Popular Post GumiDeLaGumi Posted December 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) To no one's surprise, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon Classic Edition, is as bad as the Far Cry 3 port we got three years ago. Reddit users are reporting locked 30 fps, low resolution, deadzone issues on controls, and no nextgen version available at all. Personally, Blood Dragon was one of the reasons I pulled the trigger on Far Cry 6 with Season Pass (the roguelite DLCs and Blood Dragon won me over). Should've avoided it instead. I didn't even consider that by marketing it as part of season pass for PS5 version, we wouldn't even get this game for current gen systems, thanks Ubisoft. Save your $15 (if they already didn't get you with a season pass...) What's your take on this?

da_Heino Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Kinda expected it when I saw the "Classic Edition" on it. It's just another way to say "low effort PC port". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakebit10 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Thankfully I didn't play FC3 classic right away. By the time I played it it seemed fine to me. My biggest issue is that the aiming and shooting feel really off. I was also dissapointed that there wasn't a PS5 version. The way it was announced it made it seemed it was going to get a native PS5 version. I am surprised it is still locked at 30 FPS. Hopefully they will patch these issues. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Creasy007 Posted December 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2021 Having optimism for anything Ubisoft makes is a bad idea in general. After the laughable mediocrity of 'Far Cry 6,' I think I'm firmly in the camp of avoiding any and all titles of theirs in the future. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post zizimonster Posted December 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2021 While I haven't tried FC3 Blood Dragon Classic Edition yet, I think FC3 Classic Edition isn't as ugly as people make it out to be. It's a fine game, and fun to play. 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AihaLoveleaf Posted December 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2021 If there's one thing I've learned in the past several months of PSNP, it's to stay very far away from Ubisoft's games. Just glad I found out before I got roped into an Assassin's Creed or Far Cry game. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mega-tallica Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 That's why it's best to wait a month or two on new games until they patch it enough to get the game where it should've been at launch. I played the Far Cry 3 port a few months after it was released and it played fine, don't see why people rag on it so much unless they played it early and it really was as bad as they say. I'll wait on this one as well. Many games people have said perform so bad I've never had an issue with. Then again, my standards aren't as high as others seem to be. As long as the game plays and isn't glitchy or crashing every 10 minutes then it's good enough for me. I don't see why being locked at 30fps is such a big issue. That's how it originally was. It's a port, not a remaster or remake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMErickson Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Aw man, that’s too bad! Was looking forward to this one. Might wait for a sale. By then maybe there will be some improvements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PhantomFear94 Posted December 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) I'm going to play it anyway, as it's <10 hours, and then I'll have Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon, 4, Primal, 5, New Dawn and Far Cry 6 100% completed (well, minus impending 6 DLC...). Xbox gameplay also doesn't look too bad (system I'm playing them on). I'm not going to be too bitter about Blood Dragon being like 3 - a below average port. Essentially just additional SP content you can take or leave. Ultimately, I'm more concerned where Far Cry is going as a franchise. 6 was still decent enough, but a big step back from recent entries (for me, at least) and there reports that 7 will be a "live service" game don't bring me much comfort, either...

That's how it originally was. It's a port, not a remaster or remake. I picked up FC3 on sale but literally couldn't play it because the 30fps was unbearable for me, probably because the motion blur in the game is awful. And it wasn't just a straight port, if you look at the ps store's description it says it's been "enhanced", though I think resolution is the only thing that's actually better. At $30, which it launched at and still sits at when not on sale, people deserved more and better for a game that was 6 years old. There's no reason the consoles at the time couldn't run it at 60fps except for laziness (not of the devs of those in charge of decisions) Edited December 16, 2021 by DeadmanStrife 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantas007 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 While Far Cry 3 was brilliant port Blood Dragon is pile of dog shit, dont get me wrong the game is still fun and Ill have fun playing, but it looks terrible and outdated, worse thing for me is controls! My main reason I purchased season pass was Blood Dragon to, but thx got the Vaas dlc was brilliant and looks like ill be same for other to dlc's, so money well spend.

AJ_Radio Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 It's Ubisoft people. What did you guys expect? Assassin's Creed III/Liberation, the Ezio Trilogy (Assassin's Creed II, Brotherhood, Revelations), Far Cry 3 Classic and Far Cry: Blood Dragon have all been lazy ports. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You raise a fair point, but considering they implied there would be next gen versions too I think it was fair to assume it would be better. Oh well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look I don't judge you negatively in any way. I hope you let the burn from this guide you for a long time. In 2016, I was tricked into paying full price for No Man's Sky. I'm 1000% more skeptical these days. Everybody makes mistakes ? Be safe, stranger! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davideffincastle Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I skipped out of Blood Dragon when it was first released so honestly I have no problem playing it. Sure the upgrades would've been nice and it is a little weird they marketed it in that way but I'm good with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUDGER666 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I think its also poor that Sony continue to allow shit like this to continue. Sick of stuff like this happening and Sony doing nothing about it, if i was Sony the game would be removed until its fit for release. Devs/publishers will continue to do this and continue to break games and not fix them (Mafia) because they get away with it. Last game i bought on release day was Black Ops 2. Not many Devs/publishers i trust anymore. I wait at least 2-3yrs before i buy a game. I think this is the best way to play as you know what you're getting and i pay a fraction of the price for a more finished game. Nowadays most games are released as a work in progress. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the same on FC3 Classic and Ghost Recon Wildlands, yet many say it's not there. I just get how some can't notice input lag. Rainbow Six Siege also has input lag, yet its a popular competitive game.... Like wtf? Streaming games on PS Now has less input lag than a lot of Ubisoft games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most games have below 100ms response, and stuff like Cod have around 40ms. Far Cry 3 is around 300ms. Loads complaining about it and now complaining again with Blood Dragon. Was a better video showing the lag but you can still clearly see it here, put it on 0.25 for better result. You should be moving before you have finished moving the analog stick, which is the case for most games. But as you can see the game responds well after the analog stick is fully moved. That is high input lag. If you don't notice lag then don't go looking for it, because once you see/notice it there's no going back, I can't play games that have high input lag and its the first thing i notice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
