fake e: it even criticizes ubisoft as "miscegenators" in the very first sentence. No way it's authentic.

It's really hard to tell with quotes like

quote:

There’s no reason a protectonist nationalist movement would all be one race?

which are the exact inverse of the usual garbage. I am however 100% sure that there's people out there sincerely thinking this and I hope every company continues to "ruin" all games for them forever.

I played Blood Dragon not too long ago because they gave it away for free on the Ubisoft store. It was pretty meh. I also might have to get Far Cry 5 assuming it's decent and pisses of enough of the right people.

Most ski lifts don't have anything holding you there but gravity and friction, so dummies who are used to always having seat belts don't take it seriously and fall all the time. Its not hard to just sit there but you know, people.

Blood Dragon is the same map as 3 isn't it? Primal is basically an expansion game that they have the gall to charge 60 bucks for.

I don't think blood dragon is the same map as 3. Its smaller by far, there's only a single landmass.

It is the same engine as 3 and re-uses a ton of assets though, so it looks pretty similar other than the bolted-on neon lighting. Its basically a paid mod, but I don't think it was 60 at release like Primal was.

One of the first commented signatures on the petition is p.good too.

"I'm a delicate little flower who is okay with shooting brown people, foreigners, and liberals who work the EVIL corporations, but you, Ubisoft, have gone too far. How dare make a game about that antagonizes a group of criminal white christian zealots terrorizing a small town community that for some reason I okay with and agree on a ideological level. This is 2017, you can't make a game about killing doomsday cultist that are primarily white...unless they're gay or Muslim, then it's acceptable.

I hope you're ready for retribution, because after this, I going to write an angry post on twitter and facebook that will largely go ignored. That will show you! #Ubisoftdead

Canuck is awesome, he became famous after stealing a knife from a crime scene.



http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/canuck-crow-international-attention-1.3604632

He spends a lot of time with one guy named Shawn. They have a Facebook page which is super adorable!

https://www.facebook.com/thecrowandI/

A little while back, Canuck was at a soccer game, stealing what he loves to steal the most: pens. Some rear end in a top hat hit him with a sign, and he disappeared for a few days. He was fortunately found, but he sustained a head injury and had to see a vet.



He is fully healed now, though, and still up to no good. The SPCA is also investigating, but I haven't seen any updates on that front recently.

I didn't exist in the 80s, but I grew up on a diet of 80s movies in my childhood and Blood Dragon gives me a lot of nostalgia for that time period.

Nah I loving love 80s sci fi and that's why I said blood dragon was rad as gently caress.

But I understand people getting sore eyes. That doesn't mean I don't love the game dude. Read my last post lol, we were having a conversation.
