Is the save bug mentioned that it occassionally doesn't overwrite the saves properly - three times I've gone back to the game to find the last save some time back from where I actually saved, lost a couple of hours play this way.

A bit random, this.

I've been told to go to the bar for the medication, but the place is totally shut, and the bloke that runs the weapon store across the road doesn't appear, period.

Did I kill the bloke inadvertently or something?

88% now... and it's getting tough.

Had to assassinate a guy through a open window in Sefapane, and boy did it kick off! how I got down that ladder and out of the town I'll never know.

Even the standard roadside guard-posts are packed with guys and present a challenge.

I just started this last night and got stuck just here too.

If it is right at the star you have to use the computer in the weapon shop to buy a gun before it'll let you into the bar, which will then send you to Pala. Hit start to see your objectives, they'll be fairly explicit.

I finally worked out this solution. Using start to see your objectives is a must. Nice to see I'm not alone in coming late to this.

The start of the game is a fairly well disguised tutorial, the game is forcing you try out all the features (and buying weapons is a major part) before leaving you on your own.

What's the deal with the mortar?

I mean when the enemy use it on you, can you ever stop the attack? Every time I've come under mortar fire there seems to be no real source, they seem to endlessly drop in from nowhere which gives you no means to stop it. It's a fucker and no mistake.

Yes finally, it's done!

Well that was a disappointing ending. Really shit. Assassins Creed levels of shit. :P

It had it's ups and downs but overall it was a great game, a bit unfriendly with the random jeeps, respawning guard-posts and weapon deterioration but once you got used it's charms it was a very immersive experience. And some of the best eye candy I've seen in a game.

There's someone out there with a mortar firing at you, they're just usually pretty well hidden. I've nailed a few. The trick is not to get spotted.

Ahhh thanks.

Bit late as I'm done with this now. I could go looking for the 100+ diamonds I missed or the remaining phone mast missions, safe houses and guard posts which is probably another 40+ hours of play. But I have no inclination to do so, and the missus would murder me. In fact in order for me to the finish the game she went out shopping for 4 hours as she hated me playing it so much.

I just started this last night and first impressions are OMG!!!

I can see that the checkpoints might start to annoy but that feeling of being in this harsh wilderness is unprecedented. I just did the oasis mission where I drive out in a buggy to blow up some trucks and it was all just so perfect. There were two guards standing next to a bush and I threw a molotov at them but missed, thankfully it set fire to the bush which caught their legs and they died shooting at me.

I am truly gonna love this i think

One word of advice though.....

Multiple saves.

yeah ive read through the whole thread so know about the bugs and stuff. Cheers anyway though.

I do already wish it was a little more RPG in that certain towns could be hostile depending on your allegiance, while others just farmers to pick up missions etc. Like if you see a truck on the road i'd like a moment of 'are they hostiles'?

Would be nice.

It does kinda touch on that side of things a little - but I think if they took it any further it'd be treading into RPG territory, and no longer be a FPS. Something I don't think they wanted to do with the series.

I take it you chose hardcore kerraig? I had a quick go on infamous and it doesn't seem balanced for it. I ran out of ammo extremely quickly and I've read reports of you HAVING to take an LMG purely for the large ammo capacity, which are the least fun weapons in the game.

yeah started on hardcore. Run out out of ammo twice already, once at the oasis and once while attacking a truck of ammo. Running out of ammo and having to be ultra cunning made those gunfights SO satisfying to complete.
