10k coins cost $2,15. Multiplied by 20 this is 43, which is only 4 cents more than the 200k's $42,96. So they're packages for convenience and speed rather than saving money.

It gets worse if you look at the basic prices. 10k's $2,59 times 20 is #51,8. This is 8 cents LESS than the regular $51,88 for the 200k package. So in that case it's cheaper to buy several smaller packages over one big one.

Call of Duty publisher sued by family of Angolan rebel
Jonas Savimbi is portrayed as a ‘barbarian’ in Call of Duty: Black Ops II say three of his children who seek €1m damages

Video game publisher Activision is being sued by the family of Angolan rebel chief Jonas Savimbi, who have objected to his depiction in the game Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

Three of Savimbi’s children, who are now based in France, contend that the game depicted their father – the founder and leader of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (Unita) – as a “barbarian”. They are seeking €1m in damages from the French branch of Activision Blizzard.

Savimbi led a decades-long guerrilla insurgency against the Angolan government and its dominant party, the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola(MPLA). He was killed in battle against government forces in 2002. Although feted as a freedom fighter by Ronald Regan, Savimbi was a controversial figure. The civil war led to the deaths of 500,000 people with several million forced to flee their homes.

In the first campaign mission of Black Ops II, the player must aid Savimbi in a battle against MPLA forces. The sequence reflects the US backing of Unita against the Soviet-supported government. Savimbi is depicted leading his troops shouting “fight, my brothers” and wielding a grenade launcher.


How Savimbi appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
The family’s lawyer Carole Enfert said Savimbi is represented as a “big halfwit who wants to kill everybody”. The lawsuit will argue that he was in fact a “political leader and strategist”.

France has extremely strict laws on both defamation and a person’s rights of publicity – in other words, the right to control the commercial use of their likeness. “In cases such as this, where a well-known person is either depicted or has provided inspiration for a character, it is not surprising that someone aggrieved by it is able to formulate the basis of a legal argument,” said Alex Tutty of law firm Sheridans, which specialises in the entertainment and media fields.

“A claim for defamation of a dead person is notoriously difficult and can be impossible depending on the territory. France does have laws that permit a defamation action in the case where the alleged defamation affects the deceased person’s relatives in that it causes them suffering or reflect upon their reputation.”

A lawyer for Activision Blizzard, Etienne Kowalski, has rejected the claim, stating that the game represents Savimbi as a “good guy” – and that he is portrayed fairly, “for who he was … a character of Angolan history, a guerrilla chief who fought the MPLA”.

This is not the first time Activision has been threatened with legal action over the depiction of real people in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. In 2014, imprisoned Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega attempted to sue the company over his own appearance in the game. Activision brought in Rudy Giuliani to defend the caseand the suit was rejected by a judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court, under the first amendment right to free expression.

That was so bad, it makes me want to kill EVERY Jester I see in a fantasy-inspired RPG.

My next playthrough of Ultima 7 will not bode well for Chuckles...

Try and play Dark Souls 2, you'll appreciate jesters a lot more. Or a lot less if you get invaded a lot.

And then give the DLC Crown of the Sunken King a try. You'll meet the good jester again!

This is like the perfect Codex article: http://www.syfygames.com/news/article/opinion-do-all-rpgs-really-need-to-be-so-long-tonynguyen

Whenever I think about role-playing games, the first thing that comes to mind is the thought of embarking on a grand-scale adventure filled with hours upon hours of content. In fact, one of the reasons why I decided to purchase Fallout 4 the very first day it came out — despite how notoriously glitchy Bethesda games tend to be at launch — was because I knew that I was going to spend dozens of hours seeing everything the game had to offer. True to my expectations, I did spend over forty hours exploring the Boston Commonwealth, shooting countless numbers of Ghouls, Raiders, and whatever the wasteland wanted to throw at me. I didn't even finish half the list of the available side quests, or even half of the supposedly short main quest line!

During that, I discovered a little gem called Undertale. While it's enjoyable for its own reasons — which I highly recommend that you find out for yourself — one of the main things about it that stood out to me was that it was a relatively condensed adventure. Although you won't explore a vast wasteland or anything even remotely comparable, I feel like the game still somehow managed to deliver a satisfying journey. In just around ten hours, I got to meet an interesting cast of characters that I came to love, witnessed a story full of genuinely unexpected twists and turns, and even managed to tear up more times than I'd like to admit. So, it has me wondering: should RPGs be shorter to deliver a more focused experience?
