I don’t see that as overtly political. It’s just a trend, like WW2 games when Saving Private Ryan came out, sci-fi shooters following in Halo’s footsteps, now it’s the post-apoc genre.

TBH while FC5's chopper controls are incredibly easy, I prefer BF4's controls. It takes a bit of monkeying around with the key binds (pitch/yaw on the mouse, a/d for roll) but it’s much more comprehensive. Does it get you into more trouble than Far Cry? Yes. Can you do much more with it though? Also yes.

It’s funny. My build is almost completely at minimum requirements: AMD FX-6300 (10% overclock), Radeon R9 280X (min is 270X), 8GB RAM. The game runs like an absolute dream, even on Ultra with out-of-date drivers.

doubt it. Far Cry generally runs well in my experience, even if it’s a bit demanding for hardware.

“small cooldown period”

I mean, there is probably a reason that the main course for the Whos down in Whoville (How the Grinch Stole Christmas) is a “roast beast.” Personally have never had roast beef for Christmas though.

What’s this “if” you speak of? Let’s face it: the Republicans on the committee could have their office phones ringing off the hook, have their personal phones ringing off the hook, get personally harassed in the streets and they’d still favor the Big ISP’s almighty dollar.

Wouldn’t be without precedent. IIRC DICE got into hot water with Barrett Firearms over their use of the M82 in the Battlefield franchise a few years back. They let them use the gun in the game, but it had to be (basically overpowered) and had to be used by the good guys to keep with their brand image or something.

We don’t have teabagging in the Division. No crouch button = no teabagging, so people use the Exercise emote (i.e. jumping jacks) to do basically the same thing.

but that would include thinking for yourself, and the fascists can’t stomach having to do that.

Same. At least with the flashback you don’t see the dog get blasted: with Caroline you get the whole deal with the bonus of Frau Engel pushing her head into BJ’s and Sigrun’s faces. Like seriously, is that necessary? If you played TNO you already know Engel is a psychopath, the only way it could’ve been worse is if…

First letter of each sentence: B U T T F U M B L E.

Eh, I think the epidemic goes back a bit farther than Shadow of War. Ubisoft implemented loot boxes in The Division and Rainbow 6 Siege this summer. Outside of that, I think Blizzard chummed the AAA gaming industry’s waters with Overwatch. Everyone has seen how loot boxes have been a runaway hit in that game, now all…

I wonder if there is any animosity between the (San Francisco) Giants and (Detroit) Tigers though. That said, I have some words for you mister Jets fan.

> he just can’t get it up, then Luke Cage arrives.

They did fix that. There are still some bullet sponges, but most elites will go down in an extended magazine, maybe two if you went to the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy.

As someone who’s played TCTD for over 1600hrs from beta:

Part of his backstory was that he lost that arm in the Omnic crisis, and because his family owned a booming prosthesis company he was able to get one that looked real. This was before he met the second Doomfist and well before he was imprisoned.

who’s to say it’s not a comically huge barrel shroud/handguard combo? Example: non-SBR Vectors have an NFA-compliant 16" barrel, but KRISS puts a rectangular shroud over it to fit with the Vector’s overall design.
