The outpost missions are just one of many, many gameplay elements Far Cry 4 offers. I could have done it ten different ways, but this is the way I did it. This is the most surefire way to get me invested in a game: give me total ownership of whether, and how, I succeed. I had to take down guys in the right order, stay as quiet as I could, sneak over and shut off an alarm. There are plenty of things to collect in Far Cry 4, but whenever I succeed in taking down one of these outposts - there are dozens of them in this beautiful, terrifying micronation - it's always because I finally got smart. The game gets to do all the evolving you're just the jerk pushing the buttons. They're about you appeasing whatever bean-counter of a god runs this game until you earn enough brownie points to earn a more powerful gun. Games like Destiny aren't really about you getting better. There is no handier example of this than Destiny, a graphically marvelous celebration of stamp-collecting and errand-running that is one of the worst video games I have ever played. The market is flooded with video games built with the idea that getting better at a game ought to be a product of putting in grunt work and clocking the hours, rather than actually getting better. Moments like these are, to me, what elevate video games from forgettable time-wasting to fascinating experiences. I've spent the last hour trying to do this on the "hard" setting, and failing, and this does not bother me at all. I am one guy trying to take down an outpost of at least a dozen men all by myself. This guy walks along the wall, but stops every time to talk to his buddy. This guy walks circles around this building. Through my binoculars, I was noting the patrols of every guard in the outpost. I had a sniper rifle and assault rifle full of ammo, a few grenades, and some bait for luring away any wild animals. I was crouched behind a tree just outside this enemy outpost. Seven or eight minutes ago, I swear, the world of Far Cry 4 made sense. I am out of bullets and ideas and everything has gone wrong and I am totally fucked. I'm somewhere in northern Kyrat, and I'm playing out the funniest, weirdest, loudest, stupidest, and most chaotic scene I have ever witnessed in a video game.
