Very nice.

Can't wait!

It's annoying that it's not showing up in Steam at the moment (UK) but I assume it will appear when the game officially launches. If not then I've got a friend who will be able to gift it to me.

You can get it for 30% off at Green Man Gaming.

I like to keep all my games on Steam, as I already have to juggle too many accounts (GameStop, Battle.net, GOG.com, GMG, Desura, Origin, GamersGate, etc). If they're not on Steam I tend not to play them as much. Sometimes GMG games activate on Steam but it appears that's not the case with Far Cry 3.

It won't register on Steam as it uses uPlay. So the Steam version again would use uPlay, You'll just have it in your Library list, which you can do with non-steam games anyway. Achievements, cloud syncing, patches will all be done via uPlay. So it isn't as bad. Especially with the 30% off.

Still, I prefer it in Steam. It's the same with GFWL games and EA games that use Origin - I don't mind so much that it uses another client, I just like to have it in Steam for practicality.

buyin it come payday

Didn't have high hopes for this after Far Cry 2 fell short.

This is getting rave reviews though, definitely picking it up.

Yeah, I'm honestly shocked by all the amazing reviews so far. Also, the PC version doesn't suck as a port! YAY.

I can't wait to punch a shark in the face.

I'm glad it is getting good reviews. People kind of ignored it when it was first announced and still didn't care too much about it. Hopefully it will sell well and become the sleeper hit of 2012 both in reviews and sales.

I'm pleasantly surprised at the reviews and the state of the PC port. Unfortunately the GMG deal for 30% isn't available in the US or I may have already bought it.

Me too. I was looking forward to it from the beginning so all the positive reviews for it is icing on the cake for me.

It's also shipping with a level editor (just like Far Cry 2). As for the 30% off deal, I was hoping it would show up when it's released.

Wow, that's unheard of in recent games. Another plus in my book.

I'm confident it'll be discounted heavily shortly after release. That's been a trend lately.
