Ubisoft are giving one 'lucky' gamer the chance to become the first person to play a video game on Mount Everest with Far Cry 4. Terms and conditions are extremely interesting...

"THERE IS INHERENT RISK OF DEATH AND SIGNIFICANT INJURY TO PERSONS AND PROPERTY ASSOCIATED WITH THE MOUNT EVEREST EXPERIENCE ("EXPERIENCE") AND BY PARTICIPATING, WINNER UNDERSTANDS AND SSUMES THIS RISK."

why why why

DrForester · Jul 25, 2014

Didn't some guys take a DS to the top of Everest a few years ago?

edit: yup. Nintendo did it already.

No one ever brought a gameboy or something up to the top?

Jimmyfenix · Jul 25, 2014

They also put out this.

How do they know some other climber hasn't already played a 3DS, a Vita, or Candy Crush at one of the base camps or something?

Smokey · Jul 25, 2014

Risk your life for far cry 4 brehs

noobasuar · Jul 25, 2014

Would be pretty bad press for them if someone actually ended up dying.

big_z · Jul 25, 2014

On Mount Everest doesn't mean on top. They're only taking you to a low area base camp.

This is nothing but clickbate marketing.

Sayter · Jul 25, 2014

So this is where my money goes for all that DLC.

JordanN · Jul 25, 2014

Whoever goes, needs to dress up as the Ice Climbers while doing it.

Sinfamy · Jul 25, 2014

Is this inspired by HighLANder?

OG Loc · Jul 25, 2014

Am I allowed to smoke a joint when I reach the top?

I'd be smacked on the top of Everest, bruh.

RS4- · Jul 25, 2014

If I was fit enough, I'd do it. But not for Ubi or FC.

SSReborn · Jul 25, 2014

No thanks.

No checkpoints...why ubisoft..why..

this gif has been use all day and it works because this is my face when i saw that thread title

Xav · Jul 25, 2014

I can barely connect to Ubisoft servers on ground level. I'd hate to see what reception will be like on MT Everest.

DrForester · Jul 25, 2014

Notice they don't say the top of Mt. Everest.

Quadraphonic · Jul 25, 2014

Silky · Jul 25, 2014

Just play any other Ubisoft game. I'll guarantee you you can get the same experience.

bobawesome · Jul 25, 2014

Sounds like a great idea to me.

Veritigo_X · Jul 25, 2014

First person to play Far Cry 4 on Mt Everest.

iNvid02 · Jul 25, 2014

a wingsuit experience would have been great, this is stupid

Vibranium · Jul 25, 2014

*Uplay account is required to reach Everest to play Far Cry 4 without dying.*

tioslash · Jul 25, 2014

The game will crash and they´ll make you wait for a patch there.

You´ll die waiting for it.

The Lamp · Jul 25, 2014

I guess being at a camp at the foot of Everest does count as being "on" the mountain.

SmithnCo · Jul 25, 2014

Someone should take a Gameboy game to the base just to be there first.

What the hell?

It's cool, I guess...

?!

Crayolan · Jul 25, 2014

Playing games atop Mt. Everest doesn't sound that impressive considering they've already been played in space.

Glittering Crux · Jul 25, 2014

Going to Mt. Everest would be cool if they didn't make me play an Ubisoft game.

I was gonna say, this would be crazily ill-advised if it were about trying to summit.

Lol I was trying to think of one too

Arkaerial · Jul 25, 2014

So I'm going to drop $37,000-48,000 for the fees. That doesn't include the airfare, the gear, the food to play a video game. If I'm dropping that kind of money I'm doing it to summit Everest not to play a game.

But you're a gamer man! How can you ever not think of your most excellent hobby, video games, no matter what you're doing!

Mr Git · Jul 25, 2014

But how will they sign into Uplay at the summit?

Quadraphonic · Jul 25, 2014

At first I thought it was funny because nowhere does it say they're the first to play a video game on Mt. Everest. But RIGHT IN THE VIDEO they say it...

Pfft get lost Ubisoft, if I want to climb Mt. Everest it won't be to play your games.

Damn from the article it seem like that the DS really hung in there.

Eh, sound like it could be fun. If I don't die that is.

Htown · Jul 25, 2014

It's Ubisoft. Clearly Nintendo doesn't count.

Loakum · Jul 25, 2014

I'll go on the record in saying this is a shit idea.

What a lame publicity stunt. Is Ubisoft Acclaim now?
