Is the PC version worth getting?

[DustyShinigami]

I see the game is on sale for a tenner, but is it worth getting...? I know how bad Ubisoft PC ports can be...

Aye, if you like the Far Cry format it's worth the cash, it's nothing revolutionary but it is a refinement on the previous games.

Personally, I thought the main story itself was humourless, turgid bloater but others seem to like it and the open world is solid and fun. Most of the Side Missions are a bit on the slight side but pretty typical of the series.

It's not particularly buggy and certainly nothing game breaking that I've found, mostly just some hilarious physics (though I would make manual backups of your save). It's got New Game+ and extensive Mod support with the Resistance Mod.

I agree Ubi PC ports are usually not that great, but FC5 isn't a port, it was developed for PC since day 1.

worth it for arcade mode = $89.99 i thought when i got it ..and i was right

tons of great maps to play so you never run out of things to shoot at

and your asking ..now several yrs after the game shipped is it any good ?
and it out sold all other far cry games ..in its initial release ?

Yeah this game runs quite well tbh, and it also looks fantastic. Definitely not a lame port.

For a tenner an absolute no brainer, gameplay is satisfying despite the story stuff being a bit hit and miss at times
