This is a problem with Ubisoft not being able to count. 17 Bell towers liberated, counted twice to make sure, and it shows only 16 out of 17. Same with the outposts; all 24 liberated, only shows 23/24. I went though all of that only to have it short change me? What a dry c.u.m.
I really liked Far Cry 3, and had no problems with it ... played it 3 times. And to be fair, there are some nice additions to 4, such as the stealth missions where the throwing knives were awesome. The grappling hook is very nice too, and would have been nice in FC3. Bringing back Willis was excellent. Best character of the game.
There are, however, far more problems with this game than the few extras over FC3 make up for. For starters, right out of the box it had the shadow ambient lighting issue and on DAY 1, there's a 1.x GB patch download. Really? Not everyone has a 40Mb connection fellas. Also, there's just too damned many NPCs in need EVERYWHERE you go. You're in a fire fight with a dozen other friendly and foes around you, and just when you're about to relieve yourself of that annoying heavy, an eagle singles YOU out and while waiting for the tiresome "OMG, an eagle's attacking me" cut-scene, you get wasted by the heavy. Lame. And while the bait was an interesting idea, it pretty much makes hunting animals for crafting a joke. Toss ... here kitty kitty, BOOM, rinse, repeat. The northern most fortress can be completely cleared from just outside the one gate, but when you go inside, it doesn't acknowledge you've liberated it. Huh? Everyone's dead. Where's my prize? Someone was probably hung over from a weekend bender when they verified that one. And the final scene with Min was less than underwhelming. "Shoot me or we can scatter your mother's ashes". Bang, done. Really? That's it? No slave girl to rescue from the back room and ride you for a reward? It was like a kid opening an anticipated present only to find a pair of mittens inside. Yawn.
In all, the game was pretty and had some nice terrain and other visuals, but overall a disappointment. 3 out of 5 stars. You can do better Ubi.
