OOS now and price rise.

PS4 £9.99 @ Smyths if you can collect

Really enjoyed the game. Finished during lockdown but disappointed it didn’t answer more questions from 5.

Heat added. I really enjoyed 5 and thought this worked well as a spin-off. It was one that I kept coming back to for a good while after finishing the story, and I enjoyed the missions where you went to Highwaymen strongholds in other parts of America. One of the achievements (involving the "wrath" ability) was a bit of a nightmare, but I managed to 100% the game in the end! A lot of fun in there for <£14..

Wonderful game, but really only works if you enjoyed 5 and want to see more of it's characters and world. It's relatively short though, a side game as Primal was to 4 and Blood Dragon to 3.

These Ubi games are all quite similar. But if you're finding Origins tedious, don't get Odyssey, or at least wait a bit. While it adds plenty of new stuff, like all the crazy abilities, it's fundamentally the same game and just as repetitive. I do like these games, but you gotta play them in chunks. I played them on and off over a period of months. Much less tedious that way.

Maybe its just me. Can sit for hours and play like i used to when i was younger. The same goes for the AC games. Bought Egypt because everyone hyped it, now im forcing myself to finish. Got boring real quick and now there something telling me to get the roman & viking one even though it will end the same lol

I enjoyed 5 too. More of the same, but still fun. And Montana looked great. I just wish the story was better. It had such a great opener, but it quickly went downhill after that. The story structure got tiresome too. Doss about in the world for a bit, get captured, get monologued at, escape and repeat. A talking protagonist would've done that game some good too. The DLC was only. A little half baked, but decent fun. The zombie one is pretty awful though. Felt like they gave up with that one lol. I'll definitely try New Dawn at some point. No rush to play it though. The lite RPG stuff they added seemed weird, but I guess Ubisoft are doing that with all their games now.

No need for thanks, I'm always open to other people's opinions on (mostly) everything, haha. I finished 5 a while back, I enjoyed it and was totally not prepared for the ending, but yeah I agree, the characters weren't great.. Apart from the obvious 2. I've actually not long reinstalled it to do all the DLC. New Dawn could have easily been released as an expansion, minus the padding and side missions. I guess the price tag reflected that though, I wouldn't rush to play it but if you enjoy the Far Cry games then definitely check it out at some point.

I definitely agree with you on the story and characters. I'm replaying 3 right now and they're so much better than 4. They're more fun and far less obnoxious. (Far Cry 5 has even worse characters. Haven't played New Dawn, but I imagine they're just as bad.) Gameplay wise 4 just felt more refined. I really appreciated the small additions like the Gyrocopter, being able to shoot while driving (this is game changer for me), being able to scale up mountains and the larger arsenal. The world itself is more enjoyable to me too. The Nepalese inspired setting is far more unique and pleasing to look at than FC3's jungle setting imo. Differing opinions aside, thanks for being nice lol.

I'm really looking across all these deals just for a cricket game...

Just a heads up to anyone using the US store. LEGO ninja is currently free. Grab it quick

Time was, US and Canada we’re almost invariably cheaper than the UK. Now it’s worthwhile checking all regions before buying anything. Still, some stuff has been significantly cheaper in the US. Their PlayStation Hits, for example, have come in at $4.99, including Return to Arkham and Lego Batman 3. £4 each!

Incredibly, Jurassic World has been even cheaper than that, at $5.99. Still, a great price, and about £3 cheaper than the all-time-low UK price.

Some of these work out more than the uk store anyway (annoyed)

received this morning, did take a bit longer than expected, but it arrived!!! :)

Not commenting on the deal, but coolshop are a bunch of thieves. not based in the UK, don’t be fooled by the website. Customer service is pathetic Don’t make the same mistake as me, check the reviews and make sure to get to the .co.uk reviews not the .de ones! for a couple of pounds, you may want to buy from a decent company

It seemed harder to me. You can also do the outposts again, and they get harder each time. Level 3 outposts were quite tough. The UI has also improved, you can select and craft throwable items using a bar down the left, which was a lot easier than the FC5 weapon wheel. The one weakness was no New Game Plus mode, which FC5 had.

Really liked this game, can’t go wrong with Far Cry really. Good price.

thanks ordered, didn't even know there was a new dawn!!! been playing 5 for a month now, and loving it!

Great deal. Had a fiver in my own wallet I've had for ages so used that towards it.

Ended now :(

The best part of FC5 is the arcade mode, not the (I assume dead) PVP but the solo+co-op maps, players can make their own journeys, outposts, bounty hunts etc. Thousands have been posted at this point, and there are hundreds of fantastic ones. I have over 150 hours just in the arcade, and every time I play even today, it's always brand new content.

thought this one was rubbish. Played all FC games, i thought 3 and 4 were best. FC5 has taken out bits that were good with the others, and overcomplicated it.

I found that rather than having the dynamic resolution option enabled setting a max frame rate worked much better. It was much smoother after that. I set it to max on everything and a max 45 FPS which made it look amazing! I know 60fps would be better but my pc couldn’t handle it at max and then when you consider the console versions run at 30fps I think 45 is good enough.

My first Far Cry game as I've skipped the entire series up to now. It is a lot of fun, lots of stupid yet amusing emergent gameplay. Missions can go sideways for very silly reasons (read NPCs setting themselves on fire, ally NPCs running you over as they rush in to provide support). Excellent graphics configuration and internal benchmark options. Has a very good resolution scaler so I'm able to run at 4K and let the game drop the internal rendering resolution to maintain a ~60fps target.

For what it's worth, I've played this game to completion and I quite enjoyed it. It didn't get all that good reviews from what I remember, mostly from the community who played the earlier games in the series. But this was my first Far Cry game and I enjoyed it at least.

Thanks for this I'd rather pay the penny more for the edition with extra skins and Amazon delivery will likely be quicker than Royal Mail right now :)

The so-called “Special Edition” from what I can see just includes two skins. (annoyed) It’s the same price on PlayStation Store as well.

If I didn't have 18 games to play id get this

Seems a good deal, Special edition £13 from Amazon too

You might still be logged in to your UK PSN account. Open the link in an incognito page.

How can you buy these games? It won't even let me browse.

Will Sekiro get any cheaper as it's around £38 by the way?

No probs pm me with you need more help.

Thanks that's really helpful. (y) 🏻

I really disliked Far Cry 5... it’s starts off great, but quickly gets incredibly tedious. The worst part is you can’t travel 5 feet without being attacked by someone or something.... just never seemed to get a moment to explore the beautiful environment at my own pace. Even when trying to do the fishing mini game, an enemy boat or plane would spawn and you’d end up in another tedious gun fight. (annoyed) but, hey, for £10 it’s probably worth the risk to see if it’s your thing. Funnily enough, I have just started playing New Dawn (the standalone dlc) and enjoying it a lot more than FC5 (embarrassed)

Back in stock (y)

Yeah I had the gold one and sold it for vast profit. Just wanted the basic for a tenner

https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/far-cry-5-gold-edition-ps4-at-psn-3433400 Not a tenner but you get all the extra content and it won't go out of stock.

The gold edition is 18.99 on PSN which includes all the dlc/bonus content etc worth the extra £6 if you don't have prime. Probable worth the extra 8 even if you do (y)

I still can't believe they did a standalone version of the FC3 remaster but didn't include Blood Dragon with it..

Well done. I've just wasted £7.99. Far cry 3 still showing £12.99.

I've played it on the One-X and the 360 and have never experienced anything except gaming heaven.

FC3 is the pick of the bunch. The tropical island setting is beautiful too, especially on the One-X.

I played it and got the platinum. Never noticed the lag issue myself. Could be wrong and I got lucky. One of my favourite ever games.
