  1. A state if left to form that will be a breeding ground of terrorists. Think of the Taliban Afghanistan but worse since IS' founding principle is to very antagonistic to non-Sunni Muslims who do not follow their ideals. They are very cut and dry when it comes to their beliefs... very cut and dry. We have a choice of striking first or wait for the next attack. The US and their allies are choosing to strike first which I have to agree with. Though I'll reiterate my feelings about the US going: I have a feeling it'll be a very long rabbit hole we are going into (Imagine if we are stringing along the Turks, who's are really the boots on the ground, with promises of making their own state then crush that dream? That an easily created fucking enemies for a hundred years.). Really, the US has been at war in some form or another in the Middle East/Afghanistan for pretty much my whole life. Frustrating to think about really. Anyways... the IS cannot even function if we leave them be since nobody recognize them. They don't have a China who will send them humanitarian aid and they don't even accept humanitarian aid since they fucking kill the aid workers. At best they become the 2nd North Korea, a mere nuisance, but one that can potentially engage in sending terrorists everywhere. In any case, the IS might just devolve into a lawless land. Think Yemen but bigger and, again, more dangerous. My face:
  2. Solid gameplay with the structuring of rewards that leaves something to be desired... not to mention the story. Why Bungie fucking separated a good deal of the lore into the Grimoire cards that can only be accessed on Bungie's website, I don't know. I was confused* what the fuck the Hive were in relation to the Fallen. All I knew were the Hive looked different than the Fallen and they fight each other. Then you had the Awoken race which I play as. Where the hell did I come in? The Grimoire cards explains/clarifies it all. *Another honorable mention is the part where you first talk to the Speaker during that cutscene. By looking at him, I knew he was important but I didn't know who the hell he was but now he's talking to me about being a goddamn hero that must fight the Darkness. The Hive places on the Moon man. It felt like I walked into Minas Morgul and I'm Maldalf the Black. I have yet to get to Mars, Venus or the Reef. I look forward to them.
  3. I haven't tried to use the shotgun for ranged kills but it seemed normal for me (I didn't mod it for long range though so there is that). You know what was bullshit (as far as games goes)? Battlefield BC2 shotgun with a slug. I counter sniped a sniper from across the map with one before. The bullet had barely any bullet drop so it was more or less point at the enemy pixel and shoot. Fucking glorious for me but I bet the other dude was fuming. For Destiny PvP, I have been using it the old fashion way. In your face full blast. If that doesn't do it, a melee to finish the enemy off. It's the same thing that I did in Halo 2.
  4. Did I just background research out my thesis?

      Time to change your thesis!

      Actually, even further digging indicates that I got bigger fish to fry that is related to my project. The kind that makes me giddy.

  5. I need to get to the late game like now. I'm not even done with the Moon and I'm already level 16. I must serve my Queen.
  6. Not really a trailer but a reveal... After thinking about it for a bit, I'm just going to say that I am disappointed and well, there isn't much more to say than: What the fuck?

    Oddly funny to me.

    Personally though, it's the 970 that gets me.

    Windows 10

    Oh hey, looks like I can put a computer to sleep or shutdown with just the keyboard again. With m+kb, you got to right click the Windows icon and then choose the option you want. I'm not aware of a pure keyboard way to do it. I wonder if Windows 9 can recognize between people using m+kb and touch so that m+kb will pull up the more traditional start menu and touch will pull up the one 8.2 uses now. Alternatively, they can allow people to pick and choose what comes up.

    I use both since I'm a true American.
  11. Well, I'm confident in saying that Metal Gear franchise since at least MGS1 to all main series games has been solid. I think the only one that didn't have as much punch was MGS2 due to the very sudden appearance of Raiden (Otherwise the game played fine). So yeah, Metal Gear is the exception to the rule of being cautious. Doesn't mean that I don't have my doubts but then again... this is Metal Gear. I also got time to watch this. That was a fun watch, especially working with Quiet. Having her presence being something like a Predator? Yes. Having her knocking off a helmet so you can get an instant KO shot? Yes... Having her shoot a grenade so it flies towards a helicopter? Holy fuck yeah. DD should be a bit more subdued but I imagine her/him has a headphone so you can more or less command DD like you can with Quiet. Also I never considered that enemies can pop the balloons. In multiplayer during the Motherbase missions, does the two player ever have a chance to see each other? If so then that means the home team can start shooting the balloons out of the sky. It should be interesting. lastly, the walls... I think you got to see cracks on the walls in order to climb them. I wonder if you can climb trees... either way, I think rockclimbers are having a hard on.
  12. Shit goes to hell fast. It quickly devolves to me trying to stay back so I don't get 1 hit KO. During my second public event, I made my first encounter with the orb enemies which scared the crap out of me. You know the fresh recruit in sci-fi shows or whatever who goes "What the fuck is that!?" when faced with an unknown enemy? That was me. And they were a few levels above me. So yeah, public events are awesome.
  13. But then it would require an animation studio for it to jive well with the rest of the game. That is why a Valkyria Chronicles model is intriguing. The models were used for both gameplay and cutscenes. Disgaea doesn't seem like it can.
  14. There's really not much they can visually improve on. Having 3D models wouldn't be a good thing and if you try to smooth out the terrain, it'll start looking weird. Unless of course Disgaea gameplay suddenly turns into something more like Valkyria Chronicles (minus the shooting bit)... actually, would that work? Could Disgaea still be wacky in that sort of perspective?
  15. I've gotten used to not being able to trade games in. It's always a gamble on getting a game on launch or very near launch (e.g., SimCity's problems fell under the radar since no one was able to play it long enough to really make the problems apparent). I only took the plunge with Destiny since from the impressions that I got from you guys, it is a fine game. I think the only major sticking point is how the drops/decrypting works. Otherwise, it's either cosmetic problems (The 3rd person animation leaves things to be desired) or its only temporary (Earth is boring but it gets better with each planet). There's really not much you can do with lore, that takes a while to build up (though screw having to go to bungie's website to check some of it out). Also you screwed up with TPP. It's "WHOOOOAAAA OOOOOOOOO".
  16. 3/5 for the first (?) PvP bounty. I got better with each match where I find spray and pray weapons aren't doing me any favors. Thus I have a handcannon. I think I only seen myself running around with it which makes sense... it's an unforgiving weapon class. Low ammo per cylinder and its pretty short ranged. Makes for a fun time though when deaths really don't matter as much than captures and holds. My impressions so far of the PvP is positive. I personally got to learn how to double jump better then I think I can be more consistent in moving around. The levels are designed in such a way that it offers quite a bit of creativity in going at it. The cluster grenade in tight hallways is a favorite of mine, especially when I toss it behind the enemies to force them to think fast. It either to come out or stay put. They usually stay put or even backpedal. Running into a group of people with a super is nice too. Maybe I like it because I haven't played competitive multiplayer games in a while. Lastly... I guess there is a sword in this game. Dagger really but I'm quite sure there is a super powerful gun that more or less 1 hit KO people. I wonder what that is. Good purchase. No regrets so far.
  17. It's SquareEnix we're talking about. There is nothing positive about them anymore.
  18. Infinite taught me to not be too hyped about a game... somewhat. It's great but expectations were too high. The first two DLCs kind of soured the whole deal too. The third DLC though... oh man.
  19. It's there so Ganon can finally kill Link due to a designer's stupidness. And DW games are fantastic if you don't mind "dumb" games. Just level up and enjoy wrecking hordes of enemies.
  20. That was/is the plan. XII's ADB is fantastic but yeah, it seems like we'll be getting a Kingdom Hearts battle system offshoot. I'm still in the camp that if Final Fantasy's battle system evolved to anything, it would be what Kingdom Hearts did. While it's not turn-based and it is more frantic, it had real-time spells and summons. In ways it reminds me of Brave Fencer Musashi (I wouldn't be surprised if Square got experience from making BFM). Note, I'm not saying it will feel right... it's just what would be acceptable. Besides, face it. Final Fantasy as we knew it is long dead. Time to let that dream fantasy die.
  21. I did. PSN shows that I do indeed got Destiny purchased for the PS4. Now Destiny's PS4 page is just like all my other PS4 games that I got via PS+. I guess that settles that. You know why I am so confused? Articles like these. But PSN already shows that I purchased it (Another image of my download list). The thing is that articles like Polygon's (Then again, it is Polygon...) makes me uncertain as fuck. Then, of course I could go directly to the source. https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5372 I should be good.
  22. Actually, why is a convertible offroading?
  23. The Metal Gear Collection 2014 is a clothing line. I can only sum up my reaction like so...
  24. I should get a PS4 but in the meantime... it's not bad. The Warlock is a total badass with its force melee. Add in the fact that its secondary is a shotgun makes me jelly. When presented with a choice of weapons to purchase, of course I go with the handcannon. Fuck spraying bullets. I'm walking up to a group of enemies with my six shooters and trusty shotgun. Now for the AI... it could be better I think. Chase me or flank me, damn it. Don't allow me to go behind a corridor where you guys won't go while I slowly load my handcannon and shotgun. At least I saw them retreat to a better position, I guess? Also what is up with the social hub being 3rd person? There's no weight or anything to the animations. It's borderline acceptable in this day and age but I suppose it could be a lastgen problem? Anyways, it seems like I could have multiple characters. I need someone that will be good with a LMG of sorts then I'll be golden.
