    Might Get Far Cry 4; Few Questions

    So I've seen a few of the FC4 gameplay demos and trailers and it looks really fun and crazy, so I decided I might get it, but I have a few questions.
    * How many weapons can you carry?
    * Would I be able to carry the knife, a machine gun, the autocrossbow, and the semi auto pistol all at once?
    * How hard is it if you don't play FPS?
    * Is there an easy difficulty setting?
    * Will I be able to ride the gyro copter thing at any given time in the open world?
    * Do you just find cars and trucks or is there another way to get them?
    * Is it hard to keep up with your money and ammo and have enough for the game?
    * What is the importance of hunting animals ?
    * Is there upgrades or anything similar in the game?
    Lastly, is there any chance of playing as Pagan Min in DLC?

    And am I the only person who wants Pagan Min to win?

    I may edit this if I think of anymore questions. Thanks in advance for answering these.

    If you haven't played Far Cry 3, you should. It's a great game. Far Cry 4 looks like they didn't change much in the gameplay.

    These answers are based on the assumption that it will be a lot like far cry 3

    * How many weapons can you carry? 4 guns but you start out with one. you have to craft more weapon slots.
    * Would I be able to carry the knife, a machine gun, the autocrossbow, and the semi auto pistol all at once? yes
    * How hard is it if you don't play FPS?its RPGish as you can do things careful/slow/easy or fast/hard
    * Is there an easy difficulty setting?FC3 had 3 difficulty settings, this one is probably the same
    * Will I be able to ride the gyro copter thing at any given time in the open world?we don't know yet
    * Do you just find cars and trucks or is there another way to get them?find/hijack
    * Is it hard to keep up with your money and ammo and have enough for the game?no. like most games, money is valuable in the beginning and after a while you you have too much
    * What is the importance of hunting animals ?you have to hunt to carry more guns and ammo
    * Is there upgrades or anything similar in the game?yes
    Lastly, is there any chance of playing as Pagan Min in DLC?I doubt it

    And am I the only person who wants Pagan Min to win?

    * How many weapons can you carry? After crafting all your holsters, you'll be able to pack 4 weapons, 4 throwables/ equipments (mines, C4, nades, bait, throwing knives etc) and your kukari machete.

    * Would I be able to carry the knife, a machine gun, the autocrossbow, and the semi auto pistol all at once? Yes, and one other weapon actually, as the knife does not take up a weapon slot, you always have it.

    * How hard is it if you don't play FPS?
    * Is there an easy difficulty setting? Most likely, as BELLROY said, Far Cry 3 had 3, with a 4th added later (though it was a higher difficulty level, not lower)

    * Will I be able to ride the gyro copter thing at any given time in the open world? Guessing it's something that is sprinkled throughout the environment, you have to find them to use them I'm sure

    * Do you just find cars and trucks or is there another way to get them? They're scattered throughout the environment, in use by the enemies/ NPCs etc. Not sure what other way there would be to get them...

    * Is it hard to keep up with your money and ammo and have enough for the game? Again I'll echo BELLROY's sentiment, early on it can become an issue, but once you hunt some animals and get some pelts & such it becomes less of an issue.

    * What is the importance of hunting animals ? Hunting and skinning animals gives you the components to craft holsters and pouches to carry more weapons/ ammo/ equipment.

    * Is there upgrades or anything similar in the game? Yes, there are skill trees in the game that unlock abilities when you reach XP milestones, like most RPG games....

    Lastly, is there any chance of playing as Pagan Min in DLC? Perhaps, they did say his takeover of kyrat would've been like something they could make a game out of so...

    And am I the only person who wants Pagan Min to win? Maybe not, but by implication that would mean that the player would lose, which most likely won't happen.

    I may edit this if I think of anymore questions. Thanks in advance for answering these.
    Hope our answers help, I definitely recommend the game, though if you're unfamiliar with FPS games I can't promise you'll love it as much as some of us.

    If you are playing on next gen or PC then definitely go for Far Cry 4 cause it is going to be beautiful.
    If you are still on last gen PS3/360 then do yourself a favor and pick up FC3. It will be cheap, and the single player is one of the best open world experiences for these consoles

    Great to see that a couple people seem to have already answered the questions you've posted.

    As for your question related to Pagan Min, personally I'd quite like to see him win, but I guess we'll have to wait and see what develops during the story missions!

    Play Far Cry 2 for 20.00, enjoy the game, enjoy the Map editor, the great Multiplayer, FC4? Do not pick it up on launch. Wait for the reviews to actually see if it works the MP, the Map Editor, or the single player. Is it Broken?
    Read the Forums and be an informed consumer. You do not want to pay money for a half finished game do you?
    We do not even know anything about the game that is Concrete. yeah MP, yeah there's a high priced DLC with a damn Yeti in it. Yeah a Map editor, But it does not really matter if the the game really does suck, and for all intent at this point in time it just may. No one can show us otherwise.

    I feel like reading forums (especially these ones as of late) to make a decision about buying a game would just scare them away from it. Every post is just people whining about what they're not showing, which I get to some extent, but when thats the only thing anyone talks about it gets pretty old. I've never had the issue of deciding whether a game was worth getting or not, I'm not that indecisive, but this place is definitely not what I'd consider a valuable source of decision making research.

    It's not meant to scare anyone away from this game. I'm glad that you may have the ability to buy every game that is published - that's great for you. But when someone buys a game that is a monetary investment that either pays off or leaves a sour lump in the throat of the person who bought the game. I'm not going to set up on a soapbox and praise ay game publisher on the merits of how great of a game I thought it was, on that point we agree to disagree, but I want a consumer to make an educated purchase on the merits of a trustworthy source that they trust. I'm not going to be held responsible for the purchase of a game that is broken. It's the publishers that are ultimately responsible for the sales of a game and to prove that it is worth purchasing to the general public. Not me - I'm not in the Ubi Defense club, but I do not promote a game by smoke and mirrors. I just would like some transparency, of that, there is none.

    A) I don't think anything I said implied anything about how I buy up each and every game I want.

    B) I don't know what you're talking about with setting up soapboxes and praising publishers, on that I think it's less agreeing to disagree and more myself having no strong opinions one way or another.

    Look, all i've been doing is trying to avoid constant negativity and complaining about the same issues in every thread. I get that alot of people are excited/ interested about the editor and MP modes. As I've said my expectations there are very low (bordering on non-existent), but I get that thats a huge draw for alot of people, so I understand the frustration from lack of info on that front, it's just that the frustration has led to the forums here being nothing but trashing the game/ Ubi and NO discussion about any other aspects of the game. Its basically become pointless for anyone who doesn't wanna complain about those issues to visit the forums, which for someone like me, is a bit of a bummer....
