That's like 6 mods. All of which impact your performance a bit. Add it all up and it's not worth the frame drops.

I agree that meddling wouldn't help. It's proven to backfire time and time again. I do think ISIS is an amalgamation of all of this stuff (Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc) America has gotten its fingers in.

I suppose a frustration and true approach to this, is that letting the Middle East attack and defeat ISIS as the primary force, is the right thing to do. With western support. Some ME countries could be pulling their weight more. Something we've called them out on (or Obama has) before.
ISIS is a kind of Islamic reaction, a purist and devout sect rising up against the different powers that have been running the region. Which is why ISIS will not last long with or without intervention.

But I would go as far as saying no to any western support beyond what is necessary to ensure the security of minority groups in the new states that will spring up in the aftermath of the violence. Once ISIS is bombed into irrelevance, Western support will turn (as it is already designed to) into manipulation, and the proxy war will get even hotter. ISIS is effectively nothing more than a distraction from the real issues, a violent and bloody attempt to return to cultural virility that will ultimately fail.
Yeah it does seem we always try to fuck with things when the war is one. I'd say let them manage it however they want when all is said and done. Western powers have messed up that place enough.

Haven't played it since it originally came out

The quests and story driven stuff like missions just suck

But the original base gameplay is pretty fun, building, exploring, crafting, all that sort of stuff is great

Disappointed though, that races don't matter and they stripped the race abilities, they seemed to have changed all of that
It's much better now
I'm talking about how it is now, silly

Well it's an MMO, so different races is a must have. Coulda just as easily been bunny girls from FF 12.

i can understand FF fans not liking FF15 cuz it seems to be a departure so i don't hold it against you or anything

but i mean, i'm not an FF fan so i kinda like the changes. i'm also an edgelord at heart and the emo backstreet boys vibe sits well with me
It honestly doesn't feel like a FF game, but I think after the FF 13 chronicles, FF fans are just mainly going "eh... okay I guess".

It doesn't look to be as bad as FF 13 was, but not as amazing as FF's of old. So I can understand this cautious, if not uninspired approach.

Nazis weren't killing their own people though, the whole point of Nazism was to empower them against other peoples.

There's one, and only one way to bring peace to the middle east, and even that might fail. You have to remove Islam, be it by converting the people to a more peaceful religious tradition, or turning them into degenerate coke-drinking American secularists. I don't think we have a right to force either of those things on them. I think the peoples of the middle east have a right to cultural and political self-determination, even if that means slaughtering each other. If they want peace, they have to make it themselves.

The most intervention I'd be inclined to support would be an attempt to protect or extract religious and ethnic minority groups from the violence.
I can understand Islam being a part of the issue. I won't be so blind as to say everything the religion teaches is innocent and all that crap you'd hear. But to think it's the only problem is ridiculous, especially since the region wasn't as turbulent in the late 20th century as it is now. The Middle East blow up is due to a number of things, brought on over the course of decades of build up. No one answer IS the answer for fixing that entire place. Simply getting rid of Islam won't fix it. Simply nuking them all won't fix it (I know that's not what you're saying).

The annoying and true fact, is that it won't be solved quick, it won't be solved with a few simple steps, and it won't be easy to fix it.

Genocide is genocide. Regional tribal conflicts are one thing, but ISIS is quite literally trying to purge everyone and everything back into the Dark Ages. Even if they WERE just self contained in the Middle East, they're destroying entire histories of civilizations that've helped humanity progress as a whole. Destroying ancient artifacts, burning books, purging people who think slightly different than they do, targeting their minority religion by the masses, slaughtering gays, throwing people off buildings.

If this was all just happening in a few nations in the Middle East, I'd still be worried and want something to be done. People turning a blind eye to those kinds of things is one of the reason the Holocaust happened in the first place, or the Rwandan genocide. Sorry to say this, and I know with Obama foreign policy has been a joke, but when you're one of the strongest nations in the world who were once the most dominant nation across the planet, with allies who have the advanced military personnel, you have an obligation to stop such cancers from rising in the world.

Even if it's not at your doorstep, you should want to do something. Be that actually rallying countries, increasing airstrikes, or even putting boots on the ground. Ignoring such things makes the world a worse off place.

No, I don't fucking care that a group of barbaric savages slaughter each other all the time. When they fucking grow up and drop that poisonous religion I'll care, until then fuck off. They refuse to solve their own problems but they're happy to Americans and our allies spill our blood for them.
I would argue they're trying to fix their Isis problem right now far more than America is with bombings. They're the ones on the ground getting killed and actually uniting together (as unstable as it might be) to quell a common foe.

Of course they could do more, every single country against ISIS could if you ask me. But it's not like they're not trying.

Sure there's kind of a double standard
Not some kind

it's completely double standard. You're not caring about people getting slaughtered until people of similar beliefs are getting hurt? Seems abhorrent. Isis is a cancer to humanity as a whole, not just the west.
Do Muslims in the Middle East care about our unique problems?
I couldn't tell you, nor am I really comparing them to us. I'm specifically asking what you're feeling.

So you guys are saying when ISIS is slaughtering people in their own countries, it doesn't matter and you don't care?

Doesn't that just prove my point?
I have as much right to meddle in the affairs of Islamic countries as Muslims have the right to meddle in ours.

That is, none.

Is it upsetting? Sometimes, depending on the victims. But it isn't our concern.
So you'd rather turn a blind eye if a crazy radical faction rises up and slaughters people by the thousands. Until they finally step out of their borders and get rowdy? It's not just one country either which I could understand. It's an entire region. That's akin to saying (and forgive my Godwins law here) you don't care what the Nazi's do with how they're killing their own people or doing what they do until they start slowly expanding to other places.

How? They look like typical Japanese guys trying to stand out on a model stage.

i don't know -- there's just something endearing about how intentionally edgy they've been made to look. Kinda like Eor from Winnie the Pooh.
I think the devs unironically made them thinking they look good.
yeah i know, i just don't really care what their intentions were
Well you're entitled to that opinion. I just personally think they're massively uncreative, especially given how diverse and dynamic their past characters look.

Edit: And before someone hits me with "people die every day", I get that. I can't care about every murder. I'm talking about mass killings. And that's just the tip of the iceberg with Isis.

It was tolerable for one playthrough but it certainly wasn't good enough for another or a fucking Remake from the ground up.

It wasn't that anime hot headed though. And just because it's overrated doesn't mean it wasn't good.
It's one of their best selling and critically acclaimed ones. Doesn't surprise me.

I find it odd when they attack the middle east and kill their fellow muslims (like the bombing in Kabul which killed 80), you guys don't say your typical repeated statements.

Yet when a western country gets attacked it's suddenly west vs east. At least have some consistency with your hate.
Don't include me in that. I've made several threads and posts about terrible attacks in the ME, especially back when the Taliban attacked a school and killed 200 kids.

It just gets old reporting an attack every day. There's no point to it.
I should clarify when I say "you guys", I just mean people in general. Sorta. Well, I lump them in. For example the horrible Kabul attack, no Republican says shit, yet the moment it happens in France or whatever, you hear "We need security cameras/tests for all Muslims."

You wonder why they increasingly hate the west. It's because of double standards like that and how they think their lives are insignificant to the west.

that was a quote from a muslim journalist i follow on twitter, i wasnt taking shots at you or anything.

Sanders would rather go with someone who shares some political ideology with him in the same field, than someone on the polar opposite side he reviles. For example Hillary wanted $12 for minimum wage (or something like that), and he wanted $15. He could settle for that (even though the $15 passed, it's an example). As opposed to Trump who believes it doesn't need to be raised at all. You see what I mean?

If you people can't understand this, idk what to tell you. He wants to continue the movement far after Hillary winning anyway, and if you ask me, he's done that.
