Far Cry 6

I'm oddly really looking forward to this one, the last one I really enjoyed was 3. The rest just went a little... Meh.

This one seems to be a bit slower paced which I'm excited for.

I enjoyed 4 -5 was pish. I'll be all over this if initial reviews are favourable.

Seen some people on the far cry subreddit already got their copy from Amazon. I might have travel to Australia/New Zealand sometime soon.

Do you need to have played the last ones or is this standalone?

I played a little of FC3 and FC5, FC5 was a bit...naff!

This is standalone.

Far Cry 2 was by far my favourite.

Agreed, 3 was also great but it just didn't have the grit that 2 had.

Also, looking around, it seems this could release at midnight on the 7th (aka, late night 6th).

Really looking forward to this, if it's more of the same then I know I'll enjoy it. Does look crazy with some of the home made weapons etc.

AMD support said the key should be available once the game is released.

I have just checked and yep that is what it says, if memory serves I think I had to wait a few days for one key for a game and chase them for another.

Ignore. Sold out.

Just flicked through JackFrag's first playthrough video of this. Looks very underwhelming and rather graphically poor, which is surprising given how high the recommended specs are.

Think I will wait till its patched first.

My preload is done, all waiting and ready to do some co-op fun

Did you add the HD texture pack "DLC"?
11GB Vram seemed quite greedy!

No idea, I just clicked on Ultimate edition and downloaded, I'll look and see if that did the HD too

EDIT : ahh, no it didnt download the HD too, I'll give it a spin without the texture pack first though and see how it does that way before downloading the pack

I am assuming you can only preload if you buy direct from Ubi or Epic rather than through AMD rewards?

As an AMD sponsored title what did you expect

Cannot do anything until we get the codes.
