Assassin's Creed: Black Flag is the worst in the series.

AC3 is the most fun in the series.
I laughed because of how you followed that up

I think we identified the problem

What problem?
AC3 being "good"

Did I fucking say that.
sort of

Not even close.

Still better than Gen 1 tho

Disagreed.

I mean, I'm pretty critical of RSE for removing a lot of features that we saw introduced in GSC despite its new additions to the mechanics of the series, but at least it wasn't forgettable like Sinnoh mostly was.
Disagreed.

Sinnoh was far more interesting that Hoenn, with less bullshit. It's the Guardians of the Galaxy to Pokemon... it doesn't do much different from it's predecessors but it doesn't get anything wrong, either. I'll leave it at that.


Sorry, I'm not really interested in a debate about it.

Pokemon: Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald ruined the franchise (or, at least made them worse.)
wat

Let's not act like this is anything new...

Before the previous generation of Pokemon trainers left the franchise, everyone unanimously agreed that RSE were the worst.

What other mascots did the PS2 have again?...

Just those three. I've run into people claiming otherwise... for example, when the Jak and Daxter HD collection came out, the reviewer at IGN said that Jak was "way better than that other thief character" and the video is unanimously disliked.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is complete ass.

Halo: Combat Evolved is boring as fuck. Same with pretty much every Halo except Reach and 2.

Pokemon: Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald ruined the franchise (or, at least made them worse.)

Sinnoh Region is one of the best out of them all.

Assassin's Creed: Black Flag is the worst in the series.

AC3 is the most fun in the series.

Arkham Knight was ass.

Digimon>Pokemon

Uncharted is completely overrated as a franchise in general.

The Last of Us is a benchmark in video game storytelling and characterisation history.

Sly Cooper is the worst of Playstation's PS2 mascots.

Jak and Daxter>Ratchet and Clank (barely)

Jor-El Vs. Zod - Man of Steel
It has some of the best camera work I've ever seen.
YouTube


Batman Vs. Deathstroke - Arkham Origins Reveal Trailer
Just bad-ass.
YouTube


Goku Vs. Perfect Cell - Dragon Ball Z
Probably the best fight in the series, honestly. It just takes a bit long to get into.
YouTube


Captain America Vs. The Winter Soldier - Captain America: The Winter Soldier
The Russo bros. really outdid themselves with this scene. Just...fantastic. Not surprising coming from the people who directed the "A Fist Full of Paintballs" episode from Community.

I worded that poorly. Not acknowledged, necessarily -- just that the imposition negatively affects them in some way.

But again, impositions don't have to negatively affect someone to be impositions. As long as things happen to people without their consent, I would consider it an imposition.

Quote
Unless you're arguing that the cessation of experience is itself negative, which doesn't bode well with your efilist views.

Definitely not arguing that.

Quote
I'm saying that if you want to defend a categorical proposition, you need to refer to some empirical ends. So, "killing is unethical" because if everyone went around killing each other we'd have some serious problems. It could never be a moral absolute, though, in the sense that "suffering is intrinsically bad" is an absolute.

Okay, let me see if I'm understanding you correctly.

You're simply stating that the assertion "imposing death is wrong" is not always apt, right? That killing could, in some instances, be justified? Whereas the assertion that "imposing suffering is wrong" is correct all of the time. Because I agree with that 100%.

It's not like I've never talked to girls before.

That makes one of us. I've never even laid eyes on a girl.

Fortunately, talking to girls is one of the things that gets easier every time you do it.

Damn. You missed your chance to creep on some girl.

Or, you know, talk to her.

she would've taken you right there and then

For talking to her? What...?

We all know the most you'd do is get close to take a picture.

No, I wouldn't do that. That's pretty creepy.

I've been asleep for the last 6 hours, and wake up looking, let's say, not my best.

Meanwhile, the girl who we hired to clean our windows is fucking gorgeous, and she's almost done.

Fuck, man. I can't catch a break.

It has to be recognized as an imposition by the subject. Unless you can provide some examples showing otherwise...?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by that... an imposition is an imposition, regardless of whether the person acknowledges it or not.

I am finding it difficult to come up with an example where the person is imposed, unbeknownst, though.

Quote
The pain experienced at death is distinct from death itself, though.

I know, that's why I italicised "dying". But since one cannot happen without the other, I think it's unreasonable to assume that "death" isn't an imposition because the subject doesn't know it. The subject will know they're dying, but because they will soon not exist and therefore have no opinion, it somehow makes it okay?

It's a dangerous line of thought, that followed to it's logical conclusion, could be used as justification for genocide. I don't think you're genocidal, but ...
