Just bought this game, won't get a chance to play it until tomorrow. From what I've heard/researched, it's a big open world RPG/1st person shooter on an island with lots of guns. Seems pretty fun. But I have some questions:

Are there lots of sidequests/activities to prevent it from being boring after main campaign is done?

Once you "liberate" all the camps, are there no more bad guys to fight?

Yep that's pretty much it. Feel free to share stories or opinions about the game. Please refrain from posting spoilers.

The side quest blow, and there are random roaming bands of pirates.

Only "Side Quests" are:

Kill This guy with a knife

Kill this animal with this weapon.

Otherwise, the rest of the game is the main quest.

After beating campaign you can play MP and play on Custom maps.

It's amazing. The story is second to none in video games recent history.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

What the hell is a RPS?

Once you "liberate" all the camps, are there no more bad guys to fight?Not sure.


Tips:

Get the bow/arrow - one of the best weapons.

Locate the radio towers first - then assault the outpost.

Deactivate the alarms before attacking or picking off people.

Hunt, hunt and hunt. (It's better if you liberate an area before hunting if the animal you're looking for is in a red area.)

Yes it is... Actually...

The story is fixed, but the game has a lot of elements reminiscent of RPG's.

They're incredibly repetitive, monotonous, and outright easy.
All of them are incredibly close by, where you just walk up a Hill, shoot something, and then BAM! Instant Cash!
There isn't any depth or fun to be had with the Side Quests.

  • 12.28.2012 11:39 PM PDT

I agree that the side quests are pretty bad. I gave up on a lot of the Hunting and Wanted missions mid-way through the game because it got really repetitive. That said, the main story is pretty good. I didn't really connect with the Jason, the main character, and some of the plot elements weren't that good, but, the narrative kept me interested until the end. By the time I had beat the game, I had all the outposts liberated and the whole map uncovered, as well as all the other achievements in the game, so I was ready to stop playing.

It kept me entertained for about 20 hours, and it was 20 hours of fun. It never felt boring or repetitive to me (other than the side quests, which I stopped doing).

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

Barely...you don't really choose a "role". They try to present 3 possible roles, long distance, frontal assault, and stealth, but you can do all of them pretty well even without the skill points, and you can get all the skill points really easily anyway, so...w/e.

Love the game though.

I really liked the Rakyat missions. And I actually like the assassination missions because it was another reason to try and string together a bunch of cool takedowns. Hunting missions were dumb tho imo, I preferred just exploring and hunting by myself.

It does have RPG elements but they don't matter at all. Guns are not leveled, enemies are not leveled, you can be good with every gun, and you can go through the levels without touching the RPG elements since, they aren't important to the gameplay. Every game reviewer, the company, and most people I know would call it a Open world FPS with RPG elements.
