Far Cry 4

Yep, same.

Finish downloading last night, will start it later

Graphics is fucking awesome, can't believe it runs on very high on a laptop. Feeling is the same of FC3, no complains.

 

Problem: the game consistently crashes at the first checkpoint after the real game starts after the escape scene and killing the first set of guards up to the set of huts by the waterfalls, basically when Pagan phones in to apologize for the cooking. Two out of two Four out of four. I lowered a tad the graphics the third time, and just now tried to Run As Administrator.

Also can't believe checkpoints are so spread out, if I want to do things stealth it takes quite a while just that first section!

Managed to get past the broken point, i did an integrity check and Uplay found corrupted files.

Guess that it's not a checkpoint cos I got to the Tower Bell as the objective requires, but since I was just testing if the game was working and I hadn't the time to watch cutscenes, I hit "SAVE & Quit" before entering. Then I loaded the game again just to make sure… and the fucker started again from the beginning!

No luck. There was def something about screwy with the saving in far cry 4 though. I randomly had progression on secondary objectives lost so it must not save them in the same way..

[blackdog]

I replayed quickly and done the tower scene, so "Prologue" is done, saw the saving icon appear, I haven't had the chance to boot up again and see if it saved cos my gf arrived.

I run the game as administrator, as I did read something about that the other night when I had the crashes. It'd be very annoying if I need to right click all the time I want to play.

I live for the recurve bow. Managed to make a >60m shot with it! Just unlocked the predator and bushmaster as well so my stealth level is fast approaching >9000

 

I've only done 1 golden path mission but have finished all the bell towers, outposts and the 2 fortresses before gaining access to the north.

 

The elephants are great to ride around on with full access to your arsenal but do not stand up well to pagan min's "revenge convoys" i even got the elephants to be painted

 

But seriously, most OP thing ive come across is the thumper/grenade launcher sidearm. That plus a buzzer and molotovs is just ridiculous but only if you fly outside vertical range of MG placements.

Despite all my ranting I apparently caved and bought it drunk in the Steam sale on New Year's eve. 

[jackophant]

OK the buzzsaw is fucking ridiculous... GG

[Sprony]

Did you guys stick around at the start with the torture scene? That conversation was hilarious

[blackdog]

Yeah I sticked till the end, wanted to see how long it was, if it would loop after a bit…

what happens?! D: (tell me in spoilers?)

 

I know you can hang around in the dining area and Pagan Min eventually comes back. Although I have no idea how you are expected to kill him seeing as you have no weapon.

It's just some funny dialog. Check it out. I tried waiting for Min (a friend said that) but after 10 min he still wasn't back so I moved on.

[blackdog]

Me too, didnt wait more than 5 i think. Dunno if I'm the dining room you are not supposed to move at all tho.

When I finish it I will start a new game and wait playing on the iPhone

Spend over 50 hours in the game over the course of 3 months. Still not finished it. I couldn't understand why really but this sums it up rather nicely:
