Farcry 4 is Flop too ( 7.0 on GS ) lol.

UBISOFT did it again thrice AC Unity, Rouge now Farcry 4 lol ( Also Watch Dogs in my personal opinion as it was pretty unoptimsed on PC and a mediocre sandbox game ).

In short review by Kevin : Awful story, awful characters, questionable themes.

Who's picking it up? I'll wait till price drop now.

Discuss :)

FLOP

ubi is 1 big flop this year

and still people buy their crap so who actually wins ? Nubi soft!!

Was there even a SW hype thread for Far Cry 4?

Awful story, awful characters, questionable themes?

How is it technically compared to Unity?

I still want to play it.

THE GOOD

A big world filled with ways to create your own excitement

Cooperative play opens up fun new options

Great economy keeps you moving and exploring

THE BAD

Awful story, awful characters, questionable themes

Constant nagging at odds with the freeform sandbox

Who cares about story, characters and themes, it's mf Farcry lol. It's an exploration game.

Get it later on sale, I'm sure I'll enjoy it for what it is

And this gen keeps on disappointing.... was not hyped for the game anyway but I was expecting at least a 8.

Time to stop gaming I guess. Every new release sucks or is not working properly.

Yeah this year has been pretty shit all around. Even the Alpha I was looking for fucking bombed worse than anything I have seen (Evolve alpha ended up unplayable on PS4). It really has been remasters that have been the peak for me, besides new Madden and MLB the Show.

Next year looks to be fucking CRAZY though. Should be a very exciting year for every console!

What does questionable themes mean?

In my opinion 2014 not so bad

BEST SHOOTER : WOLFENSTEIN THE NEW ORDER

TPS: THE EVIL WITHIN AND GTAV V ON NEXT GEN SYSTEMS

RPG: DARK SOULS II AND DRAGON AGE INQUISITION

ACTION ADVENTURE : SHADOW OF MORDOR

Only way to get a solid game now a days is to go indie. Too much money pinching going on at this big AAA studios and it's starting to get passed down to the consumers with micro transactions and shit products.. either the price of games has to go up ( and we don;t complain) or we need to expect less from studios now a days. As it's clear they aren't willing to deliver a solid product unless it's guaranteed to make money..

We need to riot in the digital streets of our games.

@kuu2: it hurt his feeling and made him feel uncomfortable.

The term SJWs use for this is "problematic"

And because of gamers like you, we'll always have to settle with mediocrity. It is a 7.0 game so I guess I can't argue with you like I did with Unity, but keep buying mediocrity and Ubisoft will keep on churning them. Disgusting.

I'm not entirely surprised about the score, but it still looks like it has some fun in the box.

I'll just wait for the $10 full game & DLC package on steam again like I did with Farcry 3! :D

This only mean 1 thing, need to fix it up for AC7 and FC5.

Why is it because people play what they enjoy we're stuck with mediocrity?
Isn't the point of games to play them and enjoy them? Sorry but this statement is completely wrong.

People can buy whatever the hell they want.

Do you realize that 7 means is a Good Game right?

Not in transitions phase after honeymoon.

Times are changing, and if ubisoft thing change means more of the same, then the 7 will shrink to a 6,and so forth.

Still better than the MCC.

Does this mean that morally he felt conflicted over the game?

If so the guy should be fired.

yeah, ok, a 7 is a a bad game to play, which this game is still sitting in mid 80's overall. Golly, I'm such a bad person. Guess Smash on 3DS is a piece of shit then?

Yeeeeeeeeees! Ubi AC130'd us with their garbage in 2014. Thank you Ubisoft.

Completely with you there dude, i actually enjoyed Too human, colonial marines and AVP.

Just because it's not the reviewers cup of tea doesn't mean it's not mine.

I am surprised that there hasnt been any high scored games this year except a few but to be honest some low scored games are really fun like Destiny for example.

Beginning to think that what reviewers like and what gamers like to play are two completely different things.

I think Kevin gets a boner when he flops things.....I will still check this game out

I was on the fence with this one. Now I my groin is crushed on the fence rail. Technically I am still on the fence.

Woah. So almost every big name PS4 and Xbox One game so far has has flopped?

I'm sorry, but I find that funny.

PS: Does 7 really count as a flop? I guess it does for a big game?

It means that devs don't need to push themselves to make products that sell. COD is a prime example of a cut-paste job year on year that continues to sell.

The negatives in Kevins review are also entirely subjective and therefore down to individual personal preference. Just because He found some themes questionable does that mean me and @Heil68 give a shit?

Just because the characters are awful does that mean everybody will find them awful, is it possible they are intentionally unlikeble, over the top and created specifically to split the audience and the reviewer missed the joke like Carolyn and the misogyny nonsense with GTA V.

You cant criticise your fellow gamer for purchasing a product they want to play. Its their choice and ultimately them who gets lumbered with a potentially poor product. IF you feel that strongly continue to vote with your wallet and perhaps other people will follow suit.

Il be buying Farcry 4 because it looks fun. Couldnt care less about one reviewers ethical stance on the themes or how he feels about characterisation. I want to ride an elephant into a camp, flip some vehicles, detonate some mines and flee on a gyro copter. Is that wrong?

You can buy whatever you want but then you start acting like babies because the games slowly become worse. Why should Ubisoft even try if you keep buying them. Next time, it'll probably be Assassin's Creed: Beta, but who cares because you'll eat it up like mindless drones. What you should be getting is great quality games all the time, not semi garbage.

(OK, I admit Far Cry 4 is probably not that bad, but the Assassin's Creed debacle still upsets me)

It seemed more like a Far Cry 3.5 than anything and I've finished Far Cry 3 like bit less than months ago, so...

Hopefully I'm going to get a reviewer's copy, because sure as hell I'm not going to buy it.

You're definitely not wrong. I am just still reeling about Assassin's Creed: Unity. I have lost this battle, but I'LL BE BACK!

This year was great for PC gamers.

Gamespot has been relentless these past few months. Hopefully LBP3 can help save November.

That doesn't matter if the game is considered to be a Good Game.

All i'm saying is that a 7 is still a good game, and it's treated like if this was an unplayable mess, whenever it scores a 6, a 5 or even a 2, then we have problems.

Bad year for Ubi. They were kings of last year and considered by some the savior of e3 2014. Now they can't catch a break.

I was never expecting a score above 7 to be honest... It's just going to be FC3 with a different setting to me.

Exactly. I admit, I gave @Heil68 sh!t for the wrong game, Far Cry 4 prolly still good we'll see. But Assassin's Creed Unity THOUGH?! That game got so much criticism, yet gamers gobble it up. Now next year's edition is probably going to be something even worse. But the fact remains, yes you can play what you want but don't cry when the game gets really bad. Why should developers continue to try if whatever they sh!t out, you just buy it. Is it going to take a 2/10 like Sonic to get the point across. This is why we can't have nice and beautiful things.

is gamestop tanking every game?

they will fail eventually.

Who knows how long that will be, but whatever. On that note though, Advanced Warfare feels like a refresh so I like it.

I agree

But one can't stop gamers from playing what they wish to play. For example in OCT AC Unity, Rouge, FC 4 came out. If they don't buy and play these games, what else they gonna play? Its not that more AAA games released on OCT apart from Dragon Age inquisition. But main thing is many gamers also ( Including me and you and others ) became cautious about Ubisoft games and stopped buying them day 1 for shitty optimisation or same old wine in a new bottle. Ubisoft not getting our money is a loss already for Ubisoft :)

This seems oxymoronic...

OT: Oh well. I'll still get it.

dont worry guys, far cry 5 will release next year and ubiflop will fix all the problems. go ubi
