Recently there has been an influx of broken games released by publishers and developers and the latest to follow this trend is Far Cry 4, Ubisoft's action-adventure first-person shooter video game. The game released today and already reports have began to flood in about issues within the game and the game not even playing at all in some instances. Whilst some gamers are annoyed by the fact that they can not connect to a multiplayer game due to issues with the matchmaking, similar to the issues Halo TMCC suffered from last week, gamers playing Far Cry 4 on Sony PS3 consoles are reporting that receiving a "corrupt data" data error message for Far Cry 3 that is preventing the game loading at all. Ubisoft have acknowledged the issues and are asking gamers with the corrupt data error to give feedback on the Far Cry 4 forums: We are currently investigating the error message that some players are receiving when attempting to play Far Cry 4 on the Playstation 3 (receiving a "corrupt data" data error message for Far Cry 3).
