I'm running on ultra with a rx480, damn it's nice having no draw distance limits
The game itself I'll give it another play but I think it could get boring fast as there's no real objective
Never going to be very engaging playing vs CPU but I guess that's the point of ghost recon
What FPS you getting? My younger brother has it on very high on his rx480 and regardless of the options, he can't ever get the FPS above 40. I will say that the GPU usage seems to be bugged and apparently ranges from 20% to 60%. We've tried the suggestions of fps limit to 60, borderless mode (no V-sync obviously)) and such, but never get the GPU usage fixed.
Meanwhile I can't hold 60 (usually around 50s) at a mix of Ultra and very high on my 970. I'm not sure whether it's supposed to be like that or if the game is coded badly since playing Far Cry 4 on Ultra has me 70+ FPS. I am using controller though, since I can play from the bed instead of having to sit on the floor (don't have a proper PC desk).
The actual game itself is fun. Stealth is my kind of jam and even getting noticed and having to whip out the loud guns is exciting too. There was a cool mission where we assaulted a communications satellite high up and had to run up and hack the terminal in time, whilst going through the rooms and taking out the enemies as fast as possible. Missions like that will do this game good if there's more like it.
My only issue is the progression feels a tad lackluster. Tackling enemy camps seems pointless since the enemies respawn later. Unlike games like Far Cry 3/4 and Metal Gear, you don't seem to be able to 'clear' enemy outposts. And getting points to level up is only limited to a handful of missions or finding measly amounts of supplies around the place. A lot of big areas don't even have many supplies.
Oh and picking up weapons is also punished. If you quit the game or waypoint (or die), your weapons will revert to whatever you have on your loadout. So you can't keep cool stuff like sniper rifles you pick off bad guys. I understand not being able to customise picked up weapons, mod them or equip them in loadouts, obviously that what's reserved for weapons you unlock, but losing stuff you picked up just rubs me the wrong way.
Game is nice though. I can see myself eventually buying it, maybe when it gets cheaper and includes all additional content (like Gold Edition). I waiting a couple of years before buying Far Cry 4 complete version, so I may do the same here.
