Good luck getting people to listen, it's much more fun being angry.Monster Sanctuary is unique amongst monster taming games in that it makes a great effort to ensure that every monster in the game is useable no matter what point in the game you are at. It's some gamers online misunderstanding that this was going to be the final cover when it was not. This isn't an instance of Ubisoft changing the cover of their game within a day of its reveal. This is the image which has been on their website from the beginning, and it appears this was the originally-intended game cover. Likely an alternative cover that they didn't end up going with. What people considered the cover was just a promo image for the announcement. The "Limited Edition", which might as well be a "Launch Edition". This is the cover of the game that was originally sent to all stores upon the game's announcement. I guess I'm at least glad that someone brought this up here just so that the record can be set straight for fellow GB members. I think it's unfortunate how people are spreading this around as though Ubisoft pulled the fastest 180 ever while also making no statement regarding it. There wasn't a change to the Far Cry 4 box art. Do you guys think the change was necessary? With all the headlines the original was grabbing, I wonder if they felt the need to change it or if this was what the cover was going to be all along. No one was actually asking for the cover to change they just wanted to preemptively point out that if the sequel makes the same mistake as the previous one, they can't argue it was oversight or totally unintentional (which was the basic retort that the head writer made after they were asked questions about the ending of Far Cry 3). Every sane person who brought it up mentioned how it wasn't necessarily bad (and it would ultimately be down to implementation in the final product) but it was a warning sign that many had a problem with. After Far Cry 3 had quite a lot of people getting annoyed at the latter half of the story, it just seemed like the writers had learned nothing when going into the Far Cry 4. It wasn't problematic in-and-of-itself it just got people to bring up the problem in the previous game of a bunch of white people deciding the future (killing or saving) the native coloured people. It's kind of dark for a video game cover, with the guy holding a grenade and all. What was the issue? I honestly didn't even know there was an issue, just one or two twee click-bait articles that had some axe to grind (which I didn't bother to read). Although maybe thats just some dying rebellious instincts flaring up in me from days long past - from a business standpoint I can see how they might see the negative headlines and simply yell across the hall for the graphic guy to alter the art, sidestepping a potentially sales-reducing situation. When a developer working on a game where the player will engage in countless acts of murder and violence thinks it's pertinent to change the box art on that very same game because some people think it's too "this or that" then I began to get worried about where this road will lead us. At the same time I think gaming is getting dangerously cornered by these very same attitudes.
I'm all for the sort of movement that Patrick so often writes about - equality, tolerance, respect. Good news doesn't make nearly as clickable headlines as bad news does.
Remember how people talked about exactly how big Laura's breasts should be or how gross everything about that game was because the media apparently said so? Remember how people really talked about how Remember Me had a strong, non-sexualized protagonist? He's still got the pink suit, which apparently people were upset about as well.īut seriously, no one will remember any of this in a few weeks.
