Damn this is hard. Seems harder than fc3. Rhinos are brutal, lol.
Those damn eagles are insane too. I saw one pick up a pig and fly away with it and then drop it in the river. Was pretty funny!

I absolutely loved JC2. JC3 while decent, feels like it took a couple steps backward.

FC4 takes everything FC3 did and does it better.

If those are the only two you're choosing between, I'd say FC4 was the right choice.

Rhinos are tough but you can avoid them. The eagles you will learn to hate.

I love watching the rhinos wreck enemy NPC cars.

kind of wondering if I should have bought JC3 instead, lol.

I don't care about any of the characters. The main character has no personality whatsoever.

Story is pretty crappy.

Sure there's lots of different guns but only a few are worth using because they have better stats then the rest. Why use something half a accurate and does half the damage? Not only that, you get those guns almost immediately!

I have way more money than I know what to do with, its kind of pointless.

I've skinned like 50 billion animals so far and he says "ugh" or whatever after every single one still. you think you'd get used to it.


not sure if JC3 is any better in any of those areas though...

I'm currently playing JC3 and it feels really shallow. All of the settlements and bases are nearly identical. Either fuel tanks, satellite dishes or electric boxes to shoot at and about 4-5 different types of foot soldiers.

With FC4, it's still a lot of doing the same thing, but at least you have hunting, crafting and other exploration type activities. JC3 has things to find, but the skills are tied to completing the same type of challenges over and over. I also found the controls in FC4 to be much tighter while JC3 sometimes just doesn't work.
