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."
Frankly your opinion on game quality is entirely meaningless because you're a pirate but that's just me.
I certainly hope it's just you because it's a completely illogical mentality. Player != quality of game.
People like you can't pirate an MMO, there's one reason right there.
Um, yes we can. There are tons of pirate WoW servers.
How about an ongoing revenue stream?
How about a game that isn't completely generic and inferior to its single-player equivalents in every regard?
As a side note, wanting to make more money is not the same thing as greed.
When you're willing to compromise your artistic integrity to make more money than you need, that's greed. Making an FPS on a platform with an inferior control scheme? Greed. Dumbing down a game so it appeals to the lowest common denominator? Greed.
I'd shit myself if you said anything positive about anything other than Stardock, ever.
Better get those diapers ready because I've praised quite a few modern games in various threads around here. Portal, HL:EP2, TR: Legend, TR: Anniversary, the PoP games, STALKER, The Witcher, Penumbra... the list goes on and on.
