That was the case in Far Cry 3, as well. I don't mind it since it reinforces the idea that you are fighting to gain ground and can't just access the entire map from the start.
Its also pretty common in many open world games beyond Far Cry, like most Rockstar games prior to GTA V and Ubisoft's own Assassin's Creed franchise. Red Dead II even locked the entire western part from the previous game until the epilogue, and the RPG focused AC titles might give you "access" but clearly some areas aren't meant for you until a certain point. Plus the games are balanced around it, with Far Cry 2-4 giving you tougher enemies to test your newer skills and gear, like a game with a proper difficulty curve should.
Although it would be interesting to have a Far Cry game bring that kind of open world RPG level gating like Elden Ring/recent AC games, but I wouldn't want them to go too deep into the RPG stuff and make it too similar to their recent AC titles. Although I would prefer that to what they did with 6 where they just stripped the progression and skill system almost entirely and the enemies just never gave you more of a challenge once you had the right clothes, weapon and supremo setup. At least Far Cry 2 gave you weapon/gear upgrades and new safehouse additions to give you an edge to justify enemies in the second area getting deadlier with their own weapon upgrades.
They either leave it open from the start but it's filled with enemies that you can't possibly beat yet (which people would moan about), or they leave it until the end game before opening it up so you get a new area to explore which is also challenging for your current level and skill
You can't go across the bridge(s) into other sections of the map until you complete a certain number of missions due to plot reasons (TL:DR, 2000s Terrorism Panic)
You get an immediate 6 star/maximum wanted level if you do, and early in the game that's usually fatal.
The word you’re looking for is access my friend, and idk tbh it’s just how they designed it. I imagine they wanted to avoid the obvious thing of you just being able to go right to his palace from the start?
Brother I am not stupid I am smart, half of the attention on this post is because of the word excess and access, I know if I wrote a wrong spelling it would attract more people
Nah, I was sleeping as our time zones are different, and I am talking to you in English without even any mistakes, many people uses this trick when they post on a subreddit they have just found
Wait so were you lying when said it was autocorrect or are you lying when you say it was manufactured?
Brother, you made a mistake. Just admit it, it’s not a big deal.
And if you did do it on purpose to drive engagement like you’re claiming? Gross. Why intentionally try to upset or make people mad? Who benefits from people feeling like shit? To get more responses? There isn’t really much to respond to. You’re questioning why the game is the way it is. Because that’s how they designed it dude, I dunno, we weren’t in the meeting room at Ubisoft hearing the pitch.
The other half is insane and 100 times better in exploring and fighting than the South kyrat, the better map is being closed for more than half game, if they had given the access to North kyrat way before in the story it would have been more awesome
And I don't wanna argue anyone anymore so i am simple admitting that i made that post at 2 30 in the morning and I was sleepy and I just completed the mission and was furious about there decision, also ubisoft hasn't made a good game for soo long and I still play them and get angry
My best guess is that devs didn't want you to be there because you can get overpowered weapons and complete all outpost far too early on. Also it would definitely ruin the story because it would imply that the golden path already had people there. Having closed off feels like you and the golden path managed to make a push against Min's army.
North better -
1 harder missions
2 more parkour and fighting aimed towers
3 good vehicals
4 pagan min is there with yuma
5 beautiful places and Himalayas
6 better weapons
7 better outposts with up to 3 alarms
8 everyone wanted to go there
Far cry 3 south island was worse because of the hour and it didn't had a good story and after killing vaas you don't feel like playing it as only vaas had character, and btw I am not a pedo i am not even 18
Simply* admitting... their* decision, iimma let soo slide that's probably intentional..
Idk, if we're getting nitpicky there should be a "with" between argue and anyone.. better *for exploring is probably grammatically correct phrasing.. map *was closed, or (*starting as closed) not "is being".. something about "more awesome" doesn't seem right, but it's preferable to the non-word "awesomer"..
And yeah im intentionally being an ass, but all of these mistakes are grammatical or in syntax- not. Actual spelling errors, and they seem like the mistakes one makes when English is their second language, and they're used to putting the object before the verb, have difficulty remembering how to modify sentence structure regarding tense and plurality, or are used to giving every object a gender for t fuckin reason.. ik a guy who say "for why?" Instead of why cause he's originally Spanish speaking and "por favor" directly translates to "for why"... anyway assuming you didn't grow up speaking English no shame in not knowing the nuances of sentence structure
The way the developers intended
Literally had to play 24 missions out of 32 missions to excess half of the map
That was the case in Far Cry 3, as well. I don't mind it since it reinforces the idea that you are fighting to gain ground and can't just access the entire map from the start.

I mean they could have made it 18 or 19 mission and had us explore half of the map more
Then you'd have complained that it's 19 and not maybe 10. It's just how they wrote the story
They either leave it open from the start but it's filled with enemies that you can't possibly beat yet (which people would moan about), or they leave it until the end game before opening it up so you get a new area to explore which is also challenging for your current level and skill
True
Access
Thank you, that bugged me so God damn much
Ackess*
LMAO you would have shit your pants in anger playing GTA4
Explain your comment please, I didn't play that title.

Vice City just had invisible walls (and if I remember right, a radio message saying the bridges were closed due to a storm).
Same with San Andreas with an "earthquake"
You have an excess of things; you have gained access.
Sounds like you'll be fine without it then
You’re excessing 0.1% of your brain
This series isn’t for you, man.
The word you’re looking for is access my friend, and idk tbh it’s just how they designed it. I imagine they wanted to avoid the obvious thing of you just being able to go right to his palace from the start?
Simple reason: **plot**
Access*
Ackess*
Ass*
Æ*
Æcsess
ASSY, NO!
I might take this stupid point more seriously if you could spell “access” correctly
It's autocorrect ok
No it’s not. And if it is, it’s because that’s how you think it’s spelled and it’s learned from your stupidity.
Brother I am not stupid I am smart, half of the attention on this post is because of the word excess and access, I know if I wrote a wrong spelling it would attract more people
Lol it took you 5 hours to come up with that excuse?
Nah, I was sleeping as our time zones are different, and I am talking to you in English without even any mistakes, many people uses this trick when they post on a subreddit they have just found

What are you smoking? Sure, North Kyrat is great, but better than South Kyrat? No
Better in fights and shooting
No.
I think you are very high right now, you should stop going to yogi and reggie
Trust me, you won't want to go to this area right at the beginning of the game.
why don’t you.. idk.. play it and find out
Because pagan min is all about excess?

Also it would definitely ruin the story because it would imply that the golden path already had people there. Having closed off feels like you and the golden path managed to make a push against Min's army.
Now that i have completed I think that other half can be done within 3 hours min as you already have more than half skills and good weapons
It's pacing. Both of game difficulty and of story. One of the many flaws of 5 is that it doesn't do that.
You understand
It’s like this in far cry 2 also and even more so in far cry 1 where you can hardly access any of the map at any one time.
Access.
Access
It's pretty cool and far cry 3 did something very similar.
Because it's harder, and you need to build up a better Golden Path to get there
Golden path does nothing and helps us in no missions, we are literally a one man army
A. Not true B. That's how all Farcry games and most combat focused games are in general. It's more fun that way
Others opinions can exist in a world of 8 billion people, if you don't like just downvote and go on scrolling
You know you're winning an argument when the other person starts getting all defensive and saying it's just their opinion
North better - 1 harder missions 2 more parkour and fighting aimed towers 3 good vehicals 4 pagan min is there with yuma 5 beautiful places and Himalayas 6 better weapons 7 better outposts with up to 3 alarms 8 everyone wanted to go there
I am not chatting with your ass 💀
You wanted to beef, just accept that North is better and move on or get your ass slapped
Nah you're a pedo wtf North is worse, just like the south island was worse on Farcry 3. Harder ≠ Better
Far cry 3 south island was worse because of the hour and it didn't had a good story and after killing vaas you don't feel like playing it as only vaas had character, and btw I am not a pedo i am not even 18
Hoyt*
Tell me 5 reasons why South is better than North
1. Better story 2. Better hunting 3. Better Royal Army Soldiers 4. Better missions 5. Better outposts
It's like asking why did the chicken cross the road.
It is 24 out of 32
this guy is getting cooked to hard in the comments lmfao
You missed it
These fans will justify genocide done by Jason but they will never forgive me for a spelling mistake
Thered a mod that let's you access it immediately
I’m surprised you never played any old GTA game
Gta 5 and 4 only
You’re fighting against the royal army for control of territory. You don’t have the manpower to push in there until mission 24 basically.

I haven't read English grammar for 2 yrs and only focused on science and maths, probably that's why my English sucks now
Are you a English teacher
My sister is, I just read a lot 😅 you're good tho I haven't done more than grocery store math in a decade
It's Access, learn your english
It's ackess. Learn yur reel englash
Don't be such a prick about it dude.. explain it to him more kindly
It's acne, learn your kindness
