Disney are very picky about how their characters are shown off. I don’t know about KH3 since I haven’t reached it yet, but in KH1 and KH2, apparently Disney demanded that characters from different Disney universes (i.e. different movies) couldn’t interact with each other, the only exceptions basically being Donald, Goofy, and later Mickey himself. It’s why in those games, for example Aladdin doesn’t leave his world to come along for the adventure and he gets to meet characters in Neverland for example.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Disney ran through the list of all Smash fighters and decided that those like Bayonetta can never be onscreen at the same time as Donald and Goofy because it could damage their “brand”.
sora is a gigantic deal legally and from a games history standpoint, but i don’t have a connection to kingdom hearts like i have a connection to doom. also personally, i would’ve loved it the granddad of all shooters was the actual final character but i get why hes just a mii costume.
far cry 2 is a genuinely great game. i’d never played anything that actively hated the player as much as that game until pathologic. it’s brilliant, albeit somewhat frustrating. every other entry has felt a bit, i dunno, lame (?) by comparison.
I’ve only played Far Cry Blood Dragon, actually. I thought it was pretty fun, with the neon effects, 80s self-referential humour, and the gameplay fit the type of ‘cool action hero’ look they were going for.
I tried Far Cry 3 last year, and it’s just too overwhelming and not that fun to me. (I didn’t get far in it, but what I played, I didn’t really enjoy)
The stealth is particularly annoying, I’m not really a fan of stealth in first-person games. Which is strange, since I think Blood Dragon had fun stealthy stuff.
This is…
Boy, I have a lot of mixed feelings about this. Interesting that they’ve converted it into a chicken vs chicken style Tekken game with super moves and all that, not just some ‘bet on animal, animal wins’. But also it’s cockfighting and that’s generally bad? Hrmmm
For once they would be onto something. Cockfights in real life are ghastly affairs and Ubisoft are as good at handling serious issues in their games as they are handling them in real life.
You don’t even get to use them for crafting. At least when you shot the cassowaries in the face you could craft something with them (and the fact that the bastards have it coming).
don’t freak out but i never played it. watched the movie though
god, the hud alone was like:
fc2’s hud was pretty much all diegetic. you literally had to stop and pull the map out. really cool. no idea why they didn’t run with it in later games.
blood dragon was fun. very different take on the series.
hope you had a nice evening
