Far Cry a lock for GOTY?

You might try doing that yourself, chief. You've generalized all FPS/Action games, so why shouldn't I do the same with RPG's.

By the way, Xenosaga is more of an interactive movie than it is a videogame.

1) Been playing FPSs since Wolfenstien 3D [still have my sharewares], and I don't think I said anything that isn't 'generally' true. And I didn't generalize the entire genre, I generalized D3, HL2, and the general preferance of FPS players [that being gameplay over story]. This is one of those times where reading = your friend.

2) 8 hours of cutscenes vs 40 hours of gameplay....oh ya, you're being real objective...chief.

Metal Gear Solid had 4 hours of cutscenes and 4 hours of gameplay yet I rarely recall anyone bitching about it. Selective bitching aye?

Ya, if you're a Final Fantasy whore. There are a great deal of rpg series out there, Xenosaga, Breath of Fire, Tales of [], Growlanser, Arc the Lad, Persona, Wild Arms, Star Ocean, SaGa, Chrono, Seiken Densetsu, Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts, ActRaiser, Front Mission, Dark Cloud, etc etc....I could go on but I'm guessing I've lost all you 'rpg = save the princess' types already. Contrary to ignorant belief, FF isn't the pinnacle of japanese rpgs. Might I suggest you *GASP* actually bother to play a few before condemning the whole lot of them.

As for FPSs, they don't really need deep engrossing stories. That's not what people play them for. So you'll have to forgive me if I mention that occasionally when people ride [insert FPS here] for not having a story up to the Half-Life standard. In the future I shall strive to cast the FPS genre in a Halo of perfection. :rolleyes:

I have no idea what you just say so go cast some spells :p
 
You mean the ones where young, feminine guys battle their homosexuality, fall in love with the beautiful girl that looks just like them (But with long hair), and overcome a beast that has plagued an entire nation with the help of several unlikely friends?

as long as it's taking them... I am certain it's one of the things that is being worked on.
 
Far Cry is definiatly a strong contendant. Don´t know what game released this year can match it.

yeah there working on porting regular cs to teh source (hl2) engine and also working on cs2 which will be new /differnt wont come out for who knows how long. Hopefully the cs port will come out shipped wiht hl2.. but it probably wont.

as for GOTY, i frankly dont give a shit i will be buying d3 and hl2 (already got farcry, ut2k4, bf:v) and ill play them all, like them all enjoy multiplayer of them all and will end up only playing one game after there all finished and taht will be ...... counter-strike :D
 
Just playing the demo, FarCry is good. Took me awhile to actually get past the first little bits, but I have gotten into it and it's really pretty good. If I had the money, I'd probably pick it up, but I don't. It's definitely got something added with the aiming setup. It's nice to see a solid SP FPS for once. Lately, I've been picking up a few older titles because there's not been much that I've gotten too excited about.

You FOOLS! John Romero shall come down from the sky and own all with Daikatana.




edit: check out my postcount, lol.
 
Far Cry really is a great game. It came out of nowhere, at least for me, and did things lots of people said were no longer possible. I heard lots of developers say that cutting edge games will all be shorter with smaller levels (like DX2). Along came Far Cry with probably the hugest levels I have ever seen and with at least 20 hours of playing time.

Plus, the game is the prettiest game I have ever seen. Hands Down. The detail is amazing. Birds, wind, grass, fish, waves, shadows, lights. Plus for such a detailed game, it plays very well. Only once, when I had a screenful of Trigens and mercs, did I notice any slowdown at all.

The story is pretty standard fare, but it has great atmosphere. I have not finished the whole game yet, but it really reminds me of the first Half Life, in a good way. Lots of scripted sequences that are very well done. Some really great levels, few really bad ones.

In short, the bar has been raised. I would love for this game NOT to be GOTY since that would mean we get some even better games in the next few months.

There is always roome for more great games, IMO. I still have pretty big expectations for HL2. D3 will probably disappoint though.
 
Yes I can´t understand how they can go away with it without no loading times at all :eek:

I did aspect a lot but what I didn´t expect was that I could use as high settings as I can with my modest 9800 PRO. Didn´t expect being able to max out everything at 1024x768 with the amount of detail the Far Cry engine promised...
 
We should all sit back and stop talking about GOTY until after May when E3 has come and gone. Then we can start speculating. After that point we should have a good idea of the fate of Doom III and HL2.

their probably working on the assumption that if there hardcore nerds they'll be intelligent and make lots of money. Little do they know that their lots of money turns to a normal amount when you have to pay for sex on a daily basis.

I know, and I said earlyer on this thread, that World of Warcraft and City of Heros are also good contenders for GOTY.
 
Also, although Far Cry is a great game and pretty as hell, SC: Pandora Tomorrow already ranks higher in my book.

SC: Pandorra Tomorrow demo ran like ass on my sig and played just about exactly like SC. Which is of course good but since we already got SC it´s no revolution anymore. But I have heard the SC: Pandora Tomorrow MP is something out of this world so I gotta check it out. I hope it´s included in the demo. I loved Splinter Cell
