So i am about an hour in. Did a mission where i stole the Aeroplane back from the ranch then just went for a wander. I have noticed that so far there doesn't seem to be a great deal of elevation round most of the outposts making it a little more difficult planning your attack. The graphics are stunning.. I am getting a little annoyed with the amount of baddies that are randomly driving about or just at the side of the road. This makes driving about more of a pain. Time to start sniping i think

The amount of enemies driving around and at random point's remind me of FC2, thankfully thats all i can see similar as FC2 was awful IMO.

Love what i've played so far though, Didn't make much progress as i keep going off to find or kill random stuff, the game looks stunning though.

The enemy spawn is annoying as is their accuracy and the stupid Ai for enemy’s and team members... The pop in is fairly awful too. Other than that it’s pretty good.... lol

Oh and not forgetting the weird audio balance that seems all over the place....

WOW! I thought it was just me going mad with the audio balance! often i have heard something behind me but the sound should be coming from the front. Bit odd but bearable till they sort.

Had a quick blast for a couple of hours, visually looks superb and the gameplay is much of the same which is all good in my book!

Only played this for a couple of hours but something that is already annoying me as that I'll pick off an enemy with a silenced sniper from quite a distance away and if the kill gets noticed the enemies always seem to know where roughly where I am, even if I'm still unnoticed :confused:

This annoyed me with Far Cry 4 that you would encounter an enemy group and run away yet they could still shoot you from miles away even though you couldn't see them anymore.

VincentHanna · 28 Mar 2018 at 16:48

Yeah, Far Cry has done that for a while and it's very annoying.

MOOGLEYS · 28 Mar 2018 at 17:01

The enemy’s just appearing from nowhere is annoying too.

So far it's better than FC4 imho.

I'm enjoying it so far.

Yup that annoyed me last night too. There must be a million enemy vehicles in the game too as no matter where you are about 10 enemy pickups just seem to turn up.

the game needs a slider so you can tone down the number of enemy respawns etc, its bloody annoying in an otherwise great game

McBain · 28 Mar 2018 at 20:42

Loving this game, i'm actually happy with the enemy respawns etc it means you can just roam around and always coming across someone to slay.

I have a pet Bear, disappointed he does not get in my plane with me though..... lol

Killed the first lieutenant tonight. A lot less enemies on the roads now so you are fairly free to just go and explore all the other side missions without too much fuss.

I was down for getting this on day one. But I'm gonna hold out, glad people are enjoying it.

Quinnaay · 28 Mar 2018 at 21:35

Just got this today looks stunning

Game is epic so far! Gfx are stunning in HDR. Still can’t believe how impressive HDR is: it has made non HDR games feel like they’re missing something graphically. Real shame Wolfenstein 2 wasn’t hdr as it would have looked great.

Always loved Farcry and this looks like more of the same but better. Not played much story yet as just been enjoying just exploring and wreaking carnage haha but characters seem like classic Farcry villains so far.

I keep dieing. I can't shoot for toffee and they just keep coming. I clearly suck at games.

Really? I’ve bought an HDR TV (Sony WE75 I think) and to be honest I’m disappointed. Tried GT Sport and the colours looked really washed out, I heard Kazunori Yamauchi saying how in HDR this is the only game that has gotten the traditional Ferrari red spot on but it looks awful and turning HDR off in the in game settings actually looks far better.

I’ve tried GTA V too, not sure if it’s actually an HDR enhanced game but I can’t see anything during dark segments such as shadowy areas and night time, and at other times it just seems really saturated, the sky looks artificially bright. Doesn’t seem much of an improvement over my old TV. Had a play around with the settings and used an image on one of Sony’s guides to calibrate the TV as per their instructions but this just leaves it looking great for some things such as Netflix but **** for other things such as games which differ on a game by game basis it seems. :confused:

I’ve got a Samsung ks8000 and hdr is fantastic. Colours much richer than sdr and a huge difference between bright highlights and dark. Guess it depends on the tv how good it does or doesn’t look.
