Wednesday news, part two:

The best Far Cry game of all time now has achievements on Steam

Ubisoft's return to Steam has continued slowly but surely since September 2024, when the company finally decided that enough was enough and it was time to start selling games where people actually want to buy them. That means day-one releases on Steam, which is a big deal in its own right, but Ubisoft has been going an extra step by adding Steam achievements to its older games on the storefront. That's nice, although it doesn't really interest me personally—or at least it didn't until today, because today Ubisoft brought that love to what is possibly its greatest videogame ever.
I am of course talking about Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, the "'80s vision of the future" starring Rex "Power" Colt, whose mission in the futuristic world of 2007 is to kill everything, get the girl, and save the world. "Experience every cliché of a VHS era vision of a nuclear future, where cyborgs, blood dragons, mutants, and Michael Biehn collide," the Steam page promises, and let me tell you as someone who grew up in the era of Terminator, Aliens, and Navy Seals, it works: It's dumber than hell and an absolute blast.

Cool, does that mean Ubisoft finally got FC3 to actually fully work well with modern day HW?, because I tried to run it 2yrs ago with my still same rig from 2017 and it ran like total ass, despite all the fixes attempted from PCGaming wiki...

It either works really well, or those cheevos won't matter. 

I'd say it's much more easier to add achievements than to fix a broken game/port. But I'm sure you already knew that.
