Far Cry 4 PC reviews delayed until release

Right now, Far Cry 4 reviews are popping up all over the internet. It is, by all reports, a great game. Unfortunately, we can neither confirm or deny that assessment. More troubling, given the launch state of Assassin's Creed: Unity, is that we can't tell you how it performs on PC. The reason is simple: we haven't yet received code.

If you're getting a sense of deja vu, it's because exactly the same thing happened with Unity. For Far Cry 4, Ubisoft held a console review event; giving multi-platform outlets the chance to have their reviews in place for today's embargo. We, naturally, need to play the game on PC. Last night, we were informed that code wouldn't arrive until Tuesday, the date of the game's launch.

....

We asked Ubisoft for an official statement, which you will find below:

"The reason why we did not provide review code until now is that there is a title update which won’t be available before Monday prior to launch. However, we will officially communicate on the title update prior the release of the game so consumers are aware."

The PC port is being handled by Ubisoft Kiev who did the port for Unity as well.
 
It's worth noting that Far Cry 3 PC was done by the main Ubisoft studio and Kiev doesn't have a good track record with PC ports (AC3, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier etc which had performance issues on PC).
 
 
Hopefully that version will turn out decent.

Man Ubisoft has got to have the worst PR in the industry, and that's saying something when your competitors are EA and Activision. It's like the ones with the least faith in Ubisoft's games are Ubisoft themselves.

Well when they know that their game runs like ass and is the same generic shite they've put out since 2010 do you expect them to have any faith in it?
