    So far I'm loving the game!

    I must say I'm in general enjoying the game. Yes, I'm also experiencing the infamous stutter that everybody is having and for some reason the melee button when killing an animal is not working no matter how I press the buttons. Don't know if that is from my end or the game. But besides that, so far I'm liking the game. For me, it is more enjoyable than FC3 not because FC3 was a bad game - I liked that game too - but simply because I love FC4 vertical gameplay of climbing cliffs, for example, making the landscape more interactive and interesting to navigate. I also love the more interesting hidden caves or small(or big) grottoes that dots the land. The graphics is definitely more polished and a bit more sophisticated than FC3; at times, it reminds me a lot of Crysis 1 graphics.

    Anyways, good luck to the devs on investigating and fixing the bugs that many are suffering from. Sometimes fixing bugs can be as complicated and more trickier as making the whole game since a mistake done by a "fix" could glitch out other areas that are good - like Bethesda making a patch to patch the previous patch. ^^

    There is so much to do in Farcry 4, awesome, i'm really enjoying the game. Loving the animals, the thud of the elephants pounding the ground as you go charging the bandits or other animals is awesome . Nice soundscape throughout kyrat.

    It would be pretty much gaming nirvana without the stutter. I'm holding my praise until I see how that patch next week works. We need to hold Ubi to higher development standards for PC. They're too apathetic about our platform.

    Is a really good game, except the stutter (for mod config in forum works), the coop matchmaking (i cant invite friends and join randoms lobby coops) and mouse acceleration, the rest is very good, animals, the hunters enemys (i dont know names in the game), the map, and thousand more. Patch this things the become in a really awesome game.

    PD: Yeah, my english is horrible

    ditto, I'm really enjoying the game.

    Since upgrading my gfx card to a GTX970 it's much smoother now and after some experiments with DPI and mouse speed I've got a nice smooth gaming experience.

    The world is very immersive, I'm mostly just exploring and collecting items, I love mountaineering and the wing suit is awesome

    Still got a lot more of the island to explore, only just entering the middle map and 29% complete... Taking the first fort was fun.

    (I'm concentrating on one part of the map at a time, fully exploring and collecting all items.)

    Lucky you! I have the stuttering, nevertheless, this game is becoming a classic for me. ^^

    Luckily, the stuttering only happens when I'm driving/flying and in certain areas of the map. In fact, FC4 stuttering in my experience is not as annoying as the stuttering of The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion(vanilla) and vanilla Gothic 3. Those games had constant stuttering or hiccups every where you went which FC4 doesn't have in my experience. This is the main reason why I'm loving FC4; because it is not stuttering constantly through out.

    I guess, the reason why I'm a bit more lenient to some stuttering(even some lag) in games is because I've come from a RPG open world background in which, as many know, has some stuttering because of all the complex scripts the engine is performing when entering a certain cell of the map. Game engines that have more sophisticated streaming technology have better performance in their games like Arma 2 massive open map Chernarus which, for the first time in my life, experienced a game that was seamless without loading pauses or screens for entering another cell. I still remember saying this experience on the Bohemia Interactive forums and one fellow member told me, "You see? Is it not wonderful the world of good streaming technology?" ^^
