The game has its flaws, but at the same time, I can say without any hesitation, that this is the best open world game I've ever played.
I'm also completely taken aback by how meaty the multiplayer experience is.

How do i see my current objectives?

Holy shit.
"Straight-up unplayable"? "Worst running game"? "Broken">... no, scratch that, "BROKEN" with ALL CAPITAL LETTERS!
Guess that 10-15 hours I just spent on playing the 360 version was just my mushroom-induced imagination then :O Or maybe I just got a magical version where I could, holy shit, play through all that while everyone else got the unplayable version? :O
Maybe everyone else got that Skyrim PS3's zero framerate version in the 360 version and only my version magically suffered no problem at all? Woah I am so lucky! :O

Goddamn people are so fond of unbelievable exaggeration sometimes.
If it's a story objective the game would beat it out to you for like, every couple of minutes or so, hahaha. Sidequests just check out the map, I guess--the game always marked your objective.

I dont understand it either. I have yet to have any debilitating frame rate issues, and the the tearing is really not that bad.
The story also seems fine to me so far. But I will agree that my friends are douchebags.

So I found a safe spot on a hill overlooking an outpost. I pull out my handy sniper rifle and quickly get to work on these pirates who all enjoy dressing the same. As a couple of headshots, and letting them call for reinforcements, I swear I heard a pirate start laughing. I didn't think anything of it and continued to look through the scope. Moments later I get attacked and mauled to death by a tiger.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME
Gonna have to try this. :lol

Hahahahahahahahah nice.
Seriously? That's weird.
I messed around with the rebels again for awhile tonight, dude's are crazier than a rat in a tin shit house. Love em. Can you actually get in and ride with them though? I really just to cruise with these dudes and look for trouble so I can fight with them, but I can't seem to actually get in the car with them, just commandeer it, which makes them all get out. I did manage to jump and sit on the top of one of their jeeps, and they took off, but as soon as I move the left analogue stick the tiniest bit, I fell off.
They should make some DLC where you just ride all over the island with these guys, running over animals and fightin' dudes.
Edit: There totally is a part in that Criken video towards the beginning where you are driving with the rebels in the vehicle with you....maybe I'm experiencing a glitch?
Uhh... Everybody get it before they fix it! http://impulsedriven.com/products/ESD-IMP-W2385

Strongly disagree. That would stamp out any fun to be found in this game.
Doesent work. $69.97 when you click add to cart.
It did for me. A shame I already bought it full-price (not really, the game is awesome), but I'll just gift this to a friend or sell it on ebay or something.
Thanks for the heads-up!

Region restricted, doesn't work in the US. Funnily enough through the UK site you can choose to see the currency converted to dollars.

Completed this yesterday and quite frankly I loved every moment of it's campaign story. Loved that they didn't repeat any of the radio towers, making them all unique in some way. Must replay it and get all the upgrades and hidden items. I want to complete this game and that is a rare feat
It worked for Australians about twenty minutes ago: http://imgur.com/KFvRZ
So pleased, bargain of the year!

Nice work! Also in Oz, but as soon as I click 'add to cart', the price balloons to something more realistic and non-super-bargainy.
EDIT: Just too late, I guess - wacky pricing anomaly looks to have been corrected now. Bummer.

Damnit, it's disabled for me. I have it in chart for 6.59, but when I try to checkout it shows an error.
This is the first open world game where I've wanted to really finish the main story. So interesting. Gotta save mah friends!
Uplay is a load of shit though. No screenshots? No overlay web browser? No game play time? If you're going to compete with Steam at least have half the functionality.
If I finish the main story can I carry on playing?

Gamespot are streaming the Unarmed Jungle Adventure challenge.
They use a random number generator.
Johnny went for a shark with bow, but forgot to skin so the shark sank to the bottom. With all the fumbling over the skinning collision detection, he drowned himself!

It's so great, isn't it? best open world story i've played
I've read in the far cry 2 vs 3 thread a few times people saying the story is "Horrible" and "terrible" and it just blew my mind.
That's because it is horrible. It has too many plot points that are either left hanging or never explored at all and the only well done character
is stamped out halfway through the game and only given like 3 instances to really talk

Aaaand he just set a flare gun to an innocent civilian!
Maybe I don't feel like that because I've only just gotten to the Oliver part but I don't see how they could ruin it.
Saving your friends and dealing with huge scumbags = good motivation to complete the game and a good story to keep me wanting more
The problem is most people seem to feel like the friends that we're saving aren't worth saving and if given a choice we'd leave their asses behind. I wasn't bothered by most of them as much, except for the stoner asshole, but most of their potential to shine as characters is never realized by the writers. It's what I hate most about these modern AAA games that try to focus on story. They usually sacrifice so much gameplay to tell the story and they don't even try to tell a complete one.

Shark + flamethrower is impossible. Who knew.
Grabbed this from impulse thanks to that price error (only played the intro so far) but I can't seem to be able to unlock the bonus content of the deluxe edition.
I tried inserting the serial key with and without dashes, but I only receive a "key already used", which is both normal (I used the key to register the game on UPlay) and silly (the instructions tell me to use this key in the game to unlock the bonus stuff).
Anyone else had this problem and was able to fix it?

I'm currently trying to download Far Cry 3 though the GameStop App, but it's incredibly slow and I have no idea how to fix it.
It's showing me that it's downloading with 1MB/s , but it took 1 hour to download 1 GB, so it's obviously lying. Did anyone else have problems with extremely slow downloads with that program? Any way to fix it?

No offense, but I just can't take anything you say seriously. All of your posts are littered with extreme exaggerations and extreme negativity in an attempt to bring attention to yourself. You posted about Hitman (a game you haven't played) yesterday in a mocking way quoting your negative opinion as if you were some sort of forum celebrity. Just really rubs me the wrong way. It's like you try to one-up yourself to be overly negative about everything so you get attention from your posts.

I actually liked ollie. the dude is totally detached for the most part, because hes high. a lot. he doesn't have any ill will and literally made me laugh out loud when he said
he was going to stay with Dr, Earnhardt
And your inability to critically think about games and accept total crap as great rubs me the wrong way, so I guess we're even there.

Not sure if there are any tricks. Maybe headshots do more damage but I don't know that for sure. The best way to avoid their damage is to find a rock or something that they can't climb up to you and shoot them but some times I did that it ran way off in the opposite direction of me to the point where I had to go chase it.

So what's the trick to hunting Leopards with a bow?
Takes 5 dozen arrows to kill them, apparently.
Takes 5 dozen arrows to kill them, apparently.
Bought the game today for around 8 bucks together with far cry 2 and 1 from a gamestop/impulse sale (probably a misprice).
Freed 3 outposts and did 3 radio towers. Had some fun things happen already. While I was scouting out an outpost and was just about to engage, a tiger just walked in and killed everyone...

Headshots, I think I've killed them with 2 shots which at least one was in the head.

The story is ok. Simple set up for an action type of story. I just don't like the main characters. I thought Vaas was really awesome and Hoyt was pretty cool too. Pretty much everybody you meet in the game I like better than Jason and his friends.

Use one of those potions that make you deal more damage.
Then hope it doesn't fall off a cliff onto an unreachable rock, when you do finally kill it. :/
For hunting with the crossbow I just use the Animal Repellent syringe. Not sure if you guys deliberately avoid using it since you want a more challenging experience, but I can't be bothered. It makes it much more efficient since you can essentially hound the animal without worrying that it'll attack you.
100% accurate

Continued the main story again on second island! Holy Cow this game just delivers! I had to put it down for other games but it pulled me right back in. Can't wait to mop up more posts post game! So good!

I agree. Getting very tiresome.
For leopards with a bow and other like missions, remember - you can also kill them with the knife! It's the specified weapon, or the knife.
So you use one of those syringes that makes your attacks against animals stronger, shoot one with an arrow, it start charging you, maybe you get one more shot in, maybe not - but then when it's near, a couple of knife swipes will finish it off and count.
