Yes, I hate those poxy drug/freak out parts of the Far Cry games.
The Birds are there I suspect to make this a 3D game, you are not safe underwater, on the ground, or from the air....
Seen birds fly off with small deer/animals a couple of times & then drop them. Amusing. The Birds are there I suspect to make this a 3D game, you are not safe underwater, on the ground, or from the air....

Crocs aren't that bad...it's the f
king honey badgers that pisses me right off.
I'm really REALLY bad at aiming with these FPS games, I can't even hit a bloody Rhino with the Elephant Gun at close range let alone shoot a jumpy badger...
Crocs are scary. In real life, and when they attack you from nowhere in a game. It's the not being able to defend yourself before they get you that gives me the goose bumps every time I go for a swim.

The answer to your troubles is the Buzzsaw. It'll kill all life within a 50m radius. No aiming necessary.
The sad thing is that getting into the north of the map renders a lot of guns useless. I was having a whale of a time with my 1911 in the south, but when you get to the north, the high HP of the enemies and their ridiculous accuracy means you don't really stand a chance using smaller guns, you need big damage and high ROF to deal with the floods of tough enemies you come up against in the north. Once you capture all of the bell towers and get the shredder signature MG42, it's game over for the enemies, it's so accurate, it has incredible damage per bullet and insane rate of fire, nothing can stand before it. It costs a fortune to run though, as there is precious little ammo for it in the game world, so you have to buy a lot, and a full 500 rounds costs 96,000 rupees, so if you're the kind of player who doesn't hunt treasure and doesn't search all of the enemy bodies after a fight this thing will cost you.

Indeed, all the reviews I've read of Far Cry 4 have criticised the Shangri-La/drug missions and the two druggies you meet at the Ghale residence. The Birds are there I suspect to make this a 3D game, you are not safe underwater, on the ground, or from the air....
No matter that every far Cry game is just a retread of a 'Heart of Darkness' theme where a Westerner enters a foreign, tribal land and becomes a savage warrior. The whole drug trip thing was done in Far Cry 3, and it wasn't particularly entertaining then so I have no idea why it must return. The mission FC3 where you had to burn the cannabis crop was just rubbish, it went on for ages, wasn't funny or innovative and had that awful dubstep music on repeat. What a load of crap.
At least FC4 is better than FC3, mainly because the environment has so much personality and character rather than the dull 'somewhere in the Indian Ocean or maybe not' rubbish in FC3.
The Shangi-La missions are ok actually, and tie in well with some of the collectables. They become a lot quicker to chew through after the first 2 are done, because of the upgrades that you get. The last one only takes about 5 minutes. No spoilers, but they're easy and actually do enrich the fabric of the game.
Those Yogi and Reggie idiots, now I wish I could pack those idiots off to Pagan Min's death camps. On the other hand, the Longinus and Herk missions are good fun.

Ok, I've taken all the outposts, towers and fortresses & unlocked most of the weapons and all of the skills. Checked my stats though & I've wasted 45hrs on this !
50hrs in 60% complete.
I really need to get out more.
Just clearing the south and then heading up north to finish off.
A useful tip for anyone still yet to unlock the north; as soon as the north is unlocked, immediately do the Amita/Sabal mission that pops up. This is an introduction to the northern Kyrat chapter, and unlocks a couple of cool guns, you get a Vector SMG, a 44 magnum, a Spas 12 and an amazing automatic grenade launcher. The standard magnum is better than the signature version imo.

I'm more likely to look at it as potential lost earnings. Oh damn my Presbyterian upbringing (And it was £300 as I bought the Bone for FC4).
Indeed. I quite deliberately do not look at things that way or else I'd never do anything else..... Take the dogs for a walk? Or work and pay someone else to do that?! Well, I'll take them myself thanks!ETA - Does anyone else spend a lot of time walking about hearing screams/shooting and wondering where the hell it is coming from? And when you free some hostages, they are running around going "don't kill me" and "noooo" - I want to say "calm down you silly f**er I just killed all the enemy to free you"..

I often spawn in villages to the sound of a raging battle, only to go outside and find the might of the Golden Path focused on an eagle overhead, with hundreds of bullets being spent trying to shoot it down. They should probably patch that as it does break the immersion a bit, it's just daft.

"EAAAAGGGLLLLEEEEE" Always remind me of JD from scrubs when they shout that.
