This is sure to stir up some shit, but, nonetheless, I agree with much stricter gun control. It's a weapon, it's sole existence is to kill things. Of course someone'll bring up target shooting at some point, but the whole point of target shooting is to make yourself better at (potentially, I want to stress that I don't really think that every person with a gun will do so) killing things with it. It's not a knife that serves other purposes, or a hammer, or any other potentially dangerous tool that has a very clear useful purpose beyond the damage potential. It's a tool with one use, and generally I find people who hoarde and/or fetishize firearms to be off-kilter in other unpleasant ways.

Bungie >>> Valve Seriously, Valve is so painfully overrated.

Survival in GTA Online is goddamn boring and I don't understand why so many people enjoy it There isn't really much GTA about it

I'd say Fighting games are even more Stagnant than First Person shooters.
[QUOTE=thelurker1234;43031825]It's pretty sad I have to explain this people think they're fun to play[/QUOTE] I can understand people finding them fun, but like filmslacker and oizen have both said: they're a very stagnant genre and really don't offer much for full price.

Platinum Games should work with Games Workshop and make a spectacle fighter starring Lukas the Trickster.

I don't mind watching it if it's friends and family, but some random strangers playing a sport is pretty boring. I could just as well play it myself then.
I think games should strive less for graphical advancement but more so the handling of extra in game objects, npcs, and enemies. Imagine Dark Souls. With shit tonnes of invaders and summoned players.

the Pokemon games are boring, generic "RPGs" Age of Mythology is an unbalanced piece of shit MOBAs are as bad as COD eSports are not that fun watching besides maybe Super Smash, but only because in most eSports you don't get to see what's going on everywhere in the game which you do in Super Smash. Makes it a lot more enjoyable imo. oh and Super Smash Brawl sucks, it's a slow turd. Melee is far more enjoyable especially competitively

[QUOTE=Skyward;43027310]Bungie >>> Valve Seriously, Valve is so painfully overrated.[/QUOTE] They're both pretty great and'd probably get along well. They're both pretty care free as game developers. Valve probably makes a lot more money though. If only bungie went to valve rather than activision. I don't like monopolys, but i feel as if it wouldn't be terrible if valve had the monopoly (assuming things'd run the same as they do now in the future. The next "owner" could be an evil bastard" )
Crash: Mind Over Mutant is a fucking awesome game.

I don't know if any of this has been said before, so I'm pretty sure it's really unpopular. Starts out kinda mellow, then I kind of branch out into more shit. Has nothing to do with videogames, I swear. I think people who cry and whine about tumblr users are astronomically retarded. Like, people ironically going "im so done with this site XDD" Are people really that irritable that they get upset when they see somebody participating in a common trend on a site that they aren't a part of? Facepunch users would ridicule somebody if they called someone off for not liking facepunch's retarded-ass memes. People using "tumblr SJWs" to invalidate movements for minority rights are fucking idiots too. This isn't even entirely about the anti-tumblr thing, too, I really hate a lot of peoples' opinions on this site. The amount of straight up [I]hate[/I] and [I]intolerance[/I] here is really distressing.

nobody is anti-tumblr, and if they are, they're stupid because with how tumblr is set up, you literally can't be anti-tumblr without being anti-earth, or anti-universe, or etc. people are only anti-dramaqueen-sjw-blog. if you want an analogy, there's people being nice, and there's some people being creepy-needy. extremists of [I]any party[/I] ever in existence are going to be looked down upon by the majority. be an "sjw blogger" by being a nice, intelligent, [I]informed[/I] person. not by going out of your way to instigate shit. ("you" used to refer to no one in particular").

I always found the "facepunch is not a hivemind" statement idiotic, very few people ever actually say it is, at most they point out that mob mentality is in full effect, which it usually is, more often than not people just bandwagon and rubber stamp whichever opinion seems to be the majority, but responding to someone pointing this out with "hivemind" is a strawman argument.
