Worth Reading: 12/21/12

My response to the "No, Let's Talk About Video Game Violence" is:

I hope it influences future violent games and shooters going for hero fantasies. A little self-awareness wouldn't hurt.

Worth reading really lacks Mega64 videos

cant wait for GOTY.

Free games are always FTW. Great post.

Word Quest!! Fantastic game.

What, did you guys still not get it when Jason says, "use the force," and the Star Wars theme started playing? If that didn't seal it, I really don't even know what to tell you guys.

That was Ride of the Valkyries.

"I name thee annihilator" is very stupid but very funny.

Wait, what's Soul Reaver doing here? The game was kinda average, from what I remember.

SHUT YOUR TERRIBLE MOUTH.

Cool it my long haired brethren for I, also, enjoyed that game.

Soul Reaver was the shit! And it had a great atmosphere and voice acting and story. Convoluted at the end there but pretty awesome. Bring it back!

Yes.

You call that worth reading? It was way too long.

But Far Cry 3....well, I'm in the minority in thinking damn near EVERYTHING falls apart once you meet Buck rather than just the story, but even when Far Cry 3 "fell apart," it was able to pull itself back together by giving me more towers and outposts to capture on the second island. It gets too easy too soon, and it's generally a huge disappointment after riding so high on those first eight hours. But I still ultimately like the game, and I think it's worth playing, especially without being spoiled about that press conference stuff I keep mentioning. It's just...well, I don't understand how it can be near ANYBODY's Game of the Year, seeing as how the mission design got so much weaker once Buck got introduced.

Oh man the quote with the writer trying to justify the story of Far Cry 3 is hilarious, it sounds like the ramblings of a mad man.

Double Fine's Amnesia fortnights are just so magic, I want all of the games.

Half-Life Natepack is funnier.

I don't get why people like Super Hexagon so much. Anyway, Merrry Christmas Patrick!

I don't really understand either. While I do feel the game is overrated, GOTY lists from any gaming site are just opinions, whether they're good or bad opinions depends on each person whether they agree or not.
