Yeah, there are actually people clamoring for a Far Cry 3 Remaster, which is just totally unnecessary.

They got hit hard. Full blown doxxing, the one and only time I'm down for that. They could have spared the family FB info, though.

Beat Volgarr. Have to totally disagree with you drave. Controls great, and there's a lot of stuff that seems cheap when you first encounter it, but it's nothing that can't be overcome with a little skill. Obviously, if you don't know it's coming, you're probably going to die, but that trial and error system is part of every challenging platformer ever.
Also didn't REALLY beat it yet. There is a secret final level and boss that you get by beating the Valkyrie levels which are accessed by finishing the level with pyreflies. You get those by opening 7 chests without getting hit. SO it's pretty fucking tough, but definitely doable. |

Disrupting game servers, with what essentially is just a large scale DDoS, does not make it okay for the family of the dumb hackers to be exposed.
The hackers get what is/was coming to them, but their family most likely had no clue about what they were doing. IF they did doxx, then I failed to read the story. |

Lizard Squad just DDoS'd servers, they never doxxed people from what I know.
I dig that they got what was coming to them but Anon could have had some mercy about the family stuff. They could have made their point with the full names and pics really. |

But if that country is as back-water as N.Korea... |

Even if Live is down, kinda crazy I can't even sign in to my profile to do offline shit like Killer Instinct training or whatever. This is a disaster and probably legally actionable. I can do offline stuff on 360 ffs.
