and upgrades to vehicles I am surprised how badly they designed vehicle use. Nail the basics before you move onto extras...

Nothing in there, sadly. So I guess you could still say there's nothing there :x

Wasted opportunity.

Another wasted opportunity is those shrines that you see in every ruin (Also on top of the tallest mountain in the game). They don't serve any purpose that I can see.

Might have a use in some future DLC.

Purely visual Easter eggs are pretty weak in general IMO. Stuff like that cave or Thor's hammer, or the crashed Mile High Club, or the snowman, or the volcano would be so much more interesting with some strange interaction or scenario attached to them. Like a weird Rockstar style Strangers and Freaks encounter. Simply finding something in the world should only be half of the discovery. I wish they worked on stuff like that rather than creating dozens of challenges to gate upgrades.
I find that vehicles handle drastically different from one another, even within the same class. Many do handle like a burnt quesadilla, but there are others that aren't so bad. Bizarrely, using the nitrous boost seems to facilitate tighter turning.

Actually, I saw on a loading screen once that if you light all the shrines you get free and unlimited fast travel.

Those are the rebel shrines with the candles, I mean these:
Have you dragged a cow over there to present it as an offering?
Not that it'll do anything, just throwing around ideas.

Oh ok, gotcha. I haven't even ran into them yet.
I usually take a jet over to do the races, haven't unlocked it yet but if you park the jet just near where the Urga will spawn for the challenge it will still be there and can be used no problem.
Sorry to bug again but probably picking up very soon or early this week. Should I grab the xb1 or the ps4 version? I haven't really followed this thread too much other than hearing performance issues across all platforms. Only thing I can say is I prefer the xb1 controller. The resolution (if different) doesn't bother me all too much. Of course if one grossly performs better than the other then that's going to be the big factor. Thanks!
I tried to play the game on the couch at first and was not having any fun at all. I played the hell out of JC2 so this was a shock.
I gave it another go at the desk and the experience is night and day with mouse and keyboard. For some reason I need the precision aim of the mouse to play this game.

What's the deal with the Bragging Rights trophy?
Pretty certain I've beaten some player's score at some point in a challenge.
Edit: Got it after turning on Extended Leaderboards. I forgot to turn it back on after I though it was about the annoying feat leaderboards that constantly pop up.

I'm at the beginning of the game and seem to have gotten lost? I can't find the next story mission - it seems to be "A Terrible Reaction" - online guides just say "go to the marker on your map" but I have no frikkin marker on my map. Help?
EDIT nevermind I'm dumb, just have to zoom out on the map to find it. Ugh.

Have you seen the Stargate easter egg?
Finally, all the wingsuit/tether unlocks without having to do those stupid challenges. Thanks.

See, that's a pretty cool easter egg. Too bad about them loading times, but still. Wish that much effort went into more of them.

I'm enjoying the game so much so far. The wingsuit is awesome, I found myself playing gta online with some friends and I kept trying to use the grappling hook.
Every game should have a grappling hook.

Put ten hours into the game and I feel like I've seen and done everything the game has to offer. It's become mindlessly repetitive, so I'm just gonna stop now. Pretty disappointed.
Very interesting, I find the game nearly unplayable with the mouse and keyboard, despite my playing it on PC. Using the keyboard for the wingsuit isn't nearly as good, and to me, the wingsuit is the main fun of the game. The auto-aim works fine for the shooting.

I finished mission 6 or 7 and checked the map and found no yellow indicator for a new story mission. I did some challenges thinking that a new story mission will appear shorty, but that did not happen. I did a little research and found this:
"Before you can start the next mission (Missile Cowboy), you need to liberate Cima Leon: CentCom."
Did I miss something? Is there a clear indication somewhere in the menu where it tells you what do do in order to unlock the next story mission?

Yeah this happens sometimes. It's not a clear indication, but instead of the usual yellow bull marker you get a grey one, indicating you haven't met requirements for the mission.
cantona222

Thanks for the tip. I'll check the grey bull indicators from time to time.
If you highlight the story mission on the map, it should show the prerequisites in the little info window that pops up (where it would normally show what you have to destroy etc).
Damn the huge major island is so cool. Finally started exploring it tonight. The split up islands in the Southwest are also pretty rad. Kind of makes me wonder why they put you on that initial island for so long. It's so cookie cutter compared to these. Along with the gear mod unlocks, this game's pacing is weird sometimes.
Going to the highest mountain top in the game and looking around though, I see no sign of the Mile High Club. Shame, I loved that place in JC2. Still holding out hope something like it is in this game.
