User reviews seem very positive, I've seen GOTY bandied around, Skyrim without guns and COD on a tropical island. One common theme is its excellent and you can get side tracked very easy into looting and exploring.

Pre-ordered today.

Though not sure when I'll get round to playing it, as I'm still hooked on modding Skyrim.

Are you sure? It's not available on Steam, they're currently trying to remedy that, but no sign of it on there at the moment.

Yup Steam Uk aren't listing it and I suspect that means it'll be on Ubisoft's platform only for Digital only versions

Its going to be quite interesting to see how this one goes once it hits the public. I also wont be buying it until I know without a doubt its not the shambles that FC2 was. After FC2 I vowed to never buy a Ubisoft game againout of principle!
Well if every single press review isn't going to convince you, why would a bunch of PHers you don't know from Adam? The only way you're going to be able to convince yourself is to try it.
I'd trust the judgement of Phers over a press review.

Doesn't work...

ETA: It's on steam in other regions, so I suspect it'll appear at some point in the UK - his code should work smile

Played about 30 mins, pretty good so far. Island really has a bit of a 'live' feel to it. Love driving around in the rusty old Jap-style cars from the 70's

We've all been in that situation. Yet I get told off if I happen to walk in and blurt something out whilst Downton Abbey is on.

I had the audacity to stand in front of the TV when Hollyoaks was on....hehe

The first bit in the Jungle is pretty intense. Kept thinking i was going to die! I was bitten by a snake too..... odd.

Just started this, but it's too soon to tell. Looks better than FC2, which is good, because FC2 was one of the worst ever games.

Here's to hoping that this one doesn't feature:

  • making a warranty claim on your gun
  • having to periodically blow your nose
  • diagnosing an intermittent curtain airbag problem without the proper OBD2 reader

Have never played the previous Far Cry games (never heard of them tbh)

As a newb to the series is it worth grabbing for Christmas?
