When there is good music playing I don’t want to just listen to it, I want to HEAR it. Especially when driving (holds true IRL as well).

I never really felt that sense of urgency when playing, I spent A LOT of time running through the wilderness or driving around slowly growing my XP by killing cultists on the side of the road. But that wasn’t even about the XP and advancing in the game, that was because I wanted to kill the sick fuck cultists. :-) Obviously, I had to deal with what the game wanted me to deal with when I did reach those points but, I never felt pressured to move at any other pace than the pace I wanted out side of that. Hell, I reached the end of the story line but, not only do I have side missions left I can go back and do, I still have STORY LINE missions that need to be done. So it’s still very much a what you want to make of it game experience.
Im not saying I felt a sense of urgency, I'm saying I think that's what they were attempting by dragging me out of whatever I was doing to complete a scripted mission just because I gained a certain amount of point.

I'll be honest. I love the resistance music but it's the cultist music that sticks with me. Just goes to show how that kind of music is used, even in churches today (not to get political).

My misunderstanding.

Heh, I may or may not have added Set Those Sinners Free to my “soundtrack” playlist.

That one is pretty catchy.

Is that something you can do in game?

I really need to finish this game. I’ve got a horrible habit of playing games for a while and then just moving onto another one.

It’s going to be a while though because I just fired up a new character in Skyrim. It’s been years since I’ve played it and I’m having fun again.

I'm the opposite. I can't stop until I finish a game. I'm the world's worst OCD completionist.

At least I don't think I'll be playing this game for 2 years like the last one!

It just all depends on the game and how much free time I have to put into it. I powered through The Last of Us and finished it in a couple of days. Now I barely have an hour to sit down and play anything.

I played Dragon Age Inquisiton on average 2-3 hours a day for 2 years.

Sometimes I'd go a few days without playing at all and then I'd have some Saturday's where I'd spend 8+.

Damn....I wish I had that kind of time. That’s another one of those games where I put like 20-30 hours into it and haven’t picked it up since.

Holy crap! I actually found it! According to what I have labeled on the cd though I was slightly off on the game, it was CoD MW3.

Anyway, time to add that playlist to the library.

I don't recall having trouble with the bow, but I also didn't attempt long shots with it.

The rest of the gunplay, however, was odd. I don't know if the hitboxes were done wrong or if the bullet travel was programmed too slow, but I was having a hard time hitting anything at a distance. No other Far Cry game, including New Dawn, had that issue.

Ended up playing most of the game with a LMG and thrown satchel charges.

As for the rest of the game, I may be in the minority who loved the ending.

The game had great moments. I still remember Joseph staring into your soul as you go to arrest him, with John, Jacob, and Faith standing behind him.

The drugs and brainwashing aspects of the game were nicely done. Great soundtrack.

Yeah, the opening cut scene is pretty disturbing / creepy.

I actually have been doing a lot of hunting to get money and I've become pretty damn good with the bow out to about 100m.

And with the sniper rifle, I can get headshots on cultists from A LOT farther, not really sure.

It's kind of unfair. I just circle a compound and pick off the alarms with my sniper rifle and then go to town. It's an extra $1000 every time you take one over without any alarms and since I've disabled them all from 300m away, they can't call reinforcements. I'm probably halfway through the game and having an absolute blast.

I use pretty much every weapon (except SMG's, they chew through too much ammo) and have load outs depending on what I'm doing.

For taking over areas I know there will be cultists, I usually carry a sniper rifle as my main weapon, a shotgun for up close stopping power, and an automatic pistol (like a Skorp) to make noise if I need it.

Last night, I was in a construction yard surrounded by like 8 guys with air support. I'm in the 2nd zone but don't have any weapons that can reliably take out a plane so those fighter planes are the bane of my existence right now. Just as I thought I could get the upper hand, not one but TWO trucks with mounted heavy guns showed up and now they have like 14 guys, two heavies, AND the plane.

There was a shack there with a ramp leading up to a door and the door wasn't blocked. I knew if I could get inside, I'd be protected on 3 sides from the heavy guns and the airplane, so in I went. There was some crates at the back to hide behind and then it hit me.

I'd run to the door, spray some pistol fire to get their attention and then toss a proximity charge at the bottom of the ramp.

It only took 3 charges and 3/4 of the dudes were dead. :-)

I took out the rest with the shotgun and then took over a heavy and took out the plane.

Having your own vehicle with a mounted .50 cal makes everything they can throw at you trivial. :-)

I don't think this is a spoiler but just in case...

Spoiler!

I have the Death Wish but I'll be honest:

1) I'm trying to avoid making the game ridiculously easy. I like a challenge. I finished Far Cry Primal on the hardest difficulty. This game is pretty tough at times even on normal but I like it that way.

2) I don't generally use vehicles / mounts in open world games. I'm terrible OCD and I prefer to explore on foot because I'm afraid I might miss something. I always seem to find out of the way loot and stuff when I'm just walking around, even though it takes longer.

I mean, if you want an example or two of how crazy OCD I am, I don't buy a new weapon until I've bought all of the upgrades, including the skins, for the one I have. So I literally go through the weapons in order, upgrading them completely, before I buy the next. For example, I could buy the RAT right now but I haven't finished all of the ones before it so I'm holding off.

Also, I explore EVERY inch of the map on foot, even the areas around the edges of the map. I've found some nice alpha animals and few stashes by doing it.
