I thought maybe to get a screenie topic going for anything cool, funny or that just looks nice. Here's a few to get things going in the "just nice" genre :-()
Night skies look simply fantastic in FC3.
[smg id=4961 align=center width=600]
Definitely a better-looking Moon than FC2's. This is more like its proper size, not looking like it's on a collision course with Earth, and has a realistic glow around it. Isn't this a romantic scene? Limpid moonlight, waving palms... gunfire...
[smg id=4962 align=center width=600]
The sun rays still filter through the trees like in FC2 but now with a neat lens-flare effect added.
[smg id=4963 align=center width=600]
Great shots fragger! :-X
I especially like the last one which reminds me so much of Africa in FC2 ^-^
Nice shots there fragger :-X
I've just arrive at the beach at sunset with a character; it's the most beautiful scene in this game.
where is your mini map?
Well blow me down, I didn't notice that! Apparently it doesn't get included in the screenshot, nor presumably would any other HUD stuff that may be showing at the time of the capture. Excellent!
Nice spot there Art :-D
hehe :-()
Nice pics and atmosphere there.
I have seen other screen shots with hud elements and mini-map present - so fragger must be a genius or using the force :)
Nice pics mate! :-X
How did you make them? I'm sure you didn't use Steam-sceenshot ability since you don't have a very good connection. That's what I do to get sceenies and they are all hood-included :-(
I'm just hitting the Print Screen key (PrtScn), the pics get stored in My Documents/My Games/Far Cry 3/Screenshots. That's all :)
If you take a swipe with your knife (hit your takedown key, F by default), there's a fraction of a second before the knife flashes across the screen. Hit PrtScrn almost immediately after the takedown key and you can get a picture with no weapon showing:
No fightin' - gone fishin'
[smg id=4964 align=center width=600]
hehe, he who mastered the old FC2 techniques will master the new FC3 techniques just as well :-D Cheers, fragger :)
I'll have to see if I can produce some without HUD, too. These are from the steam screen capture tool:
Some flash back.
[smg id=4965 type=link align=center width=500 caption="2012 12 08 00055"]
Waterfalls.
[smg id=4966 type=link align=center width=500 caption="2012 12 09 00031"]
Indeed, it works. Man, those in-game screenshots take up about 2-3megs each.. better convert them ^-^
[smg id=4967 type=link align=center width=500 caption="FC3 0001"]
[smg id=4968 type=link align=center width=500 caption="FC3 0002"]
Very cool - that one through the tunnel at a bridge reminds me of FC2 :-X
Nice ones, Art :) :-X
Yep, I had to convert mine too, they were huge :-()
It's such a great-looking environment, it's hard to do find places that aren't like postcard material :-()
I love the way waterfalls are done in this game, they look superb. Same with the sky and the light that the sun and moon cast on the water.
cheers, guys :)
The only thing they didn't do well is the horizon when looking at the sea. The "fake" mountains seem to be rather near but touch the horizon which makes the horizon appear too near and that makes it look as if it was cut off -- just as if you'd stand on top of a mountain plateau close to a waterfall.
Here's a bunch more. It's got to be one of the richest-looking FPS games around, the wealth of detail and the variety of stuff to be found is amazing. I see so many terrific photo ops in this game that I could take a thousand, but I guess I have to make the cutoff somewhere :-()

Wow, I haven't seen half of that stuff :-X
I think I found fragger's crab :) Well, even if it wasn't fragger's, you won't find this crab any more. :-D
[smg id=4977 type=link align=center width=500 caption="2012 12 08 00085"]
Did you step on it to make it splat like that? ????
Well, no. Actually I used the crab opener you see there in my hands. :-D
:-()
Has anyone been to this temple? Looks interesting in the potential to find artifacts or good loot
[smg id=4978 width=400 align=center]
Nah I don't think so. Yeah there's a good chance you'll find relics and sme loot chest there.
FC3 is really better than FC2 in many ways, one of which is the exploration aspect. Not only is it beautful, it also doesn't look samey, and has a lot of interesting locations to explore which was non-existent in FC2.
I agree; the islands are as diverse in their environment as Just Cause 2.

Hey! I don't have any crabs! :-()
I agree about the game world, it's beautiful and diverse, and I think we could be finding new stuff for ages. There are temple ruins all over the place. I like how the evidence for different periods of history is scattered all over the islands - ancient temples, remains of shipwrecks from different periods, old WW2-era forts, I even found a couple of rusting crash-landed Zeros.
I saw a stingray in the water the other night, and came across a pair of giant tortoises that pulled themselves into their shells when I got close 8) Just when you think you've spotted all the creature types, something new pops up.

This is one of the reasons I like the game so much. Despite my complaints about the linearity of the main missions, I'm discovering that they are not as annoying to me as I originally thought they would be. My test of how much I like a game is how often I take time to play it, and if the anticipation of playing gets me excited. So far, the game is slowly becoming more interesting to me especially when I read of the adventures that many of you are having.
It was probably the realisation that the main missions were going down the CoD path that distressed me :-() It was like, "Oh no, not this! What have they done?!" Fortunately a lot of the mains aren't real long and as I said elsewhere, once you've done them and know what to expect they'll probably go a lot easier.
There is a ton of fun to be had outside of those, and you can spend hours just driving around taking in the scenery.
Thunderstorms are cool, you can almost smell the ozone in the air :-X
indeed, and agree.. I love the environment with the free-roam aspect and all its surprises and that easily helps overcome some irrelevant main mission.. :-()

Great screenies. :-X
Nice ones all, Art :-X :)
Some of those sunsets are amazing. In fact all the skies in FC3 are strikingly realistic. I've been trying to w@&k out if they're actually parallaxed photos that are subtly swapped when you're not looking to reflect time of day, of if they are in fact fractally generated like FC2's. If so, then it's a remarkable job.
Fantastic; live seeing your pics, Art :-X
[smg id=4994 align=center width=600]
Very nice screenshots, Art and fragger :-X. I am tempted to capture a few of my own and put them up here :)
cheers, guys :) And lol, fragger :laugh:
My first captured outpost on the southern map. Nothing special but I can't stop looking at it :)

temple view
[smg id=4989 type=link align=center width=500]
I wonder if that's the same place as depicted in this shot from the Minecraft version....
[smg id=4784]
I really need to get this game installed, it's just sitting there on the desk mocking me every time I play Minecraft.
I'm quite positive it is, D_B. There is a big tree in the centre, and that is indeed where the Temple is and what it looks like there. :) Stop MC for a while and marvel at the islands and their secrets :)
Here's one of those booby-trap situations. Three pirates hang around a burning car:
[smg id=4998 align=center width=600]
Then BOOM! Pirates on toast! The Ratyak are presumably behind these traps, but you never see them putting them in place. You just see the pirates standing around watching it until it blows up. A split second after I took this shot, the guy closest to the car went flying >:D
[smg id=4999 align=center width=600]
This is a fun location, a small township near the centre of the north island. Part of a mission takes place here, where you and a bunch of Ratyak guys ambush some pirates who are transporting Ratyak prisoners and you have to snipe from the top of the water tower (out of frame to the left here), then jump into a truck and chase the APC. I tried to get a screenie of the map location but the map picture didn't come out.
[smg id=5000 align=center width=600]
I took the photo from the top of this church tower (just like Sefapane!) Bad guys seem to keep spawning - well, arriving from outside town, same thing - but not at a rate that becomes overwhelming, just a few at a time. They don't appear to be able to climb ladders so they can't get to you, and unlike the church tower in Sefapane, this one has a window on every side that you can look out of. A fun hold-the-fort fight that can last as long as your ammo holds out (you can always nip out between waves and snaffle the dead guys' ammo, if you have a weapon for it - or take one of theirs).
[smg id=5001 align=center width=600]
Here's why you sometimes get a rude surprise in a river! Spot the croc:
[smg id=5002 align=center width=600]
Here he is:
[smg id=5003 align=center width=600]
They just lie there at the water's edge until something comes close. And that led to one of the coolest things I've seen in the game so far. Shortly after I took this, a goat wandered too close to the water's edge and the croc shot out, grabbed the goat and pulled it under. I thought that was brilliant 8)
Here's another one (it's actually dead, this is after I blasted it with a shottie):
[smg id=5004 align=center width=600]
Nice pics man :) :-X Those crocs are really hard to spot until they jump right at you.
Here is a situation similar to fragger's booby trap pics: I approached and the car was on fire, to the left is a location where locals w@&k and walk around. Then the car blew up and took out the mercs
[smg id=5006 type=link align=center width=500 caption="FC3 0015"]
[smg id=5007 type=link align=center width=500 caption="FC3 0016"]
:-X That's the one!
The explosions look great in this game!

I'm going to try this weekend, really I am, but the Feed The Beast mods for Minecraft have just so many cool things to build. Made a jet pack and laser last night, more fun. Now to figure out how to tap an oil well, and w@&k up to getting a nuclear reactor going. Though my solar panels are giving me plenty of power for what I need right now.
:-D
OK, I guess 20 hours straight, missions only and a few upgrades for being able to carry more than one weapon at least, and you're back to MC. If it takes longer.. like 120 hours straight.. then you might have started to like FC3 without thinking.. ^-^
Yeah, unlike you, I need to sleep now and then, lol.
he knows me well, he knows me so damn well ^-^
Those are fantastic shots guys :-X
fragger, when you were in that Church tower, were you on that mission or just free roaming?
I need to start experimenting with mines and C4 - something like sneaking down to plant C4 on a truck where the pirates have walked away momentarily.
I was just traipsing around, PZ. I came across the town and thought, "Hey, this is a cool little village" the realised it was where that mission took place. It clicked when I saw the water tower :-()
Excellent news - that means that the pirates come back to the area and you can continue to have a good time experimenting. :-X
There's another place where the pirates keep respawning, that dock-type area where you rescue one of your friends - Keith, I think his name is, the scruffy doper with the baseball cap. I can't remember where on the map it is, only that you never run out of pirates there. Another place is the lumber yard, wherever that was - it's too soon in the game to remember where all these places are :-\\

we should go there more often and feed villagers to the crocs to keep them happy and away from us. >:D

Well, here's my first experience driving. Due to a game that can't understand remapped keyboard controls, I could only steer left, right into a tree.
[smg id=5020]
I hate that car; it drives like you are on an ice skating rink
:-D You're right, it doesn't seem to have any traction. Everyone's a DD in those cars :-()

This was odd. This bloke came wandering down the beach carrying a metal beam, which he just dropped on the sand before moving away and remonstrating with himself. Evidently he's been on the island too long...
[smg id=5026 align=center width=600]
very nice :-D
You find the coolest places, fragger :-X
Very nice shots, fragger. I really enjoy shots with comments like that. Kudos to you. These screenies prove FC3 setting much more interesting than FC2's
Thank you muchly chaps, it's my pleasure to share these with you :)
I was told that they'd prepare a really hot curry on the beach here.
[smg id=5031 type=link align=center width=500 caption="FC3 0017"]
I really enjoy views like this one:
[smg id=5032 type=link align=center width=500 caption="FC3 0018"]
Excellent snapshots; I did not think I would like the jungle because I thought it would be more like FC2 - way too dense, and difficult to see through. I like the FC3 environment much more than I originally thought. :-X
In a way FC3 is much closer to the original (FC1) than FC2 was. Except for the monsters which I am more than happy about :-D I loved the "tropical island" scenario of FC1 so I was never 100% happy with Africa but now I am happy again :)
Cool shots Art :-X I like the curry one (the comment and the picture) :-()
I love the way the sky looks in this game :-X
I also enjoyed the tropical island setting of FC1 and I'm glad they've gone back to it. Some places look so good that it's almost like being on holidays - well, except for the gunplay :-()
Shwasana Village, FC3 style:
[smg id=5033 align=center width=600]
Yet another species of wildlife spotted! The camera will actually tag these turtles. Dunno why you can't tag crocodiles though.
[smg id=5034 align=center width=600]
And then there's this. Now I know what stung me during my deep relic dive the other day. Don't get too close to it!
Sorry about the crummy quality of this one, it was deep and my vision was blurred.

[smg id=5038 align=center width=600]
Haha, nice shots, and the Dr King comment :laugh:
There are white and orange jellyfish. I guess an orange one stung you ???
The Doctor's (not King's but Earnhardt's) mansion sports a vending machine and in the girl's room will always be a med kit that upon walking over it will give you health syringes. Plus there is a hang glider with which you can get to places about 1.5km away. I like to fast-travel there and make use of all of the above :)
Another great set fragger :-X
There are evidently so many places to find interesting items, I doubt it will get old any time soon. ^-^
Great screenies, fragger :-X Funny comment about Martin Luther King :laugh:
We can't tag chickens and sometimes birds
I haven't seen the orange jellyfish, but the white ones definitely sting - I swam into this one on purpose to make sure :-() It's actually a box jellyfish, if you look closely at the picture you can see how the tentacles are in four clusters spaced around the edge of the body. So, being one of the most toxic creatures on the planet with the ability to inflict about the most excruciating pain a human being can know it really should have emptied more than just one bar of my health meter. More like all but one, I and I should have come out of the water screaming my head off and been in hospital for weeks, if not actually been paralyzed in the water and drowned :-\\
But then if I can eat AK-47 rounds, get cooked by Molotovs, survive grenade blasts from three metres away and fend off tigers and crocodiles then a piddling little blob of clear jelly blubber isn't going to slow me down much :-()

Comparing the PC version to the PS3... all I can say is "WOW". The graphics are crisper, and aiming is so much more realistic using the mouse. This is the same I experienced in the difference between the PC and PS3 versions of FC2. It is like playing a modded game from the start, and I don't even have any mods installed yet.
I've used my Setpoint applet to map my mouse buttons to frequently-used functions, and even my combat proficiency is much better on the PC.
Driving along the roads of North Island
[smg id=5044 width=400 align=center]
This guy reminds me of the cabbie at the beginning of FC2; the one that drives you to the hotel in Pala
[smg id=5045 width=400 align=center]
Scary cave where you find the single mushroom
[smg id=5046 width=400 align=center]
Hang gliding is simply marvelous in FC3, with long flights possible.
[smg id=5047 width=400 align=center]
I can tell you're enjoying it, nice pics, too :)
The pic with Dennis driving the technical reminds me of my first playthrough and I thought the same. :) Hang gliding is indeed cool again, as it used to be in FC1. If you're brave and crazy, use the hang glider to crash into the top of an unlocked radio tower.. saves you the climbing :-D
Quote from: Art Blade on December 21, 2012, 08:10:07 PM
... If you're brave and crazy, use the hang glider to crash into the top of an unlocked radio tower.. saves you the climbing :-D
I thought of that as I approached a tower, but was too cowardly to attempt it!
I happened to unlock one like that, only it occurred to me too late on my first playthrough. This time, I'm on my 2nd, I'm aware of the possibility and will continue using that method when I get the chance :)
It does sound like a thrill, and one of these days I'll try it (probably after I get the wing suit).
Now, I'm back into the game for a couple more hours >:D
Something to try for you, if the hang glider thingy with radio towers is too much. Bear hunting with a blow torch >:D

That's a great one Art; does the blowtorch do enough damage to quickly kill the bear?
:-D
Not at all, PZ. I used two syringes of animal repellents and kept running after the bear trying to cook him dead in the process but it didn't w@&k. While I was chasing him trying to keep the flame on his bum, someone else (no time to turn around to see who it was or the bear would escape) was running behind me shooting at the bear and the both of us didn't succeed in killing him. When the repellent expired, the bear immediately mauled me and I had to use another syringe and a shotgun to finally finish him off.

The Medusa mission... with a twist
I think this might be fraggers cave (I remember fragger mentioning something about an alternate path but not the particulars). In any case, this is a cave where you pick up a relic and then continue through the cave until you are on a perch high above the Medusa. You are not close enough to start the game, but you can kill people with your sniper, without triggering the "Failed mission" message >:D
[smg id=5056 width=400 align=center]
This is the map location
[smg id=5057 width=400 align=center]
As you can see, you can tag the targets of interest
[smg id=5058 width=400 align=center]
This poor schmuck sent up dozens of flares while I was there, but no reinforcements arrived. I kept it up until I ran out of sniper rounds and then tried to go down, Art's sideways method. Once I got close enough to trigger the mission start, the game immediately informed me that I had failed because I had alerted the guards.
Maybe so... but it was worth it >:D
I just love open world games!
[smg id=5059 width=400 align=center]
heh, I too got a few of those "mission failed" messages because I did something the devs didn't allow :)
I too noticed the silencer.. and now an optical sight?! Don't tell me you've begun to mod the game already :laugh:

Just before popping this guy's grape
[smg id=5060 width=400 align=center]
This is the last of the 3 radio operators. I managed to get all three from this high point without anyone being the wiser
[smg id=5061 width=400 align=center]
The view from here is stunning
[smg id=5062 width=400 align=center]
Next, I dove down from the cliff top into the water and swam toward the first operator to loot the key
[smg id=5063 width=400 align=center]
After looting all three keys, I'm now on top of the ship with the radio room objective. I only had to knife kill 3 welders to get to this point.

Thanks, AB
:laugh: I know... modding for me is just about as good as playing the game itself. >:D
On an aside, the Medusa mission embodies what I liked best about FC2 open missions. You can approach from a variety of perspectives, but I didn't expect this vantage point from a relic quest considering the linear nature of many of the other missions. Makes me want to explore other options in remaining missions.
Good stuff PZ, nice pics and fun story :-X :)
Thanks fragger; it sure is fun to travel the islands. ^-^
This is an example of a mission that starts out open world in the best sense, and then turns into a CoD run-and-gun. I originally really disliked it, but then played on the PC and it is much better despite the linear nature of the center section of the mission.
Mission: Prison Break-In
I started the prison break in mission on a jet sky, and found the mouth of this tunnel. I couldn't resist this side trip | This is the location of the mouth of the tunnel. | Hang gliding over the camp where Jason is to kill the commander and take the key to the prison |
[smg id=5068 width=200 align=center] | [smg id=5069 width=200 align=center] | [smg id=5070 width=200 align=center] |
I figured the best place to scope things out would be this sniper platform. No one was in it, so it was easy to make my way up without alerting anyone. | There he is... I'll take out everyone else first starting with the perimeter, and then working my way in. After I shot a few, one pirate got a glimpse of me and they started up, but they were no match for the suppressed AK47. | Here's where the mission becomes linear, I made my way through the cave and Vaas hit me over the head. When I came to, here is what I saw. |
[smg id=5071 width=200 align=center] | [smg id=5072 width=200 align=center] | [smg id=5073 width=200 align=center] |
Neglected to take photos during the escape, but when Liza and I exited the hotel, here was an opportunity. We ran to the Jeep, Liza drove and I rode in the back. | The hotel burned nicely and collapsed to the ground, then the pirates started chasing us in vehicles. | It was my job to use a grenade launcher on the pursuers - easy w@&k using the mouse (I had a problem with this on my PS3). |
[smg id=5074 width=200 align=center] | [smg id=5075 width=200 align=center] | [smg id=5076 width=200 align=center] |
Liza is frightened to within an inch of her life and is seriously concerned about what to do. | We finally escaped all the bad guys and made it back to Docs mansion where Liza is to stay in the cave with Daisy. | Once inside the cave, reunion time with Daisy!. |
[smg id=5077 width=200 align=center] | [smg id=5078 width=200 align=center] | [smg id=5079 width=200 align=center] |
My first job was to find a part and bring it to Daisy - doesn't this look familiar? | ... how about now? In particular, this image and the last one qre quite reminiscent of the barge in FC2. | Because this was my first time in the cave, I decided to go after the relic in the back side tunnel of the cave. I knew a bear would be waiting, so I pulled out the trusty flamethrower. |

Meeting Citra
I love flying in the hang glider. Here I'm on my way to my first meeting with Citra | Citra certainly holds a spell over these guys | She has that "bad girl" demeanor about her. |
[smg id=5083 width=200 align=center] | [smg id=5084 width=200 align=center] | [smg id=5085 width=200 align=center] |
man, what an effort.. worth a slap on the back, PZ :) +1 :-X very nice :)
Thanks AB; 'twas nothing ^-^ I enjoy capturing images so I can relive the events at a later time. ^-^
I found this large boat that looked like a PT boat. It is equipped with what looks like a .50 cal that is devastating. Tanking only a few rounds, enemy boats explode furiously. In this set I had just left Citra's place and walked tot he shore where the boat was waiting. My intent was to sail up the eastern shore, and I encountered many of these enemy gunboats, none of which even got off a shot.
[smg id=5087 width=400 align=center]
[smg id=5088 width=400 align=center]
[smg id=5089 width=400 align=center]
[smg id=5090 width=400 align=center]
One of my favorite past times is to liberate outposts, and here is one on the eastern shore of the northern map. I've done two so far, and the first one was a piece of cake. It was near the tower on the southern tip of the island, and all I did was to shoot the cage containing the tiger. He killed everyone in the outpost and I was rewarded with 1500 XP. >:D
In the series below I was using the Z93 with suppressor, large clip, and high powered scope. Starting on the southern end of the outpost, I took out the pirates on the dock, then worked my way east to tag all the pirates. The mod I'm using shows their body silhouette but not the orange tag above their head.
I must say that it is really nice to have the large sniper available before the southern island is available. It is expensive $3,400, and the attachments are well over $1,000, but it is worth every penny. Those pirates with the armor and helmets are no match for the big round. I also went hunting for Komodo dragons - needed their skin for one of the pouches - was able to snipe 3 in only a few minutes.
My next purchase once I've saved enough pennies: the ACE >:D
Tagging the enemy
[smg id=5091 width=400 align=center]
Shooting a propane tank set the place ablaze. Surprisingly the pirates still did not sound alarm, likely because they had not seen me yet.
[smg id=5092 width=400 align=center]
[smg id=5093 width=400 align=center]
Checking out the area once more before I try to sneak in and disable the alarms
[smg id=5094 width=400 align=center]
Done! Man, these outposts are fun in a true open world sense. All I used was about 6 Z93 sniper rounds.
[smg id=5095 width=400 align=center]
Nice w@&k PZ, I like the hotel escape sequence, excellent! It's a bit like a movie storyboard :-D :-X
Here's a kudo from me too :)

Fragger, let me slap you for all those excellent shots you came up with recently :-() +1 :-X
lol @ the bub one :laugh:
I particularly like "the old and the new". Perfectly arranged pic :-X
Thanks fragger, and great photos yourself - kudos! :-X
Thank you gentlemen :)
fragger, you just got a slap on the back for the amazing shots with funny comments.
"This had to hurt"
"Wait, you're supposed to splash on your booth, not mine" :laugh: :laugh:

The outposts are really fun, and are the saving grace in this game IMO

Nice.. :) Ah.. I've seen some of those, I believe that they are "fake" tall but flat trees that keep trying to turn their front to you :-D
Outstanding photos, AB :-X
Did you try driving that truck? Would be fun to drive it into an outpost >:D
thanks, PZ :) The truck is mere decoration, check the mini map in the pics. The "car" symbols are for drivable cars left and right while the truck is just part of the airstrip layout. By the way, I've found two more of those, one is right down the parallel road to the airstrip between those barracks, the other one on the compound of some oil/gas refinery where the mission Black Gold takes place.
Great shots, Art :-X :)
When you do the heli escape with your brother you find out how many explosive things are around that airport :-X ^-^
I believe also the planes are explosive. Btw; did anyone succeed in blowing up gas stations? I've seen various but haven't yet found out if they are explosive ????
tried that, yes, but to no avail :-(
It's all about being a professional in every aspect.

Wow, that's fantastic attention to detail, even if a tad ludicrous - using a naked flame to repair a fully tanked-up gas truck right under the "FLAMMABLE" sign ??? :-D
Still, it's cool that you can do that :-X And you're a brave man for trying it...
I can't :laugh: You cannot repair those trucks (they're not ridable)

First I shot the truck and then I played around with the blow torch just to make believe >:D And.. I uploaded the pics in reversed order but did the numbers "right" :-D

I got it mixed up: actually I played around with the blow torch FIRST and only after that did I shoot a hole into the truck. But I reckon you guys guessed as much :) The rest that I wrote is correct, though, I uploaded the pics in reverse order.
And yes, I did use the endorphin syringe. It got worn down a bit by some individuals dressed in red who, however, ceased to exist. >:D
Funny pics Art :laugh: :-X You always were good at catching flyers in the act :-()
A shot through the camera of a vulture flying. Nothing special really, but notice the shiny flashing point on the beach near the boat. I've seen these a few times, do they mean anything? Is there something there worth looking at? Or are they just decoration?
[smg id=5219]
And one of the unlucky soldiers from the dog tag retrieval mission. Strange, I was just in that bunker a little while before and that body wasn't there.
[smg id=5220]
I'm not sure what the bright flashes mean, but they are reminiscent of sniper glass reflections in other games. I've sometimes encountered up to half-dozen of these flashes in certain areas, but have not yet discovered the source.
I think they may be just decorative.
At first I thought it might hint relics and loot chest but I never managed to check the exact locations (usually those lights are far away) so indeed I too think they're mere decorations.
I thought the same, D_B, when I found that dog tag soldier. I had been there before, like you, and the dog tag mission must have miraculously slapped that soldier on the steps who has been dead for 60+ years. I wonder where they had kept him until that mission started.. yuck. :)
I love the airstrip.
[smg id=5223 type=link align=center width=500 caption="FC3 0029"]
[smg id=5224 type=link align=center width=500 caption="FC3 0030"]
Yeah, I did get back to that spot where I saw the flash and there was nothing there, but it was quite a bit of time later, so maybe if you get there right away, there might be something? There were no pirates or anything in that area, as I'd already cleared it.
The Japanese soldier bodies should already be there, and you should be able to pick up the dog tags, then when you meet the guy, give them to him. Having the bodies all of a sudden appear is a bit weird.
New pics, first, some locals doing some target practice, note they are not clones, some have different color pants and different tattoos!
[smg id=5228]
and another sweep view after clearing a radio tower. It was nice to get a hint of some pirates trying to sneak up on me. My silenced sniper rifle gave them a lesson in manners.
[smg id=5229]
:laugh: @ not clones because of different tattoos/pants :laugh: :-X And yes, very nice of the tower to spoil the surprise for you but then again to account for a surprise for the pirates instead >:D

For some reason, that screenie almost looks like it could have been taken from Borderlands. There's a slightly cartoony, outlined quality to it.

Fun pics guys. I've been too busy trying to keep my skin intact to spend much time snapping screen shots and too involved in remembering important things like my name and where I left my pants last night to recall the steps to compress shots and then OWG forum codes to post them if I did capture any good screenies. :-[
if you use irfanView, open the screenshot location ( HD:\Users\mandru\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 3\Screenshots\ ) and load a pic. Then CTRL+R for Resize (see left part of the screenshot), make it 1024 and OK. Then hit S for Save, look down at the open dialog, make sure to choose to save as JPG, and check the checkbox below "Show Options Dialog" so you get to see the little window (see right part of the screenshot) and adjust to "85" (compresses a lot yet keeps still enough detail).
The forum does the rest: while you're composing a post, check the icons menu bar above the smileys, second row, 5th icon (shows two cascading pics, blue sky in the background, sunset in the foreground). "Select which album you want to upload this item to" on the top of the pop-up window and then only click on "File to upload" > BROWSE button. Take your pick, submit. That's it, the forum will automatically embed that uploaded picture, so you can just submit your post :)

BTW I didn't shoot him with the rifle, got out the bow instead.

If you remember my screenshots from Call Of Juarez, I shot down a vulture with the bow, will have to try that in FC3. Even though the feathers are almost worthless, nice target practice anyway.
Thing is, when I try to shoot a pirate with the bow, almost always miss.....
I remember :) ..here: :-() :-X

Yep, that's it.... :-D
Now.... on my way to liberate an outpost, came across this rabid dog attacking some pirates, he took out four or five, maybe more since I didn't see the entire fight, before they finally took him out.
[smg id=5255]
Then, Artificial Dumbness at w@&k, this group tried to drive across a bridge that wasn't there, got stuck. Two guys got out and started walking, but the other two kept getting back in and trying to drive off, then getting out when it didn't w@&k, then got back in.....
[smg id=5253]
One of the iron beam dudes. He was spinning in place at the top of this cliff. Finally, when the A.D. guys (see above) started shooting at a leopard or something, he finally dropped it and wandered around. I nudged the beam off the cliff, hoping to hit some deer below but it missed.
[smg id=5254]
After a while, I eventually made it to the outpost and liberated it in typical messy fashion. I think they might have noticed that I hit one of those propane tanks and lit half the place on fire. Maybe.
[smg id=5256]
Great photos guys! I always appreciate seeing things I have not yet seen in the game despite having completed it. :-X
@fragger; amazing that you found Gord's wheelchair!
absolutely, I want to see that wheelchair, too :)
@ D_B: :-D that fire there.. maybe it wasn't clear enough. Next time you might want to make sure and set the entire surrounding on fire before lobbing Molotovs into the outpost. You could still shout, "FIRE!" just for additional safety. :-D
Great shots D_B, love the artificial dumbness one.
That outpost you burned is one of my faves, just for its location, both aesthetic and strategic - and it comes with a gunboat :-X
I can't for the life of me remember where that wheelchair was... I'm pretty sure it's on the north island though.

This reminds me of the one diamond case in FC2 where you find it after someone else has already gone to the trouble of digging it up. These guys dug up three cases and didn't bother to open them, so I did them a favor and took the loot for myself.

Then right after that I crossed the river and almost got eaten by a crocodile (or are they alligators?) then a little while later at the lumber yard, I did get eaten by one. Sneaky devils. So I skinned a few in payback.
and, last for tonight, Binnatics reminds us who's the boss.
[smg id=5258]
Nice, D_B, there are many places in FC3 that are reminiscent of FC2. :-X
hehe, yeah.. I too keep seeing Binnatics all over the shop (or, those red rocks) :)
Nice shots DB. :-X
So Binnatics works for Ubisoft ? ;D I've never come across any red rocks with Binnatics written on it
Here's an interesting one. Looks like a trommel used to mine gold, however, it is used to concentrate gold by feeding thousands of yards of gold-rich gravel through it's maw. In the foreground are ore carts typically used in hard rock mining (tunnels), which processes ore by an entirely different method. I haven't seen both types of equipment on the same mining site.

I was wandering around when I heard a bunch of gun fire. Thinking there was a fight going on, I approached with caution. Turns out it was these three yahoos on the beach wasting ammo.
[smg id=5327]
Then, how my FC3 session usually ends, with a crash. Nice.
[smg id=5328]
The sad part of it D_B (above and beyond your chronic computer problems :-( ) is that if you try to jump in and celebrate with those three yahoos who can be found at various times in vastly various places they can get angry and yell at you telling you to watch out where you are shooting.
Even if you are being careful. :(
I just saw those guys on my last session, also in the beach.
Then they wonder why they get jumped :-()
I sympathise with you and your game crashing, D_B. I get that too, a lot more than I'd like (which would be never).
What's your system setup, fragger? Maybe we can narrow things down to a fixable cause. Mine started when I installed the new video card and the latest drivers. I'm thinking it's the drivers that FC3 doesn't like. I'm also sure it's a problem with FC3 as I have no problems with any other games. If I knew for sure, I'd downgrade to a driver that I knew worked.
nVidia likely knows there is an issue with the drivers because they have issued yet another update that among other things addresses FC3 issues.
I just see the 310.90 drivers, which I have already, unless there's something else?
maybe a beta
No, you have the latest version. Still not fixed obviously :D
Ironically I have not had a single crash with my old GTX 295, and here you are with the latest and greatest that does not even w@&k with one of the latest and greatest games. :-\\

I remembered I was doing side quest "Eternal love", the woman asked me to talk to her husband and then shoot around his feet to scare him. There were 2 Rakyats standing nearby, as soon as I fired at the ground near the husband's feet, those Rakyats instantly shot at me. >:(

Here's what I'm running D_B:
OS: W7 Home Premium w/SP1
CPU: Intel i7-2600 @3.4GHz
RAM: 16GB
Vid: nVidia GeForce GT 545
Driver v.267.95
RAM: 4GB
Running under DX11
As you can see, I haven't upgraded my drivers for a while :-[ Maybe the game is just finicky about what kind of video setup it likes. I'm thinking of going to DX9 and mucking around with the game's video settings some more. PZ's tip about the new drivers was sounding hopeful, but if you've already got those then the prob might still lay elsewhere.
Last night it hung on me while I was trying to exit. I mean, I got all the way to the final "Are you sure you want to exit?"-type question, went OK - and it hung there, showing the splash backdrop with a bunch of overlapping black oblongs in the middle.
DKM2 was having all sorts of trouble with crashes too, maybe if he sees this he could let us know what he's running.
@durian, I've had that happen too, but the last time I did that mission the guy caved while the other two did nothing. Seems to be a bit of a lottery :-()
I'd at least give dx9 a whirl to see what happens. I have other video applications where the dx version makes a difference even when it is not supposed to do so.
That's true, I've noticed a considerable difference with Civ V between the two DX versions. On 9 it's smooth as silk, on 10/11 it's very jerky.
I was wondering why my car was going "Whop-whop-whop-whop-whop..." This'll do it.

Great pics again, fragger; you could assemble a travel photo album with pics like that!
Did the wheels fall off that truck? Looks like the right side is down and it doesn't look like there are any wheels on the front.
I don't know what happened to the wheels. All I know is that the truck motor died and the rig became undriveable, and when I got out it looked like this (oh, and I had to beat the flames out on my arms). I couldn't see the missing wheels anywhere. Lot of damage for a bottle of burning petrol and a pirate cadaver.
The fun never ends, and experiences in the game appear to be endless ^-^
Quote from: PZ on January 16, 2013, 10:24:58 AMDid the wheels fall off that truck?
you can actually shoot 'em flat, which means, the tyres basically explode.
Yes, I've done that before (quite a while ago), but I thought that the wheels remained intact, JC2 style. I don't recall the entire wheel being gone - that's good attention to detail on the part of the programmers. :-X
indeed, it is.. and a lot of fun to make proper and frequent use of it, too :-()
After installing the 306.97 drivers, the game is a bit more stable. Still crashes, mind you, but now it will run 30-40 minutes before crashing instead of 10-15 (if I was lucky) on the other drivers.
Anyway, driving around grabbing loot, seeing what there is to see, and causing trouble, and I came up on a couple guys standing near their jeep. The one was skinning a boar in the middle of the road (bet you can guess where this is going) and the other was wandering around. Along comes a bunch of their buddies in another jeep and they smear the guy in the road without even stopping. The other guy is obviously distraught, but I calm him down a bit by looting his friend's body. Don't mind me, just robbing the dead - $1 yoink! Thanks buddy! Anyway, I get back in my jeep and I hear another coming down the road. Thinking I'm about to witness another hit and run, I take a photo to give to the police to assist in their inquiries (and to prove I had nothing to do with it):
[smg id=5477]
The jeep keeps coming and the guy ducks just in time:
[smg id=5478]
You can just barely see his head on the other side of the front bumper.
[smg id=5479]
He brushes it off and goes back to wandering around. He was off the road when the second jeep came by, so no danger of a hit and run there.
very nice :-D

Cool pics you guys 8)
The game has its share of crummy drivers. The other night I was on foot above a road on the south island when I heard some gunfire, and around the bend came a trio of Rakyats in a technical who were going hell-for-leather, apparently trying to get out of range of the gunfire. They did - through the guardrail and over a cliff. I heard much tumbling and crashing followed by an explosion, and when I looked it was a fiery mess down there :-D
:laugh:
did it look somewhat like this? :-D

effin crashes, mate :-\\ but FUNNY "story" :-D
Nice sequence with the big bird :-D :-X
@#$%& crashes... :angry-new:
There were actually more with the bird, but I thought that would get the point across. Maybe I'll make the sequence an animated GIF.
Anyway, Art replaces Binnatics on the red rock doohicky by the lumber yard. I was having fun and the game was actually running a while but then just as I was attacking some pirates who had some hostages, it did something different, it hung and I could switch out but had to end the process as it wouldn't respond.
[smg id=5506]
Then, a while later, I came across this guy who either had some bad fish (note his fishing pole on the ground) or was still sleeping it off from last night, as he was rolling on the ground moaning. I think the developers missed an opportunity here for a side mission, one that's not marked on the map, kinda like repairing the jeep for the guys broken down on the road. Get this guy some of the special plants that cure hangovers or something.
[smg id=5507]
A little while later it blue screened, but I did get almost 2 hours in tonight with only a few crashes.
If you step a few feet away from the guy moaning and writhing side to side and unload a burst of rounds into the ground he perks right up. ;)
The one I encountered became a very lively screaming sprinter the moment I used three quick rounds from the Bull to take down a wild dog trio that were becoming too interested in us. :-D
I guess gunfire close by will wake up anyone, eh?
Here's that bird attack animation. You'll probably have to click on it to start the animation.

Thinking of explosives, has anyone tried shooting planted C4 or mines?
Great photos, everyone :-X
I don't know about C4 but you can shoot any mines that have been planted by the enemy, chiefly those ones in the rice paddies where you protect that villager. Ones that you've planted yourself seem to be hit and miss - sometimes I can shoot my own mines and they'll blow up, other times they won't. I think there may be a glitch involved there as sometimes I'll find a dead bad guy near where I planted a mine, but the mine will still be visible and I won't be able to shoot it.
I have made about the same observations, fragger, and same goes for C-4. Apparently you have to stay with your mine or C-4 in order to shoot it. Once you leave the area, it's a lottery. :)
I thought it might be fun to try to sneak down to an outpost, plant a bunch of C4, then retire to my sniper hide. Of course I could always use my detonator, but I have more fun using the rifle on explosives >:D
Multiple C-4 charges mounted on a glider pre-flight had vanished by the end of a fairly short flight from both the glider and my inventory. ???

What a shame - would have been a nice flying bomb :-()
They keep sticking when attached pre-ride to a quad or Jeep and boy, they do make a very nice fire-and-forget bomb when jumping off before rolling right into an outpost.. :-D
Wow Art, I wonder if loading up with a syringe of "Untouchable" on the final approach would allow someone to actually pinpoint the rolling bomb placement and remove the need to bail and hope for the best. It should at least reduce the critical distance from the explosion a player would require before triggering it.
I'll need to check that next time I have an outpost to overwhelm. :-X
Good idea! :-X
Hmmm.... I wonder if I can walk across this almost empty tank of sludge that has no top?

... I wonder if loading up with a syringe of "Untouchable" on the final approach would allow someone to actually pinpoint the rolling bomb placement and remove the need to bail ... I'll need to check that next time I have an outpost to overwhelm.
I went to the oil refinery where the mission Black Gold takes place and set up the situation in my thought above.
Popping the Untouchable syringe just before coming into view of the two guards at the front gate I was able to run over both of them and stop my vehicle precisely between the vehicle mounted .50 cal and the tanker truck, step out while taking close fire from all sides and instantly right click to detonate the charges I'd placed on both sides of my vehicle.
While my ears rang and my hearing was momentarily diminished I took no damage. (note in after thought: I wasn't wearing body armor so I failed to see if there was possible damage in that regard) The guards that were too close when it all went up were removed and I was able to dash over to the nearby alarm box and manually disable it unhampered even though I was still drawing considerable fire. There was even a bit of spare time remaining to either mop up or scramble for cover before the syringe expired.
So that part of the experiment in my view was a success.
...
I have experienced one drawback when using the Untouchable syringe and that is if an enemy is too close they tend to attempt a knock down move. They manage to succeed about one time in four. Even with the skill tree upgrade where the effect of animal attacks and knock downs from enemies are supposed to be diminished the Untouchable syringe does not remove the possibility of that occurring. I suspect that the skill tree upgrade protects from knock down and that the Untouchable syringe contributes no additional protection from that danger what so ever.
My source material for that suspicion is finding myself in the dirt and seeing stars too many times while being supposedly supercharged. So keep physical distance from combatants if possible. With the clock ticking and precious little time if you're like me you don't want to waste any of it laying stunned on the ground.
Excellent experiment, mandru :-X +1
from me, too :-X cool stuff :)
Excellent mandru :-X Here, have another one :)
Speaking of the fuel depot, I tried PZ's method of tackling it and it worked like a charm. Sam had almost nothing to do - when I got back to him after blowing everything, he was staring into space while still manning his gun and looking very bored...
The attack on Vaas' compound is another situation where it pays to have a couple of Untouchables ready-rolled. I got through the burning building and the subsequent peppering when getting off the roof without taking any damage.
I've been wondering if the devs came up with the idea of the Untouchable syringe knowing that hardcore open-worlders like us would be bugged by the linearity of the main missions and would appreciate being given a way to reduce the pain factor of them :-()
Glad it worked for you fragger; like you I really disliked going through the way the developers intended: run-and-gun.
I didn't mind Vaas' compound too much...
Spoiler
jumped off the roof into the back yard and then worked my around the side to the front of the building where I began picking off people one-by-one at my leisure. As long as I can do that, life is good.
Thanks for the kudos guys. :)

There's a multi-vehicle race event in that area that drives right through there and while I glimpsed the bodies in the tree as I flew through things were a bit too frantic to spot that odd mushroom on the beach. ;)
Yeah, I saw this thing flashing in the distance and wondered what it was, as it didn't look like anything else. Turns out it was the "TV Star" lol.
Now that it seems the game will actually run for me (let's hope) I'll be posting more screens.

I've seen the bots pull off some fancy maneuvers while driving, be then, they go and do something like this.

Nice screen shots D_B. :-X
@ shot #2: Good going, I never could stand that uppity Gieco Gecko.
@ shot #4: The fun part of that scene is when a local comes bombing through and smears the lot of 'em and never bothers to stop.
A quick note for curiosity seekers. There is a small illuminated marine light fixture at X:312.7, Y:314.6 (Southern coast of the South island) hanging in the air a handful of feet beyond the end of the pier without means of visible support.
I'm not sure which is more impressive. Levitation or power transmission without power lines. ;D
Nice ones D_B :-X Looking forward to more now that the game might actually let you play long enough to take some pics.
Pic #3: I can only imagine how that got there ???? That is a gas station, isn't it? Someone should tell those guys that there is such a thing as a dipstick for checking the oil... but then I guess the dipstick was the one doing the driving :-()
all shots and comments are funny, D_B, and the one that really cracked me up was "the rubber side down" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Thanks, it's nice to be able to actually play now. Stupid memory.
Anyway, somewhere there was the discussion of the mystery loot chest on the small island in the river near the ruins, on the north island. I've found the waypoint marker very useful in finding stuff, helps a lot. I'm now systematically gathering all loot and relics on the north island. This one still bugs me though, it must be buried slightly under the ground or just a glitch, as you can see the waypoint is right there, but there is nothing. I've also noticed that some loot markers on the map are not for chests but for the small piles of cash. I've spent some time on a few looking for a chest when it's actually a much smaller pile of money.

Yeah, I think the a-bomb is in lost expeditions, I also did testing unit, I think that's where the dog is. I have one more lost expedition to do, then the monkey one, then a bunch of hunting and assassination missions, then some supply drops and then I'll finally be ready to get on with the main missions. I have all the loot and relics, except for the ones in the compound at the east end of the island, and the ones in the temple, plus that annoying fake one in the river on that little island.
Waiting this long to do all those makes them a bit easier as I have the ripper (or is it shredder) SMG that pretty much stops anything with a few rounds. The hunting mission where you have to get three bears and the default gun is that little UZI thing was pretty easy since the shredder takes just a few bursts to stop a bear.
Did the side mission where you have to find the runaway girl for the parents in the village. Five Komodo dragons were no match for that thing.
only problem was finding ammo for it.. that thing goes through a full mag like a hot axe through butter :-D But the little ESC key trick solved that ^-^
I forget, what was the ESC key trick? Not that I have problems running out of ammo for it, which is strange for me, as I tend to just "spray and pray" or is that "spray and prey", lol. Usually by the time my loot is nearing full, I head back to the shop and resupply.

Cool, I will have to try that next time.
And now, that final loot chest on that little island in the river. It doesn't become available until you do one of the monkey see monkey boom quests. About time, that thing was bothering me.
[smg id=5594]
Must be a bug/glitch that shows it before it's available.
Bugger! :o
That's one of the missions that UBI and GameStop ripped off from the PC players who pre-ordered thinking they were going to get the same deal as the console crowd.
From a few posts back, that shredder is an awesome weapon :-X

Yes, they make you pay extra for it now. It's a supposed "DLC" that you already have on your install, you just need to pony up $10 to get it now. >:((
Finally shot down a vulture with the bow & arrow like I did in Call of Juarez. Only took 16 tries too.

Should have tried to get a screen of it falling mid air, though, could have just shot this one on the ground as far as anyone knows. But it was in flight.
impressive :-X :)
I was trying to fend off a rather angry dragon with a mending tool but he wasn't impressed nor did it hurt him. What did amuse me, however, is what you see when you look at the shadow he casts :-D

it sets stuff on fire (including enemies.. and yourself) just aim and "fire" :)

Well, hello there, rare red sea turtle, meet my rare red shredder.
[smg id=5604]
Only got $15 for it's shell, too. You should get more money for the rare animals, I mean, the same amount for a normal tiger skin as for a white tiger? Not to mention when you skin a mountain lion, you get a leopard skin, nice trick, that.

Good job D_B! :-X
:laugh: nice one :)
Congrats D_B. :-X
Heh heh, It feels good to get your name up on one of those. I've made screen shots of the two Trial high scores I've captured.
Though I've seen other OWG members names posted in my FC3 wanderings my skill set seems to favor somewhat less popular activities so I wasn't nudging anyone we know aside to claim the spots. ;)
Some of the other ones I had no chance even getting close, at least this one I was fairly proficient at!
Some of them were impossible to top for me for quite some time but I kept trying once and then until I got a better score. Still, there are some I can't seem to improve.
Well, here's a screenie I thought might be worth a glance.. I wish I was there. :)
[smg id=5614 type=preview align=center caption="Art's FC3ME 'Nizza'"]

What the heck, you got attacked at the start of a race?
yes :laugh: I couldn't believe it but I managed to almost instantly hit the screencap key.
Maybe I got it all wrong and I started his race against the clock to rip 32 chunks out of me in less than 2:10.0 :-()
Here's the Ripper (not the white tiger) in action. You can call that thing a means against both a full-blown road block or assault on wheels..
you just rip through the s#!t and won't get a single bullet in return >:D
[smg id=5616 type=preview align=center caption="2013 02 26 00015"]
The tiger picture? ??? Isn't that the hunter mission's rare white tiger that's munching your arm as your race starts?
I have noticed that the more I've bet on a race the worse the obstacles are that get thrown at me. My friend you must've bet the whole taco to get bugger all luck that bad. :laugh:
Ah yes. The Ripper. Great craic. >:D
:)
The tiger? Heh, it happened as follows:
I arrived at the location with that guy who promoted that Jeep race and went afk for a moment. When I returned I heard a tiger roar nearby so I thought, "hell, let's hit it!" And accepted the challenge. It was in that case a practice round without any bet. So after opting for the practice, I stand next to the Jeep, hear the cat sniffing around very close to me and as the countdown starts I think, "this is not going to happen.." -- 2.. 1.. -- GROAR!! -- ..go! "Oh yes, it is."
:-D
After a restart I got a good time and thought hell, I might as well try on Expert and that I won (1:40.0 needed, arrived with 7.5 seconds still left) but I agree, more than once I too thought that the higher the stakes, the weirder the obstacles :laugh:
Sorry Binn.....
[smg id=5619]
did it again.....
:o
Hey guys! You better grab screen caps of your names on those trial rocks while you have the chance!
After all his false starts from computer glitches D_B's definately in the game with a vengeance. :-D
1+ to D_B for perseverance and hitting the ground running :-X
indeed, nice one :) pat on the back from my end, too :-() +1 :-X
Indeed; I've not seen anyone quite as tenacious :-X +1 from me as well.
What the heck D_B, have one from me too. Might as well get 4 kudos in as many posts :-D
You guys are too kind. Not so much tenacious as not wanting to waste that $50 I spent on the game. Heck, I was even contemplating getting a different computer there for a while....
Some of those challenges though, I can't seem to get any headway towards a good score, much less beating anyone else's. I tried the lumberyard one last night, because some yahoo with a [UBI] tag in front of their name knocked Binn or Art off the top spot. "Can't have that" I thought, but didn't even get halfway to the high score on that one, it's tough.
OK, if you think that was unusual..

There's got to be some back story on that second attack. Were you pulled off a quad runner or had you parked your jeep up a tree and were hoofing it to find another ride?
I'll grant you that what ever the conditions both of these screen shots reek of stunning bad luck. :laugh:
I know from first hand experience that a crock can rip you out of a rubber boat if you are standing up near the edge of it and have the unfortunate luck of having run aground too close to where it's laying in wait and I've never tried stopping near the business end of a crock with a jet ski but I've always assumed some degree of safety at least from wildlife if you were powered up and under way in any of the vehicles.
You're spot on, the second pic was taken after my quad gave up on me because I had sort of sunk it and I was wondering whether to... GROAR!! :-D
The next attempt on the same track.. this time I.. no, the beast, ran into me which of course ruined the race but I did give him the honour and personally skinned the ba$t@rd on the spot, though >:D
[smg id=5621 type=preview align=center caption="2013 02 28 00020"]
As I've mentioned before, quite a trick to get a leopard skin from a mountain lion.....

Spoiler
While I was in the midst of it I noticed how I got ongoing kill messages and I saw the three car wrecks I just produced with the RPG. I thought that the enemies must be dying from fire spreading and was amused while taking out a chopper. Then I couldn't see any enemies any more but I kept getting kill messages, saw choppers approach and explode without my doing and thought hell, do I now have some Rakyat reinforcements helping me out, there? But nothing, instead I watched how enemies everywhere just kept blowing up while I was simply watching. When the time was up, I had that massive score. Yet another UBI glitch.
:o :o
^-^ Nice find! Curious if that glitch ever happens again :-D
Art might have accidentally hit the Ubi cheat key that allows their guys to achieve those large scores. :-()
Yeah right, is that the one where you are shooting incoming jeeps and copters with the RPG? The dang long reload time is what gets me on that one. I doubt I'd even be trying those again, I've done them all and had a decent run on a few, so on to the actual missions now.
But first, another screenshot of one of my mishaps driving into water. I thought this was just another spot where you can drive across the river, but it turned out to be a bit too deep. When I got out and looked around, saw that I was lucky to have landed on the correct side of where that croc was stationed, if I'd gotten out of the passenger side, would have had some trouble.
[smg id=5623]

I happened upon the guy with a rock for a head, too.. found it quite amusing :) And I too have that issue when taking screenies that show the fake mountains, two layers are shown: one with a distant haze and slightly shifted, without any haze.
Sure ruins a lot of otherwise nice screenshots. I should try to remember to paste from the clipboard in cases like that instead of using the saved screenshot file. Usually clipboard paste is a lot more accurate.
I'll have to try that, too :)

I remember the first snake I encountered was at the base of the first radio tower and before it could get me I killed it with a headshot using my first acquired weapon: a 1911. :-D

Oh man, I am so going to try that next time I see some target practice yahoos. Wasn't aware you could stick mines places, I thought you could only toss them on the ground. But, do they set it off, or do you have to?
they're not going to hit an open barn door, so you've got to do it for them. Not a bad thing in case you want to time a screenshot.. :-() By the way, an excellent place for mines is a door frame, about waist or head height.. anyone who walks through.. bears, for that matter, count too (happened to me once, I couldn't believe what was lying in the entrance) :-D
:-X :laugh: you guys are definitely clever in your experimentation!
:-()
By the way, mines don't stick to animals. They made it very clear.. ouch.. :-D
Cool, I did kill a bear with a mine once, but just dropped it in front of him while backing away quickly.
let's see how the target practice looks in slow motion.. :-D

no, me using an animated avatar would drive us all crazy, remember you'll see more than 16,600 of them (all of my posts..) :-D
Just to be clear about the "slide show" above, I fired my pistol and set off the explosives. Those three clowns whom you'll find anywhere at random are either using blanks or can't hit an elephant even if you glue their muzzles to it.

fragger after seeing the size of the debris field of chopper bits you left behind made me a bit nervous. I made a trip back to the Rakyat trial rock on that hill top and was somewhat relieved that my name was still up on it. ;)
Oddly enough instead of the bright white lettering that was present when it was freshly posted my user name had faded to a dull bluish color.
Seeing that fading away reminded me of the Roman's who crowned their heroes with freshly picked and crafted laurel wreaths and proclaimed their deeds to all. Kind of like a key to the city the wreaths signified to the people both high and common that they had someone among them to admire and shower with drink and food and it was party time to the max for a couple days anywhere the hero went. But inevitably a hero's wreath starts to tatter and fall apart if they "rest on their laurels" too long.
A wreath in too ratty of condition was more likely to draw belligerent questions like "so, what have you done lately?" instead of another cup of wine.
So, it's probably time for someone to come along and steal my wreath as king of that hill. Eh? :-D

You won't ever see my name on any of those because I always play offline. I don't know if my Rakyat trial results get uploaded to Uplay should I login to it, but if so, your fears may be realised - after doing that mission my Uplay name (fragger1960) appeared at the top of the list and on the rock. First time ever! I can't remember what my score was on that Trial, alas.
But seeing as how I haven't logged on to Uplay for some time, the scores at my end are way out of date, so it's very likely you're still the king of the hill.

Dune reference!
[smg id=5725]
Hmm I think not:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_cannabis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_cannabis)
Synthetic cannabis is a psychoactive designer drug derived from natural herbs sprayed with synthetic chemicals that, when consumed, allegedly mimic the effects of cannabis. It is best known by the brand names K2[1] and Spice,[2] both of which have largely become genericized trademarks used to refer to any synthetic cannabis product. (It is also for this reason that synthetic cannabis is often referred to as spice product, due to the latter.) There is controversy among calling Spice and K2 synthetic cannabis and is considered by some to be a misnomer, because the ingredients contained in these products are mimics, not copies of THC.[3]
"Synthetic cannabis" is pretty dangerous stuff, there have already been episodes of permanently induced psychoses and even a couple of fatalities caused by it in this country.
I was referring to the "interstellar navigation" part, which is a direct reference to the Dune books/movies where the drug called spice melange http://dune.wikia.com/wiki/Spice_Melange (http://dune.wikia.com/wiki/Spice_Melange) helps those who take enough of it to navigate starships. See http://dune.wikia.com/wiki/Guild_Navigator (http://dune.wikia.com/wiki/Guild_Navigator) for
QuoteA Guild Navigator was a senior rank of artificially super evolved humans within the Spacing Guild, and for many Guildsmen the pinnacle of their ambitions. Mutated through the consumption of and exposure to massive amounts of the spice Melange, Navigators are able to use a mentally conditioned and trained form of prescience to safely navigate interstellar and galactic space in long range starships called Heighliners.
The real drug called spice is pretty nasty.
I did see the Spice formula and I too realised there was a clear Dune reference as pointed out by D_B. Dune=Cool :)
What is a bit disturbing is that this game features tons of drug informations and drug-related stuff everywhere up to visualised trips (red pills in the cave and the mushroom hallucination bit when collecting them for the Doc.)

The pirate in the thongs (thank goodness they're for feet and not the string-back underwear variety :o ) is a regular corpse that you will find in various locations.
I've never encountered him alive that I'm aware of but after Vaas gives you the cinder block baptism and you come out of the waterfall there's that town area you have to pass through to get to the helicopter. Later when you come back to visit that area to thrash the respawning pirates that are stationed there the fat heavy with ankles too swollen to fit into boot is usually somewhere there on the right side of the road before the bridge near the buildings.
Always loot him as he's got swag whether you killed him or not.

Looks like cocos aren't the only nuts falling out of the trees...
He actually fell into the tree.. that pic shows the aftermath of a grenade takedown which blew up a car and sent one merc straight up and above the palm tree. I took the screenshot when he was already on his way back down again :-()

Unless it's a static shot I'm never fast enough to be able to find and then hit the screen cap button. :(
I really need a momentary USB foot switch I can tap with a ready and otherwise unengaged toe or maybe by remapping the mouse wheel click function to trigger the Print Screen button to enable me to catch 99 out of 100 of the amusing things that happen during typical game play. ::)
I believe it comes with practice. I deleted more than 25,000 screenshots for FC2 alone just to get rid of stuff I didn't want to keep. FC3 already sports around 4,000 screenshots. It has become second nature to be ready to hit the screencap key at any given time :-D
When I'm playing I have a death grip on the mouse with my right and there's little hope of reaching cross-hand clear across the keyboard with my left to find and hit the print screen key in time to catch something on the fly.

What a great pic! Just goes to show you that there are always interesting side adventures in a true open world game. It is only a shame that the developers decided to go with linear main missions.
thank you :)
It was this very photo scene which I wanted to capture as good as possible. Of course I did the usual tricks first such as whipping the machete or switching weapons to time it just right so the weapon wouldn't be in the picture. Only problem is that the entire picture sways with that action and it's never really centred. Also, you can't get too close or you'd hit something. And that made me think about how we kept doing our screenshots all the time.
And then I had the idea with the camera zoom to get the perfect picture if combined with the fact that PRNTSCR removes all HUD elements which was worth a tip in the respective topic. :)
Makes for perfect pictures! :-X

Excellent discovery Art finding out that the privateers mug for the camera. :laugh:
Bored pirate? Yup! Bored a hole right through him. ;)
The little catfish is listed in the wildlife handbook as a river fish after you've managed to kill one. ;)
Nice shots guys. :-X I've got a series of captures of Citra sitting on the ground near the stone table looking coy after she's completed your tat and sent you off to the South island after Hoyt.
Nice shots, Art, some good LOLs there.
I've been using the camera to get HUD-free screen shots for a while. Works great, you can zoom & compose just exactly what you want. Makes for good detail screens as well.
I shot one of those river fish once, never got a close look at it. Can you get handbook entries on jellyfish and other aquatic life? Every time I see them, I'm swimming and can't get a weapon out to shoot them.
cheers guys :)
Hehe mandru, I found those pirates hilarious the way I got them in that pic. They were actually practising something like Aikido or Judo, it was a throw. I'll post one that makes it more obvious here. And yes, it was a river fish that got its own entry in the wildlife section of my handbook.
D_B, I transferred the kudos I got for your camera tip to you already, see tips topic :) I don't know if it works, I never managed to actually kill jellyfish but apparently only what you kill finds its way into the wildlife section of the handbook. The only way to kill stuff like that is TNT-fishing which I did in a way by lobbing hand grenades and C4 into the water where I had seen them.
Here is a way of defending yourself without weapons. Not the guy to the right, though..
[smg id=5834 type=preview align=center caption="Screenshot0455"]
..more like this: :-()
[smg id=5835 type=preview align=center caption="Screenshot0480"]
D_B, if you look at the animals section of the Stat pages it shows each specific species and the number you've killed. Some of the animals have a " - " in the totals column while others have a " 0 " (zero).
I read that as; This animal can't be killed and you haven't killed any of these yet, respectively. An unlisted animal like many of the unkillable bird species that constantly fly in circles through some of the scenery settings or the airborne insects (damsel flies) I would imagine are considered by the developers to be background props rather than actual animals.
Ah, good choice Art. Kudos where kudos' due. :-X
I've also seen the Amanaki practicing hand to hand combat throws. I don't know Art, the guy on the right appears to be displaying what I would consider to be more of an offensive tactic. :-D

One request to make things more efficient. Far Cry 3 native screenshots are in png format, which ends up being about 10 times larger than jpgs, which makes them slow to load and display. Although it is not a big deal, it is preferable to convert to jpg before upload for performance issues. ;)
I knew I did something wrong... it took ages to upload those screenies. I'll edit it right away :-[
Edit: Done!! :)

Aw c'mon! Sam should have seen that knife coming from a mile away and fed it to Hoyt instead. :( I've stopped short of poker night twice now because at least from my point of view he's happy and excited that his time as a mole is coming to fruition.
Art that last one made me laugh knowing how far you had to push that boat to get it all the way up from the river and in the line up. :laugh:
it was quite some w@&k, I do remember that much :)
Agree, Sam should have known and reacted appropriately. Then again, if I had been in Hoyt's shoes, I would never have allowed Jason -- the guy who killed everyone important in my organisation so far -- to see me let alone fight me with a knife and I'd have had Sam killed, too, before he could have got physically close to me. As if clever men risked their lives with silly macho show-offs.

I sure do miss Africa. There was something special about the environment in FC2 that I have not experienced since, and doubt that i will again.
I feel the same way :)
I think a lot of FC2's atmosphere was also based on the sound design, particularly authentic recordings of birds and insects.
Agree, FC2 had a very rich and realistic ambience. I also miss the wonderful lighting effects, which really did impart a sense of dawn, early morning, midday, late afternoon, twilight and night, as well as lovely atmospheric effects like mistiness, haziness, wetness, etc. The truly fractal weather system was a terrific piece of w@&k and really added to the immersion factor. FC3 weather seems to consist largely of just day, night and stormy. There is a bit of transition between these but it's very quick and not very noticeable, except for the ridiculously abrupt storm onsets (deadline constraints, maybe?) In FC2 you could almost feel the weather 8)
I agree also, in FC2 I mostly travel on foot to experience the so-close-to-real-life nature environment that was created.
Many areas where I go hunting have similar environments as being portrayed in FC2 and I often still play the game because it putting me in the kind of nature that I love and grew up in. :(
I had a minor run-in with the wrong sort of people and once it was sorted out, I noticed the guy above the barbed wire..

Nice. I died so many times around these cliffs trying to get loot. Don't know what it was, but I was seriously clumsy and kept falling off and forgetting I had a wingsuit.
D_B, I tried so many times with my wingsuit to bloody land there but usually smacked into the wall or plummeted down right next to the landing zone into the water or smeared myself across and along the cliff on the way down and as you can see, I even drove down which worked nicely (you better use some syringes to survive that if you are so inclined :-() ) Now I have experience and usually manage to get it right. :)
Fragger, it wasn't his foot. I just clapped the door shut while he was relieving himself.. :-D
"it burns like a mother.." -- "yeah, yeah, and it bleeds like a pig." >:D
:laugh: Hehe, instant soprano >:D
That spot in the pics can be gotten to by climbing down vines and ledge-jumping, but the wingsuit is quicker, if trickier.
haven't seen those vines but that's an idea. I did make use of platform jumping, though. :)
Hehe, instant soprano :) I could have told him, "oi, mate, now that you seem to be quite attached to my car, let me drag you around a bit" :-D

Nice eel! Makes me want to slip him into a privateer's bed roll. ;)
Me neither! Good find!! :-X
it only took me some 1060+ hours to find one I could take a screenshot of. :-D I had happened upon ONE other moray eel a few weeks ago but didn't dare to touch it.. this time it attacked me, quite a strong reaction, actually. It triggered a QTE, forcing me to mash CTRL or F or some such.
Here is the location where I found that moray eel: Near Romeo Camp, dive a bit and check the ground. It hides near rocks on the ground.
[smg id=5911 type=preview align=center caption="2013 04 23 00011"]
However, here's a picture of a nice early morning.
[smg id=5910 type=preview align=center caption="Screenshot0792"]
Cool :-X
I find in looking for eels they are usually are pretty deep in the darker blue water on pop up map. They first appear as a glow like one of the jelly fishes but they undulate and you have to swim towards them to get within range for them to close in and attack you. I've had better luck finding eels on the outer coast lines of the two main islands rather than the floor of the sea between the two land masses.
With the command line edit for god mode there is no need for the dive deep syringe giving unlimited search time but be aware they will still trigger the QTE and can kill you if you don't mash the proper button in a timely fashion. Fortunately the button mash response time in the QTE doesn't seem to be as critical as the speedy reflexes needed in the knife fight with Hoyt and the button is usually a "C" or the Space bar on the PC. At least as far as I can remember it has always been an easy reach left hand key that is required.
Animals are not known for having religions hence they don't have to respect a god mode :-D It is true, you are bullet proof but still vulnerable to animal attacks. You could bypass that by adding the ignore player cheat so any animal would ignore you but then again the game's wildlife section of the handbook wouldn't register any encounters with animals you hadn't met before.
So, did you get a page in the wildlife handbook for the moray eel? Might have to go looking for one if that's the case. Same goes for the jellyfish.
:laugh:

I'm not so sure about that Art. My cat is pretty sure He's the center of the universe and all things exist solely for His exclusive amusement (including his personal hand servants) - therefore
He must be God. ;)
D_B, Yes you do get an entry in the handbook for the moray eel but I think the jellies are background scenery (more or less like the random plankton bits floating around when you are diving) and can't be killed. So no handbook entry for them.
All it takes to get an animal's profile in the handbook is to kill one. So running under god mode the animals will attack you and some like the crocks, tigers and morays will trigger a life or death QTE. Adding ignore blocks QTEs along with animal attacks. I've tested this by jumping onto crocks and walking up on tigers. :-D
But in my experience so far I've had to play without the ignore command line edit to trigger the appearance of the morays. It's almost as if there's a proximity requirement for them to show up and quite possibly the ignore feature prevents that from happening.
This last time I played through I noticed that there is an eel that takes a chomp out of you when you grab the relic in the sunken temple just off shore from the outpost called Kell's Boat Repairs. The temple is there in that shallow bay on the East side of the North island but all I caught was a quick glimpse of the eel as it came out from behind the relic and it did not trigger a QTE.

I'm not so sure about that Art. My cat is pretty sure He's the center of the universe and all things exist solely for His exclusive amusement (including his personal hand servants) - therefore He must be God. ;)

About the ability to kill animals... when you point at a manta ray the cross-hair turns red, which means you can kill it. So far I haven't killed one. Do you get a page in the book when doing so?
Yes Binn, mantas do get a page in the handbook when you kill one but like rats or those little green lizards you can't skin them. You would think that Ray Skin would fetch a fairly attractive price when traded in. ????
agree on the cats bit :-D
I did see a moray eel with ignore player cheat but couldn't kill it because it wouldn't attack me hence no QTE that would have killed it. A pack of C4 might have done the trick but I haven't tried that out. I did throw and detonate hundreds of C4 (unlimited ammo cheat) from a ship which blew up manta rays and sharks but no jellyfish. I am pretty sure that the first river fish I saw and killed with C4 was while I was on ignore player cheat and it didn't produce a handbook entry -- unless I missed something else, that was why I have thought that the ignore player cheat ignored animals that got killed while on it.
On an aside, it would have been cool for the developers to have included scuba gear in your kit
Heheh, yeah, just in case you meet a scuba moo ^-^

I've been giving something PZ said some thought.
Quote from: PZ on April 22, 2013, 08:11:11 PM
Cool; I've not seen a moray in FC3 before.
I've been spending a lot of time recently searching out the new missions that become available when the outposts are reset. That said I have circumnavigated both Islands N. & S. and the nearby hill sides with zero luck beyond that first mission I found near Pirate's Cove. :-\\ So I know they exist.
But back to PZ's not having encountered a Moray. I came across a spot just East of the Medusa site where I was able to see two Morays at once while still in shallow enough water to use the camera (what I would say was ankle deep and if I wasn't such a procrastinator I'd have the screen caps ready to post here :( ). When you leave the Medusa site headed East the next nearby landmark is a shack with a small pier attached and there is a large cave entrance in the cliff off a ways landwards.
Walking East a very short distance from that shack and watching the water line the first place where the water pushes further inshore (in a gentle arc) is the top of a softly rounded gully that runs out into the ocean spreading as it descends. It's excellent eel hunting territory but remember to add the eel to your handbook you'll have to go through a QTE and kill one though they are fairly safe to view at a distance. :)
:)
Killing a moray eel resulted in an awful lot of blood in the water, my field of view was completely red. Have fun, guys :-()

If I wanted to play poker I'd buy a poker program. >:((

Thylacines? :o
They are not even listed in the bestiary of the player's guide! Where on earth did you find those?
Maybe not the best question as I recognize the location is just down the hill from Cradle View outpost but I've been through there dozens of times on foot and I've never seen them. I suspect someone's been digging around in the guts of the programming again to shake them out of some sealed folder.
no, they came as part of a pre-order bonus, a "hunter pack" I believe. Despite not having pre-odered it, I still got the pack. Also, the predator silenced sniper rifle (basically a modified M700) and some Amanaki knife for machete.

Art, I've got the DL codes for that Hunter Pack, and a couple of others (Monkey Business or whatever it was called, and that thing about the abandoned Japanese lab). They came with the Insane Edition. I never got around to DLing them...
Thylacines have been considered extinct since about 1930, but some have been reported as being seen on mainland Oz in more recent years, even lately (originally they only inhabited Tasmania, where they were also known as Tasmanian Tigers because of their stripes, even though they aren't cats at all but marsupials). It's possible some were captured in the colonial days and brought to the mainland where they either escaped or were let loose. I'd like to think there are still some around. Odd creatures, kind of half kangaroo, half dog. I'd like to see one myself.
[smg id=6231 align=center width=520]
cool pic. :)
Fragger, at least dl the hunter pack. The missions.. meh.. probably a massive download for singular missions (I have those too). The hunter pack will give you a nice "predator" sniper rifle from start (always there) as well as a not so useful knife without known advantages over the others (therefore I bet the Tanto is much better as it is known to have extra powers) and finally, the ever present thylacines. You'll encounter them always around the lighthouse in the North and at the Pacific Airport in the South. They may pop up in other places, too. :)
Do we have a list of the downloadable content for FC3? I have some of it - the Monkey Business one and I think the Japanese lab, but nothing else.
Everyone who has got FC3 may see those DLCs when logging in with UPlay. There are no DLCs other than what you may "buy" from UPlay after achieving some UPlay credits. The hunter pack and perhaps this or that type of mission are limited to those who got them with whatever pre-order bonus.
And some who pre-ordered the game in March to be sure to get all the promised extra game content were totally cheated and got none of it because the deal didn't count towards the PC version of FC3 (or AC3 for that matter which I also payed for at the same time) but didn't discover the rip off until it was released in December. :'(
I had avoided any screenshot with thylacines so far not to stir that up but when I saw those six beasts in line I couldn't resist posting because it was a very rare moment captured. Sorry mandru :(
Still it was a very cool shot. ;) :-X
And on a side note UBI can get stuffed unless something significantly interesting comes along substantial enough to regain my interest in one of their products.
Yeah, I went and bought the stuff Mandru got cheated out of. It was $9.50 or something like that. The other missions were uplay "freebies" once you get enough in game points or whatever.

He was on fire and kept repeating the same sequence of actions. He would get into the car, start it, sit there for a couple of seconds, turn the engine off, get out, stand next to the car for a couple of seconds, say "FAAAARK!", then get back into the car and repeat the whole performance. He was doing his Balrog impression the whole time.
I watched him go through it about six times and he probably would have done it ad infinitum if I'd let him. In the end I threw a C4 under the car and put him out of his misery.

The devs make a slight mistake with the dingos in FC3 - in reality, they don't bark. However they do howl to announce where their territory is, so the devs did get that right.
lol @
bark.me. :laugh:
I thought that, too, but apparently we're both wrong, fragger. Check wiki (dingo, § "barking") (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingo#Barking)
QuoteCompared to most domestic dogs, the bark of a dingo is short and monosyllabic, and is rarely used. Barking was observed to make up only 5% of vocalisations. Dog barking has always been distinct from wolf barking.
Australian dingoes bark mainly in swooshing noises or in a mixture of atonal and tonal sounds. In addition, barking is almost exclusively used for giving warnings. Warn-barking in a homotypical sequence and a kind of "warn-howling" in a heterotypical sequence have also been observed. The bark-howling starts with several barks and then fades into a rising and ebbing howl and is probably (similar to coughing) used to warn the puppies and members of the pack. Additionally, dingoes emit a sort of "wailing" sound, which they mostly use when approaching a wateringhole, probably to warn already present dingoes.
According to the present state of knowledge, it is not possible to get Australian dingoes to bark more frequently by putting them in contact with other domestic dogs. However, German zoologist Alfred Brehm reported a dingo that learned the more "typical" form of barking and how to use it, while its brother did not. Whether dingoes bark or bark-howl less frequently in general is not certain.

I've seen cassowaries attack and kill dogs and for balance sake I've also seen dogs charge and kill a cassowary so there's not a clear predator/prey boundary.
Probably something more along the lines of whoever gets the initiative roll but anyway I don't recall if I've ever seen an interaction between any other predators to compare notes. :-\\
thanks mandru :)
as far as I can tell there seem to be carnivores that never attack one another (e.g. cassowaries and Komodo dragons) but chase other carnivores, sometimes even in a joint venture :-D Usually I don't have the opportunity to observe because at that time those beasts prey me or I'm busy doing something else :)
Firstly: Cheers for the vid Art :-X I knew that dingos do make a kind of bark but it's more of a "hrrrngff" - not really a doggie "woof" like FC3's dingos.

Yep, pecking order is what I was thinking, too, and with regards to that I think size matters (among those animals.. err.. let's say, glad their female counterparts won't argue over that because they can't. :-D )
fragger, I've never seen a tiger and a dingo stay close together without fighting each other like the ones in your shot. :)
maybe you're right, I guess it's one of those rabid dogs and a tiger, not a dingo, so maybe those two may bond but not a dingo and a tiger. Needs investigation :)
I kept expecting them to fight but it never happened.
I think we only have a chance to find out if we remove ourselves from the equation, i.e. use an ignore_player cheat. Which I happen to have at hand..

my favourite place to wreak havoc - the compound. With Ziggy's mod 2.7 we can place unlimited mines and C-4 rather than three of each. All of them (you get 10 max each) remain active.. if you use the unlimited ammo cheat it is possible to drop like 30 mines around the place.. it was fun to hear them go off every now and then and I went checking what set them off.

I had to think about that when I captured this guy here on screen. Blew
him(*) up properly, sky high :-D Although this guy here wasn't exactly flying with the greatest of ease, it was more like, "he came plummeting down like a meteoroid." :-()
[smg id=6405 type=preview align=center caption="sky high"]
Actually, you should see it in sequence. He wasn't the only guy and he wasn't the first :laugh:
the big
Bada-Boom (a ton of mines and C-4 and oh, also there were some red explosive barrels in those tents)
[smg id=6406 type=preview align=center caption="sky high 1 / 4"]
the first guy.. lol

and here comes our guy. Wonder how high he had been :laugh:

(*) had to edit it. Erroneously wrote "hip" rather than him ???? :-()
For some reason The Byrds' song Eight Miles High came to mind. :-D

Thanks, mandru :-D

Nice ones Art :-X You always did take a cool explosion shot 8)
ta mate :-D one finger on the trigger, the other one on the screenie button and BO-click-OM :-()

my favourite place to wreak havoc - the compound. With Ziggy's mod 2.7 we can place unlimited mines and C-4 rather than three of each. All of them (you get 10 max each) remain active.. if you use the unlimited ammo cheat it is possible to drop like 30 mines around the place.. it was fun to hear them go off every now and then and I went checking what set them off. Sometimes mercs, sometimes animals.. but always a nice bang to it :-D
[smg id=6404 type=preview align=center caption="favourite place the compound"]
I love it; experiments like this encourage me to go back into the game :-X +1
I just love to blow up stuff.. and mercs :-D
thank you, PZ :)
I'm pretty sure that you haven't seen a screenshot like this before :-D

Nex, you park better than some people I've seen outside the supermarket :-()
thanks guys :)
nexor's pic and fragger's comment remind me of this (stiku showed it to me recently)

I see an improvised ramp to practice jumping my ride. :-D
@ Stiku "What you didn't want the carwash?" :laugh:
good idea, mandru, that ramp thingy.. should have grabbed a dirt bike and tried it :-()
I like the game "minecraft" a lot. Helps saving ammo :-D I was actually defending The Compound and had turned the area into a mine field. Looking at my tattooed arms makes me wonder whether those Amanaki clowns turned me into a bloody Yakuza.

That's about the size of some of the potholes we have here
we haven't had any of those here any more since about 1945.
so far we had quite a few flying mercs. I have another one.

:laugh: WOW!!!
the following 2 pics show the same event with a small amount of time between the screenshots. I had rigged my car with both mines and C-4, saw a patrol reversing in order to attack me head on and I jumped out of the driving car. When it hit the merc patrol is what you see.. heh heh heh >:D

great shots, fragger :laugh: :-X
Ta :)
:laugh: +1 fragger; those are classic!
Fun pics fragger. :-X
I noticed while in Amanaki Town earlier this evening that the long stemmed flowers the native girl is holding were picked from a plant that is barely as high as the distance from where her left hand is holding the stem to the top of the blossoms. ???
Also in your shot the stem she is sniffing has pierced her midriff. ??? ???
Heh, I didn't notice that. Ow ???
ow ???
Nice pics fragger, looks like we still have a long discovery walk ahead of us with this game
Yeah funny screens. :laugh:
Thanks guys :)
There's been so many other incidents that would have made funny screenies but I wasn't quick enough on the keyboard to capture them :D Like the time I was driving along a road at the base of a small cliff when a technical landed right in front of me from out of the blue and spat out several red-shirted rag dolls ??? Very shortly before that I'd heard the sounds of a confrontation between Rakyat and pirates coming from somewhere, and I assume the pirates lost control of their vehicle near the top of the cliff and went over the edge, almost landing on top of me. I wasn't expecting it at all, the car just dropped down from above and went crash right in front of me. Hilarious :-()
that is funny. :-D
This was new for me. I'd always thought the snakes just lay coiled up hissing in the grass and would bite you if you got too close. But this one actually came slithering after me:
[smg id=7201 align=center width=600]
[smg id=7202 align=center width=600]
As you can see, it was one of those highly dangerous levitating snakes.
oh, a hover snake, that's why. :-()
yep, they always do if you get too close, except perhaps the one during the tutorial under the radio tower which I have never seen move around because I always shot that beast. :-D
I guess I've never gotten close enough to have it happen before. Living in this country I've gotten into the habit of keeping a respectful distance from things that slither. I guess it's ingrained :-()
When you are running the mission to assault Pirate Cove there is one snake that is actively crawling around.
I've encountered him several places on the South side of the cove. It's usually at a point of the game where I'm in stealth mode and my full attention is more closely directed towards sneaking up on and removing the two legged snakes while keeping them from detecting me.
:-D
:-D
I've never run into that snake. I'll have to keep an eye (and a shovel) out for it next time.
Since Art mentioned screenies in the Shout box, here's a few:
Another slick parking job.

That's the problem with tipping the restaurant's valet up front. ^-^
Also nice Tolkien tie-in. :-X
Cheers :)
+1 :-X for sleeping tiger and Komodo yoga. Bloody brilliant! :laugh:
Very nice, fragger!
Nice avatar PZ!!! :) :-X
indeed, gave him a +1 :-X already as he inspired me to do something similar. :)
:)
Thanks gents, trying to get all my online avatars the same in case I forget who I am. I'm an old guy, but not completely out of the action yet :-()
My wife took that photo when we were in the New Belgium brewery tour this last summer.
Excellent avatar as well, AB! It is nice to see OWG members in the flesh, so to speak :-X +1
:) it was somewhere in Spain, a damn hot day, a few years ago. By the way, retiredgord was the first of OWG who showed himself in the flesh -- but he wanted to look "distinguished" in that pic :-()

Yes, Gord has always looked distinguished. Just look at his badges for years of membership 8-X

I reckon you had yourself taken a pic of, then? Back in the days when swashbucklers started to get settled down by the Queen on that lovely island down under, as it would appear :-D Nice one :-()
+1 :-X :)
Thanks chaps :) I thought I'd follow your suits - kind of - with a new avatar, of myself.
Years ago when I was heavily into Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (with the expansion pack Alien Crossfire), I discovered that I could substitute my own picture for any of the default Faction Leader images that appeared in the game's Diplomacy Screen. I liked playing as a seafaring faction called the Nautilus Pirates, so for fun I cobbled together an image of myself wearing a facsimile of space-age pirate garb and stuck it into the AC graphics file. I sported a beard back then and I tried to make myself look like the kind of mean, treacherous ne'er-do-well that you wouldn't trust as far as you could spit a rat. That was just for fun - in reality I'm about as mean as a tranquilized manatee and you can definitely trust me at least as far as you could expectorate a rodent.
I'd forgotten I still had this silly image until quite by chance I came across it a couple of nights ago, and you guys have encouraged me to make use of it here - even though it's not exactly a natural picture of myself. Gord may look distinguished, but when seen au naturel (and up close) I tend to look more extinguished :-()
My avatar has always been this weirdo thing, not sure when or who took the pic, but it must have been a wild night. I don't usually look like that.
Usually.
:-D D_B
:)
If you'd ever change your avatar D_B I would probably not recognize you anymore. Whatever night it was, it was a good, one, keep it that way ;)
Nice avatar Fragger :-X
I joined the club ^-^
:laugh: nice! +1 :-X
I just so hope that wasn't something the doc was supposed to send to the lab for analysis, what you're drinking there :-() Erm, looking at the quantity, scratch doc and make that "vet" :-()

did you know that if it tasted sweet, the patient was suffering from diabetes? :-D
You're terrible, Art. But flipping funny :laugh: >:D
The hue of the beer notwithstanding, I like your avatar, Binn :-X +1
@ D_B: I meant to comment on your venerable avatar, but forgot to.
If I saw you in person and you were wearing that expression, I'd be nothing but nice to you...
:-D
Since we are covering selfies used for avatars long ago I used this photo as an avatar for quite a while.
[smg id=7229 align=center width=210]
:-D I remember that one well :-X Also another member, Ricamundo, used an avatar of himself - and as I recall, he was hoisting an ale in it, à la Binnatics.
Haven't heard from him in quite a while... ????
true, true, true, and true :-D
Back on topic - here's a few more pics I've had for a while but haven't posted, since I seem to be about the only one here still playing this game...
This is about as close as you'd want to get (actually, it's a zombie leopard - he was dead but apparently he didn't realize it).
[smg id=7230 align=center width=600]
Whatever it is he's sniffing, he must like it a lot.
[smg id=7231 align=center width=600]
Judging by the entry wound, I'd say this rat was hit by a 0.002 calibre round.
[smg id=7232 align=center width=600]
This just had to hurt.
[smg id=7233 align=center width=600]
I went into the gun shop in Badtown, but the lady with the shottie wasn't behind the counter:
[smg id=7234 align=center width=600]
Instead, she was hanging out the back with this hen-pecked dude. I've struck this a couple of times - once, I found her wandering around outside the front door.
[smg id=7235 align=center width=600]
very nice pix, fragger :) The doggie is funny :)

And I keep thinking that the leopard pic is mesmerising, a great shot. :)
Cats!
Even in death he landed on his feet. ;)
he might have just been stubborn enough to ignore the water and drowned standing. And he ignored that, too. :-D
Thank you for the kudos, chaps :)
