The cross-platform-ness means that it's something else that's not going to push any boundaries and come with all the limitations that console shooters come with tbfh.
It may be a great little game, but I think I'm done for paying for cross-platform anything from now on.

I'm really enjoying this. I'm spending more time just larking about taking over outposts and radio towers rather than the story (which is more a reflection of the utterly absorbing environment than any fault with the story). The island itself is fucking epic.
Burning ganja fields to the ground and this tune kicks in. Awesome.

I really like it. However, it gets a bit boring if you take the outposts out because then you only really fight the odd bit of angry wildlife. It looks OK, not exactly cutting edge, some of the textures are little on the bland side when up close, lovely long distance view. The weapon choice is a little on the restricted side too and there doesn't feel like a lot of difference in them.

Oh, so in FC3 if you take down an outpost it's gone for good? FC2 pissed me off slightly that if I went more than a fairly short distance from the roadblock I'd just cleared it would get repopulated. It meant I took to mostly avoiding them just to save travel time.

Yeah it is. 
I really like how there are no two outposts the same; they all present completely different challenges. There's a real feeling of satisfaction when you go through one all stealthy like and get 1500 xp points for not being detected. Some of the takedown skills are GREAT.
A game mode that randomly generates outposts to take over would be fun.

The best way I have found is to takedown your way through a couple of guys so you can get to one of the alarms and properly disable it. If you shoot one, it only takes that 1 out but if you're standing in front of an alarm and you disable it, it knocks them all out.
I also just picked up a silenced pistol called the Shadow which is an absolute fucking beauty for taking guards out undetected.

It's a bit rubbish that you can't have more than 2 attachments on a weapon. There's no good reason I can't have a silencer, better scope and an extended magazine other than a meaningless cap. Silenced sniping is great fun, especially when hunting. But this pistol is fucking beastly, I love it. Silenced, little to no recoil, extended clip - it's awesome.

Gets repetitive after a while. Childishly funny it is, blowing up stuff with explosives tho.
Aye, was a nice touch with the Jamaican-ish soundtrack on the side while blowing everything sky high.

Really enjoying this game. Glad the outposts can be reset, love taking them over. Haven't unlocked the southern island yet, haven't bothered too much with the collectibles but upgraded all my gear with hunting. Like the fact that I am passing green plants and thinking I should harvest those before I move on. The Flame thrower may not be as impressive in the jungle compared to the dry grass of FC2, but is still very useful. Its a great way of dealing with hungry wildlife. Have started to get creative with my outpost take overs involving Mines and C4 loaded on jeeps as well as fire arrows and knife kills.

Yeah I didn't bother much with the collectibles when I was playing through the game but after I'd finished it I went back around (it's easy by jumping around between the conquered outposts) and picking up everything so I could upgrade everything fully (ammo pouches etc).

I was swimming in some bay somewhere after doing one of the missions and there was this manta ray and I killed it, thinking "that's gonna get me an awesome upgrade". But it didn't. I felt like such an asshole.
