Corrupt save = tough luck
Dear Ubisoft,
Having spent nearly £50 on your game, Far cry 4, I was absolutely delighted having installed it on my PS4 to see how good it really looks, let alone play. The characters were almost life like, the scenery was a pleasure to observe especially whilst flying around in the small helicopter, forgive me for not knowing the correct term for such a vehicle. What added to that mentioned was the story line and the great game play. I sat for many hours plotting my way through various tasks and decisions, set upon me by the various wonderful and enigmatic characters I met along the way. I must say it was a joy to accomplish a task set for me, not just by completing the mission but indeed observing the wonderful surroundings along the way.
With that said I can only assume you will realize how disappointed I was when the game crashed, there was me playing along and the character died, no problem I will try again I naively thought. Except I could not try again, the game would not load to a check point instead it froze. I restarted the game and clicked play, to my dismay and horror it said "Corrupt save" The game was not able to let me continue from a certain point. It crashed ruined the save files end of game, so to speak.
There I am, sat there having spent many hours indulged in a truly fascinating adventure, only to find I can no longer continue, the only way to do so is to start again. There lies the problem, do I start again and risk the same thing happening? Or do I bin the game knowing that the £40 odd quid I spent has gone to waste? Do I really want to start all over again? No I dont. I buy a game I expect to be able to play it without all the untold problems that go along with it, and why should I not expect that? After all its my hard owned money that went towards buying the game in the first place. As far as I am concerned I have wasted a lot of money on a game I may never play again because it may crash again. Do you, Ubisoft, care?
Having read the forums a lot of people have experienced issues where by the game has crashed and they have had a series of numbers displayed, I never got that all I got was corrupt save as said. There does not seem to be any resolution to there problem so I doubt there will be to mine, which makes me wonder why I writing. The only answer I can give to that is that I live in the hope that in future, you will sell games where by you are completely assured it does not have issues, thereby not causing upset to any one who may have saved for a very long time to purchase one of your products.
To the forum, if this issue has been talked about elsewhere, I apologize I missed it.
I have a PS4 and downloaded the patches. No other Far cry game was on my PS4
