Far Cry 3

[regexcellent]

I finished it because I actually liked the game. I don't think it sucked. Also I never really used the fire weapons so the fire spreading thing didn't factor. And guns didn't jam if you always used new ones, which I did.

[Al B. Sure!]

No other game as far as I know has had realistic fire. On dry savanna, it would spread rapidly, go up trees, etc. but would scarcely light on damp foliage after a rainstorm. The spreading alone of the fire is probably unknown in any other game where fire is usually a static decoration. I don't even think the fire in Skyrim would spread.

[regexcellent]

I was always really bad at using fire because I tended to have it spread in my direction. The reason I beat FC2 is because I'm willing to go through any shooter which actually lets me move around instead of sticking me in a tunnel. Most tactical depth is completely eliminated in games like CoD and Battlefield because there's no width to the environment. You must follow a tightly controlled path through the level. This is also true (although to a lesser extent) in games like the Halo series and even Half Life 2. So while FC2 missions were samey you could approach them any way you wanted.

And yet you didn't blow things up or use fire as distractions and/or crowd control? Setting something on fire was a great way to get an entire enemy camp in one spot.

I used explosives all the time. What I mean is I didn't use the flamethrower much/ever, and I didn't use the flare pistol a lot either. I did use molotovs. They weren't a huge part of my repertoire.

I had two main tactics: stealth and distance. Generally I would try to engage as few enemies as possible, especially at the same time. On the faction missions where I had to blow up stuff belonging to the other faction I liked using the mortar. I got pretty good at landing dead on with it, then getting away.

And yet despite its terrible interface, I played over 200 hours of that damn game.

Apparently, a brand new version of SkyUI is going to be released in the near-future. So it might be slightly more tolerable.

It is going to have a Mod Configuration Menu like New Vegas, which will be helpful.

I actually have never used SkyUI....it's not on steam workshop is it? I looked at the big skyrim mod site once but was somewhat put off by all the awful nude mods so I never went back.

The nexus is awesome if you can ignore the boobs.

[regexcellent]

Why would you put boobs in skyrim? You can get much better pictures of boobs in all sorts of other places on the internet. Go to google search "boobs."

I don't understand that either, but apparently many people like to play Skyrim and new Fallouts as latex-wrapped large-breasted lolis with everyone else having naked boobs.

[Guynemer]

If you can ignore all the BOOBIE mods, there are absolutely essential things on the Nexus. For Skyrim, SkyUI, Skyrim Redone (SkyRe), and Frostfall are just amazing. For New Vegas, you need NVEC, Project Nevada, FOOK, EVE, and WMX or WME.

I could have told you Far Cry 2 sucks. There's some really cool things about it like the way fire spreads, weather effects, weather effects that actually matter, guns jamming, the cool animation when you heal yourself, the malaria situation, etc. but the game was broken with the respawning enemy camps, the illusion of an open world when it was nothing but valleys, the repetitive missions, and the long travel distance between mission points made worse by the enemy camps.

It was a game with potential that was flawed.

That's why I can't believe regexcellent actually finished the entire game. I got to the second map and quit.

I like the assassination missions. I am playing it through again right now and love the goofyness when all the systems collide. You're not a smart virgin if you can't comprehend the awesome feeling that results when your enemy's gun jams, causing him to retreat backwards into a car that then explodes and causes a fire that knocks off a whole outpost. In far cry 3 dubstep plays from out of nowhere and you get raped by a man. Yes on second thought you should just play far cry 3 you little queer.

[Wiglaf]

You know there iZ a long list of games that are the "Worst of all time" for me, and I say this with all seriousness, but Far Cry 2 has to be the worst game I've played in my entire life.

It was seriously that broKe, unbalanced, and unfun. This is the last I will speaK of that abomination. Holy cKow.

You are seriously so dumb I don't think you qualify as a human being.

I get that this is standard RPG type crafting but why the **** do I need to use shark skin to make the fourth holster or fourth wallet? I mean, it doesn't even seem like it would be a suitable material.

Anyway the key to looting sharks is to sit on the shore near where they spawn and kill them in shallow water with a shotgun so their friends can't gnaw your ass off while you cut them up underwater.

With a shotgun, you say? I've been trying to do this with a handgun, but the bullets don't do anything.

The game does feel like a gritty reboot of Just Cause 2, but at least it doesn't have endlessly respawning soldiers.

The shotguns and sniper rifles are the best guns for hunting by far. Kind of like in real life. Handguns don't have the punch to bring down the sharks in this game.

I went to that little island to the southwest of the doctor's mansion, with the fast travel/safe house place. I stood by the shore or on a pier or something and used the hunting syringe thing that lets you see the animals easier, then just waited for a shark to swim by. Shotgun meat.
