Just canceled preorder. Even if I got it dirt cheap through Origin, I still don't want to give them my money unless they show a good port.

This feels..... bad.
It makes me.... perhaps sad.

The chance of me pre-ordering let alone buying a Ubisoft game is slim to none but that doesn't give me confidence in Far Cry 4 for PC.
Oh give me a break. There are plenty of people enjoying AC:U warts and all. So far reviews of the console version of FC4 have outpaced AC:U, which I assume will translate into plenty of people enjoying FC4.
GAF is not, and never will be, the gaming community at large (no matter how many people want it to be).
Gotta catch 'em all.
Far Cry 3 PC wasn't handled by Ubi Kiev. The studio's most recent effort is the PC port of Unity, which isn't anything to gloat about.
You can still cancel your pre-order and wait until we get reports on how the game runs.

Far Cry 3 was done at the studio who made FC3, this PC version is being done by Kiev, who are well know for their incredibly unoptimized PC ports of other ubi games, including the recently released ACunity.
expect it to be rough.
Montreal handled the PC version of that.

Like other people have said in this thread before. Dunia was always great on PC and Anvil was always terrible on PC, no matter who actually worked on it.

I've been waiting to see this show up in a thread. Still hilarious.
I agree with the essence of what you're saying, but it still really sucks that this port won't get the treatment it deserves.

Hmmm, I was gonna get this on PS4. I played FC3 on PC and it ran well, but I heard this has higher system requirements.
Hearing this solidifies it.

That doesn't make sense that they would let the main dev team handle it on the previous game but then hand it off for this one. Unless it's due to the console split of both gens being "to much to handle" like Bungie claimed.
Oh well, makes me glad I was planning to wait it out for a bit like k did with 3.

This includes cashing in on your GPU codes.
Honestly it's just a (needlessly) antagonistic comment to gamers who like the franchise period, and are willing to put up with a less than ideal initial experience.
lol
PC gamers shouldn't be playing this garbage anyway. console gamers shouldn't either but for some reason they love bad games
I've perused through the thread. Unity is even worse than AssCreed 3 was at launch (the first "AnvilNext" game). That's not to say FC4 is destined to be a bad port, but the concern is hardly unfounded.

L.O.L.
That's exactly what I'm saying... The engine used for next gen AC games is terrible on PC. The engine used for FC3 and FC4 is great on PC.
really though what other option is there? they aren't going to add games to the list of choices.... I didn't really have any interest in The Crew, so....... yeah.

If this turns out to be true, what a crazy turnaround from last gen, where Farcry 3 ran like shit on consoles and was amazing on PC.
Hey that rhymes! New ad slogan.
I'm emphasising that AnvilNext went backwards compared to its debut -- which can be considered comparable to Unity sporting a significant overhaul of the engine -- despite the narrower platform scope. An engine is only part of the equation, after all, which is partly why the mention of Ubi Kiev has been met with cynicism (it's not as though every, say, UE3 game runs like a dream just because they share a common foundation).

Eh, I suspect it'll be decent. There might be some bugs but it should probably run well enough.
Unlike AC Unity, where all versions are broken, the console version of Far Cry 4 (at least PS4 and XO) are rock solid. Surely the stability from the main build will trickle down to the PC version. Unity's problems go much deeper than the PC port.
