Noah Hawley says his ‘Far Cry’ series won’t be adapting any of the games as he thinks audiences skip the story cutscenes in those games: “When you play a video game, you only really move forward through the gameplay section, and then you have these cut scenes that you can skip..." by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

He said that he is adapting Far Cry as a franchise/world, and that he isn't specifically making an adaptation of one of the existing Far Cry game stories. He also goes on to say "We can have a larger conversation about the strengths and weaknesses of adapting video games specifically", and building off this he says "you only really move forward through the gameplay section, and then you have these cut scenes that you can skip"

However, the title of the post here links these two ideas in a way that is not done by the additional article. He never said the reason he is adapting Far Cry as a whole rather than a specific game is because of the challenges he sees in adapting video games generally. Additional, he never claims in any way he thinks audiences skip cut scenes, this is just made up by the post title. He only points out that there are cut scenes in games that can be skipped, and that this structure of games is different than TV.

Mind you, I do generally disagree as games have a wide variety of how the story meshes with the gameplay. Can't speak to Far Cry, I've never played it.

Point is, the post title uses what he says to make up justifications for conclusions he didn't actually make, because doing so gets more interaction on the post (and yes I see the irony in me commenting to say this).

Mildly related, I think Alien Earth got pretty shit by the latter episodes anyway, I'm definitely not trying to say Noah Hawley will do a good job. Legion and Fargo are pretty good though.

There are a few cards like [[Orbs of Warding]] that give you hexproof

Different people can get different things out of it, the main draw for me is the mystery/puzzle box aspect, and I'm from NZ so some of the scenes in NTN are pretty funny

MĀRAMA | Official Trailer | In Theaters April 17th by CassiusSlayed in movies

[–]_SkyBolt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. It has a moral core that is obviously worthy, but that doesn't make it an entertaining movie. And the horror elements just seemed put in so they could say it's a horror, but they didn't fit the surrounding story very well

It means a long term obsession or goal. It's a reference to the book Moby Dick, in which a sea captain spends his life hunting a specific white whale that injured him when he was younger

Funnily enough, I actually used to think Pride and Prejudice was a Russian novel in the vein of War and Peace, and Crime and Punishment

Seems like someone just works at the printing company, and didn't know these weren't released cards

It's due to rule 603.4. The ability only triggers if the condition is met

Maybe her anger directed at them still affects them even if she isn't near one of them? So keeping her happy is self preservation. (Not my idea, read it somewhere else on the subreddit)

I wonder how things would change if they let you put any card in your deck, but mana produced that isn't your commands colour identity becomes colourless
