What a time to be alive

I know this has been a thing for a while now. Some obscure blogger lists a decidedly mediocre game as their GOTY and publishers run with the ball...

But c'mon... Far Cry 6?

Pretty much every game is somebody's GotY, and "Game of the Year" edition hasn't been tied to any actual awards for quite some time now. That bugs me less than "ultimate editions" that have less content than later or even contemporary versions. That's just not what "ultimate" means.

Looks like their lackluster sales failed to cover the cost of Giancarlo Espositos acquisition.

Now, they trying to scrounge up more money for the Pollo Hermanos.

I thought it was fun for a while, but it suffers from the "Ubisoft Open-World Bloat" that's been plaguing their games lately. I'm not a Ubisoft hater or anything, but their games are all getting kinda stale imho. They're like the Madden franchise but with action games

Yeah this. I get that Far Cry, and practically every other game under the sun, has dedicated fans but it's laughable that Ubisoft is putting out a GOTY edition for this game.

But at least this edition seemingly includes all the content for the game so that addresses your Ultimate Edition point.

Actually maybe that's not true. Supposedly it includes all the DLC but I wonder if there's cosmetics and items that aren't included in that $120 price tag

Yeah; as far as usually choosing mediocre games as GOTY Id say they were right on the mark for choosing Far Cry 6. Ive enjoyed every Far Cry game since 3 but this one just felt hollow to me.

I dont remember the game being that great, so game if the year bundle is weird.

But it does include the game, a lot of dlc, and a new expansion. It might have the 120 of "value".

Its dumb, but not absurdly

Wouldn't surprise me if UbiSoft has bot accounts pushing their games
