Sorry, guy.
I'm rollin' mostly digital these days. I can't seem to find indication if I get the Harpoon and whatnot if I buy it off the PSN store via preorder. (for PS4).

Anyone know?

I just hope it's not going to be the AC 3 or judging from reviews so far, Unity of the Far Cry series instead.

The wording lead me to believe there were FC4 reviews out that were Unity like.

Any word on how the 360/PS3 versions run compared to their beefier next gen versions? I really don't have the money to justify getting a PS4 anytime soon, but if this game is just completely neutered on the last gen consoles I may have to give it a miss, which is a shame because I goddamn loved Far Cry 3. :(

e: I am totally fine with that.

It probably runs almost exactly like Far Cry 3 did on those consoles.

The other option is he gets to live, leaving with his girlfriend, brother, and friends, and Citra dies instead.

The real ending is Jason dies when Vaas boots him down into the drink and the whole thing is just a hallucinated frat boy power fantasy as his brain is deprived of oxygen.

You then play as Vaas.

Didn't one of the writers say something about being really proud of a twist involving his pink suit? It's probably dyed with the blood of his enemies or something.

If there's a "twist" it almost certainly has to do with the spirit world or something like that, maybe he's a literal demon (based on looking at the design in the suit from the op).

Did anyone else get a preorder for Far Cry 4 with a video card purchase?

I punched in the code to UPlay, it was accepted, but in UPlay Far Cry 4 doesn't show up under my Games list. I know it isn't out yet, but I assume it would still be listed under my games.

Did anyone else have this issue or should I contact UPlay support?

I dont think games show up there until they are ready to be played. As in after install. I might be wrong though.

Edit: I remember having trouble getting blood dragon to show up until I started blood dragon some other way (I didnt launch at the end of install) and signed in. Or some such bullshit.

I seem to recall that when I bought a FC3 key off of somebody as a reward for buying a GPU, I didn't have it show up until I installed the game, and Uplay wouldn't preload poo poo like Steam does, so it was basically last-minute.

People complained about Far Cry 2's buddies and story NPCs being weird android cardboard people who talked really really really fast, but then FC3 went the opposite direction and made every friendly character really annoying (possibly on purpose.) Vaas was the only interesting person in the game. I wonder if the happy medium between those two even exists.

On the topic of Ubisoft hand-holding, Ziggy's Mod for FC3 made the game for me. Replaces the minimap with a simple compass, removes the wallhack spotting system, unlocks the wingsuit from the start along with all the story-locked skills. Also removed the animal symbols on the pause menu map and upped the crafting requirements so it was actually a challenge to hunt down and collect materials. It honestly felt like it was the way the game was always supposed to be, but wasn't because they had to dumb it down.

Thought I'd try out Ziggys.


God drat It's a whole new game, I'm exploring and having adventures and poo poo rather than just using the map and icons to go point to fetch-quest point.
