GreenmanGaming running a pre-order promotion for FC Primal. 30% off $60 = $42. I doubt you'll do much better than that until the game has been out for a few months at least, I went ahead and ordered.

If it's still going after payday (1st), then yea, I'll grab it. That's low enough that in order to save any more money, I'm going to sit around waiting and hoping... Not worth my time or stress.

Are they going to put in radio/cellphone towers for us to liberate? Probably change it to old, broken down, wooden observation towers to fit in with the timeline.

Already got a 30% off voucher for the game from GMG. Tempted to pick it up, though these games usually get discounted pretty quickly.

Is it any different from Far Cry 4 which is the same as Far Cry 3 so with the name Far Cry, I worry it be the same game-play. But if it different, I'm down.

I foresee this game being much more difficult than the previous Far Cry games, I mean think about it, all you have are spears, bow and arrow, and bee bombs?

What do you guys think?

It seems like it would have to be. No more sniper rifle has to make things a little harder.

I am still trying to decide if I want to pre-order this today to get some $$ off or just wait for the price to drop and a few patches. I loved FC3 and FC4, so it's really tempting me. But, I liked the gun play in those games. I'm not sure a game with nothing more than stone age weapons is going to be that much fun.

Exactly how I am feeling...

I loved the Z93 and The Ripper...

Looks good but I'm not ready to play anything Far Cry again after spending 20 hours in FC4.

This is different, but at the same time exactly like FC3/4. Just not ready for it again.

Twenty hours? I got over 120 hours playing...?

Course I prefer playing on foot and not driving everywhere...

Yeah this seems like a great deal to me. GMG has great deals on new games somehow.

Even so though, I am sure I won't go for this one. I just can't see myself getting into it, just like 2 & 3. I didn't even try 4.

Though, I will admit, this looks really really good.

I caved in and bit at $39.99. I need something new to play, and if this is anything like the last two it should keep me busy for awhile.

They lost me when they added all the collecting and crafting in the third one, that crap has NO place in a first person shooter. The original Far Cry is the only one worth playing IMO.

I really like this game. It does enough to separate itself from the other FC games to make it feel sort of new-ish. The companions, hunting at night, the environment, building a village/clan...I had fun! For those who're on the fence, I explain in detail why I like it so much, here:

I almost feel like they should have given the series a new name starting with Far Cry 2. I can understand people really liking the first game but not the rest because they are so different. I like the newer formula myself, but it is certainly a lot more grindy than a traditional run and gun FPS.

It's a new spin on the same old Far Cry, but there's nothing wrong with that. The game runs very well and can be set up for clean, clear anti-aliased visuals. I suspect the lack Nvidia gameworks features is the reason for the game running so well.

I got a couple of hours in last night and so far I am liking the game. Like pretty much every review out there states, this feels very much like Far Cry 3 and 4 in terms of mechanics and things to do.

It does seem like the game is a bit less story driven so far. The initial tutorial part of the game (first hour or so) you are being guided for sure, but once that is over the game just sort of dumps you into the world without a lot of direction. That, or perhaps in my haste to start seeing things I might have skipped some dialogue. You really have to take a little time and read what people are telling you because they aren't speaking English.

I do like that there seems to be an actual reason to be collecting things this time around. You need to be able to craft things like arrows and spears rather than just buying them at a store like in the previous games.
