Far Cry 2: Lose A Buddy, Lose Content [Sep 05, 2008, 9:44 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Videogaming247 reports an interesting tidbit about Far Cry 2 they picked up
at the Games convention. Apparently when one of the game's NPC "buddy"
characters meets an untimely demise, the game content associated with that
character dies as well. They quote Patrick Redding, the narrative head on the
shooter follow-up: "That’s the price you pay for having buddies. When I unlock a
buddy like that and then use him, either by getting involved in one of his
missions… or by allowing him to come and rescue me, there’s always a risk that
he could be killed. If he’s killed, he’s gone forever and the content associated
with that character is no long available to me. So for example, any side quests
that he’d be able to give me are no longer available."
I'd respect his opinion more if he wasn't an admitted pirate who manages to find just enough wrong with a game to avoid a purchase but just enough right to play it and criticize it.
Ah, yes, because the way I obtain my games bears so much relevance to the quality of the games themselves...
By that logic, I could argue that you lower your standards to help justify the $50 you waste on games that aren't very good (like Spore).
I have to agree. No offense Jerryk, but you are without question the most jaded, negative PC Gamer I have ever come across. It seems if it isn't 10 years old it sucks according to you. Which is cool; I just know not to trust any review of any game by you newer than a decade!
I like to think of being "jaded" as simply expecting games to have at least the same depth, challenge and sophistication that they had a decade ago. That said, if I praise a new game, there's a very good chance that the game doesn't suck.
