...for less than 10$, and now I'm raging.

Why?

Because

  • The GameStop app downloads the game to the location you asked, but that's the installer, not the game itself (like Steam does), so you have to install it yourself to another location.
  • The FC3 installer installs some extra things like Uplay (no option to choose the location), while it was already installed. Now it's installed twice, the new Uplay doesn't see the old Uplay and it's game (Driver:SF). Steam isn't able to launch the old Uplay for Driver:SF anymore.
  • Downloading the 195MB patch from Uplay took as long as downloading the full game (10GB) from GameStop.
  • It takes hours to launch.
  • I don't have voices. It looks like I have to search for audio files somewhere on the net.

Fuck you, Ubisoft (and GameStop), Fuck you! This is the last time you got me.

Just be happy you got the damn game.

Face it, you only bought it because of Gamestop's cock-up that listed the Far Cry Collection for 10% of its intended value and you slipped through the net & actually got the product. The rest of us got stuck at the 'your order is processing' stage with no confirmation if our cards have been/will be charged or response from support.

I'm in Belgium, and got no problem at all to purchase the bundle.
Fast site, paid with PayPal, got confirmation mail and the games in the client.

Im sorry to read that u got so many problems. i also bought it ubercheap and what shall i say! it works liek a charm. already had uplay installed because of anno 2070. i have to admit that downloading it from gamestop to be able to install it then is a bit annoying but hey...u paid like 9 bucks for it. i dont need to start the gamestop app anymore and can start the game using uplay launcher. also registering the game in uplay worked and i can now redownload the game whenever i want from ubisoft. when i first installed my copy of anno and registered the game i lateron had to realize that i registering didnt work with anno so i had to buy the game again after having it uninstalled and loosing my key xD now it works perfect and i start to like the uplay launcher ;)

you are just having some bad luck here. regarding the downloadspeed i can tell that it was fast for me. maybe u should redownload and install the game again lateron.

Far Cry 3 is the biggest shit in year 2012... I mean ,I'm getting attacked by a fuckin' Boar and I die with 2 Hits even when I shot a Tiger or a Bison ,multiple times headshots they dont die and keep running away...

This Game is the biggest crap I have ever played. Trust me: I played lots of shit games... cough Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 cough

You actually dont know anything about shooting animals.. Yes a bison can survive multiple shots in the head.. I once shot a fox 3 times and it still kept running..
And yes a grown boar could even kill you with a one charge if it runs towards you!

You are probably one of those people who just play games to kill people. Who don´t care about story or anyting like that!
And you are also a leech

Note: In real life, if you shot a buffalo (There are no bisons in FC3, so it has to be buffalos) even in the head, it would merely be enraged, unless you used perhaps a heavy .cal weapon, even so, unless you aimed at exactly the cranial area, it would still kick around and rage.

Lesson learned: Never use a hunting rifle against a goddamn moose.

I bought it as well. Downloaded Gamestop and Uplay, downloaded and installed Far Cry 3 and new patch (new patch from website directly) launched and played.

Had a bit of problems, but..nothing extensive and now, I'm playing it fine and awesomely. Maybe it's just you or something. Paying $8 for it, I am more than happy.

The problem is that the resellers never stated that the cheaper FC3 is strictly Uplay and non-Steam. I went for the cheaper option and it's basically Far Cry 3 minus the Steam achievements. You can add it to your library as a non-steam game and take screenies, that's about it.

Btw: Just uninstall the Uplay afterwards, and play vanilla offline. That way, no save hassles, although you miss out on achievements. For me, gameplay is good enough.

Shouldn't have pulled off a Jack Sparrow, my 10 hour save file went AWOl.

LOL! FarCry3 and AC3 both are uPlay only! Even if you buy it on Steam you need to play it through uPlay! OWNED!

yes i know the steam version uses uplay but its just drm and a launcher not the full version of uplay,
the ACTUAL uplay version has the full uplay client meaning you download the game using the uplay servers and install the game using the uplay installer, the uplay client is slow and clunky and has several problems as the op has already stated.

come back when you actually own the game and know what you are talking about

in fact all, or at least many many of the issues of UBI games, are DRM related...in 1 word..Uplay fucvk up the games, that's why u haven't encounter the bugs...this is the true story..and i never boy a game if requires tha Uplay cancer.

question: there is a way to play FC3 out of Uplay thing?? i mean a legit way? no matter if i have no acchievment...but i wanna Save my progrress of course
