You guys play coop or mostly solo?  I feel that solo is more enjoyable.

Mostly co-op, but not with randoms.

Ok - this is a bit harsh - but I thought I should post it here anyway (for info). There are alot of truths here...



Personally, I'm still enjoying the game - BUT - whilst the map IS huge and IS diverse and there ARE lots of ways to travel around and LOTS of things to do - THE MISSIONS ARE THE SAME. I can't say that any clearer - the missions from region to region on the map are the same.

But - whatever it's got, it does have a hold on me and I am playing it - still. Even after 61 hours.

Why wouldn't the side missions be the same? Side missions are always the same in open world sandbox games. Not sure why anyone would attack GR over this issue anymore than any other game.

Your side missions are, in general, intimidate high level sicarios, ambush supply convoys, locate supply caches, defend rebel radio transmitters, assault bases and hack computers for intel, steal planes and helos loaded with supplies, etc. I don't see any reason why these missions should vary from one part of the country to the other...certainly the story missions to take down bunchons and high level personalities vary. Some are snatch and grabs, some are assassinations, etc.

GTA's sidemissions are samey as well, but nobody ever complains about those.
Its only cumbersome if they are needed for some grind to level, which is NOT the case in either GTA nor GR. You just do them to have fun and grab some extra's while detouring from the main story for a bit.

Side missions become a grind if you're an OCD completionist ... like me  :crazy2:

What levels do you guys play?  I found normal to be not so hard.  Thinking of bumping it up.

Yskonyn

Hardest or Second Hardest difficulty.
Although I find the borg spotting of the enemies on the highest difficulty annoying.
The game is definately too easy on normal.

jomni

Yes. Bumped it up.  It is too easy at normal and that may be the reason it gets boring for most people.

jomni

Bumping up the difficulty sure makes it more exciting. I've been playing this game a lot. More than SD44.

Just came across this one. Can't climb out. Can't kill myself because my team mates revive me. Can't kill my team mates or send them far enough away to let me die...just plain stuck.

Happens sometimes.  Just "quick travel" to a base to get out.

Narco Road DLC is out by the way.

Still sucked into this game by the way.  I fire it up every time when I have a chance.

I'm unsure if I like Narco Road.  You (separate character) are now working alone as an undercover agent in another country (with 2 or 3 provinces only). An undercover agent who possesses a drone... Wouldn't that send off alarms to your employer? You take on cartel jobs in order to gain trust and then bust the boss in the end. It feels very GTA and a bit more linear.  The new turbocharged cars are cheesy.  Fast n Furious vibe.

Now back to the original game, they added weekly challenges which can be fun. A good distraction from the story and side missions and more things to do. I think this is a positive development.
