Finished the game last weekend and it was a great game, I like the fact that they made it more like GTA and less like previous Farcrys, although it was still undeniably Farcry.
What I didn't like was the horrible multiplayer achievements/trophies. Admittedly, they could have been much worse, but they could have been better too. Although, really if not for the "winnin
My biggest personal gripe was weapon swiping display. I found this to be very intrusive. Accidentally picking up a weapon that I didn't want happened far too often. Countless times I was killed due to this. Ubisoft should patch in the option to turn it off. Afterall, it doesn't take too long to have the arsenal that you want.
I like that you were given complete freedom to complete the game in any order, but they gave you a bit too much freedom that caused the narrative to suffer. Points needed to take over a region where perhaps a bit too easy to come by. IN Johns region I was getting blitzed non-stop by VIP cultists, large trucks, outposts that I feasted on those for resistance points allowing me to get to the "forced capture" sections rather quickly, which apparently it locked me out of completing story missions. I had no idea that there was a story mission to take over Fall's End. All I know is that John was attacking that area and here I was talking to all these characters I had never done anything for. Freedom is nice, but this could have been handled a little better.
Now, its somewhat pointless to criticize a story in a Farcry game, but the "forced capture" sections were beyond stupid. Somehow afterall the havoc I caused to the main characters, they somehow have this magic bullet to easily capture me. I escape through some sort of dream sequence. Not to mention i personally found those dream sequence sections to be the most unfun part of the game.
I loved the Prepper Stash missions. Best part easily.
Somebody else mentioned it and I have to agree with the disappointing lack of weapons. Almost every weapon was simply a reskin of another. I pretty much had every weapon I wanted very early in the game.
