Comment In: Far Cry 3 wins big at 2013 Canadian Video Game Awards [News - 04/22/2013 - 04:40]

Nothing says Canadian videogame to me more than Far Cry 3. A good chunk of that game was made in Sweden, Shanghai, North Carolina too. Plus all the strong cultural values it communicates. Maybe the EU is right in saying videogames don 't convey cultural values

I 'd much rather have a hand-crafted experience with tons of one-offs that I can complete in a handful of hours than something designed to have me coming back to it again and again until the end of time. r n r nHow greedy the developer who wants all of ...

I wonder how many backers are now looking into the track record of the person s running the projects. That 's certainly my first go-to as I don 't have mountains of disposable income I don 't back first-timers/unknowns. r n r nHaving a pre-existing audience seems key to any ...

Press doesn 't matter, there are too many videogames, cross your fingers try to make a great game. Better yet take up a trade that pays think plumbing/electrical do games in your spare time. - my assessment/unasked-for advice after doing this full time for the last 3 years.

Was the press even really all that important, then Seems to me that the success of this game is riding squarely on the shoulders of a dedicated fanbase that 's made sure that others know about good the experience is.

What 's hilarious is how most of the pundits haven 't made any games of note. So, it 's just entertainment. r n r nBesides, all Twitter is useful for is biting one-liners so it comes with the territory. r n r nThat said, Follow me @darkacrejack cuz I 'm ...
