Far Cry 4

Didn't see any topic about this game yet - looks like fun, anyone else plan to pick this up? Hope Ubisoft don't announce the same kind of crazy unoptimized 30fps GTX 680 minimum requirements as Assassin's Creed Unity.

Learned today Far Cry 4 has not only open world co-op, but also PVP...with elephants

I pre-ordered it a while back, I enjoyed 3 a lot so why not

Maybe it can get me out of Beyond Earth for a few days lol

 

Pretty much half of the forum is looking forward to FC4 I am sure It will be a good game I think, they have a lot of new mechanics added + I prefer the new environment to the previous island theme

 

Ubioptimization inbound, min graphics card: SLI 980Ms for 720p 30fps low graphics

 

I think I'll be able to play on high with a 970m at about 80fps like with fc3

Good luck with that.

 

For me the game looks better than FC3, I wouldn't count on having the same framerate. Also note that the 80fps on notebookcheck is taken under 1366x768 resolution

 

Wait, you mean you don't have to even overclock them?!?

 

My apologies, I meant to say 980M SLI with each card vBIOS hacked to unlock the full GM204 cores in them AMD 7950-->7970 style, with 1500 core and 8000MHz memory.

And only 25fps in high action scenes.

 

Fixed that for ya

Looking forward to the game, but will definitely not preorder. I enjoyed FC3, even though it took me years (literally) to complete. And it actually ran well until I started updating drivers - that's when the black boxes started to appear.

 

Really looking forward to it!
FC3 was fantastic. I never had performance problems with it back on the 7970M. Who knows now with a 680M...

I re-played FC3 earlier this year still on the 7970M and found it ran much better than at release. They must have improved something since they released it. I might just wait a year for half a dozen patches to be released haha

 

Far Cry 4? You mean Far Cry 3.5? God damn Ubisoft don't deserve my money. "Games don't need to be optimised for PC, the player will just buy a better PC" "30FPS is more cinematic" "Resolution is just a number" So much cringe, I can hardly deal with it.

 

Even though "30 fps is more cinematic", truth be told I am still looking forward to AssCreed:Unity (thank you octiceps, you are making me smile every single time I remember it) and FarCry4.

 

Don't forget these gems:

"95% of PC gamers are pirates."

"Watch Dogs lead platform is PC."

 

tbh, with Dead Rising 3, I learned I don't mind 30fps all that much, as long as it is consistent.

 

Blasphemy!

 

Hold on.. Dead Rising 3 runs 30 fps on 880m SLI?!

 

Thank goodness I have a really old laptop, so I can get even more cinematic 10fps if I dial up all the settings.

 

Game is locked at 30, you can unlock it but I don't bother

Maaan, your laptop must be like a mini-cinema. I can already feel that butter smooth cinematic feeling of 10FPS.

 

Totally, we make popcorn and the whole family gathers around the hp envy when I play Ubisoft games. It's like a little film festival, overload of silky smooth cinematic fun.

 

And load times are just as long as regular TV commercial break, you can prep a light snack, sandwich, heck even can go to the restroom! Thank you Ubi! You are so kind!!

 

Quick to criticise but ubisoft is the only game developer to release a true open world game that is simply good old fashioned single player fun!

I might criticise too if this wasn't the case!!

 

That is just, like, your opinion, man.

 

What other fps is there like far cry?

 

So that's why it's called an HP Envy.

Also being the sucker I am, most likely I'll end up buying the Kyrat Edition.

I.. you.. WUT? Holy hell even 60 FPS is starting to not cut it for me anymore.

#firstworldproblems

 

Crysis & Crysis Warhead, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, Deus Ex 1 & 3, Far Cry 1 & 2.

 

Blood Dragon is a very worthy expandalone to FC3, and I think I actually enjoyed it more.

Third person shooter but Just Cause 2 is tons of fun -- that grappling hook is magic.

 

I agree on both counts. FC3 takes itself too seriously.

 

I hate when a game lets me select 120Hz and I can't get it above 60fps. You're not alone where 60fps isn't enough anymore.

 

The forum broke and this is a double post. Or my internet broke. Or something broke. Mods you can delete this particular post.

 

JC2 Multiplayer Mod is crazy, so much fun

 

Flying boats, nuff said!

 

Well, its not FPS (we could have called it FPCaster ) but Elder Scrolls (I played 3-4-5, sadly missed the 2 ) is unrivaled in terms of open world (Fallout 3 was also, I think it is safe bet to say Bethesda is the king of open world games).

 

Does this title have Ubi exclusive "Cinematic 30FPS" lock?

 

Yeah, aren't these guys awesome they included cinematic look free of charge? I'd pay extra!

 

It's a pre-order DLC. If you didn't preorder you'll get ~25FPS.

 

Ah crap...then I'm not going to pay & play this game.

 

There is seriously Day 1 DLC atm right?

 

If by that you mean pre-order DLC then yes, there are.

 

I wish I knew this too, its the only thing keeping me from wanting it.

 

Even better - bring on the silky smooth cinematic slideshow!

 

With the specs you are sporting there in the sig (and me too) I think you won't need any DLCs for that! All we need is that special Ubioptimization.

 

Whaaaaat?! Ubi is giving us PPT for free?!

 

So here we are again Ubisoft...

 

lol, I don't know what I'm having more fun with - playing Ubi games or criticizing them for crap optimization.

 

Modern Ubisoft isn't all bad. Child Of Light is a fantastic game.

 

1) Looking forward to more open world sneaky mayhem
2) Will not preorder
3) Will buy when it's proven not to be a shiny turd
4) Screw the DLC

 

It's a tough decision. GMG are offering 23% on the preorder of this game. These voucher codes never work on games that have only just launched, only preorders. It's the only reason why I ever preorder any game ever (well that and also to preload games on Steam because the house's ISP, Virgin Media, have dodgy internet connections that can cop out without a moments notice for many hours at a time - not common, but it has happened on several occasions in the past year). I can buy it now for only £28.88 - compare that to the £49.99 launch price and you can see why the 23% deal is so enticing...

On a related note, has anyone noticed how GMG has switched back to using only USD? It shows me all the prices in GBP when I first check the website but as soon as I log in, it switches all prices to USD. I'm certainly not complaining, as it actually makes everything significantly cheaper! Just wondered if anyone else has noticed this happening (been like this for a few months now)

 

I don't see the discount, did it just get removed or maybe it's just not available in the US?
