0/10. I remember hearing about this game awhile ago, and with the steam sale, how could i say no for 4 bucks?

Installed it, came back a few hours later play. Then it begins, It begins its prelaunch installations. But then i notice a Uplay icon appear on my desktop. "Oh no..." I thought to myself, not uplay, especially with their notorious history of horrendous anti piracy, and the latest incident with watch dogs.

After it finishes it pops up a uplay screen, and invites me with a "Sign in to uplay" . I respond with a no, and try re-launching far cry to see if i can get around it. "No, No... I stay..." says uplay, and welcomes me once again with "Sign in". I sigh and begin trying to recall my password for uplay, with no luck i hit the password recovery.

It tells me to put in my email, and gives me a capatcha. I look at the capatcha instructions "Please type the two words:" and gives me two boxes. OK. I look up at the capatcha picture, and written is a mostly blank background, with "9215" written.

JUST. 9215. WAT. I try 9215 in the first box. "Both fields are mandatory". I try refreshing thinking something is wrong. it gives me. "171". 1.7.1. After refreshing a few times and trying various combinations i finally got 222 to work by putting 22 in the first box and 2 in the second.

And this is all so i can use the online features probably right, i could of skipped this and just played the single player right? WRONG. ITS A SINGLE PLAYER ONLY GAME THERE IS NO ONLINE WHAT EVEN.

0. OUT. OF 10. DO NOT RECOMMEND. WOULD NOT BUY AGAIN. WOULD EVEN MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT AND RE BUY ALL MY OTHER GAMES SO I DONT HAVE TO LOOK AT IT IN MY STEAM LIBRARY.

Update: I have attempted to run the game. There are no resolution options, and there is a black bar on the left side of my screen. I attempted to alt tab, and it went into windowed mode, and i have no idea how to full screen it again. -1/10.
