A game broken at all levels
I have tried very hard to play this game, with all its problems. it has too many to count, hence I will not play anymore, plus I encourge my friends and steam people not to buy this game, it is very broken. Its sad that the game developers dont care about testing the protect they put out and correcting the problems their testers find. Ubisoft, I took another chance on one of your games again and got burned.

p.s. at the time of me writing this, you've wracked up 80+ hours of gameplay, and are currently playing the game. Nothing you say or do makes sense.

As far as all the people having issues/crashes/etc. Learn how to maintain your gaming rig.

Wall of text (yes I did read it all)
Anyways...
Hope that clears something up in your head ?
yes, i am a Christian

Iv'e played every farcry. This one is by far, the best optimized one at launch that I have played. Runs great, have not encountered a single bug. Zero crashes. Closing in on 40 hours.

Its unfortunate your experience was not the same.

I have about 30+ hours so far in-game and haven't noticed a single bug or performance issue.
I've had sli enabled the whole time i've been playing.

Loving it. No probs till about 22% completed then some laggy stuff around base village. Other than that it purrs like a kitten for me (a loud sabertooth kitten purr)

Seriously, SLI isn't what it used to be, with top end card being $500 -$1k a piece, people just arent getting it as much as they were 3-4 years ago. Almost every AAA release this year has not had PROPER SLI support if any(NONE that I bought did. JC3, TR, This game BO3 etc.) The smartest thing I did when I built my new rig was get one 980ti instead of 2. It's insane how I somehow manage to not have performance issues that people with SLI have.

It's just not a priorty for dev's anymore. Getting SLI is about as usefull as getting AMD these days.

Not saying SLI is stupid or whatever, it just makes less and less sense as single GPU cards get more powerful and expensive and less and less people buy 2 cards.

When 4k monitors break 144mhz and people demand 4k gaming, maybe it will make a comeback, but SLI is not all the rage anymore.



Yeap totally agree. Its not their priority anymore. Maybe nvidia also prefer customer buy their newest card instead of stuck up with the old one and get another old card to make sli. So it seems sli is a double edged sword for nvidia . One thing it makes people buy more of their old card. Another thing avoiding buying their new cards.

Okay i have just woken up and i can see how i word things annoys/confuses you so im going to try me absolute best to explain myself to you a third time.

You see those orange circles on the map in the picture those are side missions they have no real purpose and just make it look like the game has lots of missions and content. they are boring, they are mixed into groups

  • Tribal Clash
  • Beast Kills
  • Escort
  • Save/Capture

They are all the same, a tribal clash is no different to a random wenga event, which is not any different to a save/capture, and then the a beast kill is the same as a tribal clash but against wildlife and the escort is a moving version of all of them.

They boring... and make up the vast majority of the games missions... there are so many of these dumb meanless missions that they grind on the player.

picture 2
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=643541045

You see all those blue things on the second picture those are collectibles, you do nothing but walk around collecting them and exploring some real boring cave systems getting lost and generally being extrememly bored, these make up almost 40% of the entire completion ratio in farcry primal

These are boring, and should not be almost half the games content...

picture 3
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=643542139

You see all those question marks, and campfire symbols, these are not even missions but you simply walk from one to the other and do nothing else, they a checklist of locations (also major landmarks included not shown in picture) guess what,,,

These are boring, and serve no purpose, you cant fast travel to these, and of course more boring caves...

picture 4
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=643543315

These are the hunting locations, these are fun, but the fun is short lived, once you have tamed all the various animals, the purpose of these is down to resource collecting in order to one button upgrade a village, and..

Resource collecting is boring !!

picture 5 ~ NOTE: how little icons are around here
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=643544293

These are the interesting part of farcry primal, this very small selection of icons, and that screenshot is being generous with content because that game is at the stage of village upgrades, they make up the storyline within farcry primal

they are the smallest aspect of this game, but the most interesting and rewarding

and why im bothering with all these points...
Now not everyone consider the same aspects as boring as other, some people will like collectibles (lol) but, im trying to explain myself not them to you. now when (roughly speaking) 90+% of the games content is nothing more than junk it makes the game boring....

and if those missions were not around it would be more fun, and the reason.. its because those missions arent fun, so if you remove non fun items from game, you are left with the fun, its just logical...

and so second playthrough. im only doing the FUN parts.... the storyline...

The game is wonderful, its not broken for me, its not a chance to bash ubisoft, its a lovely designed world and feels great to play, but its very dull when it comes to missions.

I have no idea why i need to explain myself in such detail, because im sure you already knew what i meant, but to explain what i think your trying to say to me... i will leave you with this...

  • I hate reading, but i love every word of the bible
  • I find Sunday lunch boring compared to a nice curry, but i eat them
  • I think working is repetive, but i still done many hours of it

In other words, there are many things that are boring, but are still done, and even when they are boring you can still find fun aspect in those tasks, During a tribal clash (the 20th at that) a moment of battle can provide fun, but man im sick of doing them...

also i paid for this game (alot of cash) so im not going to just ignore it. If i went for a meal and it was a little bland, i would eat it, i paid for it....

I literally could go on like this all morning...

I have explained that not all 80+ hours are actual gameplay hours, i have explained many things i like about the game, not just what i hate about the game, but one thing i CANNOT is say that this game is mostly interesting, when the truth is i find it mostly boring, repetitve, and dull. But the i gave it a 7/10 because side missions not included the game is a well made, beatiful piece of software, and the mechanics, and how it works is flawless with the least amount of bugs, etc..

BTW, vice city is in my collection and what a game, but twenty years from the first time playing it is a tad boring now.

the majority of the game is a farce

Doing 100 hrs of something i enjoy in farcry primal, whilst still consider most of the game boring is not a crime and does not mean that i dont have the right to play.

so please, if you have any more questions... ask !!

Dumped my 2x GTX 970 SLI's for 1x GTX 980 ti Lightning, and haven't looked back.

No crashes or issues with Primal so far. Win 10 - Extremely clean machine. Nothing gets loaded on this PC but the minimum I need to run games, and I don't surf crap on it. :)

Same here, this is the first machine I ever built that I just don't use the internet on at all. tablets and phones make it possible, even practical. It's lol that I'll be sitting at my computer googling something from my phone, but I have been able to run every major "broken" title this year with 0 problems from day one.

If you can't keep your gaming PC clean, you're just lazy.
