Well, played about twenty minutes. Made a bow...with reeds(?). Killed some goats...in a swamp(?). Bow and spear throwing are fine mechanically. Spear thrusting is pretty poor. Seems okay, though.

Played around the first few story bits.

I like the skill tree & hunting supplies you collect/loot for crafting. Reminds me of Dying Light with a dash of Tomb Raider in that aspect. You also have a weapon wheel.

Ya gots a sixth sense (hunting) by holding R3. Not a fan of the color change though. Graphics look good so far especially on character animations during cutscenes. Game also loads super fast on my SSD though the game is only 12ishGB so it's probably quick no matter the drive.

I wouldn't recommend this at full price though.. (In Canada anyway lol)

I'm fighting every urge to pick this up. I currently have three open world games on the go, Witcher 3, Dying Light The Following and Just Cause 3. Seeing as everyone here says the price will plummet quickly, I will hold fire.

lets gets some reviews guys

[jsteinhauer]

Mammoth vs. Rhinos is possibly the worst thing ever in videogaming.

A review? I don't know. It's like FarCry 4, but prehistoric. So no guns and no vehicles. And you can control animals. And mammoth vs. rhinos is the worst ever. I had to quit.

Sounds like a bust

I'll get over it. It was going along fine, a bit slow paced, but fine. Then I interacted with something and turned into a mammoth and had to fight waves of rhinos, and if you died, you had to start with the first wave. And mammoths apparently suck at fighting rhinos.

How do you like the game so far if you got a chance to play?

The critic reviews are mostly positive about Far Cry Primal.

I'm about an hour into the game lol and the first thing that strikes me is that it feels like a far cry game, I know there are no guns but the crafting system and the overall feel of the game makes you think that your playing a far cry game.

I love the environments and I'm pretty impressed with the graphics mate, critics have complained that there isn't enough variety in the weapons but you got to remember that this game is based around the stone age and you have to make your own weapons as you go along.

So overall I like the game lol it's different from all the other shooters out there so its a breath of fresh air to play something that doesn't have guns.
I shall play a bit more this evening when the kids are in bed and I shall keep u informed about the game.

Are you going to get the game now or will you wait until it comes down in price?

This is what I am looking forward to. My copy should be here by the time I get home from work.

I was gonna hold out a bit on this game but after after reading so many positive things about it...I'll pick it up this weekend for sure.

I'm really enjoying it after an hour. Can't wait to play again tonight.

Sounds great to me, I want!

OK I couldn't resist, I caved. They had a copy in my nearest Cex and I had £36 store credit so just raced over there at lunchtime and picked it up.

To answer some other things.

As far as I can tell the world is fully open from the outset. But difficulty limits your advance.

Your owl has limited range and a pretty long cooldown that you can bring down to 40 seconds with upgrades.

I don't know why there are complaints about weapon varieties. You have clubs, two types, that can be thrown. Spears, that can be thrown. Two sizes of bows. All three can be used with fire. A sling. Bee bombs. Shards (throwing knives). Poison. Traps. An owl. A four legged companion that bites. And a ridden beast that is an effective tank. I guess if there are no guns, there is no variety.

It interesting. I wonder if Ubisoft recognized that a lot of gamers were using animal baits to initiate stronghold attacks, as I was, leading to the idea to use tame animals as weapons instead of just baiting them. I have yet to use a bait for anything but taming an animal.
