I would really love some weather system in this game, the quest with owl got me super excited with that stormReally love the game, super happy with the purchase.
At least we got a nice snowy region. Some great shots, btw.

Yeah, I think there was something wrong with the capture at that moment, cause I didn't change any settings

This is one of those games where I start and it's 8 o'clock and what feels like an hour later turns out 4, and it's midnight. Fuck lol

I really love those random moments in the game... I see some badguys, try to sneak behind them to take them out quietly, then out of nowhere a deer is running out of the trees being chased by three wolves. One wolf goes after deer the other two go after those guys. I think fine, will kill whatever is left, then a fucking bear is coming like crazy and he joins the fight but he goes after wolves not the guys. So the wolves took the guys out, the bear beat the shit out of the wolves and I just killed the bear with a spear to the head lol Fucking love it
Yo, this game feels like what Fry Cry was always meant to be (at least since 2)
Everything that Ubi-soft threw into the pot in 3 and 4...here it finally feels like it belongs and that it gels with the game we are presented with. I literally spent the entire last two hours just hunting, gathering and doing little side missions.
Can't wait to play more.

Sat down with it for the first time tonight. Squeezed in an hour and became fully immersed. I definitely echo the recommendation of disabling the hud. What a beautiful landscape to run around and explore in.
Very impressed so far. I think it will be one of those games that has mediocre critical appeal but will hit home with a large subset of the farcry fan base.

Hey one nice thing. I think its still number 1 on the amazon sales lists.
FYI you can lead prey animals to cliffs and scare them to their death. Just an FYI

Just want to ask is there definitely no dodging/blocking/parrying in this game, or are these skills you have to unlock?
I usually play the silent archer type, but ran head on into a group of cannibals last night and had to fight them, couldn't figure out a way to block or dodge with my club, so all I could do were these awkward little jumps and running around a tree to avoid getting hit.
Other than that, first impression overall is great, only played for two hours though so time will tell.

I was only able to put in around 2-3 hours but my god is this game a breath of fresh air in comparison with the previous Far Cry titles or every other shooter at that matter.
It has its basic Far Cry formula with the scavenging and same animations but the atmosphere and the fact that dead is always lurking around the corner creates an entirely different game.

Damn this game looks good. I've turned off most of the HUD elements and just immersed myself in the world. I don't know why but I find it more compelling than previous Far Crys.

3 hours in and I'm having so much fun. Really suprised at how good it is.
Whoever suggested turning off the HUD earlier in the topic is a genius, it really increases the immersion. Just be sure to have directional sound so you can hear stuff sneaking up on you.
I'm playing the game on Xbox One and it's a beautiful game. You can really tell developers are becoming more skilled with the hardware at this point, the game looks noticeably better than Far Cry 4.

The quest structure is sooo good, I love how I find myself choosing whatever I want to do (and changing so often) but still having this feeling that I'm progressing towards something bigger. It's an open world after all, I don't want to have a huge playground to be told "go there, do that".
Great job, I can't wait to continue my journey !

Just a few more...
What the hell are you supposed to do with the Hunter's Cache stuff? It says to examine the cave painting (which I don't see) to find a rare resource nearby, but I have no idea where to go. In hunter vision there's a bloody handprint on the rock and a puddle of blood that seems to indicate I should climb up some vines, but after that nothing.
Halo 1 and 2 have no where near the visual fidelity and attention to detail this game has, I know Ubisoft is a huge developer, but the time and resources this team has to work with makes co-op, heck multiplayer of any kind alot to ask for, I'd love an expansion down the line but creating a solid single player experience was the aim, dialing everything back visually to shoehorn a co-op experience doesn't do anyone any favors.
This has one of the best game worlds I've experienced in a long, long time. The sheer scale of not just the size, but the verticality of everything is incredible. It's very, very rare that a world actually makes me feel small Ina game. But the size of these trees coupled with the dense vegetation have created one of the most immersive forest settings I've ever seen in a game.

Captured all of the enemy forts tonight, and completed the rest of the mega hunts. I'm gonna' take a break, because I've put 30 hours into it already.
I tried the Mammoth DLC, but didn't like it much.
Still have no idea of what the sixth mission is/was/or if I even got to do it. I assume I did, though, because nothing stands out as missing.

Started playing this last night, really awesome. So unique too - sure it uses the Triedandtrue Far Cry formula, but the time period is rarely explored in games. I must say its refreshing to not be running around a game like this with guns. The bow and spear are awesome. I love how you can ignite your weapons too.
I'm also very scared of wildlife, I was crossing a stone bridge and 2 bears started running from the other side... I ran back, started shooting fire arrows at them, then they began setting all the grass and trees on fire as they ran towards me, so crazy!
Loving the beast master stuff too, really awesome twist on the Far Cry gameplay. I have my wolf friend at the moment, hopefully going to get a bear tonight when I play some more.

Is there a pc performance thread for this?
Not yet, PC version is out a week later.

Ahh yeah of course. I forgot it was later on PC.
For every sarcastic douchpacker at least there is a nice person who gives a nice answer.
Thanks bro.
we have no idea ... no pc review codes were given and the week delay is kinda
alarming to me
... I am also afraid of it being first try with Uplay/Denuvo (Uplay/Denuvo/Steam) DRM combo ... i had quite a lot of issues running Denuvo-protected games in offline
and had similar issues with Uplay on some games...hope they dont fuck it up this time

judging by the screens in the thread, the game sure looks nice.
All those pictures really make it hard to resist buying. It seems to look great visually and i love the setting and atmosphere. Also, the world seems quite alive from the videos i've seen.
But deep down i know i'll get bored gameplay wise... the last Far Cry i played was 2 and i got bored with it and i never felt inclinded to buy another one. I'd buy and would just want to explore and play stealth all the time but i don't care about collecting things/keeping healthy/... and stuff like that usually associated with open world games.

Def a beauty!
Yes....sadly despite it's positives I'm selling my copy to my buddy because of the padding and collectathon. I'll check it out again later. Love the environments and gameplay though. Night hunting is amazing
I'm loving it already.

Only about an hour in so far, but the gameplay is great, and the graphics are beautiful. The world of Oros is so bright and vivid. And you truly feel vulnerable when walking around with nothing but your staff and bow and arrow. Ubisoft have done a brilliant job.
