How's all my neogaf friends enjoying this surprise hit? Finally got my review up. http://www.ztgd.com/far-cry-primal/review/ rated it a 9 and already relected on metacritic. Games too fun and we need more bold and unique titles such as this for more games!
lol just had a holy shit moment for something so silly haha.
Enable Primal view. Look at some animals. Pause. Now look at the cave paintings.
Don't know why I found that so cool because it was like hold on a minute.... Oh coooool. Haha.
I'm enjoying it so far. Nice and pretty. Still very early on. I'll take my time with it. Nothing else really to play atm

I really hope that was just a description and not like a hint that his opinion matters.

It matters more than yours since I can see him actually playing the game he's talking about.
You bastard. You pushed me over the edge. I really want to play with those spears. Bought.

Such a beautiful review. Pushed me too. I like how in depth the sound review was.
Starting the game in an hour or so woop!
Always like a no gun game.
And add headphones to that... oh my

So I'm early in the game and I rescued a couple people for my village and all of a sudden a couple hyenas or something appear out of nowhere and kill them! Those little bastards!!

Woo. Night hit, and as I turned around, I see a set of glowing eyes staring at me from on top of a rock in the distance. Coupled with the music that was playing, it gave me the willies.
This is what ultimately sold the game to me. If Ubi had said "we have a Dying Light esque day/night cycle" I would have been on this thing day one.

My job is done here. I am actually starting up a kickstarter for crafting Primal Spears lol. JK
Brother I had hunted and killed my Wild Rhino across half the damn land and a croc stole him lol
Are the spears a melee weapon as well? Or can you only throw them?
Karak
Member
Shit everything I craft will be throwable lol.
I am surprised the game doesn't have the ability to toss the bow at someones face Hawkeye style
A picture of my new primal spears
Urge to purchase rising.

Omg the intro and first mission are awesome
I have to say I actually may have said like "holy shit" or something the moment you start moving and get your spear. I mean...that is insane looking right there

There's a nice touch when you pause the game. Your current screen becomes a mural on a cave painting.

Is it just me or this game has a different lighting than FarCry 4? It looks more like AC Unity lighting engine than previous FarCry games.

The lighting does look better.
How big is the day one patch?

I think I posted this already earlier here but it does have an optimized renderer with some parts completely rewritten as well as adjustments to some of the post processing. Not enough to call it a .5 update but the joke was that it was a .45 to the engine

Yeah, whatever they did it looks really nice, much better than FC4.
taken from gamespot...
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/far-cry-primal-day-one-patch-adds-expert-mode-and-/1100-6435036/
It looks like they improved lighting with the patch, good job.
I'm waiting for the PC version like a fair few other people it seems. I almost want to double-dip reading the great impressions from everyone, but it's only another week away...
It's also moved up to second spot on the Steam 'Top Sellers' list.
Decent.....but 4 hours in and I'm already burned by all the shit that constantly pops up for me to do.....looks like I'll have to play this in small bursts or the ubi burn is going to get me. Sucks too because this has been my favorite far cry experience to date. No guns makes this such a great game to explore and treasure.
Also light your arrow on fire and shoot it into a huge patch of brush and start small forest fires that go up the trees. Pretty cool
I found out the hard way setting a bear on fire and having it chase me while it set the entire fucking forest aflame lol

I'm really enjoying hard and it seems fair so far but really really chalangeing exspecially Bears :O
The single best visual improvement to the engine is the increased foliage density and draw distance. That coupled with the improved lighting make the environments feel so much more natural than any other FC. That said it still feels like more of a minor engine upgrade when compared to something like the jump AC saw. I look forward to seeing what they are able to pull off with the next mainline game that will likely see some major upgrades.

Ya with the myriad changes occuring in the difficulty levels there is a lot you can play with plus bits on or off in the hud. It can feel totally different played in particular ways.
And type. That was one of the big improvements where they were able to get more types in the same footage resulting in far more organic looking playing spaces.

Does this scratch the predator itch that I developed from crysis?

when they do those set discounts on games like that they usually disable using vouchers with them...so you'll have to pay whatever the price is and that's it
but if you click VIP at the top row (when you're logged in) you'll see the game is $35.99 if you click Pre-purchase from that page

Yea take it slow then. I've honestly yet to tire from it. I'm either in the midst of a crazy hunt, doing story, exploring a cave, taming animals, looking for craft material, night hunts... my oh my.
Sorry if any of these questions were already answered, avoiding reading most of the thread.
1. Do we know the differences in the difficulty options? Weird that it goes to expert, wondering if there is a non standard change there.
2. HUD options, is there anything I should keep on? What are others going with?
It was surprising that the game is less than 13gigs installed. Turning off gathering animations off is nice, so is just holding the button down to gather all nearby stuff by just walking up to it all.
Also, this is the first FPS I've played in quite awhile where it feels like your character is really short, camera feels to close to the ground.

Ya I can't stress this enough turn off the minimap. Usually I'm a heavy advocate of minimaps but in this game it's amazing with out one. I still use the health bar tho because I like to see my health

Thanks. I'm glad it's not too big.
There's still some stuff I need to do.
There's an overwhelming amount of stuff to do and it is easy to get distracted. I got a bit fatigued from all of the hunting and gathering, but I played in long sessions.
I still think it's a really good game, though.

I belive the white ones are claimed and the black ones are not.

Hmmm...so it seems that
is an Easter Egg and isn't tied to the sixth mission in your journey. My game must have glitched, and that's why my list is incomplete even though I've completed the game.
I want to do the final two exotic hunts tonight, and also try to clean out all of the outposts.
