    Vaas aside, this is the game which defined the cartoony aesthetic for the rest of the franchise, and i don't like it.
    The ambient occlusion in Far Cry 3 was all over the place,bleeding in every direction.

    Went to claim it and the first thing it does is fire up steam on the claim button, where it seems i already have it with 0 hours playtime from 2017. lol

    First game was just as "cartoony" if not more.

    Far Cry 3 wasn't really about it's graphics but all about it's story and gameplay.
    As for AO, it can be toned down or disabled completely, the choice is there.
    Indeed, I still remember it as if I played it yesterday.



    Everything after 1 isn't really Far Cry though, always found it weird that they kept the name for games so far away from the original.

    Does Uplay disconnect for anyone else?

    I was wondering why it would not let me add it and was asking for an activation code. Thanks a bunch

    Mine is working without issues, although I had to install a bunch of updates and restarted like 3 times o_O

    I just noticed that there is a message at the bottom of Uplay that says they will restore the connection to a service that got interrupted. But it's working fine.

    It was driving me insane so I figured maybe I'd give someone a free sanity check, lol

    Mine is now working fine, no error message at the bottom either. Does it disconnect while playing a game?

    Well that is very weird, I just tried closing uplay and reopening, no problem. I even logged out and was able to log in.
    And there is no error message or disconnect.

    Could try to re-install and see if this works, yesterday, when I opened it. I had not opened it for at least a month and seems like there was 2 updates.

    Yeah, I'd hoped for more of the adventures (or misadventures) of Jack Carver after having a blast with the first game, but there were no more. The least they could have done is remaster FC, I'd gladly pay good money for that!

    I really enjoyed FarCry Primal.
