Sad realization: there aren't as many funny female pawns in Dragon's Dogma as there are dudes. This is frustrating because I prefer taking along a team of valkyries on missions and it seems like my choices are rather plain to look at. I'm hoping it'll get more exciting as my level increases, as the later armor sets look cooler, I think.

Activist fans start a movement to make SEGA refuse to let Sonic appear in any future Smash Bros. games until Nintendo recants on their anti-consumerist ways. Miyamoto is quoted as saying, "Fine I never liked the blue poo poo hanging out with Mario anyway."

There are different mindsets when it comes to games and business. Some companies go "ok we genuinely like our fans and want them engaged and they want to make fan projects so let's come up with a way they can do that, and also if we can, let's make money off that because money is good too, and if they're real good we'll hire them" and we get stuff like Valve, mod communities (monetized or not), Sega's recent changes, Paradox, etc. Then we have companies that are like "we like our fans but ultimately this is our property to sell and promote and we need to protect our brand" like Nintendo and SE. And legally that's fine. I sure prefer that first attitude though because I like the idea of collaborating with developers and other fans to create neat things and cultivating a community that feels invested in what they love because they are contributing to it. Nintendo got a taste of that with MarioMaker, so they are opening up in some ways but I wish they'd give their fans the kind of community their fans want. Even if sometimes Mario and Luigi kiss.

Nintendo's weird tendency towards control and secrecy is definitely one of the more offputting aspect of a "kid-friendly" company. They won't even let people ascertain if their consoles are made with slave labor or not. They probably aren't, but they don't want people knowing their precious manufacturing secrets.

Foxconn produces Nintendo's hardware, so the answer is yes to slave labor.

Okay, chat, weird question: are Pillars of Eternity/Tyranny any faster than the Shadowrun Returns/Dragonfall/HK games? The combat in those games was so slow and tedious it put me off of finishing Dragonfall, and while I'm interested in PoE and Tyranny, well - is it slow? Is it fast? I hope to spend most of my time reading, so how much is it interrupted by gameplay?

The ending of Far Cry 3 is the most forced moral choice I've ever seen in a video game, ever. The game presents an out of nowhere dilemma where one choice is obviously wrong simply so it can subvert the main character's natural arc that he's been having throughout the entire game.

Whenever people talk about Far Cry 3, it reminds me that I'm so glad I didn't play it. It sounds like the main story was "watch your friends get raped" and the so-called fun side part was going around hunting endangered wild life. Why.

There isn't horrifying torture porn of your friends or anything, the bigger issue is you never actually get to know them very well outside of "Woah I'm glad you showed up/I am scared and want to escape". Meanwhile fighting two separate armies of bad guys and knifing bears is a lot more fun and the entire game's narrative is about how you've basically got no reason to ever leave with these 'friends' you barely know. Hell, the main character decides he's going to stay halfway through the game after killing the primary antagonist, then the game decides the story should keep going even though there's really nothing left to do except kill another less interesting villain and rescue one last friend. Then all of a sudden turns out your new island buddies are crazy and evil in the last 3 minutes of the game, and you have to make a stupid MORAL CHOICE. It really is fun to run around and kill virtual endangered animals that infinitely regenerate.

On the one hand Swapnote being reborn was great but on the other hand the DLC system can go gently caress itself. It costs about 10-11 dollars to get all basic colors and over 50 to get all the DLC! the original gave you about 4-5 colors and you got stuff unlocked by play coins (when they were actually worth getting)

That definitely makes it seem more appealing except that last bit about the moral choice. Ya know, games don't always need moral choices, especially when they're "be a sensible person" and "be a psychopath." That's not an interesting choice. Reminds me of hbomber's thing on Fallout 3.

That said, the best parts of Far Cry 3's writing are the villains. Even the side ones are cool and I enjoyed all of them. If only the devs gave the protagonist and his friends as much character then it would turn the story's quality around. It's still an enjoyable game though, I had a lot of fun with it and definitely don't regret playing through it.

Yeah it's the only moral choice in the game and comes at the very end and feels super forced. It subverts the main character's arc of finding purpose on the island but not in an interesting way, just a cheap shock one. It's not like the game is super amazing story or character-wise anyway, it's just a really weird ending. It's like if Star Wars ended with Obi-Wan's ghost being like "Ok Luke now eat this baby to become a Jedi"

Anyways while I liked FC3 enough when it came out, I think there's not much reason to play it anymore since FC4 is pretty much the same except slightly better in every single way, even took itself less seriously. The main villain I thought was really entertaining too but sadly very very underutilized.
