‘Far Cry 4’ is a contender for game of the year

The Globe and Mail: "Okay, here’s the truth – I played this game for eight hours before writing this, rather than the one hour required by the format. Even then, I felt like I’d barely scratched the surface. This is a giant game without even including the online multiplayer modes. It’s a huge time suck, but also great value for the money."

Far Cry 3 was my GOTY of 2012. Couldnt believe that joke called the VGAs dismissed it just because it released late in December.

XboxOneX3454d ago

Far Cry 4 should be very good but to call it the game of the year after just playing 8 hours is jumping the gun a little bit. Please do a follow up to this article after playing the game for at least 30 hours.

mikeslemonade3454d ago

By rule a genric shooter won't win it. Sure some idiotic sites will give it th award, but the name of the game is to get the most GOTY awards.

DefenderOfDoom23454d ago

That makes no sense , to have a award show before the year is over!
I do think there is no VGA show this year, due to the VGA fiasco of 2013 .

FAR CRY 4 will probably be contender this year , due to not many good FPS campaigns this year, except for WOLFENSTIEN NEW ORDER.

XboxOneX3454d ago

I do plan on picking up WOLFENSTIEN THE NEW WORLD ORDER very soon. It looks like a very cool game and I love Nazis (Well I love shooting them lol) I hope we can get a WW2 shooter or a FPS based in the past like COD 2 and World at War with multiplayer out soon.

It would have been cool if Wolfenstien the new world order had MULTIPLAYER.

spicelicka3454d ago

I was gonna say the same thing. Its a friggin outrage, wtf were they thinking, so if the world's greatest game was released in December they'll just ignore it, how does that make sense?

Also vaas should've won character of the year, stupid ass VGAs.

While I agree, let's not forget about other contenders this year. It seems like everyone is so focused on Far Cry and Dragon Age Inquisition, but my personal GOTY is InFamous SS and The Last of Us Remastered.

Again, it just seems the gaming community continues to ignore the underdog titles every year. It's very sickening.

lemoncake3454d ago

How can the last of us remastered be considered an underdog title, it's the exact opposite? For underdog GOTY I would go with something like shadow of mordor or child of light.

Beyond the particle effects Infamous ss is just too shallow of a game to be GOTY. And I really hope we don't go down the route of giving remastered games GOTY, that just seems lame even with how good MCC is I wouldn't want that to be GOTY either.

Ezz20133454d ago (Edited 3454d ago )

The Last Of Us is underdog title ?!
WHAT?!
you are talking about a game with the most GOTY awards in history is underdog title to you ?! Lol
It's my favorite game ever
but
a new game should win GOTY awards this year not remaster
i vote for :
Alien isolation
Shadow of the mordor
Dragon Age
or from the looks of it it seems Far cry 4 for GOTY as well
this year have been very slow

i just got Ps3/Pc version for Far Cry 4 early
and will see how good it is

joab7773454d ago

Yeah, for me if it lived up to the hype, it would be Dragon Age and it sounds like it has.

The Last of Us is and Gta 5 will be amazing games that if released for the 1st time may actually have battled one another for GotY this yr.

I am one of the few ppl that didn't love Far Cry 3. It was just too repetitive for me I guess...the same thing over and over and over. Hopefully this one is just small story segments in between liberating outpost and towers.

Scrivlar3454d ago

I kinda hated Infamous SS a little bit, I didn't like the characters or story, I hated basically all the powers bar the neon sprint one. I thought the graphics were alright but nothing to rave about, and the city felt pretty bland too, it was basically the same area copied and pasted around eachother with the same side missions but shuffled around a little.

spicelicka3454d ago

What, why would they give it to a remastered game, that's just stupid, specially since it just came out last year.

DeadlyOreo3454d ago

Look at his name. That answers your question.

PlayableGamez3454d ago

Excuse me sir or mam, but the game is not out yet. How would you know?

cj1pate1013454d ago

Lol Bayonetta 2 really lol? Didn't know so many people enjoy shitty devil may cry rip offs.

nucky643454d ago

I don't care about GotY.....I care about having fun - and from everything I read it sounds like farcry4 is going to be LOTS of fun!

Mister_Audrey3454d ago (Edited 3454d ago )

If it's anything like Far Cry 3 with its cardboard, shoe-horned side missions and shoe-horned level up system. It's not GOTY.

spicelicka3454d ago

That's a shoe horned comment

Mister_Audrey3454d ago

It is correct. No one can argue for the side missions in Far Cry 3.

Played and enjoyed Far Cry, Far Cry 3 and 4 campaigns .

-Foxtrot46d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor46d ago

Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.

Profchaos46d ago

I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel

Demetrius46d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger8846d ago (Edited 46d ago )

Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.

I would put 5 above 6 but agree with the other ratings. Though 6 has more refined gameplay compared to 5 it's lack of a compelling story really does hurt it imo but if you are a gameplay fiend and don't really care about story it makes sense.
