I loved this game. However, once I finished the main storyline, it seemed to lose its appeal. I am yet to try multiplayer and have more relics etc to collect, but I must admit that it's gone off the radar a bit for me now.

Funny how the game became really cheap over Christmas. Wonder if it is the lack of long term playability? smile

A shop put it up for £25 or so I think which is pretty much going to wreck the second hand market!

Really? It's a "spoiler" that the bad guy gets killed in a game?

Spoiler Alert: in Far Cry 4, the good guy wins, the bad guy dies.
Well, Far Cry games (including this one) don't exactly have a great track record of looking after the good guy - although often the good guy is a fairly awful character.

I still haven't found my lizard.

And I haven't seen another crocodile in all this time.

I'm yet to see a single croc after quite a few hours gameplay

Look on the map and go towards the picture of the crocodile. Really easy to kill.

I ran over a couple of sharks in shallow water with a Rib yesterday. Easy.

I wasn’t very impressed with the first bit of the game, but not Im over in the bit with the CIA type guy, the landscape is much more interesting and it more of a challenge to move about without being seen. Really enjoying it now. I’m a Pillbox nut, so I’m loving all the old Jap emplacements as well.

I also found a non-capturable base where red pirates spawn (like the mercs do at the airport) complete with a caged animal.

Has anyone played with the map editor? I'd forgotten this existed.

Has anyone got this game on the Xbox?

What is the multiplayer like? i.e Player count, game modes etc?

What is the map editor like, can you play the maps you create on multiplayer?

You unlock a decent Signature Weapon at 20. I didn't bother collecting them after that.

Multiplayer isn't great, co-op is worth a go though. I'm working through it with a few mates.

As for finding crabs/lizards I found a crab randomly on a beach (first island)! I've also got a bird of paradise and a vulture + a seagull. Been trying to shoot down an eagle but not managed it yet! Where did you find the eel?

Doh.

Done the main mission, all the Wanted Dead, all the memory cards. Only a few Hunted's though...

Hoping to get the co-op done soon. The supporting phoneapp is pretty useful, Farcry 3 Outpost

Is it wrong that I don't like the idea of killing animals in a game?!?

The eel was fairly deep in the water, off the SE coast where there's somewhere called Nat's Repairs. You have to get it to attack and then kill it. This doesn't count for anything, just appears in the stats that you can access from the Achievements page. Still not seen a lizard!

100% now. I guess that'll do!
