^^barely, At least for me 1~2 FPS gains in places. Not significant enough. Some less stuttering while driving tho.

btw Bengal Tigers in Nepal ??!! 
And i'm making wallets again from their skin?!! Does it not make Ajay Ghale the most bloody despicable poacher ever?

patch 1.03 doesn't do that. Deleting that patch file will break HBAO+ as well.

1. Graphical fidelity, its just so immaculate in almost everything, the illustration and characterization of the Himalayas and its devoted valley is astounding. the lush, the snowy mountains, awe-inspiring view of moonshine and sunrise over resplendent peaks, the jungle and wildlife so rich and abundant with life, it feels real, and i'm going to be biased here, whatever nvidia offerings are there in this game, is absolutely beastly, the godrays, soft shadows, HBAO+ they play seamlessly well to provide image quality and effects which are strikingly beautiful. Trees, temples, villages, caves, grassy valleys, snow canyons, lakes, waterfalls...all splendid, just set any point to map as way-point, set your car to auto-drive and enjoy the view. Get lost in the world, and you wont regret it.
2. Wild-life, overwhelming and sometimes can raise eye-brows but the copious amount of life-experience and the exotic animal-line it offers is beyond great. The only thing I hate is killing Rhinos and Tigers, those could very well be left aside from being involved in petty crafting, just for the sake of being a little more rational.
3. Weapons, vehicles and access to elephant rides and other fun stuff, side-missions and the related quest benefits are interesting, nowhere near boring and repetitive which is markedly a plus. New introduction of outpost master quests, eye for an eye quests, hostage rescue, these are refreshing and gave a nice intrigue point for side-missions and to have a purpose for doing them. Bell towers are somewhat more comprehensive than the watch-towers from last game, innovative too.
4. Character design, voice acting, dialogues, cultural and native references aligned with story-line, quests, and generic population of in-game NPC are HORRIBLE. Ubisoft, there is no shortage of Indians in the world. You took the crappy stereotyped ones and asked them to write those lines for you, why? Cliche ubisoft, cliche!
5. Story...hmm.no spoilers, but above point will somewhat contribute to its apparent triviality, which I believe will finally meet up in loose bonds and soulless ending.

Well what do you expect. They should had hired a Indian person for that for that but they didn't. We gotta live with this idiocy.
Exactly. Hindi dubbing crew would have made it awesome. I was dreaming the voice actor behind James Bond/Wolverine 's Hindi voice

^This. Far Cry 3's story was powerful. From the the very start, we grow very attached to Jason Brody, as his brother is killed and he too has to kill in order to survive(and his horror at it). Jason was originally an ordinary and immature slacker who lacks confidence. Now on the island, Jason develops into confident and dangerous individual, but also disturbed, violent, and unstable. Jason's sociopathic traits become more obvious as the story progresses, with Jason quick to accepting the violence(not to mention the hallucinations) around him and even quicker to get involved in killing, eventually admitting that he found killing fun and it felt like "winning". I also liked the Rakyat Warrior "Tatau" system.
On the other hand, we have AJ, whose first kill is a quick takedown. Honestly, we don't know anything about him-at all. Just a guy with a slight criminal past and whose father founded the Golden Path. That's it. Now he's in a civil war killing people so he can distribute his mother's ashes(it was nice of Ubi to not let the player fight at all in the alternate ending). Jason, on the other hand, is a true survivor by the end of the game. Obviously, I'd rather not go into the Vaas vs. Min debate.
BTW, for those who played it, what would you rate higher? Far Cry 3 intro and Bamboo Cage scene or Far Cry 4 intro and Crab Rangoon Torture scene??

Oh man, thanks a lot for this news.
Although Crossfire is not currently supported by I guess that will be solved real soon as the article suggested that AMD is now working with Ubi to fix CF issues which majorly concerns me.

71 FPS what ? if thats average FPS they are showing on a GTX 970, then either they have turned down one or two settings OR they have some record breaking OC on the fastest GTX 970 available on market. OR its simply a bad benchmark.
Avg FPS on GTX 970 at 1.4 Ghz OC ( which is pretty awesome without voltage mod ) is 60-62 FPS at ultra, and MAX is 87~89 FPS.
That figure fits nowhere.

They just made the settings Ultra. With no further tweak in settings whatsoever. They are using the vanilla Ultra settings and you might be using Ultra with more settings turned up, so that could be the reason.

Well I still have to wait for the crossfire updates but then, I am not going to play this one so soon either. Maybe after 6 months or a year. Too many games in Library begging for my time.
Far Cry 3 had a fantastic story, it was the story which got me playing the game thrice, the protagonist had real reasons to stay on the island compared to Ajay Ghale, Vaas became an iconic villain and Far Cry 3 an iconic game. Far cry 4 definitely improves the open world and game play but lacks the story, Ajay Ghale is already a bad-ass, no journey, no transformation.
I must commend that Pagan Min had only one scene till now ( for me ) but he seemed impressive.
So,
Far cry 3 vs Far Cry 4
Story - Far cry 3
Protagonist - Jason brody
Antagonist - Cant decide, haven't seen more scenes of Pagan min
tribe - Rakyat over Golden path
Game play - Far cry 4
graphics - Far Cry 4
Location - Tie
Over all feel - Far cry 3
Guns, cars, wildlife etc etc - Far cry 4

that's some butt-hurt rant i've seen in a while, just some posts ago, you were talking about selling your cardGosh who made that "grapes are sour" idiom
butt-hurt rant???? what's with u dude, how is the posting abt updates of the game and their driver called a rant ???????
i want to made it clear it to you , what i said........
nowhere there i mentioned abt selling the card....... and what i wanted to point out in contrast to games like shadow of mordor which ran equally well on both amd and nvidia hardware companies llike nvidia are making deals with game fev so that they can favour their products while also ensuring to reduce other company's product status......... so it would be best to buy consoles now cause of this unhealthy competition by nvidia .......... you know what dragon age inquisition also came out recently but the thing is it was quite playable in nvidia cards not like the total disaster far cry 4 made with cards like 290x not playable at even med settings...........
and please mind your language while quoting specific replies........
also you really wanted this game to be it seems........
