    Wow the game ends with a capital O.M.*.G. (seriously nice expansion might follow!) Last fight is a bit lackluster and rushed obviously, but still the story telling aspect took me back to Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale. Good job Bioware! You are back indeed!!

    So is there like a demo for this game. Gotta admit, this is the first EA game in a while which spiked my interest. Still not sure about Origin though...

    Just get it you won't regret it (seriously it is the best game I played since Skyrim, it is not as good as Origins, or other RPG classics, but I think it is worth every damn penny you invest in it, its a great game, or as Joe said, a must own! :)).

    Game demos don't exist anymore (mostly) because it lowers profits as people get to actually see how crappy a game is before they buy it.... Look it up its true and was admitted by most major companies which IMO is disgusting its like not being able to test drive a car!

    Can't seem to find it. Ah whatever, I think I'll wait a couple of years till BW releases all DLCs and such, and buy an entire package for a better price. If I try playing it now I might get too tempted and I don't have the money to spend on the game.

    EA has been doing a pretty good job of offering game demos in the form of their 'Game Time' service on Origin. Games like Titanfall, Battlefield 4 and Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning.

    Ikr? It's like EA and Ubisoft have been going in opposite directions this past year.

    Was thinking the same, EA really took the yearly worst company rating and turned themselves around this year.

    Ubisoft have literally hit the bottom in my opinion. They deserve worst games company award this year. What with all the review embargoes and unfinished games!

    Luckily this will teach Ubisoft a lesson, just like it did EA.

    I've enjoyed the campaign in previous Far Cry games and IMO the original is still the best.

    FC4,IMNSHO, is terrible.

    I liked the campaign in all the COD series.The Special Ops in MW3 was very enjoyable for me

    The original Far Cry is my favorite one as well, but Far Cry 3 is probably the better overall game. I say this because the big turning point in Far Cry came about halfway through when the mutant monkey Trigens showed up and it turned into a linear and generic corridor shooter. However, Far Cry's cheesiness was more enjoyable to me than Far Cry 3's tendency to take itself too seriously at times. Far Cry 4 I haven't played yet.

    I really wanted to enjoy Far Cry 4, put it just ran like poop on my system.

    Currently waiting to play Inquisition...very eager.
    Hope it doesn't disappoint or a pull a DA2 on us with their reused props and rooms everywhere.

    It doesn't disappoint! I am nearly 30 hours in and doing mostly side quests to level up nor have I fought any dragons yet because of my level. Currently sitting at level 14.
