I got so freaking tired of the main character constantly dying, yet not dying. Also, the boss fights were some of the worst I've ever seen. Those little dreamlike sequences were stupid.
Also, for a RPG, the game was really lacking in replay value and length.

I haven't stopped playing since I bought it on Friday evening..damn work. I'm having a shite load of fun with it right now, but I haven't done too much of the story, just running around having fun figuring out different ways to blow up/set traps for the outposts.
I find mines and C-4 to be extremely fun. I've started purposely being less stealthy and making the guys set off alarms just so I can blow up jeep after jeep of 3-4 man crews

I just got my grenade launcher last night, then had to drop it in place a flame thrower to go torch a bunch of fields  that said, I intend to blow up a lot of shite soon with that grenade launcher and try out the rocket launcher soon too

exactly. I wish I hadn't bought it. Doesn't have much replay value. Was really fun though.
good luck with the bar

I cleared my first tower and camp last night, will be playing it tonight and tomorrow. I am used to most single player games only lasting 10-15 hours so if I get that then I got the norm. I did wait to get it at 30% off though.

This game is fricking incredible. I would suggest doing the hunting and radio tower quests first so you unlock badass weapons and carrying capacity
Exactly what I started to do. I have always been a huge COD guy, but after BLOPS2 sucked a big one, I decided to get this game. Def one of the better RPG's I have ever played

So you have to drop your current weapon to get another one, the store says I own other weapons but how do I equip them?

You can equip up to four weapons at a time, provided you went hunting and have the requisite materials to fabricate a larger inventory.

Got to the dog hunt and it made me drop my AK for the shotgun, it says I own one but I can't equip it or find it in my rucksack that has room

Find one of those storage/gun shop things at fast travel locations. You can swap out guns and upgrade them too.

Also, I've been consciously trying to integrate the word "rucksack" into my daily vocabulary thanks to this game.

Used to it growing up on military bases and ex military myself.
I was just coming to post that I figured out how to switch weapons. My kingdom for some damn pigs my wallet is too small.

Here's a hint for the true nerds. If you are collecting relics, there is one in the cave where your buddies are hanging out that doesn't show on the map. If you beat the game, you can't go back for it. Suck spending that much time collecting 119 of 120 relics and then find out you ant complete it. frick.
