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."
The Witcher has the most basic, dumbed down combat I've ever seen in an RPG
I disagree with that. There were MANY options of how to play combat, which weapons to use against which enemy types, 4 or 5 magic schools, having to pay attention to combat and react to keep your combos going.
I'd say that's far deeper than say Baldurs Gate, which does the above, but you watched combat unfold, pausing every now and then to change targets, use an item, cast a spell etc.
STALKER indeed was a mess, and still is. Hardly a good example for Jerykk on how to make a game right. Myself I'm currently trying yet again to play through un-modded simply because the game saves will NOT load with any mod installed at the moment. Playing the start area for about the 10th time.
