Ugh, can't believe I still haven't pulled the trigger on this. I just need proper frame rate testing to confirm the X is a solid 30 with proper frame pacing. Come on DF, I'm dying to get that digital gold edition.

I love when games include items in the toolset for user generated content that aren't part of the maingame. I just did an Arcade Hero level that was filled with skyscrapers and overgrowth that felt right at home in The Last of Us.

Very important question for those who are playing it on console: Does the game have alot of load screens (like starting missions etc) or are we dealing with a GTA style thing where it's one big load at the beginning?

Just found this. Seems very promising. Glad the stuttering of FC4 seems to be gone.

Was leaning towards a day 1 purchase, and that benchmarking tool is kinda selling me on the game even more lol. Such soothing tunes amid the beautiful chaos!

Also thinking I'm gonna roll with PC, thinking/hoping I can maintain a solid 60fps with a 1080 and an I5 6600k @ 1440p. If not I'll just refund it and go with whichever console runs it better.

Just preordered on the Uplay store, fuck it. Wasn't hyped at all until this week. One question though: will I be able to change text and dialogue language separately?

I don't understand the logic, with those specs it's gonna run smoother than any of the two consoles.

Guys, 2 quick questions:

1. Is there a benchmark tool with this game?

2. Will Nvidia release optimised drivers?

Aside from PUBG and Rocket League, the only games I have installed are AC:O, Siege, and now Far Cry.

If you are this anal about it why on earth dont you have a PC? You cant afford to be a console gamer and fuss over a few dropped frames, you will never play anything. Just buy it man...

Managed to play a couple hours today. This is my first Far Cry game (but i've played plenty of Ubisoft Openworld titles, and they're all comparable tbh...) but I can say to Anyone who has even the slightest interest in far cry 5, id recommend it. Best thing I can say about the game so far is that Exploration for the first time in a while with an Ubi game (for me) is really encouraged and rewarded. Gone are radio towers etc to show key locations, you explore and when you get close to an area of interest (location, stash, hostages etc) you'll see it appear on your compass. Other locations you'll hear about from people you rescue, clippings, radio chatter etc, and once you've heard it, it'll show up on your map as a location. I'll be honest, the game so far has reminded me of the newest Zelda. An open world with only a few locations shown on your map, the rest is for your to discover. You're dropped in an environment, and just told to get on with it!

Game is a blast so far.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered but if I wait until release and buy the Gold Editon, will it still come with Far Cry 3: Classic Edition or is that a Pre-Order bonus? I'm hoping to use my 20% off coupon.

I've actually been hearing a few people comparing some aspects of this to BotW. That sounds great. This would be the first major title to take some inspiration from it, then. Would be fitting, considering all that Zelda borrowed from Far Cry.
