Most games I'm like "yeah let's do this" but when a pack of jaguars can fuck me up I'm minutes, seeing a mammoth or two is just scary.

I almost wrote off this game but the more I see the more interested I get. I tried the previous Far Cry game and it lost me pretty early on. I may get on the band wagon.

Ya reviews come out soonish. Just see what they say. The one nice thing is this month isn't lean for game releases.

That interest is probably more then enough to get enjoyment out of it.
LOL, based on what I have seen they go ape shit and run you down like a train if you piss them off.

I'm kind of hoping your character finds some guns later on and you discover the setting is a "The Land that Time Forgot" situation where you have to chase off the outsiders as this Rambo Caveman. Outside of some ridiculous bullshit like that, I am not interested.

I'm curious about this too. Far Cry 3 had a great weather system that they completely removed from Far Cry 4. There was only Night and Day cycle. It was a bummer after seeing so many great storms on Far Cry 3.

Looks really nice. It does however clearly reuse things from FC4. The climbing and swinging with the grapple. Special moves like stabbing one dude and throwing a knife into the other dude is pretty much the same. But it IS called Far Cry, so there's that. I don't mind these things, as long as there's plenty new stuff too.
The pets look awesome and riding them seems like a lot of fun. Right now i am torn between playing like Karak plays, on hard difficulty and no HUD. I like a good challenge and what he describes what hard difficulty is like in Primal sounds really good to me. But at the same time i don't want it to ruin the fun, and he did say that sometimes it can be a bit too much,..especially in the beginning.
Then there's the HUD. I really like the idea of not knowing where the enemy is, both human and animals. I remember in FC4 that i would always know if a enemy was nearby and that was fine, but for Primal and its game world not knowing might actually be better this time around. I am sure though some animals are going to be really annoying. But what i'll really need to get used to is not using the minimap anymore and like Karak shows in the video, if you wanna see where you're going, you need to go into the map screen. I'm just going to disable it all from the start and see if i can truly enjoy it.

IF you get it do this.
Play it for 2 hours with the full hud. Get accustomed to movement and understanding what looks like what. Then turn off 1/4th of the options at a time leaving the minimap last.
I BET it will work
Also dont ignore difficulty it completely adjusts the game when combined with the hud changes. Well even without them actually.

I'm so glad many people are now changing their minds about this game. I loved Farcry 4 and I reckon I'm going to love this more.

Well this video actually made me interested. Good marketing job Ubi.
The PS4 literally has a screenshot button on the controller.
Only mission specific? I hope not, dynamic weather was a huge omission in FC4 and it would be stupid to not include it again.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
Disappointing. Not sure why they took a step backwards in regards to weather.
It does have an amazing snowy region, where even your tamed animal has snow accumulate on their fur. You have to craft the proper clothing or freeze to death as well.

There is a very light dynamic weather going on with shader effects but its done over the top of a static system that makes the large changes depending on locations so it can be very hard to even notice and seems to have few changes even then. You have 4 sections in the game world
South tropical, forest, tundra, true northern reaches, each somewhat adjusts its weather but not to the tune of true dynamics.
It does feel less dynamic than I would like but not near the hilariously bad dynamic weather of the early Farcry titles. Its very odd but not like the gods of thunder and sun battling every seven seconds like those games.
That being said some of the best weather effects in a game exist in the Northern Reaches even if they aren't dynamic. But sadly no large thunderstorms and stuff excerpt as said in missions.

i have the game since saturday and i just have to say WOW
technically absolutely amazing, no laggs, no bugs until now, graphics are awesome
and it's fun as hell, the perfect mix between already known mechanics from FC 3+4 and a few new ones like beast taming and stronger focus on Crafting
the open world is also pretty interesting, very many things to discover from maze caves to treasures throughout the world, very cool

How is the melee combat? It looked pretty bad based on videos.

Sorry don't know what you want to know. There is a day night cycle, the nights are pretty short though
if you battle more than 1 enemy i have to admit its pretty tough and annoying, but i use the bow very much so there aren't many close combats i have problems with ^^
the rest is my Jaguars Job

I don't understand... Why does the game need guns for you to be interested in it?

The 7800 series is around a few years old now and VRAM tops out at 2GB. I'd go with the PS4 version.

I have now been reviewing for hmm 3 years I guess and this is the first time I have seen such utter vile and filth aimed at a title. I mean f*cking vile. Even my lets plays have absolutely been filled.
Even the lets plays and previews I did of games with a higher controversial meter than this one were NOTHING like this. Its like all humanity swore to remove their braincells, good manners, and dedication to appearing above a starfish in mentality prior to posting.
