Far Cry 5

75 seems like decent money for the game, season pass and Far Cry 3

gimli2112 · 27-03-2018 07:18AM

Was €90 digitally in the store. I didn't get that one but the deluxe version which gave some extra DLC for not much more than the standard game.

Picked mine up there from Smyths. Long day of work ahead. Anyone know if the Day One patch size is big. Have crappy wifi so hoping its small so I can get a few hours in tonight.

GavRedKing · 27-03-2018 09:40AM

I'm close enough to Smyths that I can get there on lunch, get home and fire it up to allow it to download while im in work for the afternoon.

Any idea what patch size this is out of the box?

I've read 800mb online but cant be sure. Doing the same, picked it up from Smyths this morning so planning on dropping it home at lunch. Hopefully patch not too big.

patch is 665mb on Xbox. Imagine PS4 is the same or similar.

It would be cool if you could download game updates in advance of getting the disc.

The Specialist · 27-03-2018 10:32AM

Only 6 hours work and a 38GB download standing between me and Far Cry now

Gonna be a long day!

Watched that last night. Matched my concerns and hopes pretty evenly.
Absolutely no reason to Day 1 this when the complete edition (including DLC released by that stage) will be €22.99 in 4-6 months
If a person can finish the game and only have 1/4 of the guns unlocked, that does not sound like "microtransactions done right" to me.
This has all the signs of a runaway hype train, Ubisoft are no saints.
I hope those of you who did pick it up enjoy it and find it value for money, but I'm gonna wait to see how this plays out

gimli2112 · 27-03-2018 11:07AM

Your post makes a lot of sense but I'm totally caught up in the hype so I'm currently feeling no regret over the extravagant price I've paid. I didn't even need to buy it as I have plenty on the go at present.
Credit cards and alcohol make these kind of things an easy purchase.
I've seen arguments both ways over the microtransactions here but I can't make piece with it and think it's a lousy system.

Just installed mine there patch about 800mb on ps4

CraigM84 · 27-03-2018 11:23AM

Best part for me so far is the fishing!! Though I've only got off the first island bit, game looks great, some nice details in it

Kiith · 27-03-2018 11:25AM

No discussion on how to bypass regional restrictons folks. That includes using VPN's to activate a game early.

Kiith · 27-03-2018 11:26AM

I think i'll hold off buying this for a while, as i fancied a replay of 3 and maybe give 4 or primal a go. No rush to get to it just yet.

Damo 2k9 · 27-03-2018 11:26AM

Whats this running like on PC folks?? I can either pick it up in smyths on the way home or else get it on PC. i5 3570 with a GTX 960 (dont laugh..) doesnt even match the min requirements for 60fps high settings.

Playing on ultra at 1080 and getting 100+ fps, details are nice, gameplay is smooth, only trouble I had was the 360 controller didn't work but kb and mouse still probably better. Running on i7 4770k with 1070ti, nothing is clocked, uses very little resources, think was topped out at 3 gig vram used, was a tough decision to go to bed last night, and then again this morning going to work...

Installing now, some amount of weapons and vehicles thrown at you with the deluxe pack, compound bow is all I'll need though.... And a nice muscle car

Just note that all these items don't become available until you've liberated the first area

Jerichoholic · 27-03-2018 12:32PM

Of course mine didn't arrive yet. How is it compared to the others?

GavRedKing · 27-03-2018 01:06PM

Just got through the first few cut scenes there and I'm already hooked.

Cant wait to get into this tonight.

gimli2112 · 27-03-2018 01:09PM

I just played the first cut scene this morning and it really set the tone very well. Already feel more invested than 4.

Grayditch · 27-03-2018 01:26PM

Eugh, not even a mail from Parcel Motel yet. I made a bags of this one.

27-03-2018 02:54PM

Enjoyed the hell out of that opening sequence.

Wonda-Boy · 27-03-2018 03:32PM

Yep, many hrs will be sunk into this. Looks incredible aswell in 4K.

Zero-Cool · 27-03-2018 03:40PM

Opening done, exploring the first island, incredible start. Found a compound bow and already feel like a ninja assassin.

Those issues/bugs are what I expect from a Ubisoft game at launch. A few patches down the road and it should be all sorted.

Creative83 · 27-03-2018 03:59PM

Just downloading now. Can't wait for this

Got that too but at the expense of the rifle , assume it'll allow you to carry both at some point later.

I saw the perks list has a perk allowing you to carry more weapons, up to 4 I think it was. Will be going for them quick enough to suit my bow, pistol, AR and Sniper Rifle loadout.

Also, thread title looks much nicer now
