    The GOOD / BAD / UGLY about this game .........

    Please share all you're thoughts here. The good, the bad and the ugly.

    I will go from worst till the best.

    The UGLY:
    1) I feel so dam many times under-leveled and dies 10x

    2) The game is many times: UNSURE what to do next or where to go next, when climbing mountens and stuff

    3) The caves are to dark + in Himalaya you're oxcygen gets low

    The BAD:
    1) It seems to clear out things like OUTPOSTS: too much must be done on STEALTH mode.

    2) It seems how longer you shoot you're weapons, how less accurate they will be.
    Sometimes I'm shooting above an enemies head, instead of making a head-kill.

    3) The game itself or it's QUESTS / SIDEQUESTS are many times to STRESS-FULL
    So many hard quests, where litterlary my hands are SHAKING from it.
    Ok, a decent difficulty, but pls not anymore, ........ that my hands are shaking .......

    4) These time-counting down things, I HATE them


    THE GOOD:
    _________

    1) Once you get stronger and have learned HELICOPTER, Explorating the world is so GREAT !!

    2) Flying with a helicopter is just B A D - A S S and makes the game a bit easier.

    3) Once you get stronger, killing and skinning beasts is so fun

    4) You"re KARMA, you get a lot of respect from people

    5) How further in the game, how better KICKING BUTTS weapons

    6) Upgrading you're OWN HOUSE, it gives all you will need

    7) So many things to trade, or UPGRADE, I love it's RPG system too
    For trading, you can hunt after everything. I love it.

    8) When you are a bad shooter like me,
    you will set-off an alarm. I've love the action music and stuff that comes next.

    9) A WATER SCOO TER and stuff, so fun to use.

    10) All these TEMPLE'S and stuff, so beautifull maded. You've got my respect.

    11) It can be really HORROR or scary too, you have my respect for that.

    12) ...


    My score, even I have many times trouble with dying !!

    9 / 10 fantastic game

    I agree on most of your points but the stress levels
    I have been in many a situation where I get the shakes or the sweats, but that is so cool that you get so immersed you panic when your plan does not come together. Either by all that time spent with recon on fort undone by a simple mistake. Or stumbling into a firefight on way to a mission.
    I’m glad a game can make me feel that still.
    You don’t have to stealth all outposts you know. You may not get good xp but setting the world a fire and laying traps on your retreat is just as satisfying.
    Not that I’ve ever handled a real gun in my life, but even I know short bursts is the only way to stay accurate.

    You gotta admit once you become this overpowered hard to kill dude, you stop thinking about tactics. I like feeling fragile in the world.

    One thing I would like to change, is in FC2 sniper positions would move at outposts. I’d like that back. This always kept you on your toes

    Sorry if English isn't your first language but imo comparing your English with your points you sound like you're not old enough to play the game. I disagree with all your "Worst/Bad" points. I feel as if you don't understand what you are doing as i am only 15 (FC4 = MA15+ in AUS) and found no problems with the game besides from how hard the Masks of Yalung are to find but that's easy if you use a Buzzer.

    1) English is indeed not my first language

    2) Not old enough, I think I'm maybe becomming to old for these games.
    I'm one of these OLD persons, who had FUN with games like: GOTHIC or so.
    Instead of doing mouse-clicks so fast, that you're hands are hurting from it.

    3) Exploration = no problem. And also using a BUZZER is no problem. So far, I've find already many of these Masks daily and those other stuff.
    Why ? Maybe it's because, you're can take you're time for it. By beeing pressed in quests, you will forget many things to find or so.

    Call me better an old guy, but not that I'm too young. I believe I was gaming already, when you where still in diapers.

    - some consoles even before C64
    - then most games of C64
    - Then almost everything of Nintendo ( 8 -16, .... bit)
    - Old DOS games,
    - All windows games from the first windows till today

    I'm sure not a CHILD about playing games ........

    His English is fine, I didn't even notice many mistakes so it sounds like you're just trolling. Why is he not old enough to play the game? The game has no age limit to PLAY.

    Can you read? look at the first line. "Please share all you're thoughts here. The good, the bad and the ugly." Straight away "Your" not "You're". Besides from the spelling and grammar mistakes alot of the sentences do look like that of a childs. Yeah sure anyone can play it if someone over the required age buys it for them but actually being able to understand the game is what i meant.

    I have done everything there is to do in this game that contributes to the overall completion, i think i've got some experience on how the game plays bud.

    I kind of have to agree with the language complaint. I'm actually having difficulty understanding his points.

    I am also a "older" (34) casual gamer and I don't like games that are too hard but Far Cry never seemed too hard for me. I do die a lot but not enough to get frustrated. The exception being the "Pay Back" mission near the end. I must have died 30 times. I had to take a break and then try again. I wrote my opinions on your negatives below. I mostly agree with your positives except I hate the jet ski.

    Cheers

    The UGLY:
    1) I feel so dam many times under-leveled and dies 10x
    I kinda like to prepare for missions as much as I can making sure I have the right weapons.
    2) The game is many times: UNSURE what to do next or where to go next, when climbing mountens and stuff
    I like having choices about what to do next. I never really experienced not knowing what to do next
    3) The caves are to dark + in Himalaya you're oxcygen gets low
    yeah it is a bit dark at times and I feel the oxygen doesn't add anything to the gameplay
    The BAD:
    1) It seems to clear out things like OUTPOSTS: too much must be done on STEALTH mode.
    Not if you shoot/burn/explode everyone
    2) It seems how longer you shoot you're weapons, how less accurate they will be.
    Sometimes I'm shooting above an enemies head, instead of making a head-kill.
    I assume you are talking about recoil which adds balance to weapons and requires you to burst fire

    3) The game itself or it's QUESTS / SIDEQUESTS are many times to STRESS-FULL
    So many hard quests, where litterlary my hands are SHAKING from it.
    Ok, a decent difficulty, but pls not anymore, ........ that my hands are shaking .......
    How is this a bad thing?
    4) These time-counting down things, I HATE them
    I only remember the bomb disarming having timers which makes sense


    THE GOOD:
    _________

    1) Once you get stronger and have learned HELICOPTER, Explorating the world is so GREAT !!

    2) Flying with a helicopter is just B A D - A S S and makes the game a bit easier.

    4) You"re KARMA, you get a lot of respect from people

    I play on normal difficulty and didn't find the game too hard at all, the most amount of times i died were from falling & Honey Badgers aren't even a problem it's more the Rhinos that are annoying (early game). The mission i found to be most annoying and intense was definitely the Durgesh Prison mission i think it was the final Willis? mission. (SPOILERS) Pretty much you had no weapons not even your kukri and you had to sneak through this prison without the Rakshasa spotting (like amnesia i guess) to get a hook and rope to make a grapple but when you get the rope it makes a loud noise so you have to remember the way you came while running from the Rakshasa then when you grapple down it pops up out of nowhere then you have to quietly get through the actual slave camp part of the prison. got to the point where i just run through it trying to dodge all the bullets and then you see a yeti in the distance, wake up in a room with Sabal and continue like nothing ever happened. Considering it was the first time seeing a Rakshasa outside of Shangri-la made it more intense. I raged but it was enjoyable.

    Tips for anyone struggling
    > liberate all outpost and bell towers asap, when you get all bell towers you get the best weapon in the game (Buzzsaw LMG, 400 bullets per round + takes down heavies & cars in a second + don't even need to aim, literally shreds everything).
    > if you do any "Armed Escort" missions you get the grenade launcher sidearm for free (comes in handy especially against helicopters).
    > can't remember the requirements but i unlocked the "Rebel" signature pistol early in the game and it is pretty much a mini Buzzsaw just runs out of ammo quick.

    If anyone needs help with a sidequest or outpost/fortress i'm on Xbox One (GT: iGwynbleidd) literally have done everything and liberated all outpost/fortresses twice through the reset option. Can answer pretty much any questions
