I never bought the maps in FC3. What's the point? The map opens up anyway as you capture towers.

I never have more than about 100K so far.

This sounds great, FC3 was GOTY for me when it arrived. I was going to hold off until came down a bit in price (PC) but I might just go for it this weekend.

No it doesn't matter I was just disappointed with the lack of stopping power.frown

How are you making that much money?
I always seem to have about 200000,bought most of the maps but I must admit to getting side tracked off missions to go hunting.
I've found just by searching boxes and dead bosys I have to keep spending my money as I only have the basic wallet at the moment. I have found quite a few items that are over 50k each to sell. Sell everything that says sell and keep the rest for trying to get the crafting done

That's what i'm doing but I've never picked up anything worth like what you're finding.
I can't say it bothers me as i'm having too much fun wandering around gunning random wildlife down,you've gotta love the shotgun for hunting the smaller game,LMG for the larger stuff. smile

I have to say I've never noticed any massive value items like that - but looting every chest I find, and activating the blue bits on the map (spinning the wheels, finding the masks etc etc) has kept me on max cash pretty much since the first moment you get free roam. Looting the enemies adds up quickly too - as most kills are takedowns the auto-loot effect kicks in.

Just got this on the PC, is it supposed to be so dark?
I can see next to fk all!

I'm running the game on a i7-4770K, 290x.
The game is quick, nice and smooth, but i just can't see anything, especially when it becomes dark.

My Ps4 copy has bugged now. I won't say where in case of spoilers but I have no sound except the background music.

Most displeasing. Oh well, back to battlefield hehe

Is there a gamma correction setting in the graphics settings? Most games have one.

Ah, i think i found it.
It was a setting that i had to change to SSAO?
No idea what this means, but i can actually see things now.

It is a pretty dark game, I set my brightness as per the "Make the elephant barely visible" instruction at the start of the game and could see fk all in caves, even with the torch on. I have the brightness set higher than it was at default, it's a dark game!

Same here, I couldn't play it with the darkness set as instructed.

Another here. I had to go back into the menu and turn it right up! Far too dark!

This game, wow it has it's moments. The first time I was flying the gyrocopter over a river and I saw a demon fish, it was like spotting jaws! I also had a right laugh when I was liberating a propaganda tower and a honey badger turned up and started ruining a squad of Min's militia, I eventually managed to sneak out and kill it with my dragunov, it took a couple of shots though, those things are tanks! I had been looking for a badger as I needed the 3 skins for an upgraded gun holster, so I was glad to get it.

It's a good feature now that you can replay strongholds etc. In FC3 it felt like by the time you had unlocked all the cool guns there was nothing left to shoot at, not the case now.

Just as an aside, once you had liberated all of the outposts in FC3 you could go into the settings and reset them all to hostile again. It was a bit of a blunt instrument but did give a little bit of replayability.

Started using the crossbow, it is quite fun, but doesn't seem to have the fire arrows (bolts) nor explosive, which is a shame.

Don't like these drugged tasks though...

Does anyone else feel a little guilty killing these animals!?

I'm not taking much notice. Just randomly picking up stuff and selling it on. I have found gold dust a few times and this comes out well when selling it
