i havent played the game, but from what i've heard here it sounds quite stupid, you dont get Apex preditors living together on an island..... tigers, bears, komodo dragons, wild dogs etc, this put me off buying the game months ago

Seriously?

For gods sake its a game not an episode of Planet Earth, if you want realism step through your front door it might do you good.

Has anyone tried a 4 player private game, me and some friends have recently tried it and cannot connect, the most that have connected is 3, won’t let the fourth in…we can all connect to public games but cannot set up a 4 player private one?

Why does that matter :confused:

I rather have all the animals than just 1-3 types of animals.

The wildlife in this game is pretty much one of the best things about it. Extremely cool when you see a tiger jumping towards a deer or some other animal or chasing after something.

Definitely. It has the best wildlife I've seen in any game so far. I spent the first hour or so purely hunting instead of doing any missions, it was quite absorbing. Looking forward to a reply when I can get all my desired mods working together.

I always just hop on this game and hunt/run away from animals and mess around when I'm bored. Its such a fun game.

This above is what I enjoy.
hunting and crafting basically.

However I started doing the missions and got to the beach stealth one, think thats it for me if there is a lot of stealth.

How much is there in the rest of the missions?
I can only do so much it seems without doing them to get crafts etc.
If there is a lot of stealth I think I will stop investing my time and choose another game!

That's the only stealth mission I've come across so far. I found that one tough actually, the trick is to use takedowns only and drag the bodies somewhere quiet. The stealth factor disappears quickly enough in that mission too and it descends into shoot ten billion guys as they come running for you.

There is one stealth mission where you have to steal some army guys outfit, which was pretty damn hard as you couldn't kill anyone! Had to throw rocks non stop. But apart from that I can't recall of any other stealth missions.

Darg, Nexus18

Thanks for the info, I shall continue! Really enjoying the rest of the game, just things like climbing the towers I find fun too.

Will try the stealth bit again, if I start to loose my temper (likely!) will use a guide.

Thanks again both!

reading the comments with that video on Youtube it's just full of whingeing whiners, one nerd pointing out

Notice the water in the stage demo, amazing visual effects under the water. rocks, plant life and small fish are fully rendered, on the retail PC... nothing. The differences are massive.

There's loads of underwater stuff inc shoals of fish, rocks & seaweed etc. so I don't know what version of the game he's playing or whether he's got a dumbass PC with 10 year old graphic card

under water isn't the comparison one should do from that video.

My game looks more like the E3 demo one than his and most my settings are on medium/high?

Just starting playing FC3.

How do you quit the Skills/The Heron tutorial after you skin the boars etc..?

liamfolz · 27 Jan 2013 at 03:25

How come the E3 one looked so much better?

Because they showed a low spec PC version probably
