Assassin's Creed: Unity The Front-Runner For GotY 2014?

Thanks to the bevy of delays, there's a very good chance that this year's Assassin's Creed will land top honors. Or will Far Cry 4 or Inquisition?

Not even close. Dark Souls II or a first party Nintendo title will get the best reviews.

theshonen88993606d ago (Edited 3606d ago )

This article is ridiculous. How about discussing the qualities of the game currently released (inFAMOUS, Watch Dogs, Titanfall, Mario Kart 8, Dark Souls II) instead of declaring a game we know almost absolutely nothing about as GOTY?

LightDiego3607d ago

I doubt it. Dark Souls 2 finally can win.

F4sterTh4nFTL3607d ago

Batman Arkham Knight will probably win. UbiSoft has the tendency to screw up something in their games that prevents them from being GOTY.

BiggCMan3607d ago

It got delayed to next year buddy D: Sorry.

F4sterTh4nFTL3606d ago

Too bad, it had GOTY written all over it. Anyway my vote is for Dragon Age: Inquisition now. BioWare might just have a surprise masterpiece on their hands.

Sevir3607d ago

When was an Assassin's Creed Game ever Game of the Year?

Seriously this is premature and hardly even feasible! Game of the Year may very well be The Last of Us Remastered, or Destiny.

BiggCMan3607d ago

If Uncharted 2 didn't come out the same year as Assassin's Creed 2, I definitely believe it would have won some GOTY awards. But you just can't compete with the masterpiece of UC2 no matter what you are. AC2 was really outstanding though, I don't think anyone would have been upset at that winning a GOTY from someone. It probably did somewhere.

WeAreLegion3606d ago

ACII won 14 GOTY awards that year.

There was some very stiff competition.

starchild3606d ago

Exactly. Quite a few Assassin's Creed games have scored very well and were possible GOTY options, but when the competition is as good as Uncharted 2, for example, it's not so easy to win.

But this year there isn't nearly as much competition since so many games got pushed back to 2015. I definitely see Assassin's Creed Unity being in the running for GOTY.

LAWSON723606d ago

AC2 was my game of the year

WeAreLegion3607d ago

Destiny is on track for that one.

Other possibilities:
FarCry 4
Dark Souls II

Seriously. That's about it. It's depressing to see this, too.

Unless racing games suddenly have a chance at GOTY. It's highly doubtful though.

anticlimax3606d ago

Dragon Age, Evolve, The division, Alien: isolation, ...
Who knows how good any of these are gonna be. Let's not start guessing halfway through the year.

WeAreLegion3606d ago

You say that Dragon Age and The Division will be out this year.

Evolve, yes. I forgot about Evolve. Turtle Rock is phenomenal. I see some GOTY awards heading their way for that one.

I Played Assassin’s Creed Unity Almost 10 Years Later. It’s (Kinda) Spectacular

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

andy8536d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate

Five small but brilliant maps in games

Small video game maps that are packed with things to do are better than huge but empty maps. Here are five small but brilliant maps in games.

Why Assassin’s Creed Unity remains one of the best games in the series

GF365: "Since the first Assassin’s Creed game, there have been entries up until now. There are more than a few titles that are far from an ideal stealth game. Let’s discuss why 2014’s Assassin’s Creed Unity is one of the best games in the series."

Glitchy as hell and flat story, nah this aint it. AC2, brotherhood and 4 were amazing games in every respective

Furesis514d ago

Yeah i would say brotherhood and 4 were the best for me. I have not played the new ones and Unity was my last one. Seems like i made a good choice.

DarXyde514d ago

I gave up after Revelations. Just couldn't bring myself to care anymore and I got burned out of the gameplay.

Definitely agree on 2 and Brotherhood though. Great games.

YourMommySpoils514d ago

A Ubisoft AC game that's not glitchy? That will be the day.

Knightofelemia515d ago

After constant glitches Arno being boring nah I am good I skipped Unity. I will always like the Ezio trilogy, Black Flag, Rogue, Odyssey, Syndicate. I use to love the franchise but now it feels stale and boring. But my list of favorite entries into the franchise will vary from other players favorite entries.

RaidenBlack515d ago

Odyssey is a really well-made RPG game ... but it ain't a proper AC game, even though its part of the lore

ToddlerBrain514d ago

It’s funny because, at launch, it was universally panned for being unplayable. It’s a great game that holds up today. I’m glad they fixed it.

staticall514d ago

The only good things i remember from Unity are pretty graphics and really good descending mechanics (even though it sometimes didn't make much sense, when your character can drop down from like 10 meter height onto a flagpole perfectly).

Game is glitchy to this day, i was playing in it years after the release date (with all the DLCs) and it's still broken. You had to reload missions too often for my taste (characters do not spawn, you fall through the floor, getting stuck in falling/sitting/aiming animation, hidden blade stop working, assassination target running away at the start of the mission). Story was meh, searching for all the treasures wasn't enjoyable at all. Coop was pretty much useless, i've beaten every coop mission in solo. Helix rifts were awful as well.

Not saying i hate this game or anything, but it got too many problems.

Assassin's Creed (i know it's a controversial opinion) and Assassin's Creed 2 are still great to this day.

anast514d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
