It also doesn't help that, even though Skyrim has more improved combat compared to previous games, it still feels like hitting a walking meatbag that attacks back until it flops to the ground. In addition with enemies that become sponges at higher difficulties, the melee combat just doesn't feel satisfying at all.

If there's one thing Skyrim did get right, it's the simplicity of the stats, perks, and leveling systems. I've never actually played Morrowind or Oblivion, but based on what I've seen, the sheer number of skills and the usage of attributes and what-not is just too much for me to process and think about. I personally think less is better, and Skyrim hit the nail on the head with the way they handled character creation and stats.

when i first played morrowind, sadly i was cheating with my brother. at first we came of the boat, blah blah blah. then we tgm'd and went to someone's farm(i don't really remember his name, Ariel was it?) and we took the daedric katana/claymore, then killed everybody around. was pretty fun, but we still cheated.
[QUOTE=EmilioGB;46012495]was pretty fun, but we still cheated.[/QUOTE] It really doesn't matter if you cheat in a singleplayer game as long as you're enjoying the time spent playing it still. The whole point of a game is to have fun and in many cases cheating can make a game more fun or even keep interest in a game that otherwise would be boring.

Payday 2's stealth system is clumsy and not really fun. When you don't succeed you frustratingly have to re-do the day in the hope the security is randomised differently. When you do succeed you have an awkward few minutes of simply waiting for drills with no challenges facing you whatsoever. Assuming this stealth system is the best they can come up with, they'd have been better off not wasting dev time on it.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;46013722]If you fail while going loud you also have to redo the mission, if everyone dies or you fuck up an objective it's over, I don't see how that redoing jobs makes stealth bad since going loud has to restart just as much? Also, in my nearly 100 hours of PD2 (most of which spent was stealth) I have never seen anyone restart a mission just because the security is hard to stealth through, I've only ever heard it mentioned on FP and no where else.. You have to wait for drills while going loud too, sometimes you have to wait for MORE drills while going loud, for example on the second day of Firestarter you have to drill through two gates, and then you have to drag the server out of there while being attacked by endless waves of shields and bulldozers.[/QUOTE] The thing is, failing stealth can occur with a single blunder and is irreversible, whereas in loud you can get very close to failure and still bring it back through clutch revives or hostage trades. It feels much more like a slap in the face when the last 10 minutes of sneaking were revealed to be a waste because of one error. About drills, being challenged by enemies is exactly what keeps it exciting. Their gameplay impact carries over from PD:TH as a defend the point objective. In stealth mode, then, drills are a defend the point objective with nobody to defend it from. Firestarter is an anomalous example of good design where stealth lets you bypass the drill - on the other end of the scale you have the small bank heist where you can just make a cup of tea while you wait for the thermal drill to run. I really don't know what to tell you about restart rates. I see hosts ragequit or restart pretty often when stealth is failed - much, much more often than I see loud being failed.
A lot of people dismiss Saint's Row 1 as a GTA knockoff (usually because they heard from someone else that it was a GTA knockoff) and just play SR2 onwards, but I actually really liked SR1 and think it's well worth playing.
Many jobs (both public and private sector) provide very little or no societal or economic benefit aside from acting as an excuse to give someone an income and the resulting consumer demand. The resources they use in fuel to travel to work and whilst they are at work (both monetary and environmental costs) are basically wasted. With a Basic Income they would potentially be able to continue adding to consumer demand whilst working towards something more useful like exploring and developing new skills and even helping with charity work, etc.
I personally disagree with universal suffrage.

[QUOTE=spiritlol;46015519]I personally disagree with universal suffrage.[/QUOTE] I only agree in cases where people vote for racist/sexist/moronic reasons. If you mean that blacks/women/whatever shouldn't be able to vote, that's pretty low.

I might be going insane? Here's an unpopular gmod related opinion, DarkRP doesn't have to be terrible. Servers that drop the idea of "serious rp" often end up being decently fun to muck around in.
It was originally in my reply to you on the last page but I decided to post it separately instead as it wasn't directly responding to your reply... :P so you're not going insane

I'm an adult and I think voting is just a headache waiting to happen. I have more important things to do with my life than be politically informed, like college studies or earning money at work. Not to mention half of the political commercials they air on TV is just defamation and exaggeration. I don't learn anything about either side, and even if I do, I can't help but feel like they're just lying to get votes.

You get a lot of people who actually know about the policies which are being voted on who don't vote because they feel it won't accomplish anything but at the same time you get just as many people who have no idea what the hell they're even talking about who vote on it because X politician they normally agree with or X person who they respect said they should. The US's way is overall the more proper way in my opinion but they also need to do something about properly educating people on what they're voting on.

If you complain about economic and political decisions and you didn't bother to participate in how they were carried out, it's your own fault.
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;46022670]What if the participation has no effect on government because of Crony Capitalism? The american people can't do shit unless they're a rich CEO who isn't greedy.[/QUOTE] Fair point, but what I was saying is, voting is the biggest voice that most citizens have in matters and not voting does more harm in the long run. It's a flawed system, definitely, but it's an important way to show opinions.

On Election Day, I stay home. I firmly believe that if you vote, you have no right to complain. Now, some people like to twist that around. They say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain,' but where's the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote -- who did not even leave the house on Election Day -- am in no way responsible for that these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess that you created." - George Carlin
