Are you retarded? Did you not read my post about how the setting and topic is specifically politically charged re: USPOL in the current political climate? No one is going to be insufferable about a game where you shoot nazis and sometimes robot nazis, everyone is going to be insufferable about a game set in "republican country". Nice try with that sick burn though

So far the only person being insufferable about the new Far Cry is you, ironically enough.

If you don't think Nazis area politically-charged concept in modern America please keep in mind that people are genuinely upset about Captain America being a secret Nazi and we are having actual for-real conversations about how justifiable it is to punch Neo-Nazis in the face.

Eh, I'd say the game's been in development for at least three years and while I wouldn't put it past them to add some *topical* references, it's most likely going to focus on the cult/sovcit angle. My guess is that the militia will be portrayed as a bunch of crazy out-of-staters and you'll be working with the locals--including a certain Hurk--to shoot/stab them out of a condensed, set-piece version of Montana.

Yeah, the game should be fun, and it's an interesting setting and hook for the story, it's just unfortunate timing. I wonder what they're going to do for animals, since the locale limits exotic animals. Maybe mountain lions?

It's going to be over the top and without subtlety because it's Ubisoft, but there is nothing wrong with setting a game within a current political climate. Like, believing that people who have opinions about the current political climate are "insufferable," is, in fact, a political position in and of itself.

Ubisoft released Watch_Dogs 2 which was basically Current Events: The Game if you want some idea of how they'll probably approach it. Different teams but I fully expect to be fighting the Bumby Clan who talk about their favorite presidential candidate Ronald Rump.

Nintendo has always participated in E3, they just stopped having large blowout press conferences in lieu of prerecorded Nintendo Directs and live Treehouses where they just play whatever games they've got available in their booth. They actually have one of the more consistently quality and focused showings every year now.

watching the Mario Maker level where that guy jumped into a lakitu cloud in a kuribo shoe or whatever was definitely the best part of E3

You don't have to replay the game for the true ending.

You don't have to replay anything, unless you deleted or saved over your old save or something. Though it depends on what "true" ending you mean...

1). Answering all the questions correctly in December; there's a logic to what you should say but I will fully admit it's a bit obtuse. But if you fail you'll go to credits with a clearly bad ending so it should be kind of obvious you were missing something.

2). Or going back to Junes in March even though the game makes it sound like you're all done. Easy to miss but also super simple, once you head back you're on that path for good.

In Golden (which you aren't playing IIRC), you get a bonus dungeon and special epilogue if you max out Marie. You otherwise still have access to the main story dungeons to finish out the story in that case.

A friend got me some early birthday presents, yay. They're the board games Weinhandler: Wine Cellar Sellers and Carcassonne. I'm excited to try them out (though the former is at minimum 3 players to play and I only have KCB with me at the moment so that'll have to wait until we can set up a game night with our friend or something)

Carcassonne is great, and the way it works means they can make lots of little expansions you can get cheaply to add more fun mechanics to your game.

I wish.

I fell asleep around 5 or 6 and woke up at 3, occasionally waking up in between thrashing about and crying. I was having one of the worst nightmares I've had in a while, ugh. This poo poo's annoying as gently caress because all I wanna do is to be able to get some rest but then I go to sleep and have horrid nightmares and I wake up just as tired as before.
