Farcry 4

[parabolica]

Effectively completed this tonight (99.96%); spent the last few days mopping up all the loot chests, outpost tasks and Collectables. Infuriatingly there is one solitary loot chest remaining - locked behind one of those metal doors in an underground bunker

Another annoyance for completionists is that it is not possible to "discover" all locations. Sure, you can visit them, but the little marker that you have to get close to in order to trigger it as "discovered" is off-map (usually underground) and not possible to get close enough to.

Yea I noticed that; one in a river where that truck has sunk to the bottom and another in a dwelling by a cave in the North map. I also thought I couldn't get the final journal (the one in his mum's shrine in Pagan's estate) as I missed it during the mission and the buzzer wouldn't get me past the fort gates during my mop up. Luckily I tried using C4 on the gates (thinking it wouldn't work) and blew a hole in the gate so I was able to get back up there

Have you been to see Rabi-Ray Rana?

This is on Xbox One deals at the moment. £9.60 for standard or £15.84 for Gold. Are the gold edition extras worth it or go with the standard game?

From what I can gather, it's not worth paying 50% more for.

The base game is plenty for a great playthrough. I completed it again over Christnas - such a fun game.

It's good but I prefer the characters and surroundings of far cry 3.

I've just finished replaying this for the second time and had the exact same thought last night! I like the polished touches that FC4 has given us (most notably the Buzzer) but I much preferred the tropical setting of FC3 and Vas was always a present threat, whereas Pagin stays in his Palace until you turn up at the end of the campaign to either kill him or let him go. Same with Paul who we see at the start then the only other interaction you have with him is when you kidnap him.

Going to replay 3 soon, probably after I've finished Until Dawn.

Is anyone picking up Primal? I'm eager to play a new Farcry but this switch to such a different setting, the lack of guns, vehicles etc has me quite apprehensive..

But it seems we're having a switch to this primal theme this year - Farcry, Horizon Zero Dawn, Wild etc

I think it depends on whether you liked the Shangri-La missions in FC4 or not.

Personally, I didn't, so won't be buying Primal.

[smithyithy]

Yeah they weren't really my cuppa tea either..

i cant justify buying a PS4 solely for primal - loved the last 2 games, but im not 100% on this one.

Don't worry, there is Battlefield 4, Battlefront and a few other games that you can use it for.
