I would like to take this time to officially announce Game #77 that will be played on The Gaming Beatdown. Starting December 19th, 2014 it will be FarCry 4. This will be the seventh game of The Empty Wallet-athon 2014.
Only two games remain in this year's Empty Wallet-athon. Following the complition of this game we will have only one more game left to complete for this year. Will not lie every game so far in this year's Empty Wallet-athon have been great, and have had their moments occur during them. Hopefully everyone has enjoyed the selections for this year. I have had a fun time playing through all the games.
Now to talk about the current game that will be played on the channel. FarCry 4, the sequel to one of the best games in 2012 in my opinion being FarCry 3. I will admit if I wasn't doing the Assassin's Creed Marathon back in 2012, you would of seen a playthrough of FarCry 3 on the channel. However plans have changed and I never got around to doing it on the channel. Maybe it will be one for the future of the channel. Because in my opinion if their is one series that Ubisoft does right, it would be the FarCry series. I really enjoy this series a lot more then the Assassin's Creed series now a days from them. FarCry 3 was such a well done game, super polished, fun gameplay, great story, and awesome characters. If you can get it cheep I recommend checking it out. It is truly the Skyrim of FPS games.
So when I heard that FarCry 4 was in the works I was super pumped for it. Excluding the BioShock, and Halo series. FarCry is up there for me in my favorite FPS franchises. I knew for sure this time around I had to do a playthrough of FarCry 4 when It came out. Thankfully the FarCry series isn't story driven so you do not need to worry about playing the other games to get lost in the story unlike the Assassin's Creed games. So this will be a pretty fresh experience to play on the channel.
So with that guys, FarCry 4 is Game #77. It begins on Saturday January 10th, 2015 only on The Gaming Beatdown. In case you missed the announcement trailer for the playthrough. It is available now down below!
