Clearly they were influenced by Brad Nicholson's harrowing journey of setting zebras on fire in Far Cry 2
I don't know, all the side missions he was explaining seem super, super boring, generic side missions. Races have been done to death in open world games. They are not fun. They never have been. They are poorly designed. You are trying to shove racing into a game not designed for it. STOP with the FUCKING races in open world games PLEASE.
Supply drops? Assassination missions? This all sounds like typical side mission garbage. $60 says the supply drop side missions are the same exact thing over and over again, just fetch quests. $60 says you drive around like an idiot trying to find them on your map, locate them, pick them up, and drive them back to whoever needs it. That is not fun, that is busy work. When are these developers going to understand that driving around to pick something up, turning around and driving back is NOT good game design.
I don't understand why they find it so hard to design good side missions, I really don't. I can think of 10 off the top of my head that would be more fun than races, for example. I understand side missions are not going to be as intricate or as detailed as the main missions, but being cheap, lazy and boring isn't going to cut it anymore. It's like every single open world game I've played this generation has some absolutely abysmal side missions.
Most recently, Saints Row The Third and Sleeping Dogs had absolutely terrible side missions, and now it looks like Far Cry 3 is joining them. For the love of fucking God, make exploring the world FUN, don't make it busy work. Races in open world games couldn't be more unoriginal and boring. Fetch quests couldn't be more tedious. And assassinating people is just lazy. Oh, I accepted the mission, drive 5 minutes to get to my target, and pressed the B button to assassinate. Mission Complete! BORING.

shit, aren't Galapagos turtles endangered? i can hear PETA campaigning against this bit as soon as this hits shelves.
I read somewhere that people who make corrections like tortoise vs. turtle, dolphin vs. porpoise, brontosaurus vs. whatever the real dinosaur's name is are wieners, and that's why they don't get invited to parties.

Just think about it. What would that entail in this game. Pointing at an animal and pressing the trigger. That isn't innovative. That isn't fun. That isn't interesting. All it is is swapping a human for an animal. What every happened to the side missions in a game like GTA4, where the side missions were so good and so detailed that you couldn't tell the difference between them and the main story.
What with all this racing shit and fetch quest shit and assassinations shit. That isn't fun. It work. If I wanted to work, I would.

My only question is, are the enemies still able to pinpoint and put all their bullets on you from across the map as soon as you step on a twig?
