Could always try disabling/disconnecting one of the GPU's to see if you're still getting crashes.

Yeah that's what I am going to try and see what happens, I really don't fancy the idea of buying a new GPU atm especially at the daft prices they are currently.

Here are some shots I took. Ubi team did a good job on the engine, assets and optimization. Shame the story and structure is so terrible, but still a fun game.

Imagine Fallout 4 with this engine.

I wonder how many people downloaded the pirated version last night

I'll be giving it a good blast tonight 43~GB Any tips before I start of stuff to do ?

I'm happy it runs at a constant 60 FPS on ultra at 1440p

I am on my second playthough but this time taking my time and trying to do all the side missions and the driving challenges though I have given up on the plane as I just cannot fly it. I have also discovered that the wingsuit does not handle as well as it did in Far Cry 4 when I had a bit of fun seeing how far I could fly and stuff as in this.

Epic! Makes me want to play FC4 again

Out of boredom earlier, I decided to undertake the Fishing challenge and beat all the regional records. Now I have an uber fishing rod and nothing to do with it

Yes, I found the wingsuit on FC4 epic and it popped up saying that I'd beaten player XXXXX and got a new record run at one time starting from a helicopter at maximum height, tapping the back button whilst flying seemed to make a huge difference as I recall

What I found annoying was where I was jumping from was nowhere near a save point so it was a right pain to get myself back up to the high point. There was a tall building I was trying to pas right though but position had to be spot on or instant death.
Might go back one day, the wing-suit in FC5 is not nearly so controllable.

This game is stunning looking Could just spend hours wondering around admiring the scenery.

Finally got it huh....fancy some online co-op?

matt_fsr · 17 Apr 2018 at 21:15

Fantastic looking game, but... can anyone explain to me why it's worth £50?

I just can't see it myself, they seem to have taken the FarCry franchise the same way as COD has gone - similar gameplay and situations, and nothing really new or exciting as far as I can tell

You actually think he paid for it - c'mon 1Tap, you should know better.

Turkey was too powerful.

Live event 2 finished in 10mins. It's a roadkill event where you can kill cultists or animals with a vehicle. Since the former doesn't exist in my game, I just drove around killing cows and bullts. You get a lovely reskinned ATV for the prize :/

These 'events' are so dull and uninspired but its something to do post game completion.

Anyone else notice the political garbage? The little hints and jibes got me rolling my eyes a bit, I play games to get away from the real world, and the ending was just pointless and unsatisfactory.

It did surprise me so they get points for that I guess.

Paul_cz said:
The game itself is fun though. Significantly better than FC4 and Blood Dragon. Montana setting saved the day.

But why does Ubisoft STILL insist on stuffing their games with pointless collectible BS? This game is extreme, there is not one collectible, or two, but SIX (to my count) different collectibles, each with 10 or so pieces to find, then there are so many boring busywork quests “destroy X amount of Y”…

I appreciate that they did try to improve some things but all this stuff is so…I hate to say it…lazy.

“But it is optional!”

No, boring busywork nonsense should not be in games regardless of its optionality.

Blood Dragon was amazing

But yea too many pointless side filler missions.

jasonsony735 · 18 Apr 2018 at 09:27

If you want a game that is enjoyable then Far Cry 5 will 100% do that, it does have its issues like the AI is terrible in parts! But there is always so much going on and you don't really ever stop fighting , Its cool that they have added pets to the game that will help you on your adventure I really like that part. only 6 hours in but really enjoying it.

Could not get into this, maybe I should give it another try.
