Sometimes you see Jason skip ahead a few seconds. Far Cry 3 has an autosave system where if you reload a fresh save, sometimes it places you ahead. I tried to find and utilise such opportunities.
Examples: 7:12, 8:14, 8:53. The largest such skip is probably at 13:13.

This game isn't normally playable in stereoscopic 3D. To do that, you have 2 options:
- Far Cry 3 Helix mod: http://helixmod.blogspot.com/2012/12/farcry3-dx9-only-3d-vision-fix.html
- TriDef has a free trial option: http://www.tridef.com/download/TriDef-3D-latest.html
