As allways with Ubisoft, as they don´t upgrade their games because they don´t care about the community, you spend more time trying to play than actually playing, And you have to play via Ubisoft Connect because they sell it in steam but only so u can use their shitty page no one wants And then, when you can finally play after getting a degree in computer science in the progress, they change your audio and smh eliminated the option to change it from the Fucking Menu. Its not that the game is old, I have been playing Overlord 1 from 2008 perferctly without an issue of the sort, its fucking Ubisoft.

Don't buy it. The ubisoft launcher is bugged and won't let you play the game citing "licensing processing" as the cause. But as it turns out, there's no fix to this.

I didn't want to leave a bad review, especially for the best Far Cry game. I've been playing this game back on the PS3 era and it was one of the best games I ever played and enjoyed. After coming back to replay it, I have to say that it's unplayable on PC. Every one to two hours the game crashes. Sometimes when trying to start the game the loading screen freezes. Ubisoft kicks me out of the game to update and you have to login to Ubisoft in order to play an offline game... Had to redo the same missions from the start because of the crashes and the worst part is you cannot save while on a mission. If you want to play this game I recommend playing on a PS3 or maybe on an older PC.

Don't buy. It doesn't work. Simple as. You basically buy it on Steam but you still need to make an Ubisoft account and register there and do all that unnecessary, inane bullshit. That is in my personal opinion NOT a good business practice. Ubisoft Connect is notoriously known for being shit and generally disliked. Ubisoft Connect is a bugged mess and is REQUIRED in order to play this game. That is where you encounter the main problem. You launch the game through Steam and then it launches Ubisoft Connect. After that Ubisoft Connect just keeps loading and loading and keeps asking you to login to your Ubisoft account. I heard that is the same problem across the board for all Ubisoft titles bought on Steam. I looked up fixes online and none of them seem to work. How and why are Ubisoft/Steam selling a product that doesn't work is just beyond me. Just do your self a favor and don't engage in these scummy business practices. Avoid Ubisoft. I certainly wouldn't be buying anything from Ubisoft anytime soon. They are known and have a history as being totally incompetent idiots. Really reminds me of those Electronic Arts folks but that's a whole other story. Anyway about the game: It's the best one in the series. Far Cry 3 is a masterpiece in its own right. There's no need for me to talk much about it. I just came here to revisit it and experience nostalgia, but unfortunately that's just not doable. Find another way to play this game and definitely DO play this game. The game itself is a 9/10 and I really do recommend it. Sadly I simply can NOT give a positive review on Steam for something that doesn't work.

Played this game on the PS3 10 years ago, it's still amazing to this day! The amount of nostalgia thriving to my experience of gaming, it still goes without saying that, it's one of the best games that Ubisoft had to offer at that time unlike today's standards. The graphics of this game are still good even in 2025

Game just does NOT launch. Stuck on splash screen. Running an i9 4090 laptop. Ubisoft help forums don't exist and have moved to discord (what a great way to save money on server hosting and space and putting the cost on discord Ubisoft!) There are fixes about disabling cores but I am NOT messing about for a game this old, just instantly refunded. Not worth my time trying to hack my system to get this game working.

Forced to use Ubisoft's **** Connect for a 13 + year old game to play single is diabolical ! Crashes often and not being able to skip scenes in game only to have to replay over and over the beginning of the game is ridiculous at this point ! It really wont take much effort to polish this gem and make it enjoyable again ! Start by removing your useless game launcher !

Don't bothering buying any ubisoft game. You can't even play them. It makes you download ubisoft connect, which you cannot even download from the official download page since it doesn't work. If you find a download that works, then it won't start your game because it will indefinitely be verifying your license. Its genuinely baffling, no wonder ubisoft is failing. If you really want to play this game, find it somewhere else where you can actually start the game. -100/10 for wasting so much of my time

Because of Ubisoft's ridiculous log in system I am unable to access their games anymore, given the fact I haven't logged into my Ubisoft account in over 5-6 YEARS, I am expected to remember the connected email, number, password, etc. I obviously have changed emails and all of the above over that amount of time and have no chance whatsoever at ever using Ubisoft content again. I do not understand why I can't simply log into a new Ubisoft account, change the email, I am so incredibly frustrated with this experience that I don't think I will ever touch a Far Cry game again. I want to love this game again so bad but this is unreal on Ubisoft's end.

I bought this game not realizing you need to have a Ubisoft account to play it. This is so they can track your every move and spy on you. The problem is I am often at sea without internet access. Avoid all Ubisoft games like an airborne strain of herpes. I won't be caught dead ever buying another Ubicrap product.

Was a great game when released but is now a fucking nightmare thanks to ubisoft. In 2025, do your self a favor and dont buy any old ubisoft titles because they either dont run properly or at all and ubisoft likes to cut content you pay for. If you want to play any ubisoft games to begin with, just pirate them, ubisoft doesnt care for consumers so dont support them as a consumer, simple really

About 6 or 7 years ago, I downloaded and played this game with out a graphic card from a pirated website. Once again, I love this game so much that I bought it for it. This time, while playing the game, many things come to mind, such as many NPCs rotating on their own or, you could say, vibrating. Also, the game crashed once while playing, and I contacted customer care and they still haven't responded. Finally, I solved the problem by watching a YouTube video. A while ago I was playing a game and the game stopped. The story of the game is good, but I refuse to buy this game because of the graphics and bugs and other unsavory things. If Ubisoft company works more on this game, then something can happen in the future.

Ubisoft Connect Edit: There was a "License Processing error" on first launch, right after buying it. Don't expect to be able to play it immediately. Took a day for me, doesn't excuse the issue. I was really hoping to play it when I bought it. Game holds up well with a few tweaks (Check the Guides), but I can't recommend it due to Ubisoft Connect and all the fun that comes with it (Spyware, Useless extra DRM, Forced 3rd-party Launcher)

The actual game of Far Cry 3 is an absolute delight to experience. However that is only if you are able to actually play it. I have truly never played a worse port of a game. From poor controller support, frequent frame drops, and the inability to play the actual game for more than five minutes without crashing. This port is so bad in fact, that it has rendered itself completely unable to load into a save file, even after fresh installs and new windows. Don't waste your time on a game that doesn't even work.

I remember playing Far Cry 3 on PlayStation 3 years and years ago not too long after it originally came out and from what I can recall, it was pretty much smooth sailing back then with fun yet challenging gameplay, great graphics, an immersive story, a beautiful world to explore and no real game-breaking bugs to worry about. Fast-forward to almost a decade later when I decided to buy this game for PC as part of a discounted bundle here on Steam, and I'm both very disappointed and frustrated to say that it's been nothing but a huge hassle for me ever since. Unlike all of their other games that I currently own here on Steam, Ubisoft forces you to not only install their third-party launcher software Ubisoft Connect which you MUST use every single time you start this game, but you also have to create a new account AND sign in with your password every time you launch which completely defeats the purpose of having their own game available on the Steam marketplace to begin with. To add insult to injury, it took me DAYS just to launch the game for the first time because of connection issues that I was having with Ubisoft Connect even though Steam itself and everything else on my PC was working just fine so the launcher was clearly the problem. And mind you, this is all after Ubisoft shut down their own multiplayer servers for this game, so it's quite ironic how you still need an active Internet connection to play all by yourself or else you're screwed for some reason. Even after all of this though, when I was finally able to launch and play the game itself, I still haven't managed to get past the first mission due to crash after crash happening which all forced me to start back from the very beginning again since none of the checkpoints saved for me at all. The last few times the game crashed, it was either very close to the end of the first mission or during the loading screen that displays in between the end of it and the start of the second mission. Until Ubisoft fixes their own game and/or launcher, it's highly unlikely that I'll ever progress any further than what's essentially just the tutorial. For all of these reasons and more, I simply cannot recommend buying this game due to it being literally unplayable at this current stage in time thanks to Ubisoft.
