Far Cry 4

[caLLous]

Ubisoft: Far Cry 4 on PS4, Xbox One Equivalent to PC Ultra High.

read: We're going to dumb down the PC version until it resembles the shitty console version.

Somebody get me my shotgun.

Ubisoft are a sinking ship as far as PC gaming is concerned. I have no doubt that The Division will be garbage now.

What i said elsewhere on farcry 4 (couldn't give a f*ck about anything else except if it's good fun to play, envelopes pushed and all);

Anything i've seen about this is the same old far cry, which means nothing has persuaded me to try the series(outside blood dragon because 80s ). Assassins creed peeked my interest with a nice setting in black flag, but it wasn't enough to warrant the money. This doesn't even peek interest.

Woooh, it's close. Pre-release hype seems to have been positive. The map is the same size as Far Cry 3 but much more actual accessible land because there's no islands and stuff.

Cool. Getting this on Tuesday. I liked fc 3 so I hope fc4 is more of the same

 

[Billargh]

I'm struggling to get excited about this. As much as I loved Farcry 3, all Ubisoft games are the same thing reskinned these days. Climb a watchtower, clear out a base, find x collectable, zzzzzzzzzz.

 

[Moriath]

But I like that hehe. Been watching a stream it looks good

 

[PLightstar]

I tend to avoid the hype machines, around Ubisoft games. Just picked up Watch Dogs and am enjoying it. Will end up getting FC4 at some point, I have seen that trailer from E3 and thats it. Just wish they could make better PC ports, even if it meant we would get it a little later than the consoles.

 

[Moriath]

Watch dogs was fun. I completed that

 

[caLLous]

Well I think this is excellent so far. I've not played a great deal but it's got all the bits that made #3 good and then more stuff too. The story seems a bit pap though, which is a pity because Pagan Min is fantastic.

Also, elephants. And rhinos.

 

[Raven]

Is it locked at 30fps or can you ramp it up on the PC?

 

[caLLous]

Hah. No, despite what I also read about it being locked at 30fps, I've not often gone below 60.

 

[Raven]

I'll watch the Total Biscuit port video later on and might get it. Loved the last one but really, really dislike Ubisoft and their business practices.

 

[Scouse]

really, really dislike Ubisoft and their business practices.

This tbfh.

 

[caLLous]

Don't give them any money then.

 

[Moriath]

Don't give them any money then.

Ooo. Arrr. Shiver me timbers

 

[Raven]

Sod piracy, you just play into their hands with that shit. I would sooner not play it than pirate it.

 

[leggy]

Hah. No, despite what I also read about it being locked at 30fps, I've not often gone below 60.

This on full detail?

What card do you have?

 

[caLLous]

Everything on "Ultra" (with motion blur turned off, thank you very much). Only a Radeon HD 7970 (Sapphire Vapor-X 3GB). It spends most of its time at ~70fps but does occasionally dip below (as the port report video said it would with the "hitching"). It runs a lot better than #3 did though, as I recall.

 

[leggy]

Cheers. I actually asked because of #3's performance. 4 looks much prettier so I assumed it wouldnt run as well on my pc.

 

[Scouse]

Sod piracy, you just play into their hands with that shit.

Don't see how you play into their hands...

 

[Raven]

Crazy DRM and the excuses for it

 

[caLLous]

You get the opportunity to redo individual outposts after you've taken them over as well to "practise" and improve your score. Much better system than in #3 where there was no option to redo any of them and then, in a patch, they let you reset all of them, not individual ones.

It's exactly the same as Far Cry 3 basically.

 

[Raven]

Its £28 in cdkeys. Pretty tempted...though I may wait and see if it gets discounted at xmas on steam (currently 49.99)

 

[leggy]

49.99 .. I'll tell the jokes.

 

[Raven]

Yeah it seems a bit silly really, not sure if it is all down to them though.

 

[Moriath]

Got it for less than that in sainsburys for the ps4

 

[Raven]

Yeah but who wants to play it at 30fps.

 

[Moriath]

Yeah but who wants to play it at 30fps.

Doesn't bother me. Never noticed much difference except in multiplayer fps where you can get reactions etc quicker.

Prefer it on my 42 inch plasma over 24 inch monitor
