    Worth buying FC4? - I just can't decide if I want to pay to be a beta tester..

    So, I just recently bought Far Cry 3, and totally enjoy it, except there's an incredible amount of bugs.. This game has been out for quite a while, and with all of the game breaking bugs still in the game, can anyone promote Far Cry 4 to me and make me want to buy it?

    I have read Far Cry 4 suffers from game breaking bugs as well, and if FC3 is still rubbish, is ubisoft just trying to make a buck and give the middle finger to its community?

    Is there hope for FC4, that ubisoft will stand by its product and polish it?

    Maybe I did not play FC1 and 2 enough, but I loved those games and didn't run into many issues, FC3 was just a publisher laughing in my face as he took my money to his bank I feel like.

    You playing on PC? I don't remember any game breaking bugs on FC3 when I played on 360. FC4 is more buggy than FC3, so if you feel this way already, maybe you better wait. It will never be perfect so maybe you shouldn't ever play it.

    A beta tester to beta test what ? lol That's the final product, period. Don't expect more.
    Ubisoft may correct a couple of bugs, maybe, but they are not known for their support after release. Especially in FC3.

    I would say the level / number of bugs in FC4 is the same as in FC3. Although I didn't experience a lot of them myself. Only a couple of times I fell under the map with the wingsuit / parachute (this bug was already present in FC3).

    If you're unsure, which is understandable, maybe you could wait a moment until the price drop or if you're on console to find a used copy.

    I've played FC3 and am now on my 2nd run through of FC4 and I have not been plagued by bugs. The main issue for me in FC3 & 4 is hitching, more so 4 than 3.

    If Ubi were to release a performance patch that actually fixed the hitching everyone's experiencing, I'd congratulate them on best shooter of 2014. Game's fun but the hitching is very off putting. Sometimes it even affects your aim. I'm talking about the PC version of course.
