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."
They work equally well on the PC if you have a gamepad.
Thanks for making my point.
M&KB is the superior control scheme for shooters. This is not debatable.
I agree. Doesn't mean they can't work for consoles too.
If you forsake the PC platform and instead design a shooter for a console...you are limiting the potential of the game
No. If you design a shooter for the console and design it to play the exact same way on a PC instead of tuning the gameplay and controls, that's the developers failing, not the consoles or the control schemes.
That is greed.
Games are made to make money, sooner you can wrap your head around that, the happier you will be. Sooner you grow up and get in the real world, the sooner you will figure it out. The world revolves around people spending money and making money.
It's up to the developer/publisher to properly design the games for each platform, whatever platform. Constantly making broad generalizations about specific platforms dilutes your arguments which, in my opinion are misplaced.
