Oh, I need to manually enter the steam "Deluxe" key ingame? That's weird...Cool, I'll do that tonight (if the servers are back up).

Are we comparing based on personal experiences?
Where is the uplay mission? I activated it but can't seem to find it.
I haven't done it yet but it shows up as a special marker on the east side of the map.
Do you have that side of the map uncovered yet? I haven't been there and I don't see it. The Lost Expeditions show up for me even in areas that I haven't uncovered yet though.
Nope it's in a blacked out section of the map.
It's the UPlay reward mission. You bought it with your uplay points?
Yup. Could be a server problem or something.

I'm not far enough to know if the game acknowledges it but the game's writer definitely realizes it and did it intentionally:
Interview with the writer about the intro:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRUsBFBPsh8
I am having the most fun I have had in an FPS in years. So I was getting chased by 2 dudes in a jeep. I get off my car, and as their vehicle comes towards me, I kill the driver in one burst, the jeep loses control, turns and flips over, throwing them both out, killing the other dude instantly. WOW.
Ah great interview.
Wanting to buy this right meow and I'm seeing GetGamesGo has the deluxe for ~$46. Tried to look for it on GreenManGaming, but it's not showing up for me. Is that because I'm in the States? I thought we could still buy from GMG.
Trying to get the Deluxe as cheap as I can and be able to make it the 4th today
Edit: If my assumption is right, it appears far cry 3 won't appear for me on GMG till the 4th. Is that correct? GetGamesGo it is then if so.

Is the open-world stuff all available w/o progressing the story? I'm a sucker for that stuff - want to amuse myself first.

Some not all, you can upgrade your crafting by hunting specific animals, unlock free guns by doing radio towers, assassination missions, hunting missions, races, but alot of the skills are mission locked

I don't think GMG sell UbiSoft games in the US. Anyway, the Deluxe edition it's $40 on GMG for us Euros so it's not a huge savings either way.
So Green Man Gaming just sent me my CD key, but I canot get their shitty capsule to work. Is there anyway to redeem the CD key on the shitty UPlay client?!
Quoting for the new page as at the moment I cannot even download the game!
Ah, I see. Well then that makes sense. Thanks and I'll go ahead with GetGamesGo. $46 for the deluxe vs 50 for standard on Steam seemed likes a good enough deal for me.

Didn't arrive today. Fuck Amazon.
Just tried to purchase it through GetGamesGo and it said it was unavailable for the country selected. If I choose United Kingdom as my country though it appears to want to proceed. Wonder if it would still process through PayPal correctly though even though its now in Euros.
Anyone purchased this way before?
Hmm, starting to wonder if I should just buy standard edition through steam and unlock via vpn....
and yeah, i'm being cheap lol

Thank you so much for posting this--I love his explanation.
WARNING: Only watch the first minute of this video if you've not played the game!!!
Hey guys , i hear some people managed to play this early in NA .
I tried checking on youtube/google to play games early on Steam but most of the trick are for Europe or the applications i tried did not work (Cyberghost, Spotflux)

Goddam playing predator and shanking people is so much fun. I don't even use guns unless I absolutely have to. The death from above takedown is so fantastic.
Someone detailed it earlier in the thread. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=44840036#post44840036
Basically find a VPN client and connect to a Euro or Aussie server. Launch steam and the game should unlock. Then launch the game though Uplay and close the game and put Steam in offline mode.

I unlocked it this morning in the US. I used a proxy for Australia.
Be sure to run Steam in offline mode until next Tuesday. You can still play online with Uplay.

I get real sad when my video card isn't even brought up anymore when it comes to performance talk. I've decided to wait until I get both consoles before I spurge on a new PC... but it hurts (well, it runs 95% of games totally fine, but some games not so much).
EDIT: People really thought the beginning of the game was entirely earnest? Come on.

Anyway to play this early if I just preordered from Ubisoft?
Depends, do you like 25FPS?

Console versions are that bad? That's a shame
25 fps isn't that bad if you're not super frame rate sensitive.
4 more days till I get lost in this world in glorrrrrrious 1080p!

Going to pick it up on Steam. Is there a preload yet for USians?

Yep, just did mine.
It's really sad between this and AC3 that publishers can get away with putting these games out if they're clearly not working. Like, a customer who doesn't know better buying Skyrim on PS3 just seems like there should be a law preventing that from happening.

Cool, thanks. Purchased and preloading now
This is sorta just wrong. Silenced sniper rifle is my most used weapon in the game outside of the bow and enemies never have a clue where the shots are coming from.
If they even notice a buddy dropping dead or a shot missing, then they go on general alert and start roaming around, but they still don't know where the actual shot is coming from. And as long as they don't actually see you, they won't raise the alarm.
If enemies don't happen to notice their friend laying on the ground with a mysterious bullet hole through their head, you can easily wipe out an entire encampment with a silenced weapon without anyone having known you were there. I've done it a number of times on Warrior difficulty, just sitting back with a silenced sniper rifle and methodically shooting people in a way that nobody else sees them suddenly dropping, until everyone is dead.

Map Editor is going to SAVE this multiplayer.
The PC Editor is orgasm worthy.
There's a lot of complaints on the console version though. Shitty limits and draw distance.

Was gonna add, Far Cry 2 had amazing sniping. I'd take out entire towns just sitting in a bush...
I enjoy how it turns into a sort of puzzle game - "sitting at range with a silenced sniper rifle with super-scope, series of enemies in a camp, when and in which order should I shoot each of them so that nobody even notices?"

Is it a fair assumption that the Deluxe Edition will be available after launch and is not a limited edition?
Good question , been wondering same thing.

I just jumped into it to see the differences on pc. Holy shit. I cannot wait to see what people come up with using this thing. Also, it may not allow you to do it through the multiplayer game itself but it seems like you can play others AI and vehicle maps solo by downloading the file and opening it up in the game mode in the editor. Need to try that out.
