    I have one question (Game length) & one complaint (showing too much before release)

    Question: How long of a story is this going to be? One complaint I had with FC5 was that it felt like it was too short. Seeing as how the base game of New Dawn is $20 cheaper than a full game, Im worried it will be too short even for a discounted price.

    Complaint: Stop showing so much before the game releases!!! You did this with Far Cry 5 as well. I think you showed gameplay of 6 or 7 of the 9 companions weeks before the game even released. As well as showing most of the map. Leave stuff for us to find on our own. This game is already going to be smaller than FC5, so dont spoil 75% of it by letting Media/youtubers show everything off. We should just be seeing aspects of the new mechanics and snippets of the story to get us drawn in.

    I went on youtube to try and get some basic info you would normally see before release of games only to see tons of crap that shouldnt be shown before release. Why should I preorder the game when I can just watch youtube a full 3 weeks prior to the game releasing and see most of the game? Im about to buy it anyway because I enjoyed FC5 even though it felt so short.

    Yes. This is Ubisoft weakness! They can't keep the intrigue. You should intrigue gamers! But instead you spoil the surprise. Ubisoft, avoid spoilers! Too much information about the game....is nothing but a spoiler! Sometimes it seems that soon you will show the final cutscenes - "Look, what a cool ending!" You should learn when to stop. And next time....developing far Cry 6......just throw 1 minute teaser! Throw short teaser and dissapear for many months! Let the gamers die of curiosity. Let them racking their brains. Game will fill with rumors and speculations - it's good for the game. Gossips, legends, scandals good for the game! Spread them! Add fuel to the fire! More fuel, more gasoline on a flame!

    Funny Thing just happened. My complaint answered my question.

    Since Ubisoft decides to show everything weeks prior to the game releasing I have seen the full list of missions. Definitely not impressed. So maybe its a good thing Ubisoft shows it all off prior to release. I think Im going to have to save my money and wait for a sale.
    22 missions
    8 side missions
    30 outposts (Actually only 10 that you do 3 times each)
    10 treasure hunts
    21 expeditions (Actually only 7 that you do 3 times each)

    Sure the base game is $20 less than a full price game but its also less than half of a full game content wise. So I will wait until its $25-$30.
    Really sucks cause I was looking forward to playing this addition to FC5. Even with the overwhelming amount of pink crap everywhere.
    People have been complaining about a lot of dumb stuff like "Its just a reskin" or "SJW this or that" etc. My only concern was amount of content. Far Cry 5 seemed extremely short to me and I bout the season pass for that. New Dawn looks like a game Id complete in a day or 2 if I took my time.

    Did someone force you to watch the pre-release videos? I've not watched any of them as I don't want to spoil the story for myself.
