Wonder what the prices will be. Standard edition is currently $20 on the Canadian Ubisoft Store.

11 hours? Maybe if you quickly speed ran just the story missions. Most people finish it in around 18 hours, or 30 hours if doing side quests.
Far Cry 6: Lost Between Worlds Announcement Trailer
Lost Between Worlds will be available on December 6th, starting at $19.99...Lost Between Worlds is a rich, action-packed gauntlet with deadly crystal enemies, multiple player paths, all-new lore, and a wide variety of unique gameplay challenges...additionally, a free update for Far Cry 6 is available now, which adds a New Game+ mode and Completionist Aid feature...
I've never much cared for the Far Cry series DLC's. They've generally been uninteresting IMHO.
The main games have rich real worlds, but they DLC's often have weirdo make believe shit, and judging by the "crystal enemies" this will be no different.
I think the reason for that is because the main game usually wraps up the story so there's nowhere for it to go...so they make these crazy DLC's
A lot of people seem to think that Blood Dragon is the best part of the Far Cry series which doesn't bother me but I just don't get it. I'm guessing that many of them found the over the top 80's style and cheesiness to be fun but to me that just felt tacky and other than that it felt like a simplified version of Far Cry in a world that wasn't fun to explore or nice to look at. I also think it's more of a pure shooter which likely makes it more appealing to some but less so to me.Makes sense. I have heard some people actually like them.
Like, I've actually heard people say positive things about FC3: Blood Dragon which is unbelievable to me, but it's fine.
Something for everyone. It's just not my scene.

I couldn't bring myself to play it for more than a couple hours so it's possible that I missed the best parts but I doubt it would be enough to redeem it in my eyes anyway.
I didn't really care for the Stranger Things crossover mission in FC6 for many of the same reasons though it was much less over the top at least. I doubt I'll play it again if I play FC6 a second time and I also skipped the paid dlc for this one because it didn't look interesting to me.
New dawn which gets a lot of shade thrown at it is still in my backlog but I liked FC5 more than most and also enjoyed Primal so I'm hoping I'll find it at least decent.
The Rambo mission in FC6 iis fun too.
I think both were added after launch as free dlc so if you played it around launch they probably weren't in the game yet.I don't recall that one either.
I promise, I did complete the game

The Rambo one had some humor and was fun enough but the Stranger Things one was sort of a survival horror sort of thing that just doesn't interest me though the cold war nostalgia angle to the story at least made it slightly interesting.
Coming to Steam on May 11th...
Armenius beat ya to it last page .

They are running a "Legends" sale until May 25th. Everything is $10 cheaper on UPlay.At least Ubisoft is doing it right by launching at a deep discount on Steam, unlike some other games that have made their way back from other storefronts/launchers.
All Ubisoft games on Steam launch Ubisoft Connect, which then launches the game. It's why I've been purchasing their games directly from Ubisoft Connect to cut out the middle man. I do the same with EA games despite some of them not requiring EA Play on Steam.But is it "on Steam" as in it launches directly from Steam, or is it "on Steam" like Far Cry 5 is "on Steam", as in it still launches through uPlay
(I'm wary... I haven't been able to play FC5 for months bc trying to "launch" it thru Steam results in uPlay looping for awhile before restarting my PC with no warning)

On another note, it's sad looking at the Steam forum and seeing all the people who already own the game on EGS or Ubisoft Connect are buying it again on Steam. Why?
You can still add non-Steam games. Since Connect needs to launch anyway, adding it to Steam after buying it from Connect or EGS would give you the same experience as buying it from Steam, which is why it's stupid.That is really dumb, because at the end of the day you still need to log in to Ubisoft Connect. But I suppose some people just want everything in one library. But considering it is still tied to Connect, and it still launches it makes it even dumber.
I recall you used to be able to add non-Steam games to the libary. So you can launch the game, although it will of course loaded up Connect or directly launch the game if it was older and didn't have any type of client. I thought that would have been good enough because it would still show in the library. But people can re-buy the game if they want, their money.
I found 5 unique enough to play it twice. Haven't tried 6 yet although I did just buy the goty edition.Isn't this franchise pretty much played out at this point? After you've played the first 3 or 4 what's the point in playing any more of them
I've lost count how many times that I've played the first 3.
I played 4 around 4 or 5 times.
5 at least 3 times.
New Dawn twice.
Blood Dragon, lost count.
I've tried playing Primal at least 3 times, and the farthest I got was when you get your pet bird. I was bored af with it for some reason.
Haven't played 6 yet, but purchased the GOTY edition so I'm ready to rumble.
I like to get my money's worth by trying different scheme's, different routes, different character's, higher difficulty's, getting all achievements, collectables, etc, etc.How do you do that?
Don't get me wrong. I appreciate these titles (at least most of them) but I don't see what is there to keep the interest if you know the story and how they end.
The only single player story based games I have ever replayed have been a decade+ after the fact after I no longer remember how they ended. The original release of Deus Ex was an example of this for me.

And that's with ALL games.
I too, do as much as possible before continuing the main story line, and I like to get all the collectibles that I can during a normal run through, but some games make it difficult to do that in the first pass.Ahh.
I like to get my moneys worth as well. Though I tend to start on the highest non-extreme difficulty level.
In other word "very hard" is good for me. "nearly impossible, and if you die once the game is over" is the one I pass on.
game is over
I will usually go after all side quests I come across before story missions. I think I usually wind up hitting 90+% of them by the time the game is over.
Once the main story is over, I'll usually see if there are recent key decision points I can go back to for alternate endings, and if there are I try them, but if it requires going back too far, I'll skip them.
Once the main story is over, so is the game for me. At that point I usually don't go back to mop up side quests I may have missed, or explore, etc.
On a number of games I can count on one hand, I have gone back years later and re-played them, but that is rare.
I usually wind up getting more play time out of games than most other people, but it sounds like you get significantly more
I played Far Cry Primal in Survival mode with perma-death enabled. It was the most riveting experience I’ve ever had playing a PC game. I lasted 29 hours, and almost finished the campaign, before being killed from behind by a sabertooth tiger. I was devastated.I've lost count how many times that I've played the first 3.

The spears, the cave men at every other campfire, the bone clubs, the map...after 5hrs of that I was bored to tears. Give me guns & ammo please. I'm glad somebody enjoyed it. And that pisses me off because I wanted to like it and have fun, that's why I tried playing it 3 times.I played Far Cry Primal in Survival mode with perma-death enabled.

I’d never played a game in perma-death mode, and all I can remember is being on the edge of my seat the entire time. I mean, it was intense.The spears, the cave men at every other campfire, the bone clubs, the map...after 5hrs of that I was bored to tears. Give me guns & ammo please. I'm glad somebody enjoyed it.

Not gonna lie, that sounds like a nice challenge. I didn't get very far in Primal bc it just wasn't what I wanted at the time apparently but trying a permadeth run sounds fun*I’d never played a game in perma-death mode, and all I can remember is being on the edge of my seat the entire time.

The first time I saw a sabertooth tiger I just ran like hell - and ultimately I was killed because I never even saw the one that took me down from behind.
After dying, I re-started in normal mode, but because there was nothing at stake I found the experience to be stale… boring… bland. I don’t think I’ll ever return to Primal, but I have incredibly fond memories of it, simply because it provided me with a different experience.
I find that ‘new experiences’ are becoming rarer for me as a gamer. I used to be fascinated by so many games - but these days I feel more like I’ve already been there and done that. LOL.
