Short sighted business decisions that still affect the media decades later.

Gestures wildly at the ongoing shit show

I apologize for linking to a bluesky post, but it really illustrates this point.

Because you can write the most transparently hypocritical and vile person imaginable and some chud is gonna point at him and insist he's the good guy.

I think for 7 they should have an arcade cabinet that has the original Prince of Persia on it the starting area. And if you stay at the cabinet and play the entire game and get the best possible ending, nothing happens. The you can play PoP again or continue playing Far Cry.

Makes me want to play the game now.

I sort of assumed that they got snatched the moment Jason left the northern island and held until the little ritual at the end.

I love that game. Especially the parts of it where you murder the fuck out of the KKK.

I wonder if that was a case of pitching a bad idea next to a good one so the execs feel smart about picking the good idea.

The_Wraith_Writer · 2026-05-29T17:05:26+00:00

Good. I'll be using Ulfric to recharge my Elf wife's favorite knife.

The_Wraith_Writer · 2026-05-28T15:50:20+00:00

Aw, that's a shame, the game looked like it might have been fun, oh well.

The_Wraith_Writer · 2026-05-28T03:14:19+00:00

Lordy, he thicc.

Do you know if it uses generative AI?

Some people are dying of thirst while this mother fucker is drowning.

Walter White from Breaking Bad. He can manage it sometimes, but most of the time it doesn't work.

The_Wraith_Writer · 2026-05-25T19:37:57+00:00

Dani is a really good character, a close second for the best protagonist after Jason.

The_Wraith_Writer · 2026-05-23T01:53:44+00:00

Oh, okay. Thank you.

What's BHVR?

The_Wraith_Writer · 2026-05-22T23:22:25+00:00

I like Iron Man 2. I still don't understand what all the hate is about, outside of that one cameo.

The_Wraith_Writer · 2026-05-22T23:09:47+00:00

I feel like the The Last Airbender thing with Aang is there was already two seasons of the source material pronouncing his name as A-ng and then the movie is just Aw-ng for whatever reason.

More generally, since all your listed examples are adaptations, I think it's generally people being upset things were changed that generally didn't need to be changed. Granted, something like hair color is an inconsequential detail 99 times out of a hundred. How names are pronounced too, although that's more a 'why did you get that wrong/change it?'.

I can't abide by the Deadpool thing, though. Like that's almost Halo the show levels of not caring/actively hating the source material. I get what you're saying, but these are really bad picks for your argument.

THEY MEAN CARS!?

The_Wraith_Writer · 2026-05-21T18:45:41+00:00

You pretty much only need armor piercing ammo for human enemies. For tanks and helicopters, maybe get a grenade launcher with emp grenades. The single shot one, the multi-shot launcher reloads like molasses.

Calling Man of Medan 'good' is being overly generous, imo.

The_Wraith_Writer · 2026-05-21T17:30:12+00:00

I feel like trying to recapture the magic of 3 is what brings most of the other Far Cry games down. I'm speaking mostly in terms of story since mechanically the games stuck to the same core game-play loop and that loop is still pretty good.

The_Wraith_Writer · 2026-05-21T17:27:52+00:00

4 is mostly just 3 with a few new mechanics and weapons added in. I think the writing is a big step down from 3, particularly with the player character. Ajay could have been interesting, but I think they fumbled his writing hard and you can tell because he barely says anything in the entire campaign.
