macd Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Jesus, 75% was far more boring than I expected. Watched a whole lot of TV shows on my laptop while I did it. Anyway total time: 47:24:10 on Casual (Did a Pro run in 18ish hours first) 53 Challenges completed 100% in 242/339 discovered locations 1748 resource items - 638 weapon parts - 604 vehicle parts - 229 armour parts - 277 cash stashes - 250/300 faction items 1784 Sabotages Not the worst game to 100% but probably the biggest final slog. Had fun doing everything up until the 75% items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintKnight Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Dear Lord, I'm going to have fun...I'm going for 100% in this game now. Good thing I have a week of nothing to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxy kyle Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I had fun the whole time i got my 75%. This game never bores me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintKnight Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I had fun the whole time i got my 75%. This game never bores me Same here. The final 2% was a chore because I forced myself to get it before I went to bed so I could wake up and do Hardcore mode. I have too much fun doing random crap in this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bertard Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Im free from this chore of a game. Really enjoyed the story and both my casual and hardcore plays but it was the 75% that destroyed my soul! But now i am free and can play other games. This is one that I knew if i put it down I would never go back to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NataSS Inc Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I just completed my 75% while doing the hard core run. Talk about a grind on hardcore. I wish I would have done everything on casual first and then just done a hard core play through. Now I only have 3 achievements left and I might as well finish it out on hardcore.

I wish I would have done everything on casual first and then just done a hard core play through. Now I only have 3 achievements left and I might as well finish it out on hardcore. You may have answered the question I was about to ask.... I completed the game on Hardcore, but am currently only at 29%. My internal debate is: Do I mop everything up on Hardcore, or re-start the game on Casual for the 75% run + misc achievements left? I've already spent a good deal of time towards the mop-up. I like a challenge, but I'm getting a little weary of the incessant harassment while trying to complete settlements. It doesn't take much for a little bit of heat to escalate to a full blown conflict that either results in 15 wasted minutes, death, or both. On the other hand, I don't relish the amount of work it will take to catch up to my current degree of progress. I figure if I'm going to restart on casual, then better to do it sooner rather than later.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure if I'm going to restart on casual, then better to do it sooner rather than later.... I got 75% completion on Hardcore difficulty and it wasn't too bad. I died many times while trying to complete settlements and collect faction items, but since the progress you make is automatically saved, I completed them in no time. Starting a new game on Casual difficulty and getting to 75% would most likely take more time than getting 75% on Hardcore difficulty. Also, whenever I needed to wreak havoc or travel around Panau, I purchased the Rowlinson K22 from the Black Market. It's only $25,000 and you should be loaded with cash after you complete the game.

I just spent a few minutes perusing my current progress stats in the menus, and can't bring myself to start over. 29% in this game is like 80% in other games. You're right-- I think the key is to embrace death. (And maybe even leverage it as a means of transportation.) Onward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, once I hit 50% and realised exactly how far along I was, I couldnt turn back. Especially after already having 15 of the challenges completed. You have to reach down, grab ahold and gut it out. all i have left is "wrecking ball" and "invincible warrior" left to get. I just started a casual playthough to get those.

Paka Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It was the last one I got in this before I put it aside for now; it did take forever, even on casual. Had fun doing it for the most part, though it did become a chore towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NataSS Inc Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I just finally got my 1000/1000 on this game. But I feel strangely drawn to try and go for 100% completion...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRISHCAB4 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 It doesn't bore, but it gets very repetative. This is one of those games I look at on the shelf and say...."There has to be something better to play." I'm at about 65% complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooljoe Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I loved going for 75 percent in this game. Really made the completion worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Man Adam Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 If I ever get bored of going for the 75% I just hop in the big military plane and leisurely fly around, then die trying to do bridge limbo in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paka Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Since my last post here, I traded in the game, and now I regret it. It felt like a chore towards the end of getting the 75% at the time, but this is a game you eventually will find yourself wanting to come back to. Guess I'll have to pick it up again, but not right away, too backlogged as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNxWattZ Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I wouldn't say the boring, but I definitely agree with those that say it's repetitive. Completing locations is especially draining, especially the biggest ones. I've wasted at least an hour trying to find those last destructive/resource items just to hit 100%. Some of the destructive items are just in the worst places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Ridley Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I started to get bored around the 72% mark, which is quite a way away from 75%. I absolutely adore the game though, so I carried on going through and started to make it fun for myself. It's just doing those quick settlements, which are pretty much the same places. The layout is exact so you get pretty bored after doing 100 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt Anaconda Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 So I just reached 75% on this game finally and all I can say is... what a grind!

dfeeney13 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Am I just being a bit thick as everyone talks like it says in your stats screen but I cannot see what percentage I'm at, does it tell you once you have finished all agency missions?
