Caltrops - FarCry 2





	[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"][quote name="<a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/118/1184546p1.html">IGN.com's Colin Campbell</a>"]<img src="http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/118/1184546/super-meat-boy-20110727020051506.jpg"> McMillen has no time for this "old" way of thinking. "The dinosaurs of marketing are really upset by piracy. They think it's literally stealing," he says. "They're old. That's really the reason. They're old and their ideas are old. They don't understand where we are now. They don't understand the mentality of people who are pirating things. They see them as thieves, the same people who go and shoplift. I don't f*@#ing shoplift but I have pirated sh@%-loads of stuff. Like it's just not the same, it's not the same thing at all." ... "Sh@% changed," says McMillen, warming to his theme. "Deal with it. Sh@% went digital and this is how it works now. It's really easy to copy and give to other people." ... McMillen adds, "I'll tell you a story that is true. When Meat Boy came out on PC and torrents started going up on Pirate Bay, I would check, I had a friend of mine who said, 'congratulations, I just saw your game in the top 50 on Pirate Bay for games,' and I checked and we were 30th and I was depressed because it wasn't higher, because that's a measure of success."[/quote] I ended up finishing Far Cry 2. What the fuck was up with that ending? From the first time I had to sit there and listen to the Jackal, <i>the man I was sent to kill,</i> quote Nietzsche at me in an unskippable cutscene, I wanted nothing more than to skullfuck that Sam Fisher-looking Colonel Kurtz wannabe with my huge, throbbing machete. Then I finally track him down and suddenly we're jungle buddies? More than that, I'm pretty sure I was supposed to become his sidekick or acolyte or something. It's like a game based on Apocalypse Now where they make you play the last act as Dennis Hopper. Then the big choice at the end is whether you want to blow yourself up completely with an improvised bomb or just blow your brains out with a regular gun. I picked the bomb because - like Vin Diesel in every Vin Diesel movie - <i>I live for this shit</i>, but then I also watched the gun ending on YouTube and it was essentially identical. Fuck you too, Clint Hocking.[/quote]
