Far Cry 4

Seems decently big from what I have seen, it's really a disappointment the graphics. Also bit ****ty game play(I hate the mouse movement, but thats all farcrys) and literally you can shoot guys 5/6 times and they just shrug it off.
Think I found your problem. You are playing iitmon PC.

In two minds if I should get this. I want Witcher 3 [-]birthdays[/-] but that's another 3 or 4 months.

So how's it going with the game everyone? ... from what I've read on some other forums, people are major pi$$ed at all the glitches, but apparently there's a large patch being released soon?

What is it with Ubisoft and their latest releases so far? AC UNity, now Far Cry 4 :whistle:

I rate give FC4 a miss for a couple of months....better polish and much cheaper. I do that with all games except MP games...obviously there you need to be on the (bleeding) edge.

uPlay is garbage and therefore I do not buy Ubisoft games any more.
Yeah it really is a new level of crap. Not quite GFWL level but close.

I'm loving the hell out of FC4. Gorgeous mountainous backdrop and same great gameplay from FC3.

I haven't had problems killing hostiles. Perhaps you should upgrade your weapons, or get a bit closer before opening fire.

I have the mouse sensitivity on max and it's fine. Don't know why the game has such slow movement by default.

The graphics are excellent. Are you running the game on ultra? I spend a decent portion of my game time just marvelling at the visuals.

Uplay is indeed the worst piece of software ever created. Unfortunately, I'm not prepared to miss out on Far Cry and Rayman games. Splinter Cell Blacklist was also awesome and I'd definitely buy a sequel.

Don't forget that Ubisoft games bought on Steam download and update through Steam, have community hubs as usual and are only subject to a lightweight Uplay intrusion when playing the games.

PC is the leading FC4 platform. Awesome graphics, mods and the map editor are only going to happen on PC.

I haven't had any lingering technical issues in FC4 on PC. There was major screen tearing in the opening cutscene, but V-sync fixed that. Absolutely no issues after, and framerate is good with settings on ultra.
 
Also no probs here. Shooting people just fine.

Graphics very nice and the 'map' is superb.
 
Picked up some bugs while playing Co-op. Sometimes I see things ingame that my partner doesn't see. Some bugs with the marking locations on the map, also in co-op mode. Nothing game breaking really.

Only problem imo is that you can't co-op story missions. Just side quests.
 
How can you say graphics are so so... O_o ???

Sure you are not running it on 640 x 480? I don't get people, some just like to piss on everything every live long day for no reason. But hey, opinions right.
 
The graphics are definitely some of the best I've seen. I've got everything ramped up to ultra and I'm getting around 35-110 FPS. It definitely looks better than FC3. The map is huge, just the part visible in the beginning is quite vast and that's only around 5% of the entire map. Of course, it isn't The Elder Scrolls big, but it has a lot to it. The aiming felt really crap until I at least tripled the sensitivity.

Did anyone else notice that the intro before you get to the main menu renders at over 3,000 FPS? That's not a typo. Three. THOUSAND. FPS. For an intro.
 
Im on the fence.I loved FC3 dlc Dragon something, I didnt finish FC3 main story because i lost interest.I think im going to give this a skip.Watching videos last night there is not much different to FC3, just better graphics.

Well its not actually rendering the game, its just a "video", download gputest and select the triangle test, check out those FPS.

I don't think it's video. Video has a set framerate (eg watch a video with Fraps running and you'll see it sit solidly at 25). I'm talking about the animation where the elephant and lion jump up towards each other.

Find me that video on the web, and ill tell you.

Eh? Video files have a set framerate, videos aren't rendered at whatever speed your graphics card can manage. If you mean the intro I'm talking about, watch the first six seconds of this:

My graphics card sits at 100 % usage rendering that out at over 3,000 FPS :D
 
I had big trouble trying to install this, including the 'black screen freezes'.

At first I figure out black screen crash is related to devices (like usb/screen), when second monitor was plugged out I was fine.
Till I realised the new heat sink on my gfx card was not on properly. After I changed that I got massive performance out of the game (and now I can plug my second monitor back in without issue).

Mouse lag is related to your graphics settings (and also check what usb port your mouse is on).
If your graphics is running too slowly then it will slow down the mouse response.... But...

I'm running on ultra right now and getting about 20fps but without any mouse lag.
Aiming/shooting is easy like in any fps.

The game looks lots better than far cry 3, seems exciting, and using an elephant to drive with is easier than a car :-D

I might just buy this game.
