So as soon as they let me out of the starting area, I went and capped all the fortresses and points and stuff, but when do they let me past the bridge?

You can access the north half of the map after completing 'A Key to the North' story mission which is around mission 24.

Awesome!
Man, going through the game a second time and making the opposite choices is pretty awesome. Not only do the mission where you choose between Amita and Sabal change, but the objectives in follow up missions change as well. You also get completely different VO tracks where the one you supported gives you orders over the radio.
Has anyone found a tapir in Durgesh DLC yet? You need 2 skins to craft holsters.

So far I found out the radio knows more then I do, [sp] the guy was talking about Amita wanting to be a drug lord and I didn't understand till the mission after [/sp].

You capture certain outposts to get crafting ingredients.
So after re-installing the game i still get the black bars on the top and bottom bug.
then when i download a patch that stops and starts and stops and starts..eventually downloading and the game doesn't even run anymore.
just get error messages that strangely enough sometimes say different things.
So my options are play without being able to see shit or don't play at all
i've lost too much patience with this game now...how i yearn for the time when you could just play a game.
No DLC's ..no "make an account with this to play"...and i remember few bugs that were nothing more than minor annoyances and hilarious moments.
just pop in and play ...them's were the day's lad!
Black bars at the top and the bottom?
You mean letterboxing?
[QUOTE=Coffee;46955221]Black bars at the top and the bottom?

Yes that lol.
Then any updates just straight up break the game.
Oh man, it is so frustating when you aiming down the sights, aiming at the head at medium distance, and somehow it just went over it's head, or i really did 100% shot the guy through the head, but the game says a big nope that it wasn't. Sometimes the results is a big bullsh*t when these things happen.
Oh and i am getting this when i try to do stealth. I like stealth, but when every shot isn't taking the hit, means for me to start it all over. sigh.
Bothered to look around for this game for cheaper and found steam keys for $37 aud instead of $95
buying this shit as soon as I get the money for it

well never mind
god forbid I don't want to spend $75 fucking dollars on it
Didn't know where else to post this, but someone can have my 'Pick your path' key if it's still valid, just send me a PM, first in first served.
This going to sound like a rant. Probably because it is:
I loved the original Far Cry. The first time I played it was after Crysis was first released and despite the antiquated graphics I enjoyed it immensely. So, when Far Cry 2 was released, I - being poor as fuck - bought it as soon as it went on special on Steam. I think in the end I paid about AUS$40 for it.
It was a massive disappointment.
I had two problems with it; first was that it tried to be an RPG shooter and fell short everywhere. Random cases of diamond littered the landscape, you couldn't loot ANYTHING to make cash with, when you bought a gun a magical infinite pile of them appeared just for you all over the place instead of a single weapon, stupidly annoying 'level' system to buy certain weapons, the mission system sucked as you could only take one mission at a time requiring you to double back and forth all the damn time, fucking awful weapon wear system etc.
The second problem is there was pretty much nothing attaching me to the game, the game felt flat and one dimensional. It just felt like I was shooting my way through endless mooks and mook checkpoints. I couldn't even tell which faction I was fighting 90% of the time because they were all the same. Despite being sent in the middle of what was supposed to be a brutal African civil war there was nothing suggesting that except for lots of black people. I expected to being seeing war crimes left and right, fleeing civilians (those people in the underground railroad don't count), child soldiers and all that.
Instead we got a game where you just go to a boss, take a pretty much non-controversial mission, shoot through everyone who stands in your way - because both side no matter who you're working for at the time they'll still shoot at you, do the job, repeat. No war crimes, no being offered controversial jobs and having to decide if you'll take them. No deciding halfway through a job that you're in too deep and backing out, no NOTHING that makes it feel like a real world. Even the buddies were boring as fuck.
In the end I couldn't even make it to the second region so when Far Cry 3 came out I gave it a pass. My little brother did buy it and I happened to be around when he finished the game so I saw the final scenes and fuck I was glad I didn't fork out any money for it.
Anyway, last month I purchased an Nvidia GTX970 and with that I got a shiny coupon for a free copy of one of three Ubisoft games; The Crew, Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed: Unity. Never having any interest in racing games I passed on The Crew and all those images of a buggy Assassin's Creed made me pass on that so I got myself Far Cry 4.
Fucking Hell that was awful. I am damn glad I didn't pay for this one either.
[sp]First issue, like Far Cry 2 was that it tried to be an RPG Shooter and fell short again. My biggest issue in that was with the fucking crafting system. Most RPGs treat crafting as an alternate way to get things. Usually you can make them cheaper than you can buying them but you have to run around getting the necessary parts while fantasy RPGs usually use crafting as a way to produce very rare and powerful items.
Nope, shops couldn't possibly sell things like backpacks or tactical vest, now could they? It's not like they're already selling body armour or modern guns! No, instead I have to run around the forest for three hours trying to find one fucking elusive animal so I can make a damn gun holder thing so I can carry more than one weapon.
I will give Far Cry 4 some credit where it's due; I could actually loot things in this game and sell them, and all the fleeing and dead civilians around the place actually made it feel like a war. No, my biggest peeve with the game was the ending.
Generally in multiple-choice ending games you can get a good ending. Usually you have to work damn hard to get it and it's not perfect but overall it's better than the alternatives. However, in Far Cry 4 that doesn't exist; you have a choice between fucking awful and fucking awful there is no third choice unless you want to finish the game in 20 minutes. You can either follow Sabel who turns Kyrat in a brutal totalitarian theocratic state along the lines of Saudi Arabia and then executes everyone who he thinks was a traitor - many of whom were on his side during the war, or you can follow Amita who ends the game by also going the totalitarian route then conscripts every child into the military and turns Kyrat into Burma 2.0.
And this doesn't even get into how out of character these endings were. Sabal spends most of the game in both actions and words trying to save every member of the Golden Path he can along with many civilians. Sure, he's a religious wack but he seems to care about his people. Amita goes down a similar path; she spends the whole game going on about how it's horrible Kyratian children have never had a chance to BE children then takes that all away all while it's heavily implied she had the girl she treats as a little sister killed so she wouldn't get in the way. They pretty much do a 180 with little forewarning and the worse part is there is no third, forth or fifth option to take.
To me it just seemed like the game writers wanted to blindly shove 'war is always bad' down our throats and that it will always end badly.
I guess in the end is that for the first time in ages a Far Cry game has been good enough for me to really get into it but in the end the only possible option I had was heartbreaking.[/sp]
Anyone else get a similar feeling playing the game?
Far cry 4 was too fun on a surface level for me to give a fuck about the fumbles with the meta game. Fuck crafting I've got a grenade launcher and a mini chopper.

Is it just me, or does Co-op not work at all? Trying to join takes forever and trying to call for online help just gets someone connected for .5 seconds, after which they disconnect and my game loads back to where I called for help.

Try open your port
Playing the PvP to get the trophy, and it's so stupidly unbalanced.
Who the fuck thought it'd be a good idea to have people with bows and knives defend stuff from a team of people with explosives and LMGs?
The animals don't spawn quick enough to be useful so every single game I've played so far has been the Golden Path winning everytime.
Just played through it. The story sucked and most characters sucked as well. This game is huge fun, when you are not following the story. Playing it with a friend and just doing side quests is more fun than the actual story missions.
edit: I completely forgot about the Shangri La missions. Those were quite amazing. There should have been more of them. But I don't count them as story missions as they are optional mostly.

I see them more like sidequests, because they are not actually part of the main story. But yes, one of the few great missions of it. Loved it.
So I bought FC4 today and noticed that time only seems to progress when you move.
I really wanted to 100% this but the fact I have to ride every car and ive got one left which doesn't tell me what or where it is really bugs me

I got stuck on that achievement as well. I'm wondering if there are any vehicles that are part of the DLC (which would suck for those who don't have an interest in spending money to get that achievement).
Since I brought up the DLC, anyone who has the game think it's worth getting?

I personally like it, although I would preffer playing it coop with people
