Is this highly replayable?

[Green]

howlongtobeat says it's pretty short so I wanted to know if it's replayable.

[Montella89]

Yes, it is.

4-5 hours of main campaign, but it's really enhoyable.

[Argylle]

I think it is. The ambiance/atmosphere and the gameplay really make it replayable.

[BIӨMΣCHΛПӨID69]

Meh, if you're looking for a game of this style go for Turbo Overkill instead - it's early access but it's still less buggy and more enjoyable by far than this game. Plus you don't have to register with Ubisoft to play a game you bought on Steam.

ABSO-FUKN-LUTELY!!!

I suggest playing Farcry 3 first to get to know how to play this game because the control scheme is the same. If you think Farcry 3 is replayable then you will enjoy this one.

Beg to differ. I've replayed BD a bunch of times start to finish, never got the patience to even go through FC3. I can't see how one depends on the other.

FC3 takes itself too seriously, while BD is unashamedly goofy and intentionally cheesy. As a result, BD is MUCH more fun than FC3, especially for those who lived (or are acquainted with) the 80s. Ssssooooo many references to 80s pop culture and so many hidden pearls everywhere, this alone makes it worth it. :)

I've played 2-5 and new dawn and finished all except new dawn and 2, 3 was a lot of fun but got boring after completing it a few times, and doing 100% a few times, which is expected of course.

Yeah, this the best Far Cry game IMO. Rex Power Colt is the best protagonist. For the record, I've played FC 3, 4, 5, Primal, and New Dawn also.

It is if you can get it running.

It used to work fine, did it stop working?

[Nige]

I just migrated to Win 11 from Win 10, which worked fine, and the game won’t start.
Been ploughing through possible solutions online. I have a hunch it’s poorly written reg entries which means that neither UbiConnect nor Steam can find the .exe (even when running the .exe directly).

Could be, keep in mind that this game was made for Win7, so there's quite a bit of technological gap to cover. ;)

BTW, love how your name is censored by Steam in quotations, oh wel...

I have successfully migrated older games than this to Windows 11 and it worked perfectly on Windows 10, which is not such a technological gap. It’s not the age of the game that’s at issue, but some tweak thay needs to be made somewhere.

[Bait]

Not exactly the age, but the technologies involved. Some changed over the years (e.g. drivers), some not. Have you tried enabling Compatibility Mode?

[Nige]

The technological differences between Windows 10 and Windows 11 aren’t that great though. Yes, I have tried every compatibility mode that’s available. The launcher can’t find the executable and errors out. I suspect it’s not a technical issue, but rather a configuration/ launcher issue where the paths have not been coded properly. Something like the difference between an absolute and a relative reference.
