The Flood / Re: Any Writing You're Working on?
« on: December 17, 2014, 09:20:51 PM »
When I actually get free time, I have a review for a friend's story in the barrel, along with a folder of 22 different story premises/vague plot maps [I like to chart the events of my stories into "maps" especially when they involve time manipulation or SR] that I've been working on. Basically before uni started I wrote like a maniac, so I have quite a bit of stuff that I'm "writing."

Halo 2, CE, and Halo 3

I like to pretend the other Halo games don't exist.

But how can anyone forget about Sword Base?

What exactly is your argument here? Turkey is just trying to say that he supports Valve's decision to remove the game.

Your argument seems to be "Valve was pressured into this decision by tumblr/SJWs, hence it's wrong" coupled with "there's nothing wrong with the game and Valve should release it."

A) If the first argument is correctly translated, defend your premise. How do you know Valve was "pressured into this decision" instead of making it on their own? Was there a statement or something saying "due to popular demand" that I'm missing?

B) If the second argument is correct, why would you say this?

Quote
Yep and if it was under their own decision I'm fine with it.

It's not gamers fault the media is ignorant.  So far no credible studies have been able to link violent games with causing real life violence.  Not releasing it for fear of shame only boasts their position.

Uh, okay? What's your argument here? You're dodging the question.

Will this or will this not stir negative attention to the industry?

back to arguing about why a private corporation ltierally has every right to not support a game with zero artistic merit

I'm not arguing that they don't have that right.  I'm arguing a private corporation shouldn't be threatened for selling a product that has no negative effect on anyone. 

You seriously think that releasing this game will not have any negative effects on how the industry is viewed by people not familiar with it [aka the mainstream press]?

Quote
The initial reason it was taken down was bloggers and certain media outlets were going to shame them for simply releasing it on their market, with the usual drivel about them supporting violence and patriarchy yada yada yada.

Or how about Valve deciding that the product is simply one not worth distributing?

My full support goes Verbatim here.

Strange feeling, huh?

I could get used to it! He's not nearly as bad as before.

That being said let's not turn this thread into another one about his turnaround and get back to arguing about why a private corporation ltierally has every right to not support a game with zero artistic merit

Sony is still better than MS prove me wrong you can't

Sure I can, both are major corporations and "siding" with any one of them is akin to going "what could possibly go wrong" after making a decision in a cartoon

>Remove Custom Loadouts: fixes a good 90% of problems with the game
>Remove ordnance, or at least make it consistent (maybe warn other players that some guy just pulled rockets out his ass from around the corner or something, or do what throwdown did, and have it just give less powerful equipment)
>Lessen aim assist/bullet magnetism

MCC addresses 2 of those, so at least I can tolerate it now.

Hey, Halo games after CE haven't really addressed the third point so...

[And yes AC I did indeed mean that entire GRD fiasco. What the hell was that all about again?]
