Thanks for the reply. I was going to write a longer post on how I think your wrong but I realized that that impulse to argue about this game and censorship in general was being fueled more by my ego then any real impulse towards honest debate. In fact I really don't see me and you arguing back and forth as changing my…

Whats that gif from?

Slippery slope isn't a phenomenon its a logical fallacy. To say that one act of censorship(or as would be more honest in this situation localisation) will lead to more draconian censorship in the future, would be an act of intellectual dishonesty. I'm assuming the intent of the designers was to to have young people in…

In the video below you'll see how boomerangs are used to hunt. It really is a pretty cool weapon.

Yet another company that hires lawyers who are more creative than their game designers.

Off topic but the real reason Supes does that is because his design was based on weight lifters and circus acrobats of the era. They wore it on the outside so they could wear tight leggings without their junk showing. Wearing them on the inside causes them to bunch up and is uncomfortable.

Did you watch the episode with the Krusty's from around the world? Irish Krusty nearly broke me with his famine era shenanigans. I've been really suprised at how good the season 25 has been so far it feels far closer to classic Simpsons. The character are finally acting as a family again and the plots are way more…

Tell that to a Coeliac. God says wheat okay to eat regardless of how much it fcks up you insides.

I've done the same. Since getting health back is now done by escaping or killing someone, I think the health meter is a left over from how in previous games you use medicine.

I understand it I just think forcing the player was the better choice and makes more sense thematically then the alternative you're describing. The alternative you describe while it would work for a game with different themes wouldn't work for Spec Ops.

And yet again I say that the choice to let the civilians go is why I disagree with you. I understand what your saying I'm just disagreeing with you. Having the choice to not use the white phosphorus would be the wrong thing for the game to do.

No I understood what you wrote I just think you're wrong. I think your solution for the phosphorous scene leaving the players decide to kill the civilians or not is completely against what the game was about at that stage of the story. I thought it would harm later scenes in the game and would change the entire…

You're not meant to be able to get a pat on the back. The whole point of the game is that its not rewarding you for killing people. The developers use that line because thats what the whole game is about. Your supposed to take responsibility for the type of games you like to play. If you like military shooters then…

No the scenario you presented assumes that a player will decide to attack the convoy. What I was saying was that giving choice to the player at this stage of the game makes no sense. Choice only comes into the game after the phosphorous scene once Walker realises he can make mistakes. Until Walker knows there can be…

I just don't think having the player blame themselves was the point of the white phosphorous scene. At that point Walker is still blaming everyone around him for the terrible decisions he makes. Having the player be able to sidestep the white phosphorous scene would have made the later actual choices less compelling.

While the Phospherous scene has no choice in it the really great scene about choice is the crowd control scene later in the game. The game keeps telling you to shoot the crowd of angry locals to continue. The screen press A to tell your men to shoot. Your Team mate keeps shouting at you to give the order.

ITs coming out on PC in HD version for like $15. It looks pretty good http://store.steampowered.com/app/260210/

Not making this up but the real accounting department of the X-Men is none other than Iceman. Who actually went to college and became an accountant after he left Xaviers.

That and they could level cap the different gyms. So if you're fighting in one of the first gyms tournaments everyone is using low level pokemon like Pidgey and Ratatat. While the end game gyms have you using Charizard,Venusaur and Pidgeot. I'm sure theres balancing issues that would need to be ironed out, for the low…

I have a cool idea for Gym leader thats totally not cribbed from the Forza announced for Xbox One( disclaimer this idea is so cribbed from Forza).
