welp i'm done with far cry 3's story mode. holy poo poo that game was embarassing. the bit where citra is praising you and your girlfriend is acting like a screeching harpy begging you to return to normal has to be seen to be believed. i think ubisoft should lay off the whole writing video game stories business. god drat. i don't think i've ever seen racist caricatures of that level in a video game before. voodoo poo poo doesn't even exist in the part of the world you're supposed to be in, and yet you're surrounded by dudes with fake Jamaican accents and gross caricatures of tiki torches and poo poo. gently caress

the point of far cry 3 is that instead of being horrified by what a hosed up psycho he's become, jason finds that being crazy and murdering everything in a violent drug-induced fury actually rules and he doesnt give a poo poo about his old life anymore

It's incredibly disappointing that survival games with zombies get released by the dozens each year, whereas survival games with dinosaurs have gotten left in the dust since Trespasser.

they tried to make a dinosaur game and it turned into Star Fox Adventures. do you really want another game like that on your conscience

they should have gamejams with no advertising involved, don't even stream it. just get a bunch of smart gamer goons together and give them coffee, see what they come up with.

or at least be sponsored by a company less insane than mountain dew, who replaced all the vending machines with mtn dew, even their water, and kept telling people to hold the bottle with the logo aimed at the camera

i think that was the funniest thing about The Tester series, that your prize for having roaches dumped on you and frantically completing arbitrary menial tasks, was a job at sony to QA their games.

people think they will get to play elder scrolls 6 before anyone else or something, and then find out you have to play the mountain of white-noise licensed garbage games that are riddled with bugs you then have to record to get paid

I'll ask here because I'm phone-posting and that makes searching more difficult:

As I understand the series, Metroid Fusion is the last (chronologically) game, and all the other ones of late have been prequels and interquels taking place before Fusion.

What's the reason why they haven't made a proper sequel? A dislike of Fusion? The fact that Fusion alters how Samus looks? I'm not well versed in the series...

Sakamoto doesn't like that people prefer the Prime trilogy to any of his games, and even went so far as to retcon them entirely from the "official" timeline in Other M (which plays out like Prime games never happened). He was also having a hard time accepting that his personal view of Samus' character did not line up with the majority, and got supremely asspained about it.

Needless to say Sakamoto is not in charge of Samus anymore, and Nintendo has assured people future titles will stick to the 2D and Prime formula in the future.
