Has there been any talk of how long this one is? I know it's a full game.

Honest question, why do people ask questions like this, especially when there are frequent threads about the game, with tons of people saying they are looking forward to it ?
I mean seriously, do you think just because you're not interested in a game that no one else is either ?
The fact that there are threads about the game every other day should answer your question.
I am a fan of the series and think it looks like the most interesting one yet by a long shot. I am really surprised that it is not getting more attention, considering the changes and setting.

100% complete while walking, 100% complete while running, always using a spear and nothing else, every single upgrade complete, just story without sides, story with some sides, story with most sides?
Length discussions are thankfully starting to go the way of the dodo though I understand why people ask.
I can't answer it but I can say its a full game in this style if that gives you some ideas.
I had someone tell me I was rushing the last Far Cry because I ran from one area down to a truck like my job was supposed to walk every...place...I went. LOL.
Thanks!

Yeah, that's true. I just like to have a ballpark figure.
I never used to care so much, but it's harder to find time to game and I don't have forever with each game. Far Cry is one of my all-time favourites, though.
yeah.. title of the video made me think of that thawing scene in Encino Man

Game looks like fun but i'll be buying this sometime in the summer. I honestly never understood the Ubisoft hate, they make some great games.

Was gonna wait to buy this as I'm still working on tomb raider, but I want to support this as it does seem to lack the hype of 3+4. Also that no-hue preview was amazing, along with seeing how much effort the team put into research has me sold. Day one

You mean this in a good way right?
I watched your footage already (subscribed to your channel) and the no hud nighttime footage in particular seemed to have a lot of atmosphere and looked great visually, hence my comment. Not sure if i would like the game but i'd love to just explore the world. Is there dynamic weather?

So I was pretty cold on this game, I'm honestly into Far Cry for the outpost stuff mostly, I'm not as into the hunting and other things.
But I did catch it in a recent Jontron video.
Man, that's a pretty game with an interesting premise to me. Might just give it a go now.

^I'll check that JonTron video out. I hope they made the melee combat more visceral or something. Just seemed like it lacked much impact.
I'm more interested in Primal than any other FC minus Blood Dragon which was great and the only one I've played to completion. I'll likely grab Primal some time. Maybe even at launch.

Some of the best games of all time have been created by expanding upon a core concept or gameplay mechanic and perfecting it. For example:
Mass Effect 2 and 3
Uncharted 2, 3 and hopefully 4
Rise of the tomb raider
Assassin's creed 2 and brotherhood
Half Life 2
Elder Scrolls Series
You can go on and on with this list. Generally with gaming, its the sequels that establish the best of the bunch. Far cry primal is a sequel that is a much bigger jump in change than Far cry 4 was while keeping the core concept that worked so well in Far Cry 3 in tact.

Ron Perlman simulator, lmao.
But seriously, I imagine it's a bit different than jeeps full of guys with assault rifles and grenades barrelling around every corner. "There he is!"
*scratches head* Can you elaborate? This was a little too inside baseball for me.
It's weird because it seems very interesting but I just don't give two shits at the moment about this game. I think I've been burnt out on the FC series, I didn't even play FC4.

Little hype for a good sequel would be my guess.
Indeed. The most different (and most interesting for me) one yet and it has the least amount of hype.
If you are trying to say ubisoft is the same of the pop, BG&E or splinter cell era, well, it's not from awhile.
Depends on who you ask. They never stopped making great games for many of us.
Like?
The only misstep for AC was 3 and for most Unity. Other than that, it has always been solid. Far Cry has also been consistent and became even more popular after 3. They also proved they can still make a great Splinter Cell with Blacklist.
Now, most recently people seem to be loving Rainbow Six Siege. Primal looks to be the most unique Far Cry yet and The Division is about to release and looks like it could be huge.
The future? AC is getting a break and an apparent reset, Ghost Recon Wildlands looks amazing, as does For Honor. Not to mention the potential for Watch Dogs 2 to realize more of it's potential as a series. I'd say they are doing pretty good.

I wonder how much of that has to do with the lack of guns.
I have thought about that myself and think it is probably a big factor for most. But for me it is one of the strong points.

At least they're having fun.
Would buy, lol. In all seriousness, the future mixed with the primitive is making for one of the best looking games I have ever seen in Horizon on PS4.
What was so much better about Ubisoft in that "era", exactly? They were still being accused of milking their franchises back then too.
More recent than that era, I've personally had a lot of fun with FC: Blood Dragon, AC:Black Flag, Rayman Legends, FC4, Grow Home, and that's just for my tastes. Looking forward to FC Primal, Trackmania for consoles finally, For Honor, that open world Ghost Recon game, etc.
From the previews I've seen, looks like something you learn to craft very early on - within the first hour probably.

It's extremely early on.

If it's good, I'm interested in it. Not going to pre-order it, but I'm generally not interested in Far Cry games. If I end up buying it, I'll only own Blood Dragon and Primal.
Also, I generally avoid Ubisoft open-world games.
