Sometimes it's those who cry for peace and say no to war who cause far more harm than those willing to fight.

im not saying "no" to war. sometimes it is necessary. but you seem far too eager to go to war with a powerful national adversary.

Why do people want to avoid confilict with Russia? I don't get it.

is it really that difficult for you to grasp why some would want to avoid war with one of the US' major power rivals

i dont think it is
Is it that difficult for you to grasp that it won't come to using nukes?

We shouldn't be so afraid to tell Russia what for.

i made no mention of nukes so i dont know why youd bring that up.
So what's the big deal?

because we'd be going to war with another superpower.

i dont know why youre being so obtuse.
Russia is nowhere near a superpower, despite how much they try to project they are.

And to answer your point directly, so what SHOULD we do? Continue sanctions? As much as I'd love to, and as much as Europe is slowly finally coming on board to actually buffing up their military (thanks, Poland), Trump seems all too eager to get rid of those sanctions.

let me reiterate, then

"because we'd be going to war.

i don't know why you're being so obtuse."

we shouldnt be eager to send troops to fight anywhere. that should be a last resort.

Initial notices:

Wormholes that lead to Expert Missions are now noted on the map (thank god).

New match-making features for versus or cooperative (untested, but that's the impression I got).

Level cap is increased to 85, just to confirm. Must talk to Guru first.

It comes out on the 20th, not tomorrow (the 15th).

I'm excited to train under Cooler, Bardock and Future Gohan, but they really need to bring more outfit sets to the game. Wigs, too.

Oh shit, nice. What about the new trainers?
It should still be the same as before, just no Hit because he's paid

Don't really see the value of the paid DLC. I haven't watched Super and I don't like the designs of Hit, Cabba and Frost.
Well there are people who have watched Super and like the designs of Hit, Cabba and Frost. There's value for them.

Okay. That has nothing to do with what I said.
You said that there was no value in the DLC. Maybe not for you, but for others there is.

I said I did not see value in it. What other people value is entirely irrelevant, because I'm specifically talking about my values.

Now what would be cool would be movie DLC for stuff like Bojack and Hirudegarn as well as new custom character options (hairstyles mostly).

I only play Xenoverse with my created character so new characters makes no sense. New instructors are cool but ultimately underwhelming.

My mom is pretty but she's not someone I would say I'd be attracted to. Blonde, dramatic and feminist.

My dad has this Will Hunting meets Michael Corleone thing going on so I assume that's what draws women to him. I wouldn't say he's good looking.

playstation has the gall to charge us more than we're accustomed to for an inferior service.

just make mw backwards compatible pls

id rather then just allow backwards compatibility for all these games than remaster them
Why wouldn't you want a GTA SA which is using the GTA 5 engine along with superior graphics? The problem with backwards is that if it's the 360 version, then we're going to get the shitty mobile port of the game.

cuz remasters are cash grabs that dont really accomplish anything.

What things from today do you think will suffer from the Mandela Effect in the future
The Arbiter never teamed up with MC in Halo
Nobody said "this isn't even my final form" at any point in Dragon Ball Z.
Do people think that? It's quite clearly just a made-up meme.

i wouldnt say that

4 is literally irrelevant
1) Killed off Cortana - just to revive her in the next game.
2) Introduce a new leader of the covenant who opposes the Arbiter (with three novels revolving around him + Spartan Ops) - kills him in the next game, in a fkn cutscene.
3) Get MC to 'face his humanity' and think about stuff - do not talk about it in the next game, don't even show how MC and Blue team re-united. I really think it would have been an amazing cutscene to see John's old friends welcome him back. (I know it was done in escalations, but c'mon. If Osiris got a cool intro, why not blue team?)
4) Fight Didact and make him go away - kill him off in a comic
5) Prometheans are controlled by Didact, Didact is dead, why are Prometheans still hostile towards humans?

Its like Halo 4 did not even happen.
What was the reason for Halo 4 and the books becoming irrelevant? Did 343 decide to change the direction of the story with Halo 5(Just like Bungie changing the Forerunner's from being human in CE, to them being their own thing) or were they running out off time with Halo 5 which resulted in the OG story being scraped for the half assed thing we have now?

If the "leaks" are true, a bunch of factors:

-Microsoft wanting Cortana dead in H4 so they could release Cortana siri thing and not have it associated with a game character. This backfired massively so Microsoft decided they should bring Cortana back in H5 to keep sales up.

-Similar to the backfiring thing from Cortana, Spartan Ops was being used to experiment with introducing new Spartans to replace MC, as Steve Downes wants to retire from voice acting. Everyone hated Majestic and Co. Along with SpOps in general so that forced the creation of anew group (Osiris) and a series of comics created to cut all ties to SpOps out of the canon (Escalation). Also why Jul was killed in Mission 1 and Halsey's "revenge" forgotten.

-Halo 5 was originally pitched as a spin off game focusing on Locke and co hunting MC in an open world style game very similar to ODST, only with multiple hubs and a larger role for Artemis. Closer to what was advertised (and concept art of infinity hub and stuff supports this). MS changed it so it would be a main game and this, combined with the points above, pretty much caused the atrocity we got.


TLDR: Backlash from a bunch of stuff in Halo 4 meant MS wanted all ties to that stuff gone.

I can link the video I got this from if you want. It seems pretty believable and in line with what we do know.

i am so sick of this shit happening to games man

publishers FUCK off
