All the weapons, attachments, animals, VHS Tapes, Research Notes, and various menu screens have unique descriptions on them. There are probably other things that I haven't found yet.

To put it simply: too much stealth and I'm not a stealth game fan. hated Deus Ex HR because of it, hated Crysis 3 because of it, hated the MGS games.

I didnt get far at all, only did the first area where you get captured and stripped of your gear, then it tells you to go somewhere 'undetected' and i shut it off.

Put aside the stealth bits and I wasn't impressed with the gameplay. /shrug. Maybe it gets better and maybe i'll revisit it someday but I've got no shortage of top tier games sitting around still.

There's some stealth later on: Rescuing the scientists in the side missions requires you to use some stealth since they'll start shooting the hostage when they see you. Although you can also snipe them from distance I believe provided they don't ever actually locate you visually. Bow and arrow work best since they'll hear and locate you if you're using an unsilenced weapon. Or get in close with the suppressed pistol but that requires stealth to get into reasonable pistol range.

Speaking of, I was on the dam last night and crouched behind some boxes. I killed a guy with an arrow from hiding and someone came over to investigate his dead co-worker. So I shot him. And the next guy. And the next guy. And the guy after that who thought a pile of corpses was something to walk toward rather than away from. It was pretty ridiculous in an amusing fashion.

I know what you mean, and thats how Crysis and DE:HR were. Stealth wasnt required but I still got the sense that the developers wanted me to play that way and going in guns blazing always had the same effect: alarms sound, reinforcements come, kill em all, repeat.

This is how crysis 1 was, and it worked for me because it was very open world, like (ive heard) far cry 3 is. Plus the suit in crysis made it more fun imo.

Does FC:BD become open world at some point?

oooo ok. Well i'll have to give it another chance then.

^This. I cannot tell you how many times I've walked off a cliff in BD because I couldn't tell where the end of the cliff was when it was overlapping with the grass on the ground below.

There's a fine line between hilarity and bad game design.

If you're having fun, it's hilarity. No one actually has fun with that alien

Hey, good work. I think I'll jump on that.

I've never heard of that game before. What's it about?

It's FC3 in a 1970s style.

So, you know... Pong.

So you're saying we've played FC3 on the same island before?

Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?...
