So I don't know how far I am into Far Cry 3 but I went from really enjoying the gameplay to slowly despising the game for the writing in general. After seeing the Penny Arcade article pop up, I couldn't take it anymore and starting reading up what people were saying about the story, spoilers and all. I found this article on Rock Paper Shotgun and it spread a certain light into the game that may make me shelve it without even beating it. Spoilers ahoy. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/12/19/far-cry-3s-jeffrey-yohalem-on-racism-torture-and-satire/
Learning the lead writer was the same guy I have to blame for the Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood glyph puzzle sequences, the whole game makes loads more sense.
Also first time poster on these boards even though I was somehow already a member (I blame China and Sony).
