If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
Oh, another brilliant thing, They make a crack about "the definition of insanity" during the first mission :allears:

The beginning is annoying like Farcry3, but then it opens up to a big open world island and things get pretty sweet. Why does Farcry3 keep insisting on linear story missions? Its complete anathema to what the game is best at. Horrible design. Just give me a goal and let me loving accomplish it however I want. Maybe its an engine limitation of the scripting for missions? :/

We got some serious shit to discuss.

Also, that thing about the serum that would make you more like Sloan? Sloan is, naturally, the man who trained you, who has defected and become evil, and has injected himself with Blood Dragon DNA to become even more powerful. I couldn't see it too well in the cutscenes, but I'm pretty sure he has a dinosaur arm.

15 bucks, including the soundtrack??? I just smashed the buy button harder than a semi truck smashing through a freeway embankment onto the Los Angeles River.

I'm honestly tempted to buy extra copies and just hand them out like candy to my friends. I've already yelled at the friends I knew would like it and they've pre-ordered as well.

I truly want Ubisoft rewarded for this. They've gone from being the company I boycotted for bullshit DRM to being pretty reasonable and actually taking a risk on a zany game idea? WTF? :confused: Well, I'll take it.

I agree, I was thinking "hey Ubisoft is kinda cool" earlier today from not only Blood Dragon but from the news that they are rebooting Flashback: The Quest for Identity which was one of my favorite Genesis games.

Eh, I dunno man, I really don't like it when they reboot old IP from the 90s...

That's true, but they were all still open world games set in exotic jungly tropical locales (I guess the first one wasn't proper open world but you still had a lot of freedom). This seems like a more linear scifi shooter with an 80's vibe

I've been watching the response to Blood Dragon on 2ch, Japan's big messageboard, and so few people seem interesting. Just a few posters in the various FC3 threads are like "this is awesome guys, give it a look seriously" but getting next to no response. Poor Japan, they don't know what is awesome.
More like cyber ninja super warriors leaping tall buildings and shooting neon arrows at everything is just same old poo poo everyday life for the Japanese. FC3BD is probably like some "Hello Kitty's Adventures In Elementary School" G-rated educational game for them. Duh.

I seriously think this was just an oversight on Ubi's part, they did a lot to change his generic lines as the game goes on to reflect his new badassery, but just forgot to change the skinning animals lines I guess.

John Marston did that too.

Some things you never quite get used to I guess!

Edit: I guess also it's lot less fun when you haven't driven a carload of friends out to hunt for fun. These two are just trying to save some people they care about and all the murders, crimes, chases and shitheads they have to deal with isn't enough! Nooooo now you gotta kill things and skin 'em.
