Ubisoft FarCry 5 'are you ready' thread just shown up....

Hmm, without wanting to I was forced into killing Faith which was a bit of an anticlimax.
Trying to get all the properties lije shribes but am having to fly about in a helecopter in the hope that they will appear on my map or is there another way?
 
Why is it my helicopter keeps disappearing? I go to my next mission land nearby finish the mission then I find my helicopters gone:(
 
Malaria was annoying and game got a lot of stick for repetition but I really liked the whole mercenary vibe of FC2.

Just finished 3 which I found rather uninspiring halfway through and can' say rest of them look that appealing to me now.
 
Picked this up with a Samsung Nvne M2 drive offer, first impressions not worth the £40 to £50 they are asking, more of the same just a different location, new story and no eye candy improvements this developer really needs to get some creative talent on board.
 
That FC2 video about sums it up, especially after the majesty of AC: Origins and the leaps forward in game-play mechanics for that series. Still, FC5 is still enjoyable albeit now tinged with disappointment after being reminded of those touches in FC2.
 
I was referring to SteamLink, the d-pad doesn't work for me either and that includes the XBox controller. Other than to try out FC on the link I play on my PC so not sure how much difference it makes.
Yeah my steam link is up to date I think.

Really annoying that the d pad won't work through the steam link as I just wanted to relax and play in front of tv :(

Well that's just because FC2 was before they realised that they can just churn out the same vapid low effort recycled content game after game after game and have people lap it up...
 
Bought this on Sunday and so far only managed a couple of hours game time, I haven't touched a Far Cry game since 3 but I am really enjoying this. When I've completed it I'll go back and get FC4 on the cheap.
 
The game is enjoyable but currently marred by several things, these are pointed out on Ubisoft forum hoping the devs will patch it.

Things such as forced abductions that you can't avoid,these are annoying as hell & you can even get abducted and shot with an arrow in your leg whilst in a helicopter. I've worked out that when 'YOU ARE BEING HUNTED' suddenly appears you have a few seconds to load the map & move although you will eventually have to give in or seemingly the game wont progress.

A forced confrontation with the boss of each area that's triggered by the game rather than the player who might want to complete all the side missions/collections/ hunting etc first. I've not reached the part to fight a boss yet & apparently you can slow it down by not rescuing civilians as this moves the resistance bar.

Animals that you shoot from a distance but have disappeared when you get over to loot them. Shoot an animal from out of a car window, get out to loot it & it's not there. I've seen this one myself

Missions that trigger themselves as active when you did not select it & you get warnings of leaving the mission area, I've had this one happen several times, one in particular 'Testy' or whatever it is called keeps telling me to go to the barn to get a vehicle & trailer even though it's not even selected in the mission list :rolleyes:

Regardless of all of that nothing is game breaking for me so far so hopefully a patch will address most of the things players are complaining about

You're not forced to confront John Seed, you have to go to him. Although the town changes (bar is closed etc) so a couple of missions that were available can not be started until after you confront him.

No game breaking issues here and I'm loving the game. I only have Faith's section to do now. So far it's been worth every penny :)
 
New 400mb or so update just hit. Nothing major and apparently the Live Events reward, that is the Flame Bearer outfit has been removed - yet to properly confirm this.

Ok. Installed the patch.

Just tried launching the game and the small splash screen with the flag pops up, logs me in and then says 'Syncronizing your saved games with the cloud' then that screen vanishes and I get dumped into Uplay. I try clicking on the big blue 'Play' button and it does the same. Over and over. Have tried unticking the cloud sync feature and also tried playing in offline mode. No luck, same thing happens.

NOT HAPPY. :mad:
