Questions about Far Cry 4

[gluconolactone]

Considering buying that game...

1) How well would you rate it out of 10?

2) Is uPlay really that bad?

3) Is it heavily CPU dependent? Since benchmarks show an R7 265 doing quite well on it but not exactly sure about my i3-4130. (Basically how well would an i3-4130 + R7 265 do?)

I have only played in PS3, which probably is not the best experience available. However I can tell you that it is a great game, I would rate it with an 8/10. A lot of fun and many hours worth of content. Uplay really IS that bad... I personally didn't really enjoy the online.

Also, are the performance problems fixed? I remember there were some problems at launch when TB covered it.

1) 8.5/10. Loads of fun, a great many hours can be sunk into it imho.

2) Works fine for me, it's just incredibly annoying to be forced to use it. Then again, I only have 2 or 3 games on there, so I don't really "use" it.

3) No idea, I'm not the right person to answer that.

Yup this, its a good game and lots of fun!

The performance issues are fine for me running 290x's so if you are running Nvidia I would say it would be better still.

Far Cry 4 doesn't "officially" run on dual core processors. I know there are workarounds available, but I don't know how reliable they are.

 

If you can get it to start, I'd imagine your overall experience is going to be pleasant with low to medium settings.

 

In the mean time, you can also look into Far Cry 3 if you haven't already played it. It is a fantastic game. The add-on called "Blood Dragon" is also very noteworthy. They are two extremely different looking games with similar feel, and you can purchase both for about $10 on sale. It's a solid 50 hours of game play.

I've done some more searching and found the Far Cry 4 CPU tests for the i3 on some websites, paired with a GTX 980 and it does show a bottleneck of course compared to something like an i7... but I believe that's enough evidence that it would work and I doubt it would bottleneck a 265.

I'm not talking about performance. There were a lot of websites reporting that the game won't even launch with less than a four core processor. There are a lot of workarounds available on youtube. I'm just trying to bring it to your attention.

Ah I see, I'll take a look before pulling the trigger. Thanks.

1) Id rate it a solid 8/10 i really do enjoy it

2) Really don't see what the damn big deal is, you launch it on steam, uplay pops up and it starts the game. who gives a damn about it, it just exists in the background and off when the game isn't on. People need to get over trivial shit like this, you like the game, play it not just sit there and complain about how everything needs to be steam only.

3) From what Ive seen with my i7 4790k is that is likes to use all of my 3rd core and less than 60% of the rest of the cores, no idea why

It's a really fun game, but it doesn't do a lot more than "fun".

The story is meh, the good guys are boring cliches, the villains are interesting but given way too little screen time. Most annoying is that the protagonist pretty much just does what he's told to, his only ties to the country is his parents and somehow he gets super patriotic about it for no reason at all.

 

But yeah, it's a fun game, but it's falls very short in most aspects except gameplay.

I'd rate it 9/10/. It's a super fun game with a decent story that kept me entertained for hours. And I have not played it on PC enough yet to tell you. (Beat the game on PS4)
