    Far Cry 4 - incredible experience, insane fun... Game of the Year candidate.

    Up next

    Hot candidates:

    Uncharted: Thieve's End
    Dragon Age: Inquisition
    Watch Dogs 2
    GTA V

    Long shots:
    Days Gone
    Life is Strange
    RDR 2
    Subnautica

    I have no idea what I'll do. Looks like a split-second decision when that time comes.

    But I will probably give myself a break from non-sports gaming for a week or two, because I feel like Far Cry 4 definitely is a game that deserves the right amount of time to properly sink in.

    Meanwhile I still have the first season of my World Snooker Championship career going on and maybe dive back into NHL 21 and even Madden 21 for a day or two (or three).

    Minnesota Timberwolves

      A lot of people feel FC3 is the best in the series and I loved it but personally for me FC4 was my GOAT in the series followed by FC3 and Primal.

      That Gyrocopter…..lord the fun I had chucking grenades. Death from above!!!!

      Just an awesome game! Agree 100%

        I actually could not bomb anybody from that gyrocopter to save my life. But hell flying it was fun!

        I gave FC3 a loooong look a couple of times already but unlike FC4 it was not translated and while obviously it's not a big deal, part of what made FC4 such fun was the fact that I could 100% concentrate on what was happening on screen, instead of bothering what was everybody talking about all the time.

        Primal looks great too but I absoutely fell in love with all the guns in FC4. I changed the guns and the skins literally everytime I got to a liberated outpost or met the wandering guy who selled stuff.

        I am already looking forward to FC5 and New Dawn. Both look great, amazing collection of guns... Only thing I am concerned about is that the main character does not speak.

        I mean, Ajay wasn't exactly a trash-talker but the fact that he muttered a word or two from time to time made him all that more believable... and with him, the whole story.

          FC5 and New Dawn were good…..but no outposts. They are definitely different.

          I love the outposts. To me that is what made it incredibly fun.

          Primal IMO is amazing. I think you would enjoy that a lot more than FC5 and New Dawn.

            I already have an insane backlog and two thirds of it are massive open worlds...

            But it definitely is a never say never kind of thing, that's for sure.

              Exactly the same for me. I do believe that Vaas is the better antagonist than Pagan Min but is only in the first half of Far Cry 3 which hurts it and the verticality in Far Cry 4 in my opinion give it the edge.

                Far Cry 4 > Far Cry 3 > Far Cry Primal > Far Cry 6 > Far Cry 5 > Far Cry New Dawn in my opinion.

                  I guess I'm the only one still on PS3, lol.

                  Just started up GTA IV/TLAD/TBoGT. I always play the missions from all three in chronological order. It's more fun that way.

                  Also started up San Andreas on my PS2 for the umpteenth time.

                    I'm one of those weirdos that still hasn't played Far Cry 3. Lol! Loved 4, liked Primal, and didn't really care for 5 much at all. The "Cull the Herd" missions just zapped all of the fun out of the game. From what I've seen of 6, if I ever decide to get it, I'll wait until it's like 10 bucks or something down the line.

                        Far Cry 3 is awesome. You really should play it before it becomes too outdated unless of course, that doesn't affect you.

                          Got that as a Black Friday deal. FIFA and NHL didn't drop enough, so I went with this. It'll probably be a bit before I dive into it, because I'm having a lot of fun with Fallout 76, but this will be next and hopefully tides me over until Horizon releases.

                            I keep trying to make myself buy it when it's cheap, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. You're right, tho. I need to get it before it feels outdated. Having a PS5,now makes older games feel that way a lot sooner.

                                I think I'm done for 2021. I ended up buying 11 games this year and also snagged two freebies. End result was just adding to my PS4 backlog. I really don't need a PS5 anytime soon. Here's how I'd rank them:

                                1. Kena: Bridge of Spirits
                                I've actually paused playing this for a bit, but will get back to it soon. And it's a really tough call between this and my #2 game, but I'll give Kena the slight edge.

                                2. Final Fantasy VII Remake
                                Played the original back in 1997, but didn't grab the remake until the end of summer sale. I could have easily put this at #1. Currently playing it now and I hope to finish it over the holidays. Then it's back to Kena.

                                3. MLB The Show 21
                                Easily my most played game. Also my favorite in the series. I'm about to finish the 2021 regular season. I'll be playing this all winter and won't pick up another MLB game until I move to the PS5.

                                4. Street Fighter V
                                Another one I picked up on sale over the summer. I've enjoyed it way more than I thought I would, especially as an offline solo player.

                                5. NBA 2K21
                                I picked this up on sale back in January. Played it a ton the first half of the year, but not much once summer hit. I've got about 20 games to go to finish the 2021 season, so I'm hoping to get back into this.

                                6. Madden 22
                                Pre-ordered this, which was a mistake since I wound up waiting for the scouting update before starting my franchise. I think this may be one of the better Maddens in awhile, but I'm not as excited about the series as I once was.

                                7. F1 2021
                                I've barely played this, although I can tell it's a great game from what I have played. Another one I'm hoping to spend more time with over the winter.

                                8. Guilty Gear Strive
                                I have a love/hate relationship with this game. It's different from other fighters I have, which is a good thing.

                                9. Ninja Gaiden Master Collection
                                Yet another one I need to back to. It has NG, NG2 and NG Razor's Edge. I started the first one over the summer and got sidetracked.

                                10. Virtual Fighter 5
                                A good solid fighting game. But there's very little for a solo offline player to do. I should have done more research before buying this.

                                11. Madden 21
                                Picked this up with 2K back in January. For whatever reason, it just never clicked for me. I barely played it.

                                NR. Horizon Zero Dawn
                                Everybody raves about this game, but I've never been that interested in it. Still, when it was available for free back in the spring, I added it to my library. But I have yet to even download it.

                                NR. Ratchet and Clank
                                Pretty much the same story with this as it is for HZD.
