Started this. Seems like you need to synchronise radio towers and then leap of faith off them, seems familiar.
That said they did the opening well and it seems like they made good progress from far cry 2 which had some nice ideas which were horribly executed.

i cant get into the story on this one, i had it at the start then when i started opening the map up i lost it... it wont be a problem as long as its not supposed to be a story driven game because im having fun just going round liberating outposts

I gave up on the main quest to fuck about. Throwing a stone to distract a guard and make him run into a tiger does doesn't get old.
Also i was investigating a growl trying to kill a tiger which i'd seen only seconds ago, next thing i knew a alligator was trying to eat me, this game can be pretty hilarious at times.

i took out one of them hunter quests for a yellow neck cassowary, must have shot it 4-5 times with a sniper rifle but the bitch wouldnt go down, instead i was swarmed by 6 of the blue necked ones and beaten to death

Casowaries are the one animal I avoid at all costs.

Remember, if you guys aren't exclusively using stealth kills and the bow, you're playing it wrong.

Mines and C4 are great for setting traps and stuff but aside from that I agree that stealth is the most fun in this. Blood Dragon is much more fun to play Rambo in.

I trump your stealth with tiger power.

Hiding from tigers while they kill the guards is still stealth.

Yeah i noticed that when i got experience at the end of the thing, said i was undetected, which is true considering the alarms being raised were due to the tiger. I wonder what happens to pictures you take on this game. I'm certain I took some of a tiger led into camp.

i have a question for anyone that has finished this game, ive opened the top of the map up & fully liberated it, will that have an impact when i get back to doing the story? i assume it will make it easier as there should be less enemies when im going from place to place

It will make travelling easier but the missions will still have all the enemies they're supposed to. If you finish the whole story you can reset the outposts so all the enemies come back.

If anyone is struggling with stealth here's my protip. If you think you're about to be spotted and there's no cover, just turn the brightness down real quick and it will make it harder for the guards to see you.

How do i get undetected if there's a dog in an outpost? The brightness trick doesn't work cause it can smell me out. Last one I don't think he spotted me adn i shot him last, but i only got no alarm raised.

Shoot it with an arrow when it's somewhere secluded. Or just give up on doing that outpost undetected, there are a couple with 6+ dogs that I just lobbed grenades at because couldn't be bothered.

Dogs are assholes in this game. I generally just lured them with rocks and put an arrow in them.

Forget Far Cry 3, Rambo is coming to PS3 and if you don't think it looks good you obviously didn't watch what happens at 1:13

collectibles... the bane of most games!! finally got them tonight so moving onto my next gripe, the missions seem to be stretching the story too much.

Yeah, you're right he's just incompetent, even being nuts can't explain how freaking terrible he is. I been doing collectible if i'm near them which seems to be working well i've unlocked some cool stuff from grabbing the relics/letters.

The ending for this game is the dumbest shit I've seen in ages. It doesn't even seem to have a point being a choice.
Also QTE bossfights wtf? I mean i guess they looked kinda cool, but how half the time you think your guy is tripping out so you don't know if its actually happening on the other side of things what happens to henchmen and various other factors in each of these situations. There were a couple of cool scenes though.

Save, I can't imagine any normal person went with the other ending.
