This is a great article -- I can see it going either way at this point. Given what they were able to pull of with Far Cry 4 citing the Nepalese civil war as an inspiration though, I'm optimistic.
"Default" is also a verb; it can be modified by an adverb like "bravely". E.g. last week I chose to bravely default on my loan payments, even though I could afford to pay them. (Excuse the split infinitive.)
simulacra and simulations.... maybe they're making the games worse as a kind of metaphor about how we're all increasingly slaves to the system, effectively living in a kind of simulation, like the Matrix.... okay, probably not though
@unreal101 I kind of disagree - I feel the "character development" of FC3 was rather contrived and inserted just to differentiate it from FC2, but didn't really amount to anything meaningful. I felt the subtle interaction with the characters and environment of FC2 was much more a motivating factor to explore. Playing FC3 felt more like a checklist and I just took in the environment passively.
Far Cry 2 was fantastic -- one of my favorite shooters, the best in the series, and extremely underrated. I really hope they don't get too caught up in changing the formula to appease the masses of people who didn't like it.
@beardface21 @InfectX First of all, T. gondii is a protist, not a fungus.
Second, it has been statistically demonstrated that women infected with T. gondii are more intelligent than those who are not, across all cultures. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1635495/
