I was thinking more along the lines that most devs would never consider a gay man "tough" enough are scary enough to be a villain, and to do so would be a huge step forward.

which is it? WHICH IS IT? are gay men tough enough to be villains or are they vain and so perfect villains? we need to figure out a new pop controversy before 2014 is over

Man, Volgin in Snake Eater was pretty gay and also goddamn tough and scary enough to be a villain. And the gayness neither impacted upon nor informed his villainy.

TIL that video games are just entering the 80's era of minority representation where it would be a huge step forward for the singular gay male character in a story to be a constantly overtly flamboyant murderous dictator who still totes boned a woman guys.

Hey, baby steps, it might come off as tasteless, but there's literally never been a tasteful representation of gay men in video games ever so it's okay.

Bill or whatever his name was in The Last of Us was a decent character who just happened to be gay. Other than that... I guess that one dude in Mass Effect 3?

Bill was pretty good and ME3 was uh, admirable in its attempts, at least.

I still stand by my badly-demonstrated point that Pagan being gay would be about as big of a step forward as Javier Bardem's character in Skyfall feeling up James Bond to set up some slightly awkward comedy.

Compared to most of the lunatics you run into he's one of the few that doesn't treat you like complete poo poo. Plus he gives you a mission where you hunt a mythical fish with a grenade launcher so he's a-ok in my book.

That mission got me the M79 unlocked early, too, instantly making Chiffon the best person in all of Kyrat.

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
For anyone doing a second playthrough, I'm really enjoying it going the extreme opposite of how I did it the first time around, and this time on Hard, which was explore everything then do main story content. This time around I have only captured a few outposts(at different ends of the maps to give some fast travel, and the amount needed to unlock the skill) and unlocked no radar towers beyond the first.

Not fast traveling is helping give me my own little challenges. I unlocked the North, then decided to take the outpost 2 outposts south of Pagan Min's fortress. Traveling from the village fast travel point to that outpost to take it was a challenge in itself. Sustained firefights, animal attacks, randomly dying when your wingsuit doesn't deploy; took me about a dozen reloads that involved trying various different routes to get there until I finally made it.

It's these type of things I liked in Far Cry 3 as well but they're actually better in Far Cry 4 because the world is more interesting to navigate. Only some of the mountain areas of 3 felt interesting to wander around.

My bar for a good 'gay' villain is Milo from The Last Boy Scout. Even though it was never *said* he was gay, it didn't matter. Dude was straight up evil.

"Is there a problem here?" "Yes, officer, as a matter of fact there is a problem, apparently there are too many bullets in this gun."

Also, the only way to get the KFW quests complete before taking down Pagan is to take out his fortress while he's still in power.

Bhadra gets to stay (provided you pick the right demagogue). Pretty much the only mistake she makes is assuming Ajay is capable of making a good decision, because she knows Amita and Sabal are both assholes.

Eh, in Ubisoft's case, I can see why someone might want to opt for the console release just for stability. FC4's the best PC port Ubisoft Kiev's managed to squirt out, but I'm pretty sure the only reason it's not downright terrible is because most of the legwork was already done with FC3. They still managed to cock up a whole bunch of hilariously basic optimization, most of which they will probably never fix, while the community works around it by changing some basic number values.

On the upside, unlike the inherent coding messes of Watch Dogs and the AC games, FC4's issues are relatively easy to fix by hand, and modders will (hopefully) be able to go the extra mile like they did with FC3.

I've been taking my time with this and enjoying all the side missions, so I finally broke into the north a few days ago. In the "Truth and Justice" mission (the one where you kill "Pagan"), I'm flying the Buzzer and trying to think of how I'm going to murk the dude when all of a sudden, an RPG streaks out of nowhere, destroys his car, and then I get the "mission complete" screen. Bewildered at what must have been the most hilariously beneficial act of AI fratricide in recent memory, another RPG slams into my Buzzer, killing me.

Still got credit for the mission, though. Also, I unlocked the Buzzsaw and... :stare:
