    I can vouch for a helicopter potentially blowing up.

    It's mainly used for when you unlock the airdrop skill/perk.

    Only played an hour but loving this so far, I think the Himalayas put me off 4 whereas this is all trailer parks and yee-haw stalking with a bow. I'm not sure I've done a story mission yet, I'm not sure which ones even are story missions.

    I played the last one like that, disappeared off into the wilderness at the first opportunity to murder hundreds of people and drape the rancid skins of rare animals across my face.

    I've found myself stood in the middle of a road blowing shit up for chunks of time with no rhyme or reason.

    Did a spot of fishing last night. Pretty fun and relaxing

    Wow, you can pay £75 for this game if you want. Some people really must be complete morons.

    They were selling a Ni No Kuni 2 Collectors Edition for 150 quid in my local shop. You couldn't even see what was inside it.

    Saw this for sale for £30 from ebay (turns out it came with a hard drive the seller bought but didn't want the game. It's the Uplay version, that'll work with the Steam one right?

    I'm pretty much done with the first island. Just the final boss to go. The way they've managed to make the flow of the game just going from point to point is really well done.

    This is great. Really fucking good. Loads of shit to do but ti doesn't crowd your HUD with markers anymore, its suitably mental while also being tense and the setting is perfect.

    Was fishing earlier with a gun merchant just standing around behind me waffling away when all of a sudden I hear a loud scream, but I've got a catch and its a tricky bastard so fucked if I'm helping. Gun merchant innit, you got that shit. Reel that sucker in quick sharp, turn around and he's on the floor being decimated by a black bear who's now looking right at me, charges, knocks me into the water. I swim around to the side, chuck a remote explosive and blow it to fuck. Just as that happens I hear the YEEHAH of the hicks charging me, whip out a molotov and have them up in flames then shoot the canister on a flamethrower guy so he fucking explodes all whilst my gun merchant dies, I run away and stumble on a small side quest mission that gives me a slight puzzle for solid rewards, new gun and three upgrade points (perks).

    Its a lovely world, feels like Far Cry refined. The world isn't scatted with map points, the gameplay feels very emergent, the gun play is satisfactory and all the shit ya hated is basically gone. Even has a solid health regen system that rewards running the fuck away and regrouping. Plus the roads are chock full of mentalists who will attack on sight.

    When you say first island, is there an order you're meant to do them in?

    I went straight to Faith.

    First island is, I assume, Dutch's place where you start out.

    I went for John Seed's region - I think that's meant to be the place you go first as it has a) Boomer and b) a lower "resistance score" than the other two areas. My internal logic was that he was doing the training/recruiting for the cult, so offing him would stop that supply. But it doesn't really matter which you pick.

    Honest opinions, lads: Far Cry 2?

    I loved that game and the whole malaria thing just got usurped by the whole 'drug interlude' nonsense. Guardposts were bollocks but FC2 contained a level of planning to me that made each mission a little more interesting.

    Farcry 2 had the best fire physics I'd ever seen at that point, but the rest of the game was arse. The only fun I got out of it was lobbing a molotov into one end of a field and watching the blaze spread to the other side.

    I enjoyed the last two but not enough to pay full price for this. I'll get it in a couple of months when it costs twenty quid preowned.

    I'm almost certain I bought Far Cry 2 based on you singing its praises at the time DS. 2008 though? I'm not sure if you were around or still on hiatus at that point? It's very possible I could be confusing it with one of the (many) other games I've bought on the exact same premise.

    It was a good game though, but (from what I remember) the gameplay was a lot more unforgiving, and the it was a lot more serious in tone. It also had perhaps the strangest voice acting I've ever encountered in my video-gaming life too. They all sounded like they were talking at about 1.5x the speed it has been originally recorded at, it was bizarre.

    Yeah, it was very exaggerated African. You have actual proper actors in that cast, as well.

    Far Cry 2 was immense, high point of the series. Weapon selection mattered, your character and the setting made sense. The malaria mechanic and to a lesser extent the respawning checkpoints got really tired by the end of the game but it had atmosphere by the bucket.

    I'd have liked FC2 more if I'd had just a little more room to breathe in it. The flare gun, a sniper rifle and high ground above a grassy outpost was just a joy.

    I will be but as we discussed, I dunno when I'll get it. Like John I probably won't be getting it full price.

    The dart gun or the giant sniper rifle/cannon plus a pistol was always the loadout of choice. Scoping out where all the gas canisters wee was a must.

    Yeah it would've been me, it became an obsession for about two months, easily put a hundred hours or so into it. The world was unforgiving, it was harsh, it encouraged tactics and discipline. Truly phenomenal game, you felt as if you were the hunted.

    The cut scenes in this are pretty jarring. They never seem to happen at a point where you think it would make sense. Just haphazardly for no reason.

    This is cool: https://youtu.be/gXJG8C4-X5Q - albeit you can jump out a plane and land on someone's head

    The flaws were pronounced as fuck (repeating the same outposts and roadblocks over and over and both factions still gunning for you when you’re working for them) but, it was way, way, way ahead of its time. The malaria stuff was great too, sitting nicely somewhere between the over zealous implementation of the filters in the original Metro game and the underwhelming radiation poisoning in Fallout 3.

    This. When you learned how to master those tactics, trying different ones along the way, it’s incredibly empowering and satisfying.

    3 was disappointing in being such a departure from that, though the sheer fun and production values made up for it (and especially blood dragon which might be my favourite DLC of all time)and 4 obviously repeated the formula. I see this one just continues to refine that whilst again having a largely disposable and at times jarring narrative. I’ll enjoy it I’m sure.

    I never got around to the Primal one - the only in the series that I’ve missed... is it worth giving a go?

    The best thing was to plan your movement to avoid the roadblocks. Admittedly on some missions you couldn't but when traversing, just stick to the long grass and creep by.

    Is that one where he drops on a guy from a million yards up a "non-lethal" takedown?

    I love those. I got a similar one from Dishonored 2.

    I also "knocked out" a Korean goon on that first beach in the original Crysis by nailing him with a washing machine from about 40 yards away.

    That’s what I ended up doing. Especially in the second zone which had more jungle and less savannah. If spotted, Molotov the jungle, leg it around a corner then back to sneaking along and occasionally using a silenced sniper to pluck a head off some shoulders.

    Yeah but he's incredible just in general.

    He's also running round outposts sliding around getting headshots with a silenced pistol as well as lobbing C4, detonating it in mid-air and killing loads.

    The guy is fucking good.

    Taking out John Seed is a fucking dreadful mission. Plane-on-plane combat is a shambles. I sacked it off and used a chopper.

    The mission before that that involves bombing things. My word. I nailed the first one and then proceeded to spend almost all of the money I had earned up to that point on more bombs.

    The planes being brought in to down you when you get to the second resistance level on John's bit is bad enough. What a dreadful thing to put in a game, or at least implemented in such a way that the plane can constantly see you.

    It's absolutely no threat unless you stand completely still.

    I think they really fuck this games pacing by not forcing you to unlock levels in order. I just did the Jail mission in Faith land and once completed some woman gave me the stink eye because 'What have they ever done to stop this cult?'

    I mean I've only killed one of the three heads and freed an entire third of the state. But yeah, what have I done really.

    I've now taken out two of the main bosses and unlocked most of the allies. The 50 cal sniper rifle is a must unlock ASAP - so effective, just like in previous games.

    The story mechanism where you continually get kidnapped/drugged every so often to go and get lectured by Jesus hipsters is wearing a bit thin, mind.

    Yeah, the game doesn't need four of them. My favourite one came in Far Cry 2. There's like a car right outside your cell.

    Mike wants me to drop £23 (+£27 steam credit made from cards & pubg items) on this to co-op on PC.

    Convince me it’s good.
