Too bad he couldn't just exchange bills for bigger denominations.

You can get rid of a lot more than the objective marker, just not the minimap or blinking.

Pff, Amiga. Get a girlfriend, nerds.

I think they should have tied the slaughter of endangered animals to the Rakyat plotline. That way, your joining of the tribe would have seemed like a more gradual process. Another thing they could have tried is have Jason Brody standing around in the main menu, always looking like he should look like in your game. So when you start, he's just this kid. After a while, he has colourful fur all over the place and huge also colourful guns hanging off holsters made of tigers. Tattoos and all, looking increasingly brooding and also increasingly ridiculous as the game goes on. That would have sold the supposed satire aspect of the game at least a little bit. EDIT: It's odd that the privateers don't wonder about the rookie running around with a dire boar backpack and unicorn grenade harness.

Cannot stop watching. I am that panda.

Yeah, sorry, I was writing on my cell phone so I couldn't be bothered to add links or anything.

Oh my god. That is the best.

Oh, god. I'd forgotten about that. I wonder if that reference is intentional (it could easily be). If that's the case, that ramps up the fear factor significantly.

As long as they go back to discussing Far Cry 2 once they're done.

That's fantastic, subbes

Ah, okay. I've had very fluid conceptions about what that meeting was. For a while I thought he was your superior.

Toblix, you would know if you were talking over the phone.

What's the interview for if he can be a horrible dick and still be accepted?

I've never spent an entire morning and half an afternoon buying catfood.

Not even that. They call it the mule. But how is it superior to a mule? Apart from being scary looking and sounding.

AirBuccaneers is on sale. It would be perfect for playing with Thumbs. I already have it and I'll make a thread in the multiplayer forum as well, to see if anyone else will bite.

Man was I disappointed after buying Cart Life. I agree that the writing is good and the presentation is interesting, but playing it is a huge chore because the difficulty comes from a combination of ridiculously sped up time and it being completely unrealistically difficulty to get stuff you need. Or which town is this that has only one superstore you have to travel by taxi to get to? They didn't even sell food for humans that I noticed. Even living in Finland, I have three stores a short walking distance away. In Britain I had one across the street that was open 24 hours a day. But this guy I can't feed because apparently food is scarce in the US. You'd think the motel had a vending machine, at least. Rather than speed up time so much, I'd much rather deal with the moments when it gets difficult to do everything you need to, and then also deal with the boredom of sitting in that newsstand for the entire day. I also think that it fails to see many things which are difficult about moving to a new country, but I suppose that quibble is insane because it's so novel for a game to even approach that issue. In any case, I can't get to the meat of the game because corner stores don't exist and my guy starves to death.

Haha, yeah, I have a big rant in the game's thread about this exact spot. I uninstalled the game once because of it. I missed the popup that told you to jump off the bridge, so I kept fighting respawning guys. Of course I could have ran away easily if that was the goal -- but no, you have to run away using this one particular car!

subbes, I'm going to party like it's 1666. Or not, I'm kinda tired. I'm also just surprised this is a thing at all.

I tried this, installed Defcon and Superbrothers, neither of which did anything when I tried to play them (Defcon didn't even download anything). Then I updated my graphics drivers, which broke my desktop somehow, and then I removed my Linux partitions.

They look line pine cones.

But surely Jason couldn't stop killing dudes at that point? He would have to abandon his friend and his brother.

Goddamn watch company marketing bots are everywhere.

Plus the way he delivers that line about "winning", there was worry in his voice. Realization. That moment worked for me.

FC2 never invites you to care about the conflict between the African warlords. All the cutscenes related to that are only a few sentences and it's clear those people are interchangeable. As for the Jackal stuff, I don't agree that it's dumb, but even if you don't like it, you won't have to bear it for long. The African warlords' bullshit conflict, the Jackal's explicit statement of the problem and what the moment-to-moment gameplay communicates all deal with the same themes. FC3 just wallows in its story, with really long missions and cutscenes that take you away from the core of the game.
