Lurker im interested. Where do u draw the line? Am I worse than a murderer for stealing gum from a store? Am I worse than a murderer when I steal someone's TV? Their car? Rob their house bare? Do you really think that life without a car, TV, computer, nice clothes, jewellery etc is worse than death? Because that's pretty much what you're saying. By saying that theives are worse than murderers because they leave you with a less enjoyable life, you're saying death is preferable to living without material goods. do u [I]really[/I] think this is true? Or do you just need to take a minute and think about why your opinion is pretty dumb (and vain)?

I got so fixed on that objects= happiness, but that isn't true at all. Happiness comes from finding all the little things in life that makes it worth living. I'm sorry for posting such a dumb statement. Originally I had thought that if you were to be robbed so you had nothing left your life would be worthless. But your life is worth more than mere possessions.

[QUOTE=Primigenes;47052413]What the fuck are you even saying? If someone fucking kills you then that means its good for them to steal valuables? So its fucking better to kill people so they don't need their items then to still items from them while they're alive? Why the fuck is this so centered specifically on fucking items? When you kill someone, first and foremost you just fucking ended a life. Who gives a shit that he won't be needing his fucking shoes anymore, holy shit[/QUOTE] At that time I kept thinking that more belongings= happiness, but after taking in what people said I changed my mind. I saw that life is more precious than mere belongings. [QUOTE]How the fuck did you even come up with something this dumb.[/QUOTE] When feel like shit you say shitty things.

I'd say your statement is really dumb, like what sane parent would say that?. Also someone did question this thought of logic; [QUOTE=mikeyt493;47046545]Lurker im interested.

Wolfenstein The New Order is better than Half Life 2.
[QUOTE=Genericenemy;47054776]Wolfenstein The New Order is better than Half Life 2.[/QUOTE] They're 10 years apart, I don't think a straight up side-by-side is a fair comparison
They're also two completely different types of FPS games. But if you like Wolfenstein's combat more, I totally agree with you.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;47056412]Half Life 2 is an ambitious game for its time, but doesn't hold up very well today.[/QUOTE] I can agree with this to a certain extent, mechanically, I feel as if the game's aged gracefully. Visually, that's a different story. The first Half-Life is where I have problems with mechanics (a niggle being that the soldiers when introduced are complete bullet sponges and had really good accuracy with hit scan weapons iirc), it could also be contributed to playing more modernised games and then jumping back into an older one being jarring.
[QUOTE=Genericenemy;47054776]Wolfenstein The New Order is better than Half Life 2.[/QUOTE] While I will admit TNO had some better mechanics in terms of its combat, and an actual semi-stealth system. HL2 did a better job of balancing combat and story, as well as fighting on the move. A lot of TNO's combat took place in closed off arenas with you moving out of them once the enemies were clear, HL2 worked better with having the fight move with you with smaller pockets of enemies positioned so levels felt like a more consistent experience.
[QUOTE=NikoChekhov;47055734]They're 10 years apart, I don't think a straight up side-by-side is a fair comparison[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's like saying Super Mario World is better than Super Mario Bros 1. You're not wrong, but consider the impact that the latter had. Who knows what the current landscape of single-player FPSs would look like without Half-Life 2.
I don't think Duke Nukem Forever is that terrible of a game. Maybe if it was released like, ten years ago (!!!!) it would have been a GOTY or something.
Traditional turn based RPG's battles suck. Stick of Truth I give a pass to because A), they aren't random encounters, and B) there's a level of player input during the attack. I'm just bired by RPG's like Pokemon now a days I guess.
At least SoT was able to engage me and made me laugh, i just get frustrated now with random encounters and "sit here and watch" combat in some RPG's. It's boring. I'd rather have a piss easy engaging game, as opposed to a dull challenging one. Most likely my opinion has to do with all my time spent in Warband, plus I used to play a fuckload of Pokemon (i clocked at least 100 hours on each one I owned)

They are perfectly comparable to me, age doesn't matter.

Even though action commands aren't that intensive of inputs, it's still nice that you're rewarded for proper reaction timing in combat.
[QUOTE=Leo the Leo;47059036]This is why I like the Mario RPGs. Even though action commands aren't that intensive of inputs, it's still nice that you're rewarded for proper reaction timing in combat.[/QUOTE] That's pretty much how SoT works, just without South Park's humor.

While the combat in the two first Fallout games wasn't anything revolutionary, it wasn't the reason why I couldn't get into JRPGs anymore. It was the role-playing aspect of the two games. By roleplaying I don't mean I'm going to write this novel about how I unsheathe my sword and stick it into some generic mook's face on an IRC channel, instead I'm talking about the different choices the player is able to make in the game. In Fallout 1 and 2, there are multiple solutions to quests and such and NPCs will react to what you've done. In games like FF6 and Chrono Trigger, there's not much of that. You don't really have any say in what your character does other than moving around in the world and deciding how will you slay this innocent woodland critter for a handful of gold coins, whereas you can fully get into the role of your character in Fallout 1 and 2. You do what you think your character would do in that situation. While games like Final Fantasy 6 are still excellent in their own way, I don't consider them to be true RPGs.
A lot of people, including myself, enjoy the turn based combat system for the tactical element though.
strategy games are bad

Most FPS games that come out today still don't match up to it, the lip-syncing, the animations, how the story is presented, they're all better than most modern games not just FPSs. The mechanics and gameplay in general still hold up well today too, the only thing that has really makes it look dated is how empty the levels are.
