I didn't realize that the AMD bundle came with it so I purchased it off Uplay yesterday. Now I have two copies :(

The steam version of Far Cry 3 requires uPlay as well. Starting it actually starts up uPlay, and then you start the game from there. I'd be amazed if this is any different.

True, but all of the licensing is stored with Valve.

uPlay works fine for me. Not sure what kind of issues some of you have but it's never been a deal breaker to me.

For anyone that wants the game. I somehow got a free copy through the AMD promotion, but I already purchased the game.

Well, it's out, and while the characters and 80's vibe are spot on, there's something off about the gameplay.

Has anyone used the code? It isn't working for me.

So, I'm close to the beginning, but the flippin' teammate of mine won't come with me. I've killed everything, and he's just standing there waiting for something.

EDIT:

Yeah... watched a walk-through video on YouTube, and the AI in my game is broken. What a way to start off the game. :\

Ugh, seriously... why do developers insist on making it so you cannot save when you want? I just want to save so I can go watch a TV show, but I always get, "You can't save in a mission." Ugh, I'm always in a mission! I quit thinking the checkpoints were auto-saves... nope... just lost a half-hour of progress.

Do they even play test games anymore? It doesn't matter how quirky fun a game is if other aspects of the game annoy you when you're trying to play it. Now, I'm going to go watch TV and be all pissy. :|

ok WTF. I just tried to play this game and Uplay crashes the instant it tries to load the game. Then the game shuts down as well. This is broken out of the box. What a pile of trash.

Works for me.

Sure it's not your computer?

Played for a few minutes, but that tutorial killed the mood! And they didnt fix "Hold E" to pick up stuff. With the increased movement speed, mouse sensitivity seems off. I think I need to tweak a bit to enjoy this.

Obviously, it's a one time use code. But, there are reports of others getting a "Invalid Code" error.

For me the code received from AMD is not working, price remains unchanged and I'm taken to payment details. Others experience the same and AMD is aware of this. Sent a support request.
