    Far Cry logic

    Disclaimer: I'm not bashing the game(s), but there's always room for making fun of things. It is silly after all.

    Do you by any chance happen to be an ancient warrior in a mythical land, and get attacked by a tiger? No problem. Just pull the arrow out of your arm, and you're fine.

    Nobody cares if there's a huge explosion nearby, but if one guy sees you a split second before you take him out quietly, everyone will magically know and set off the alarm.

    Mortars do not alert the commander. Silenced snipers do.

    "Death from above" means death for you, unlike Far Cry 3.

    "Body armor absorbs more damage" is apparently a skill.

    There's a civil war going on, enemies are coming up the road and... nevermind that, EAAGLEEEE!

    Screw the eagles, civilians in a car! RUN!!!!

    Honey badgers absorb way more damage than your cardboard vest. Why not give us a badger suit instead?

    Drugs are awesome! You should totally do drugs. Ubisoft promotes getting high!

    You should also hunt endangered animals.

    There's no need to strap yourself in when flying a glider, you'll stay in perfect position hanging on with one hand, while the other holds a grenade launcher. You can also reload a break action weapon easily with one hand.

    Swimming while fully dressed, carrying four weapons, several crates of ammo and explosives... easy. You won't freeze to death in that climate either.

    Four rhino skins, that should be enough for a tent, right? Nope. Barely enough for a wallet that fits in your pocket.



    Feel free to add more.

    Lol at the badger suit. Genius.

    How about having to pay for ammo. Not enough that you are single handedly winning a long running civil war but you've got to pay for the privilege of doing so.

    Or you can land a noisy copter 150 metres from an outpost full of enemies and nobody hears you.

    Enemies spot a dead body right in the middle of their outpost so they look around for a couple of minutes, determine the killer has long since left (even though he has done the exact same thing at 20 other outposts) and return to the normal schedule leaving their dead comrade lying on the dust.

    You can see enemies through walls.

    You're an invincible killing machine but apparently you are too slow to dodge a druggie pinning you with a needle (yogi and Reggie).

    Landmines beep and have flashing lights. But only you seem to notice this. Apparently enemies can't see or hear them.

    Apparently, leaving powerful mounted machine guns and grenade launchers mounted by the side of the road is OK in kyrat. I don't know why more countries don't do this.

    I lol'd at the mortars not alerting the commander thing. I almost killed everyone at the airport that way before one sniper spotted me. I then tried to snipe them...lol........

    Snipe guards and save all hostages - they all start yelling "GET AWAY FROM ME!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!" Sorry I saved you then.

    Enemy in front of a building - throw rock and he starts looking for you in the wall. Yeah, of course that's where I am.

    Animals can bite you from 5ft away, and eagles are in your face when they are a mile away, always stopping you from shooting.

    Eagles.

    Eagles totally fly over 8000 meters. Also, there's totally a helicopter way up there in a blizzard. No problem at all.

    It's ok to throw a rock in your friend's face. You can do it twice. Three times and everybody starts shooting at you.

    Golden Path fighters all work as extras in Star Wars films, playing the stormtroopers. You can tell because they never hit anything.

    Eagles.

    If you're a civilian and a car is coming towards you, make sure to run onto the road so that you're guaranteed to get killed.

    Person asks if I can fix their car - I fix it, they pay me, and I drive away in their car. Totally cool.

    Although Sherpas carry huge stocks of guns and ammo, they never have a gun in their hand to shoot the leopard that attacks them seconds after you have spoken to them.

    Most of the good guns are unlocked towards the end of the game. Unclock 17 outpost and you get this and that. If I unlock so many outpost without the best gun available, than what is the use of it towards the end of the game? Why not buy all weapons from the start? Why weapons have to be unlocked by clearing outpost or bell towers. How about explore for weapons? Kill the enemy and get the weapon from them haan?

    The worst part I hated in FC3 and 4 was, these bell tower/watch tower. Set them free and your map gets updated. WTF? How come an unknown on the land get access to all the stuff? Including animal location???

    Instead of 4 rhino's for a wallet, they could have kept some kind of ingredient. Like 3 black plants, 1 needle, 1 rhino & 1 string. I have seen needle's etc in the game, its the thing which we loot from soldiers and sell it in the shop for $. So they could also use that. Make more challenging and difficult.

    You hide inside a bush and enemy can see you. I also saved a yak from a snow leopard and the yak later on killed me. bah

    Bell towers are useless get something new & so are the treasure chest. I am tired of collect lost letters, collect treasure chest, collect journal & collect mask of gakung. Can UBIsoft really come with better side games, instead of useless collecting side games? Which really don't mean a thing to main game. Plus you have to do it, to make sure you get the 100% completion. No cards game, etc. Once an outpost/ village is liberated, I don't see people happy and no changes in the environment. AC3 homestead mission were so much fun!!!

    There are so less interactions with the main characters in the game. Most of the villagers look the same. Only few skins in the game.

    Wish we could tame more animals, like dogs & ride horse/ yaks etc. More of the snowy region/ everest.

    Treasure map gives you access to treasures inside the people's house.

    FC4 was a good game, but not great...

    Killing tons of animals for weapons, not food or health = OK
    Killing tons of people, including the ones who want to go home = OK
    Killing hostages by alerting the guards = OK
    Killing members of your faction with only the immediate area giving a hoot = OK

    Kill ~3 civilians = Your body implodes.


    Wingsuit near compound at the base of Pagan Min's mansion = OK
    Parachute near compound at the base of Pagan Min's mansion = OK
    Gyro near compound at the base of Pagan Min's mansion = Plowed into the ground!

    Sure, I get it, it's for cinematic effect. Drive up there like a lone warrior who's gonna end all the suffering. I get it.
    But Pagan's defeated, the movie is over, the rest is just leftovers. Remove all the invisible walls & let us roam!

    Even if you could learn how to tame and ride that Rhino in Arena Weapons Challenges, that little Badger would just drop it and proceed to eat you.
