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."
Again, what does that have to do with the quality of games?
Frankly your opinion on game quality is entirely meaningless because you're a pirate but that's just me.
MMOs are derivative crap. I really wish they would all just disappear. Again, why make an MMORPG when you can make a much better single-player RPG? Oh, right, greed. Everybody looks at WoW and says "Hey! We want that kind of cashcow!"
The pirate asks why they make MMO's? Oh that's just grand. People like you can't pirate an MMO, there's one reason right there. How about an ongoing revenue stream? There's another one. I agree that MMO's are derivative but that's the nature of that genre, each builds on the last game or expansion. Besides, it's already the largest segment of PC gaming which means people like you and I are in the minority.
As a side note, wanting to make more money is not the same thing as greed. Who are you to say how much money they should be allowed to make mister pirate? It's a delicious bit of irony when the guy who is stealing calls someone else greedy.
How exactly am I "trolling" FC2? Is it because I don't think that killable NPCs is a big deal? I've stated in numerous threads that I think FC2 has potential and I've never, ever said "This game is going to suck."
All you do is troll PC gaming man, give it a rest already. You can dance around the semantics of what you said but all you do is bitch and whine about how PC games suck because they're not as good as games from 10 years ago. If Stardock games are so amazing then go play them and stop dumping on every other game for not fulfilling your nostalgia needs of old games.
I'd shit myself if you said anything positive about anything other than Stardock, ever.
