"Ubisoft announced it is delaying the release of Far Cry 3 a few months. The game now ships on November 29 in EMEA and on December 4 in the U.S."

I was really excited about FC3 single player. It was going to be a game to tide me over until my more excited for games release: (Assassin's Creed 3, Halo 4, and Hitman: Absolution). Now with the delay I don't see myself purchasing this game at all unless it's on sale later next year and I am bored with other games (which is unlikely).

I don't understand why it would be delayed unless they came across a hugh bug and/or they weren't meeting a certain standard of polish. I think the game would have had much better sales in September. Now it has to compete with the likes of Halo 4 and Black Ops 2. Bummer....

I guess the $60 bucks I was going to spend on that will go towards Dishonored instead. Ah well.

Don't care, it won't make the game worse. This way I'll actually have a new game in early December (might turn this into a Christmas present for myself even)!

Far cry 2 looks better.

And yet another game is delayed this year.

with me being probably the only one that love FC2 i was really exited for FC3 but ... ur wright its not a good idea putting it up against really big franchises cuz it will likely not sell that good and i will not get FC4 :(

Better boob technology?

Sold.

It comes out a month after both of them. How is it competing with either?

Now, if you wanted to make the argument that releasing a big holiday game after Thanksgiving, the biggest holiday shopping weekend of the year is pretty stupid and notably did not work for Prince of Persia when they released it that exact week in 2008, you might be on to something.

It looked like it needed a few more months for polish. Draw distance and frame tearing looked kind of rough in that PS3 multi demo.

I think it is competing with them because its a first person shooter. Any FPS releasing within a month of Halo 4 and Black Ops 2 is just being sent to die in my honest opinion. The kids are going to be playing 1 or the other. I think most people wouldn't buy several games around the same time period.

The goodlooking yet incredibly scripted Crysis-wannabe first person shooter was delayed? Awwwww!

You sure know a lot about this game that none of us have played. Tell us more.

Maybe they realized they wouldn't have time to finish the DLC before it shipped.

Guess it'll be better with more time? This looks like another case of a game that should get delayed. Its last release date was better if Ubi wanted to make more money.

First game to have man-boob technology.

MP is a cod clone co op looks like a cheap add on single player could have potential but to me so far the gameplay just looks generic the only thing that is attracting me to the game is the setting and graphics but that's not enough for me to validate a purchase.With all these games being pushed I really hope to see GTA 5 this year I kinda doubt it but a man can dream.

I find it weird that the game was only delayed by such a little bit... I am still excited none the less. Now I can put more time into Dishonored and Borderlands 2 though. I can play FC3 instead of studying for exams. Thanks Ubisoft...

If the game's better for it then I'm all for it, man!

it's still coming out this year. It's not like it was delayed 6 months.

That's fine, it'll be longer until it's cheap on Steam so a few months don't bother me.

At least it's still this year!
