So Ubisoft is only using the designation as a marketing gimmick to drum up interest in a game that has seen its sales dip considerably since release.
The bottom line is that while FC6 was a good game, it was up against some stiff competition and never won Game of the Year. NAVGTR was the only organization to nominate it for a GOTY, but it lost to Deathloop.
However, it only won Outstanding Lead Performance in a Drama for Giancarlo Esposito's portrayal of dictator Anton Castillo and Outstanding Graphics/Technical. The National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers (NAVGTR) gave it a bunch of nominations. It earned three nominations at The Game Awards but didn't take home a trophy. It was nominated for Best Music at BAFTA but lost to Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. However, it was nowhere close to my favorite game of 2021, and its award wins reflect that. It mostly follows the franchise's winning formula. Far Cry 6 does not share this distinction. These special edition bundles are often at or below the game's original MSRP.įinally, GOTY editions, at least those I have purchased, actually won a Game of the Year award at some show or expo, be it BAFTA, Dice, The Game Awards Show, or other well-recognized organizations. It is also throwing in three cosmetic/weapon packs. Far Cry 6 GOTY bundle consists of all currently available DLC, the upcoming Lost Between Worlds expansion, and strangely, the 2013 Far Cry 3 expansion, Blood Dragon. More often than not, the GOTY version includes Some or all of the already released DLC. They typically come out around a year after the title's initial release. I've observed that game-of-the-year editions usually have a few things in common.
We don't want to encourage this type of marketing. Several things make this version of the game weird, which I will touch on, but the main takeaway should be: Don't buy it.
WTF?! Far Cry 6 Game of the Year (GOTY) Edition launches on Friday as an inexplicably strange bundle and costs $120.
