Skipping all of the arguing since I only read the first page of Verb's thing, I can agree with him (as I have before) about mods and what not. A game like Skyrim for example. I think they left modding available to make dungeons, but obviously people had to do far more to make the game better by itself (better mechanics, final boss fight, etc). Hell, even in one update Bethesda took the best mods and threw em in an update. That's just the devs failing to think of it on their own and probably not pay the people who MADE it better.

That being said, if a game takes that Minecraft or Halo Sandbox (forgive me for the bad analogy) approach and offers you a game that is GOOD (Arma on its own is good, people), but leaves the tools for people to do their COMPLETE own thing? I say why not? Let the community come up with witty ideas that are completely different and embrace that community.

The difference is, for the Skyrim example, they needed mods just to make their game more playable, or fix mechanics (PC port anyone)?

Where as ARMA has a game that is solid, well developed, and fun, but offers people the tools to do a complete new game at the same time.

I dunno if that makes sense. I'm just saying that instantly saying Mods are bad (Verb), and people shouting that people who DON'T support/disagree with mods are wrong (everyone else), is a little too black and white to me. There is a way it is handled that makes it different in my eyes.

PvP in this game is something I'm really not enjoying like I did Dark Souls 1 and 2. I could go on a long rant, but to keep it short, I'll just say the mechanics feel PvE first, with PvP being an afterthought.

The PvP gets killed by the lack of weapon, and overall build diversity IMO

I only have 3 complaints with this game

Lack of weapon diversity

Lack of interesting drops from enemies

Insight is a stupid system,especially when the servers are borked
That's not my problem, so much as to me it's just a bunch of flailing, hoping your strike hits, and then tapping circle rapidly and dodging. I feel like it moves too fast to be tactical in the slightest. At least in Dark Souls you had to plan out some things. I feel a lack of that in this game.

Going in under the auspices of nuclear weapons was retarded. Would have been much easier to say they're going in to topple a horrible dictator who really did deserve to be taken out, so in that regard, I am all for it.
WMD's referred to chemical weapons, which were found, and we knew Saddam had because of the Kurdish genocide in which he gassed thousands of his own citizens. Though, the primary mission was to topple the regime for numerous human rights reasons.
Quote
We ousted everyone in the Saddam government from the lowest, to highest levels, which only led to them rebelling and fighting us, we put the wrong people in power and they only divided people even more, and many other things.
The coalition didn't install anyone, it opened up the chance for democratic elections which went relatively well. The biggest issue was the later administration's unwillingness to continue working with the coalition.

I honestly think 2,500 people died for a war that was poorly handled and managed. In other words, died for nothing.


Are you referring to 9/11? That had nothing to do with the Iraq war.
1. Even if that was the case, I think they were overselling it, and as an earlier post said (which I just read, I'm catching up), it was mainly going in because Saddam had a tight lid on oil. Same with Iranian Democracy. You know the post, I won't restate it.

2. Was that the case? I thought we forbade ANYONE from Saddam's government to even go in at all, which is a lot of the reasons we were dealing with this shit today. I know, like you said, the new government wasn't cooperating which just messed it up even more. They're barely a "government" at all.

3. I meant the casualties for the Iraq war on America's side, but I probably, for whatever asinine reason, mixed them up with the 9/11 people. I'm aware that had nothing to do with Iraq :P

Sorry, I barely got any sleep >.>

However how we handled it was a completely different story.

We ousted everyone in the Saddam government from the lowest, to highest levels, which only led to them rebelling and fighting us, we put the wrong people in power and they only divided people even more, and many other things. America was never great at nation building, and it's said Bush wasn't even aware there were two different sects of Islam, so there is that too.

But who are we kidding, Cheney was the one really running the show and a complete idiot. In my eyes, given how it is now (Iraq) and how we have no hold on it whatsoever, I honestly think 2,500 people died for a war that was poorly handled and managed. In other words, died for nothing.

Edit: In the end, I think America has learned (again) that in order to just waltz in  someplace, it is much better to have the world behind your back. At the same time though, the world doesn't really DO anything and expects us to handle it (ISIS) and that really annoys me.

How many western nations are really ready to fight ISIS and put a military force behind it? People worse than Nazi's in my eyes? Spoiler: No one.

You have Iran fighting it and fucking over civvies, and Kurds, probably the only friends to the US over there, fighting alone. The West needs to stop worrying about Putin 24/7 and put their damn military to use and realize it's not all about America coming in and doing something.

But I suppose if you have a bigger budget than 17 of your allies combined, well...

Dark Souls + Resident Evil = Bloodborne... yes?
Resident Evil is so bad at this point that I wouldn't compare it to anything really. Which sucks because I am a fanboy of the series.
Isn't Revelations and Revelations 2 good though?
Yeah they're more throw backs but Capcom is doing the classic mess up with 2 on the PS4. The frames on PS4 are awful and inconsistent because Capcom can't keep performance issues the same across all three platforms.

It is pretty funny that people who shit all over Destiny, praise Bloodborne. They are the same, focused entirely on gameplay and the world. Bloodborne has little story and no character development. Yay for double standards.

Who hasn’t seen Western journalists with far less knowledge about Russia seem utterly stultified by the fact that in spite of Russia’s economic tailspin Putin still enjoys ridiculously high approval ratings of 84-85%?
Yeah, this is because that number is a lie. You can't have a true opinion poll without 100% freedom of press. Much less so if someone from the gubbermint comes up to your door and asks "Do you think Putin is doing a good job?"

If you say no, you might be taken away at night or some shit. Of course people will say yes.

Not taking away from the rest of the article because it is great. Just thought I'd say something about that.

You do realize the 2nd amendment says "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Meaning they didn't intend for literally all citizens to just walk around with guns. It just somehow got twisted into that. At least that's how some interpret it. The part where it says " the right of the people to keep and bear Arms" is what causes the confusion.

The founding fathers just worded it weird.

At least we can all agree Dark Souls 2 "hard for the sake of hard" is a fact. Those stupid add on's for bosses and what not are just retarded, and all they do is the same 3 swings.

1. Left

2. Right

3. Thrust/sweep
oh you hated fighting 2 gargoyles at once? Here, fight 6.

That was the stupidest thing ever. I was only able to complete it once. I didn't even think it was possible when I first started trying to beat them.
with 40 faith they get like two shotted by great lightning spear >.> that's the only way I ever killed them
Oh my god, screw that boss fight. That was literally the face of them running out of ideas. They even used the same music. I don't care how good you are, that fight is just unfair and retarded.

Naoto, you should try your hand at Dark Souls 1. It really is just as amazing as BB with the same magic and everything.

Avoid DS2 though if you're not huge on it. I honestly don't consider it canon ._.
while it's nowhere near the masterpiece that is dark souls 1, I enjoyed dark souls 2 a ton, and I'm hoping the scholar of the first sin fixes the ending and it releases on ps4
It does make the ending better, yes. And I enjoyed it too (over 200 hours), it just had a lot of bad's to it.

Also, cool music for you guys.

So you don't have any actual reasons as to why it's bad?

Its okay for a game to be hard but at this point they avoid allowing people to have fun. They just throw stupid amounts of sword eating enemies at you.
Flawless logic.

If people didn't enjoy the games they wouldn't sell.
>taking my wording 100% literally

I don't enjoy games that exist to be hard.
The games aren't difficult just for the sake of being difficult
Except they are.

Don't worry, I'm not.

But yeah, his logic behind his games is that they're not about "omg you died lol it's so hard". His message is that the world is persistent, and much like real life, you learn from your experiences and failures, and overcome those obstacles in the end.

Or something equally as touching.
