    Features from Far Cry 3 that are absent in Far Cry 4

    Skills
    • Dual Death from Above - This is so much easier and more satisfying than doing death from above with chain takedown in Far Cry 4. I really, really want this skill to be back.
    • Dual Death from Below - While I rarely do this, it is very much satisfying to pull off.
    • Stone Wall - I like this skill, because I get knocked down often in Far Cry 4. Able to remain standing gives me a better fighting chance. (This skill is now part of the Survival Syringe)
    • Ninja Step - I really enjoyed this skill, even though it makes stealth very easy to pull off. While "Jungle Run" made its return in Far Cry 4 combined with Marathon Man, it's okay that I find this skill to be absent. (I believe this skill is part of the Hunting Syringe Lv 2)


    Crafting Syringes

    • Endorphin Boost - It's always nice to have additional 4 health slots and a full heal. I would rather have these than simple medicine.
    • Deadly Damage - You do more damage towards animals, but we already have overpowered weapons in Far Cry 4 that pretty much renders this useless to me.
    • Fireproof - Eliminates burn damage for a short time. While I have never used this, it sounds like a nice syringe to use.
    • Sharpshooter - Enhanced accuracy when shooting from the hip. I never used this though.
    • Untouchable - Immune to damage. Feeling overpowered, because why not.
    • Touch of Death - Killing enemies with a single bullet? I don't miss this, but I'd rather use the Buzzsaw signature weapon.


    Activities

    • Trial of the Rakyat - I kind of miss these.
    • Poker - How can this be absent? I really wanted to play Poker, even if it would have co-op thrown in for Far Cry 4.
    • Knife Throwing - Another mini game.
    • Sharpshooter - Shooting birds with specifically assigned weapon type, can't say I miss this.


    Other features

    • 4 player co-op. Now we only have two.
    • "Wall", where you see your friends' recent activities in the main menu.
    • Decoding - I actually liked this feature where you unlock new stuff when gaining CDs, Flash Drives, DVDs, Memory Cards, and Hard Drives to decode.
    • Gifts - Free stuff to give away in multiplayer and co-op.
    • Tattoo Editor - Self explanatory
    • Daily and Weekly Challenges

    You forgot one of the most major features from not just FC3 but the whole series... The multiplayer map editor.

    Also Death from Above with Wingsuit doesn't work in FC4 and if you manage to fly just above them and the "normal Takedown Prompt" comes and you do it you die instantly after the Animation of the Takedown...

    No I did not forget. We all know about that, and I don't want to bring that up and have that be part of the major discussion in this topic.

    Issue popularity shouldn't mean it's excluded from the list... In fact it should be the total opposite. (It's a big issue, hence it should most definitely be on the list)

    No one wants to make another topic all about that solely when there's already a giant one about it, don't worry.

    Agreed, Far Cry, especially 3 & 4, are about dynamic and epic moments. Seems OP thinks he's the only one with valid points, which somewhat sours his own thread.

    ^Should have just left well enough alone and let him make his valid point. Your making a wall of text over that one issue only further verifies my point that you over reacted. Get over yourself. No one cares how much you've played the game when you act like that.

    I can see that Wish List thread went to your head, big time. While you're at it why don't you start wishing for better optimization on the next game, and we'll see if you're really a magical get your wish genie once and for all. LOL
