To anyone starting the "Jacob segments"

[Smokedice]

It's too late for me to figure out since I finished them all, but does anything happen if you let the timer run out? I noticed things in the game change if you follow one of the Seed's commands or if you refuse, does this happen with Jacob in any way?

[Angry_Viking]

Sadly no... He just keeps telling you that you are weak and you start all over again...
His segments were the absolute worse, I really hate timed missions...

Ah, I see. I was hoping that disobeying him would have an effect on his ability to trigger you I'm also talking about the walk away ending

It would have been good. Since a key plot point is you going insane from this training, it would have been interesting to "unlock your inner pacifism" in a Far Cry game by actively defying Jacob. Far Cry 3 style.

I was dissapointed that I could also not refuse during the two first faith sections. Nope, after waiting in the first one nothing happened and after trying to walk the wrong way numerous times during the second.. I realised that there was not any option to do anything else than follow through.

The "You have been marked" scenes are the worst. They are pretty much unavoidable. I hate the way Ubi forces the story.

Couldn't agree more. When I got the messege that I was marked and said a hunting party was closing in, I was in a helicopter and they magically shot me with that special arrow lol.

I just fast travel away quickly before they can shoot at you. If they shoot at you, you aren’t able to fast travel anymore.

The Jacob Seed "you have been marked" is absolutely the worst thing in this game. Ok..i get why they do it but i'm BORED of it. Over and over...it's making me just want to quit the game

yeah, some people like to exaggerate to give support/prove their point about something being wrong with the way they want the game to perform, fully ignoring the fact that is is part of the story-line play-through that EVERYONE experiences.

MY gripe with it though is that it is too fast, and that after finishing a region there are no more peggies to kill. In Far Cry 3 and 4 there were enough outposts that if you finished the game you probably still had many more outposts to slaughter.

There is not enough killing in this game :(

[Hoonose]

Not only not enough outposts, by and large they are dull ones. FC4 outposts were much more complex and imaginative.

true,

After clearing the zones and completing the game, peggies are alot harder to find. They still spawn, but only in specific areas now.

Outpost reset does give you the option for more cash/peggie farming, but hardly enough to want you to continue playing.

Once you complete the story-line the first time, with the lack of options to make a 2nd play-through any different than the first, what brings players back to playing it again??

[playornot]

The worst parts of the story is they make NO sense at all, all of the forced cut scenes/missions, they know where you are, heck faith you just poof and done.. yet they are ALL looking for you, send in support to stop you. ( remember they are doing the reaping, this can not be completed if you just removed it all, in itself Jacob has nothing left but a nuke and some people, you removed his eden, that makes second ending have no sense )

The bosses want to forgive you or warp your head..yet they let you go to kill you.. errr ok, the very first combat, Jacob wants you to burn in the chopper, again making no sense to then keeping you alive after I try to kill you, nope alive, nope dead, nope alive, nope dead...

Know that he has the nuke also makes the whole game story for him not worried he allways has an end game plan, and WTF happened to dutch?? in the bunker of one of the endings.
I figured he would pull a real life and sneak out the back door with a twin or somthing lol.

If I was to say from an outside the box of what i thought the story was about without knowing anything about the game or series, it felt like i was a fith family member they where trying to bring back into the family by punishing and forgiving and second chance.. would have made more sense to play it that way.


played it through 4 times now and some co-op, it's now shelfed until my expansion pass kicks in
even played it a few on my xbox x which is pretty nice.


So end of the day,
Ubisoft: will hit 6-7 million in sales when it all dies down. = win!
Arcade = win!
DLC and future sale promos will bring some new and old back again= win!

Hate it, love it, as odd as it is and weird and story bluring allover it is a fun game with some odd bugs.

And by chance an ubisoft employee gets lost and looks over steam please:

Sam fisher, open world Splinter cell whatever!!!!!!, yes people wont like it, but the old school splinter cells need an upgrade, for me ghost WL was a massive success.
and co-op open world is a plus for splinter cell ( yes yes people say no keep it as it is, but when the growing trend is open world more people they have to look, they would probably rehash GRWL and farcry 5 and still have a hit.

A BLOODY SKIP SCENE BUTTON.. I mean really ffs.. jacobs is stupid as it is.


on a side note
why is jacob so easy to kill, I stealthed him from behind, was suprised he dropped in one....
And the curve bow, the reqs to unlck make no sense, compound is allways far superior ( from R/L uses )..

Farcry I guess, I still think 3-4 are better story wise, primal was just boring as ****.

You should write a review instead of posting here.

4 times?!?....What made you want to play through it twice let along 4 times? I can understand co-op play with friends, but 4 times you completed the story yourself?
