    Who should I pre-order from?

    I want to pre-order FC4, but I'm not sure where I should pre-order it from...

    Amazon and Gamestop both have it for the same price and the free upgrade to the limited edition version. But each offer a special exclusive...

    Amazon offers the "Elephant Double-Barrel Rifle", while Gamestop offers "Driller Machine Gun". Walmart offers the "Sandman 1911 Pistol" as an exclusive, but I never buy from Walmart... lol

    Anyone else ordering for PS4? I'm finally making the jump from my 360...

    In my opinion, it doesn't matter. I have yet to get any preorder exclusive weapon that mattered. They will probably all be available in a dlc after a month that will be free if you get the season pass. I say Amazon because its sales tax free.

    Thank you for your input. I wasn't sure if either "exclusive" was good or not. But good point, they will all probably be available in a later DLC anyway... i think i will go with Amazon since I have prime and I can avoid the sales tax! :-)

    I actually haven't even finished FC3 yet... i was playing both Skyrim and FC3, then got busy and haven't played either in a while.

    I'm not too worried about the map editor. I've never used it. I almost played FC3 multiplayer with my 360, but it needed me to sign up for another account on top of my live gold account. Seemed like too much work. The map editor looks fun, but i only play it for the campaign. Just like i only play COD for multiplayer... :-)

    Hi, i have created a short overview about the pre-order bonuses for Far Cry 4. It's a german site but it shouldn't be that hard to understand as there are some related images too.
    If something is missing there, don't hesitate to contact me and I'll update the list.

    I can't believe people can still justify preordering Ubi games with the things they've done to them lately. The Division PC will be sabotaged just like Watch Dogs was. These clowns are practically making dumbed down PC titles the norm. If my GPU can't be fully utilized I see no sense in throwing away even more money paying full price for this crap.

    Far Cry 4 is obviously based on Far Cry 3, so they can't do that much wrong. At least I hope so^^.
    You can't really compare new game releases - you probably refer to Watch Dogs - with existing franchise updates as it's happening here with Far Cry. But that's just my opinion.

    Doesn't matter where you buy it from if you're only getting the standard edition. All the DLC will be available digitally later on for a buck, and even if it wouldn't be, you wont miss out on anything without the DLC's. I'd get it from whoever ships out their games earliest most often if I were you XD
    Personally I've ordered the Ultimate Kyrat Edition on ubishop to get the steelcase, and the store says they will ship it out fast
    Welcome to the Playstation Nation buddy! <3 =D

    When you have a certain amount of insight, you can learn a lot about upcoming games just from knowing the series and seeing the trailers.
    Watch Dogs was a new IP, but even still, the graphical downgrade didn't make the game bad. I have it a 5/10 in my review, and I'm not going to repeat my whole review here, but it all comes down to the gameplay, mechanics, activities and sometimes the story. Graphics is just an enhancement for pleasure, and in the case of story driven games, it can mean a lot for how you perceive the story, but nothing more =)
    I agree they should have delivered on their promise when it comes to Watch Dogs, but I'm not mad about it. I wasn't super hyped for it to begin with, and I never understood the hype, because I know better than to expect 1000+ hours of insanely addictive and good gameplay in a game that only showcases prettier graphics than older games, which is normal these days, not revolutionary.
