I see the new page for where you can pre purchase this, but there isn't a Steam icon. This will be on Steam right? Maybe 6 months away is still too far for it to be on there.

I honestly hope it`s not on steam for the store bought version. I hate buying a cd/dvd for mostly single player games and having to use steam for it to run. I have at least a dozen games I bought discs for that require steam to play. When I walked into gamestop and shelled out 50 bucks for FC2, I went home loaded the disc and played it without having to rely on steam for it to run. That`s what I want from FC3. By all means make a steam version for download but please don`t require it for the store bought version.
I don't mind using steam for some games, but others I'll give or take
It makes it easy if you have a really good connection - you can just pop the cd-key in and let it download/install all on it's own - especially if there is multiple discs
I did this with BF3 - couldn't be bothered with the install DVDs so just installed/downloaded via origin @ 1500 kb/s lol
Achievements on Steam is great - as is joining MP games with friends and if there is faction-style open-world multiplayer then being able to join friends in your fraction would be pretty insane imo
Also purchasing DLCs is a **** load easier through steam I've found - I have all the Assassin's Creeds as retail and haven't got the DLC's for Revelations yet simply because it's too much of a hassle (especially being in Australia where it's not always as easy and the prices are sometimes more expensive - this is more of a generalisation rather than for Ubi games)
That's what I'm hoping for. And having achievements with far cry 3 would extend the replay value immensely. Doing stuff like "snipe a guy from 10 miles away." or "jump down the tallest waterfall in the game." or "distract 5 guys with one rock throw." that would be awesome if this game got achievements.Originally Posted by SinoK Go to original post
