Not sure where I am and don't really care either! I'm just enjoying trying to take all the outposts silently without being noticed. I guess I'll have to do some missions to open stuff up though. I quit last night before saving madam from the burning building. It's odd because in the Uncharted games in 3rd person I really enjoy the story led objectives. After running round this island for a few hours, saving liability Lil feels like a real chore. I just want to keep exploring.

It is the complete opposite of its predecessor, that I turned off after an hour. Frame rate aside (and I'm amazed you haven't noticed it ), timey is right. This game is a gem and I am completely lost in it at the moment.

I played it solid for 3 weeks and still i can not stop playing it,on my 3rd play through and still have not touched multiplayer.

Times like this i wish i was a PC gamer because this game even though i think its awesome would have been a visual treat on a high end PC .

Glad you are liking it mrnelster,have you ranked up and tried some of the various skills like killing a pirate and using his knife to kill another one,or killing a pirate and pulling his grenade and kicking him into other pirate or a vehicle and watching the awesome explosion.

And Buck is even better than Vaas as a Character and the Island is beautiful and has to have the best design of any game i have played,like mrnelster says i can get lost just wandering around the island spending hours doing virtually nothing but the odd tower or camp,so much to do and explore.

I even enjoy doing the [forgot what they are called] red rock quests [tasks] like running over pirates with the vehicle required or killing as many as you can in a particular time limit........Awesome stuff

It is a good game and I also have to say one more out post then I'm off to bed

I'm glad I never bothered adding the predator pack, I don't fancy having to deal with dinos

Just played the first 3 missions in co-op on the ps3, i now remember why i hate shooters on consoles.

Recoil/damage is all over the place with most of the guns- have to empty a clip to kill someone at close range- best way of clearing out is have one player go with the assult rifle and nades and the other with the nade launcher and molitov's as the expolsives make short work of the AI- infite ammo from the ammo points.

Only real proablem is snipers and rpg's as most guns at range are pretty poor with the hit detection- though even close range you can spray and get a headshot.
Since you cannot die its quite funny when you rush in to revive your teammate and then get the game wanting to reload your weapon as reload/revive are both square- then to knife a enemy and finally heal yourself.

Ive got the game on PC so will try out single player and prehaps the multiplayer online- hopefully its alot more reedeming the console version which didnt look great.

If you have played just consoles for years then Far Cry 3 on the system is as sweet as a nut and as good as it can be on ageing systems.

I have not played the PC version so i don't care as i think it looks just fine on a 360,obviously on a high end PC there would be no comparison .

I got it for Christmas too and absolutely love it, it's a very good game. I would agree with the comment someone made earlier (sorry forgot who it was) about losing animals once killing them. I did a hunter task that was to kill 5 deer with a sniper, I only found the body for 2 of them! I was looking exactly where I killed them, but the problem is the bodies slide down the hills / mountains and then they seem to just disappear sometimes, really odd but not a massive deal..... just means I need to wait a bit longer to make my new gun pouch

I think they have done a great job of not making it repetitive, there are so many different things to do like the towers, outposts, rakyat challenges, hunter challenges etc. you can play for a few hours and have a very varied experience throughout. Top class game

Game of the year

That was me, some times if you move away from where you killed them they vanish.
Tis a very good game. I have all the upgrades now.
I can't get to the bottom island, I guess I have to wait for a mission for it to open??

Hey T2D what do you think of BF3??

In reply to a post by time2die:

Game of the year

Haha yea me too

Did i say mate that i bought the game again with all the expansion packs included,mind you it did cost like £40 or something from game a couple of weeks before Christmas.

To be honest swanny i have not touched anything but Far Cry 3 since 30th November because as you have guessed i just love this game so much.

If they released this like they do Cod every year i would be very happy gamer,but class games don't come around that often.

As for Black Ops 2 then i might as well have left the wrapper on because its either me getting older and wiser and less patient because i just don't like this game anymore and i really think Treyarch have not really added anything to this franchise and its become stale and boring.

Next November with whats left of Infinity Ward/Sledgehammer Games i will be watching closely and unless its absolutely mind blowing and more than likely on a next generation xbox/playstation then i wont be buying it.

Basically after playing Far Cry 3 for me anyway...........Not a lot comes close,and Black Ops is just a few weeks/days away from been traded as its just collecting dust.

Like i said Swanny Battlefield has a lot more depth than Black Ops and most Cods and i admit its a good game,after all your constant banter regarding the game for the past 12 months made me reinvest in it once again even though i have yet to play it.

Mind you have have downloaded all the updates and map packs that took vitally 3 hours on the 360,but thats about as close i have come.

Im sure in time i will revisit the Battlefield game,saying that there is a lot of games out in the next few months and Shopto.net has many of my pre/orders already.
