I got my younger brother Bioshock, Bioshock Infinite, Deus Ex, Human Revolution, Terraria, and both Portal games to introduce him to really good games. A good video game sampler that's not Soldier Front.

His response was "No Garrys Mod?"

So, anyone ever tried the alternate ending for FC4? How do you feel about it?

It feels great and is obviously the canon ending. Who on earth in their right mind would care enough about a country that they'd never even been in before to actively join a revolution and become a murderer? You're solely there because of your mother's last wish, so there's no reason to go dick around after you've been given food and hospitality (seeing people die and get tortured in front of you notwithstanding). The fact that everybody in the game EXCEPT for Pagan Min is a huge rear end in a top hat (he's just a small one) just reinforces it.

Hell, if you let him live in the end if you played the game, he's basically all, "Welp! I'm sorry my running the country didn't work out (poo poo's tougher than it looks), have fun running it into the ground yourself." and just flies off into the sunset. What's that? Don't believe his story at all? Then shoot down his helicopter at the end.Find the wreck and search his corpse; he has an item on him that proves everything he claimed. He doesn't even do the cliched villain thing of trying to kill the hero after getting their guard down from sympathy or anything.

Hmm yes, an abusive trigger-happy dictator with a personality cult around himself is totally not a big rear end in a top hat, just a small one.

So, fairly early in the game, you're accosted while heading to lay your mother's ashes to rest. You get picked up by the ruler of the country and brought to his palace, where he serves you up some delicious food. He leaves to deal with some business, and this is when the game prompts you to go and explore the place, resulting in you playing the game. Alternatively, you can stay in the dining room until he comes back. If you stay until he comes back, he brings you straight to the end of the game via helicopter, where you can bypass all that bullshit to just place your mother's ashes next to someone that Pagan Min claims is the infant child between him and your mother, and that it was your own father who killed this baby. He further claims that your mother is the one who killed your father. Since both your father and mother are now dead, there's really nobody to corroborate this story, so you're left wondering if your mother and the dictator were actually lovers. It certainly would explain why he treats you so courteously, why he's so angry at the soldier he kills at the bus stop (he's actually concerned for your well-being), and why he doesn't pull the getthehero'sguarddownthenshootthemintheback scheme if you play the game to its conclusion.

If you shoot down his helicopter as he's leaving, you can find his corpse later on. You find an engraved pen that reads "For my love, (whatever the MC's mom's name is)"

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.

I see Hero Siege is up for a vote. Despite being janky and unpolished it's one of the funnest, most addictive games I've played in the last few years, especially co-op. It's like a weird mix of tower defense, bullet hell, and RPG. Definitely worth a buy, and the developer updates it fairly regularly.

There's really nothing that bad about Origin, even though it comes from that evil empire EA and not the honorable corporation of light Valve.
