That's exactly what a secret Government organization would say...Canadamus Prime said:EDIT: Also my name is CANADAmus Prime. I am not a secret government organization from the DC universe.
Well I'm Canadian so I can't be a secret US government organization organization from the DC Universe.Silentpony said:That's exactly what a secret Government organization would say...Canadamus Prime said:EDIT: Also my name is CANADAmus Prime.

Well I'm certainly not from the DC Universe anyway.Silentpony said:
I've actually considered Romes arc from time to time against America's growth, and while the outlook is depressingly similar, we're still at a place in the timeline where things can either change, or it's so far away from the end of the Republic it won't matter. Because, you see, America hasn't had it's war with it's Carthage yet. That is to say, Russia.Onliuge said:America is reading, The Fall of the Roman Empire.
Uk is reading, 1984.
Germany is reading the definition of hypocrisy over and over, yet still isn't getting it.
What a time to be alive.
I think he was pointing out how useless it makes the player character feel, and dare I say it, the ludonarrative dissonance.Squilookle said:Wait- is he saying that having competent NPC allies is a bad thing? I'd much rather have that than the opposite, even at the risk of having my actions trivialised a bit.
Well the way Yahtzee spoke of the ending is the main reason why I want to play it, I haven't felt anything playing games for a while so maybe that depressing sounding ending will stick with me, plus I'm intrigued by how some people call it shitty and some just depressing. Eh it's farcry without climbing radio towers that's already worth a try.Venatio said:Well yah, but bear in mind that all of the ending are a bit of a *MAJOR* pisser. Even more so than the "Stay on the Island Ending" of Far Cry 3, which I find far more upbeat than Far Cry 5's Endings.Osvaldas Daniulis said:So Yahtzee quite liked it? Oh boy finally a game I can download
Although I am a lonely man, so there could be other reasons why the Island ending is better than what you're left with at the end of 5.
Well suit yourself. But if you really like "conflicted endings" then you should (if you have not already) play the Enderal Skyrim Overhaul. Don't let the description fool you, it's basically another game. You only need vanilla Skyrim, not Special Edition & no DLC at all. It is better than Skyrim in many, many ways. Just remember to save often and get ready for one heck of an ending that may leave you feeling drained.Osvaldas Daniulis said:Well the way Yahtzee spoke of the ending is the main reason why I want to play it, I haven't felt anything playing games for a while so maybe that depressing sounding ending will stick with me, plus I'm intrigued by how some people call it shitty and some just depressing.

If you cancel annual traditions because of current events, then the terrorists win.Silentpony said:The Testical Festival quest was cute but oddly placed. Like here, lets cut off the balls of some bulls and eat them, while our friends are being tortured and mutilated literally just down the road, and then lets all get drunk and pass out, while an evil cult is, again, literally down the road waiting to attack the town.Venatio said:As long as you respect Cow Bingo and Testical Festivals, all is well.
Would have worked way better as a post-John Seed quest
Yeah but if the terrorists win, the terrorists win. And running around black out drunk isn't a great way to beat the terrorists.ccggenius12 said:If you cancel annual traditions because of current events, then the terrorists win.Silentpony said:The Testical Festival quest was cute but oddly placed.

I getcha. Personally in this case I'd say the game's failing wouldn't be that two guys can storm a fortress, but that the game told me that the cult was virtually unstoppable. Better to ditch that one bit of dissonant description than a whole chunk of engaging gameplay.Silentpony said:I think he was pointing out how useless it makes the player character feel, and dare I say it, the ludonarrative dissonance.Squilookle said:Wait- is he saying that having competent NPC allies is a bad thing?

We're told the cult is super powerful, unstoppable, and that only you the hero can save the day.
Then Bill from the pizza joint and his dog Bongo storm a cult fortress and effortlessly take it back. Makes you wonder why only the hero can save the day, and what everyone else is doing.
I've heard great things about it, but never got around to it because I'm not done my (now years old) latest run of the game.Venatio said:Well suit yourself.
