Far Cry 5 - Hope springs eternal

Its set in a fantasy version of the present day. Why cant I just look at my phone and get a nearly perfect map of the area?

Who’s got the best deal on this? Are the 3rd party resellers providing keys yet?

edit: hmmm I guess the “20% off with 100 Ubi Units” on the official store isn’t bad. Brings the price almost down to GMG’s level. Got to spend them on something…

Isn’t 20% off better than GMG? Last time I looked they only offered 10% off?

It is really weird how out of touch many forums and the press seem to be in the last couple of years with Ubisoft titles. Rainbow Six Siege, Assassin’s Creed Origins, The Division, Ghost Recon Wildlands, and even For Honor have all done really well for Ubisoft and yet I still see articles and forum posts suggesting that they’re underappreciated.

Ubisoft is completely killing it recently and I’m sure Far Cry 5 will be no exception.

Answering my own Q, Newegg actually has the Xbox digital gold edition for 10% off no code needed, so I bit on that.

Yes the Ubi discount percentage is higher, but GMG’s USD base price is a fair bit lower than the base price Ubi sets in local currency here in their store. :(

So it works out that Ubi is still like $2 more, even with 20% vs 10%.

I mean, literally, less than an hour after I posted about preloading not being there yet, it’s there.

Yeah I thought it was funny because I had literally just read it haha

I’m pretty sure the final level of the first Far Cry was in a volcano.

Wasn’t the original Far Cry the one with the weird mutant things in the end? I coulda taken a pass at that part. That game was a beach swimming simulator for me.

I like the idea of a Far Cry Fantasy, or a time travel one where you go back with modern day weapons and radios. Kind of an Ass Creed Far Cry mashup.

I am in on day one, I bought the ULTIMATE 'MERICAN EDITION 🇺🇸

Yes, and the mutants were so dumb they made sure to make the same mistake again in Crysis.

But man, the parts of the game stalking humans on a wide open island were great. That kind of gameplay is what made me so happy when I discovered Sniper Elite.

PSA: I just clicked on that link and got a pop-up (no doubt fraudulent) about my Moto G5 Plus phone being compromised by a virus. I managed to hit the back button and close the tab, but be careful, all.

EDIT: Not a Twitter link.

Gold edition purchased and pre-loading now. I can’t wait for the unlock.

Tom is streaming it on Twitch right now. https://www.twitch.tv/tomchick

Looks like Far Cry meets Red Dead meets Just Cause …

It’ll be interesting to see if the DLC settings jazz up the formula. Having the main games all set pretty much today seems to contribute to the saminess. If they’d gone from 1 to 2 to either 3 or 4 and then Primal, the series would still seem pretty inventive, but 3, 4 and 5 all seem over similar. I’m hoping 5 is at least a Wildlands reskin, rather than another FC3 reskin.

I’m down on this one… but will end up with it anyway :)

I got an email from GMG for refer a friend to get the Far Cry 5 20% off vocher. so the final price come down to $47.99, i think this is the best price I saw currently. (this is a referral link, not sure it is cool to post it here or not, if not, let me know, I will remove it)

voucher only works on new GMG account only

Thanks!

It looks like you cannot use that with existing GMG accounts so I had to create a new one to redeem the offer.
