How well do you think this will run on an 5ghz i7 with a R9 290 @ 1080p chaps?

Currently playing through some FC4 dlc (Valley of Yetis) and the game obviously flies on Very High/Ultra settings. Does FC5 utilise the same engine by any chance? Just trying to figure out if I'll get visually immersive gameplay otherwise I'll opt to get this for my PS4 Pro.

3rd was very similar to 4 so if you didn't like that you wouldn't like 4 to be honest. 4 is the better game though

I really don't think it is FC4 is crap compared to FC3.

I've played both for the first time recently - there isn't much between the two.

Just pre-purchased FC5 there, bit gutted though, cant install before Tuesday

I thought I could and not launch until release day).

Cant wait to play tbh!!

Half tempted to get it in PS4 from Simplygames so its earlier, but must resist...

Really enjoyed FC3, the villain was truly off his rocker. For some reason never really got started with FC4, kept trying to start it several times and for one reason or another never got passed the first hour or so. Going to pre-order this though, the theme and setting really appeals to me. Doesn't help that the game play trailers make it look really fantastic.

Might go with the same setup i have on FC4 in weapon slots.

Pistol, Assault Rifle, Sniper and Flamethrower. seems to work well.

Tek81 · 23 Mar 2018 at 16:55

Might get this next week, depending on the reviews. If I do, it's bow all the way. As with 3 and 4.

Kainz · 23 Mar 2018 at 17:41

Weapon wise, in clockwise: M79 Grenade Launcher (sidearm), Sniper Rifle (silenced) , RPG, Assault Rifle.

The gren launcher was amazing for taking out other vehicles whilst driving about in FC4

Looking forward to the reviews!

I was excited for this game, then heard it has micro-transactions. We've come a long way since just plain buying the full game with Far Cry 3. Any excitement I had for this game died with that news. Such a shame, looked like an amazing game. On the plus side, I've yet to finish Far Cry 4, so I can always jump back into that.

I hope you folks enjoy this game. Preferably without getting tempted to let them leech your wallet.

Most of the vehicles are earned with in game cash. A few are Silver Bars (premium currency) only.

I just like the brighter more open setting I guess.

Preload is now available via Uplay. The download is only ~25Gb which seems incredibly small by recent standards.

sharpygsxr · 24 Mar 2018 at 14:42

Got a key fropm cdkeys wasnt payin the uplay price thats for sure. Whats the norm with cdkeys releasing for preorders? Day of release or day before? Would be nice to get it preloaded in time. Decided to jump in as due to be off work from Wedensday to easter tuesday. Going into FC5 pretty blind so im actually lookin forward to it last one i played was FC3.

Guy I know is playing it on PS4 already. Said it's amazing, guns are all solid (though he prefers the bow) locations are amazing and on hard the enemies are up there with Halo level AI (reviving each other and proper flanking).

He's not prone to hyperbole so fingers crossed! I just want to know how he's playing it a week early, the swine.

Digital X · 24 Mar 2018 at 16:56

Yeah few people on far cry reddit have their xbox copy. Ive been watching WIlly B's videos on it, looks so damn good.

Sounds encouraging.
