This shit is so exhilarating at night. Anytime I hear my character whistle to send my Pet to attack I get a hard on

TotalBiscuit plays the PC-version (different from his Twitch stream):

I mean, it is a Ubisoft Game (TM) with all of the inherent design decisions for their games. Primal hides it better than most but if you're not interested in the setting there's nothing really for you here.

I love throwing a bee bomb at night and hearing the blood curdling screams.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
There are a few that are helpful in the beginning, but as you learn the game, you can dial them down.
The gather updates I still keep on. And health gauge is good in the beginning. Interaction icons, I eventually turned off, but it was after i'd played 10 or so hours.
Gamersyde review copy says fluid PC performance.

Yep. RPS said their initial review code performance was bad but after a patch it was fine.

"Holy shit a HUGE cave bear just killed my lion and is coming at me"
*lights arrow on fire and shoots it at bear*
"That should take of things"
*Plot twist - cave bears don't fear fire, so now this huge burning beast is coming at me, literally burning everything in its wake. I run like fuck while half the forest burns down*
I grappled up a cliff, but that was fucking crazy. I also underestimated fire propagation, the forest burns like crazy.

Not impressed with the hardware scaling on either side. Not the best visuals to performance ratio ever seen that's for sure. The game does not look anything truly special to warrant those requirements.

looks like the PC version is a Midnight Eastern (9 PM Pacific) unlock now
I had the same thing happen, but it was a super pissed off flaming mammoth. I thought I was safe up on a cliff. It found a way up.
I also set an eagle on fire, but that was just funny.

Wait, there's realistic battle damage? That was one of my favorite little details in AC: Syndicate, enemies actually getting bruised, bloody and swollen in fights. It would be awesome if it returned in future Ubisoft games.

I've suddenly come to enjoy throwing clubs at people. The thud sound they make is pretty satisfying.
46fps for a 970 at 1080p. Not bad really since there's probably 2 or 3 taxing options you can tone down to get the 60fps goal.

Ready to dig in after work tommorow for a bit on the PC version... Gonna have a great long weekend gaming session to really dig into the world...
Cant wait to see my 980 in action in this open world, as most have stated the world is full of great atmosphere, looking forward to the change of this Far Cry Scenery, need many more games from this era...

Looking forward to jumping into this tonight once it unlocks. I'm excited to see it at 60fps. Sounds like you all had a pretty good time with it.
I hope there is a hud toggle, or at least someone mods it in. I hate having to menu dive to find out where I need to go, but I also hate having HUD icons all the time on my screen.

does this unlock 11pm CST tonight?
How the hell do you kill the heavies? Just one of them took out my cave bear AND my saber tooth and took down almost my whole health bar in one hit. Meanwhile, I'm beating him with a fully upgraded two-handed club and it does nothing.
I actually managed to off two of them by hitting them with those berserk shards so they killed each other. Only time I've wished I had the AMR sniper from 3 and 4.

They're tough. I usually keep my distance and throw flaming clubs and spears at them, then run up to collect them again. Rinse, repeat. Don't fight those dudes up close. It takes a while, but they go down eventually.
I'll try that. I did wait until dark and kill one by burning his hut down with him in it.
Traps one shot them if you can be bothered to lay them down.
Steam says unlock in approximately 1 hour, so yes.
Hope UPlay unlocks at the same time.

i get banned for making fun of kotaku and this jr does a drive by shit post by complaining that an open world ubisoft game is open world
There are an impressive amount of options for customizing the individual elements of the HUD. I think you'll be pleased.
A post that expresses an opinion contrary to the majority is not by itself a shitpost. Perhaps if you'd explained why it was "good" that Bethesda and Ubi decided to blacklist Kotaku, you wouldn't have been banned. That's the key difference at play here -- sure, you could infer from his post that his opinion is "this game is bad", but he at least made some effort to delineate why he feels that way.

even if the formula is a little tired, the game looks gorgeous.
OTs aren't echo chambers or bastions of positivity. The post was completely reasonable.

Really? LOL Well at least I'm not in the minority praising the game.
Again,when it was announced it sounded like a neat premise and I didn't really keep an eye on the project or view many trailers but figured I'd check out down the road. Then I clicked in the OT to see how it turned out and the feedback and screenshots took me aback and so the game was actually on my mind for a few days that I couldn't shake until I gave in and bought it. And I'm really fucking glad I did.
My only real reluctance was that Far Cry 4 went on sale what seemed like a dozen times and I didn't wanna drop 60 bones only for it to be half price by the end of the year but then I figured, shit thats a ton of time I can invest in the game and then move on and come back to it before then and really this thing shines AAA production through and through and deserves all the support.
You already know the answer then. I skipped the majority of the Assassin Creed games because I had zero interest in Early America, the French Revolution or Renaissance period but when they tried something different with Black Flag I was all aboard and its my favorite AC game.
Yes. The Steam version has unlocked (restart the client if it insists otherwise).
