Eh, forgot about Halo 2 there for a moment. You play most of that game as the Arbiter as well really. Its only during a few key moments that you play as the chief. And his gameplay was rather awful. Then in Halo 3 the heroism on your part also gets significantly downplayed. The entire game is presented as you being an…

Pretty much. Its kinda sad really, I mean, the place these people inhabit must be so dark and angry. I prefer the real world, its far from perfect, but at least its inhabited by folks who genuinely try to be a little better and learn from their mistakes. Even if progress is slow, there is progress.
Well yeah, I’m not trying to compare Lincoln to Wilson. I’m just saying that they are both people and therefor have a degree of complexity that gets ignored if you turn them into heroes or villains. Again, it should be possible to acknowledge that someone did both good and bad things.
Even if he was speaking his mind, would that really diminish his accomplishments? Can’t historical figures be treated like human beings, people who have good AND bad sides to them?
In an individualist culture which places an unreasonable amount of emphasis on people being ‘authentic’ the suggestion that someone is ‘politically correct’ is code for being ‘unauthentic’. Why this is the case? My guess its because the people who use it are actually deeply cynical about the human condition and…
They did it in Sweden and a bunch of times in the Baltic states.
What, you think this isn’t going to have political repercussions?
Well they are definitely gonna take that mile when you shoot down one of their airplanes when it wasn’t actually attacking you.
Actually Russian planes have simulated attacks against NATO ships and European countries. Still though, its generally better not to shoot, in all probability it gains you nothing while it might cost you a lot.
There have been a few cases where they did penetrate other countries airspace. Not in the Netherlands though.
Well they do often penetrate NATO airspace with heavy bombers. Usually they just get escorted out by NATO aircraft.
Yeah but he has a pretty bad view of what fascism is. The form he presents is actually a very nice and friendly form of government. I mean think about it, in this universe people are still pretty much free to do as they please. They can work, they can have a family, they can become rich and famous, without ever having…
Is it really such a surprise that someone who spend time as a PoW has bad associations with the military as opposed to someone who never experienced such horrors first hand?
How is it that Jabba’s barge contains over a hundred people?
So I assume I can expect Ford to start supplying the US military with railgun weaponry in the near future?
“Had good gameplay. There was that. I was merely saying that, in terms of “interacting with the world”, Red Faction lets you do that to the environments (even if they respawn if you return) on a level that even Fallout 4 doesn’t. You bet I’d love to fire a rocket at a wall in Fallout and actually see it crumble…
I know, when I said spoons I also meant all the other clutter. And sure, they could have done that, but in that case I could have never rearranged my home in Skyrim ;) Other than that, I think you are overestimating how easy it would be to turn off the physics of a lot of these objects.
You act like giving up ‘picking up spoons’ will somehow prevent any of the other issues. The ability to pick up spoons comes from the ability to pick up apples, swords, shields, books, lantarns and all the other crap you can pick up in a Elder Scrolls or Fallout game. If you don’t want to pick up spoons it means you…
Yeah but now your argument literally boils down to ‘Bethesda shouldn’t make Skyrim or Fallout so interactive because its more likely to cause bugs’. Yeah thats true, but that would also go against their design philosophy and what they want out of their game, just so you don’t have to wait a few weeks before most of…
