    Why are you gimping Far Cry 4 PC like Watchdogs PC?

    Even the EA guys are calling you out. I am so happy the only Ubisoft game I've owned since this horrible Uplay crap was instituted was donated to me. I will never buy from a company that cares so little about my platform. I would love to hear your explanations on why you are purposely holding the PC versions of games back to make these weak consoles look good.

    I was so excited about this. Then I heard about the 30 fps cap they are going to implement to drag us down with the rest of the console community.

    Well, the PS4 should be able to run the PC version of Far Cry 3 in 1080p and 30 fps, so it may not actually be anything to get upset about. By the looks of it they're using the FC3 engine, and they would have to upgrade the engine to have a significantly superior PC version.

    I'm sure the PS4 would be able to run the PC verison in 1080p and 30fps - at medium Details and other tweaked-down parts of the game engine.

    Remember the latest-gen consoles merely have the horsepower of a small, budget PC. They lack both the CPU and GPU power to move anywhere beyond that, that what they can do is only due to massive optimization on these standardized platforms.

    A hypothetical PS6 in 2018 may have the power of current PCs.

    Ubisoft is a disgrace. At least we all know not to buy FC4 on PC

    They do it because people still buy it and ask for more. Simple as that.

    If you really MUST play such ridiculously downgraded games, do it through alternative (and legal) means. The experience is the same as on a console? Then buy it USED on a console (or rent it, if you can - maybe even borrow it from a friend) so they won't get your money to keep perpetuating this sort of situation.

    Remember - it is their fault as much as yours if you buy it regardless.

    Don't have a console? Play at a friend's house or borrow his console for a weekend.

    Play on consoles?! I don't think so, PC or GTFO. And since FC4 is using the same crap of engine as FF3, then it's safe to say that both SP and MP are nothing short of buggy mess. So screw that, screw FC, congrats Ubi on killing he series for PC users and congrats for being even worse than EA. Screw you Ubi, SCREW YOU.

    I've watched their demo-reels of FC4 and this really looks like they just recycled everything, made a new map and threw in elephants.
    I also bet they'll repeat exactly the same mistakes that killed FC3.
    You can now also hijack driving vehicles with some Superman-type stunt moves - the console kiddies gonna love the cinematic "action"...

    I for sure won't buy that game, the FarCry series is dead in the water. Turned from something spectacular into "just another cheap cash-cow" for a greedy and ignorant publisher.

    Absolutely, watch dogs got somewhere around 4 million copies in a week. Makes this trash the best selling game for week on for ubisoft.

    You want to make a difference and I know I do. Don't preorder anything ubi again. Don't buy it on pc until it comes down in price. Unless they change their attitude and optimize games for pc we shouldn't just throw money at them.
