Xbox Store Leaker Unearths Far Cry 6 Expansion & 'GOTY' Upgrade Pass

I’m just going to copy and paste my comment from Push Square:

I dislike articles like this because it’s just an excuse for people to make fun of an (actually good) game even if they haven’t played it, just because everyone else is.

I know Ubisoft deserves its flack, and I know there are issues with Far Cry 6, and, of course, people will constantly bring up, “It’s just Far Cry 3, same map, just different characters” and all of those types of comments, but there games are fun.
Sometimes, that’s all a game needs to be: Fun.

I love my narrative driven games just as much as the next person. However, sometimes I just want to turn my brain off, not care, and just blow some s*** up. I don’t always need a GOTY contender. At the end of the day, gaming is a form of entertainment. Ubisoft makes some entertaining games.

@BlackMayge I agree with everything you said I didn't start playing farcry until 4 but 4,5,6 were a lot of fun I personally think 5 had one of the best game opening ever.

@BlackMayge Hey, at least our angle was around the expansion and the leak itself (I thought I was quite forgiving with the headline tbh 😅)
I agree that these types of games have their merit, although FC has become a little bloated even as someone who likes the series generally. Still, a GOTY label is a stretch, could easily call it a complete edition or something along those lines.

@Kezelpaso Hey, I agree, the focus here is about the expansion rather than the quality of the game itself!

I haven't played this one yet, so I can't comment on the GOTY moniker.

But, hey, maybe this is the GOTY for some friends of the devs, and who we are to deny them this pleasure?

I already played the game to the end (from free weekend). overall it's not a bad game, but it's not that good either. it lacked humor that 3, 4, 5 has; however the story is quite enjoyable.

I enjoyed Far Cry 6, I thought 4 was better personally, but it wasn't bad by any means

Far Cry 6 is good fun, very good fun. GOTY? Not by a wide margin. I believe we can all agree Power Wash Simulator is the GOTY that none of us deserved, but got.

I enjoyed the actual game it was the dlc I didn't enjoy at all,they were just copy and paste of the same dlc but with different characters ,a complete waste of money for me

I liked far cry 6 just fine. The issue with "game of the year" discussions is that people want it to be one choice universally recognized by everyone. I don't think people realize that there are hundreds if not thousands of publications that declare their own game of the year. As push square noted, there were a couple obscure publications that did have far cry 6 as game of the year so it is technically accurate when they use this marketing trick.

Personally I wish we could do away with the whole discussion since it is so subjective. Every game is someone's game of the year. This article just reminds me that I will get headaches in the coming months as people argue extensively on their opinion for this illusion of game of the year.

@PanFriedSoup agree with Powerwash Simulator, although Hardship Shipbreaker is creeping up there, such an amazing game also, love Far Cry 6, but no not goty, Powerwash Simulator for now, runner up that older ring thing

I'm guessing it's this games Blood Dragon/Primal/New Dawn thing. Which would be cool, I usually enjoy these genre shifts

If that expansion is another purchase ON TOP OF people will have to make after already hitting the ultimate edition - - I'd be pissed!!!

@BlackMayge I’m a fan of the series and love “The Ubisoft Formula”, I also bought and played this game in full. But I got to say, even as a fan, there is no world I would call this game “game if the year”. It was an average game, maybe but under average even within Ubisoft formula games.
