Personally I think gta iv is by far the worst 3d gta. I think it's legitimately a bad game. It's not fun at all.
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;46435836]San Andreas I can definitely see but honestly why anyone still wants to play anything else GTA before IV I just do not understand[/QUOTE]
If it worked properly on newer OSes I'd still be playing the original GTA. Driving in that one was a lot of fun, though the view distance was an issue.
I think GTA IV was slightly better than San Andreas
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;46436732]Meat is meat.
Give me dog, cat, deer, squirrel, snake, as long as it taste good/is disease free, no complaints from me.[/QUOTE]
Squirrel, Deer, Snake. Yeah sure whatever. Cat and Dogs. No, and I'll tell you why, because as a species, we domesticated them to be our pets.
We bred them to be our companions, who would protect us or just give us comfort, and when you eat them it's like breaking one of the only contracts built into our species. Morally, it's right below cannibalism.
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;46440029]Uhh Dogs are widely eaten in some parts of the world. And Cats.
When a human is on the verge of starvation, you can't be picky.
Morally? How moral is it we bred dogs to be tiny little purse monkies who now have ZERO chance of survival on their own?
I'm saying these things as a dog owner, and I love the tiny little purse dog we have. I hope you're not assuming I'd eat a dog that was someone elses or my own pet?[/QUOTE]
Yes, they eat dogs widely in asia and southeast asia. It doesn't mean it is right. Even over there, you will have people who are disgusted at the idea of it.
The whole species of dog (canis lupus familiaris), was specifically, over many millenia, made to be a companion to humans. It is the very first animal we domesticated. Any dog that you would eat, is a descendent of a pet. Cats are different, and much more wild than dogs, but they are still heavily domesticated.
I agree, when people are starving, and its the only chance of survival, then of course it's okay, but specifically eating Dogs and Cats over other meats is morally reprehensible.
Also, no dog has a real chance of survival in the wild. Street dogs are one thing, but there is no such thing as a dog whose natural habitat is the wild.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;46436979]i think basically every aaa release these days are at least good because i used to download horrible shitware games from germany and russia in the early 00's, and those games are fucking rough

But JoWood published Hard Truck 2
Which was fucking amazing
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;46441194]Any animal can become domesticated. Technically, cows and steer are domesticated. Horses, too.
All animals are friends to us if we want them to be. They are also food to us if we want them to be.[/QUOTE]
In western societies pet animals (dogs, cats, etc...) are considered companions and not a resource to be consumed.
So in any western nation, then yes it is socially reprehensibly to eat cats and dogs.

Yes, ultimately, all animals are us to do with as we please because we're the top of the food chain.
Dogs, more than any other animals, have it in their DNA to be domesticated, and not as a domestic food source, but as a companion. It's nearly as morally reprehensible as cannibalism.
There's little difference between eating something specifically designed to make your species happy and protect your species, and another member of your species.
Dragon Age is clunky as shit and boring as fuck, same with Mass Effect
I just [B]cannot[/B] get into these games no matter how many chances I give them.
Saying that Overwatch is a TF2 ripoff is fucking dumb.
[QUOTE=Skyward;46444323]Saying that Overwatch is a TF2 ripoff is fucking dumb.[/QUOTE]
At the same time saying it looks nothing like TF2 is dumb. They are superficially similar games.
Saying that a game looks like TF2 as a negative is dumb.
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;46444307]Socially of course, I'm not arguing it isn't socially reprehensible. A lot of things are socially reprehensible, bi-racial marriage used to be socially reprehensible.
Pretty huge difference between canabalism and eating a dog.
Like, huge fucking difference.
Like so huge its ridiculous and I'm afraid I can't argue with you anymore because your opinion is so far-fetched.[/QUOTE]
Obviously cannibalism is more wrong than eating a dog. I'm just asking you to consider the circumstances.
Humans and dogs have a mutualistic relationship. For the same reason the clownfish doesn't eat sea anemones, humans should not eat dogs. If the clownfish started to eat to sea anemones, they would evolve out of this mutualistic relationship and start stinging clownfish, and it would be a lose for both parties.
Same way that if humans started eating enough dogs, we would lose the symbiotic companionship we get from them. A lose for both parties.

Unless of course you dislike dogs.

League of Legends is a terrible game.
Not only that it ruins people's social lives. Two of my friends started playing and that's all they do, don't want to hang out, make up excuses for everything, grades drop

It's a fucking game. If it wasn't League of Legends it would just be another game that they would spend their time playing. You just have bad friends.
I agree the way you think.

You can say this about any game, they should have some self control. If you get sucked too far into something, then of course your RL shit's going to suffer. At least they haven't gone as far as that family in Korea who starved to death playing StarCraft.
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;46436502]You were supposed to be able to cross the Colorado river and head into Legion territory in New Vegas. Ever notice how the right half of the map has the fort and a whole lot of empty land?[/QUOTE]
I actually never thought about that. Obsidian should of done it as an addon maybe. I was really hoping for a Broken Steel type thing where you could start after the battle of Hoover Dam, but it never came.
[QUOTE=TAU!;46436711]I believe horse meat shouldn't be seen as some sort of inedible taboo. Horse meat is just meat, and it's leaner than beef.
Even if they are protecting the people under their rule and virtually eliminating any bandit/raider presence in the area, they are still ruthless, slaving warmongers.[/QUOTE]
Well, yes...morally...it's horrible. I really don't condone slavery or anything that the Legion does that is awful, because it is, but I'm trying to look at it from the perspective of a Wastelander in the years that Fallout:NV takes place in. I can talk about how the Legion mainly slaves ex-cons, raiders, bandits, but that's not even the point. We're not talking about 2014. We're talking about 200 years later in a world that has been ravaged by gruesome and horrifying things. There is nothing good anymore in the years of Fallout:NV, nor do people even remember or know how to recede to society that we have today. A prime example is how they think pre-war days was all about the sterotypical ideals of the 20's-50's. The problem of the NCR is that they're corrupt, everything is done in a slow pace, but have the advantage of being "morally good." Do I think the Legion is perfect? Or course not. Do I think the NCR can do things more efficiently? Not one bit.
Who's to say I would be allowed to live under Caesar's rule though? Who's to say, at that time, I wouldn't be born a woman, a deformed mutant or ghoul, or just not even meet their standards? Caesar's Legion can go rot in one big radioactive orgy.
Caesars Legion is the only part of that game where I'm like "these people are ridiculously, laughably evil".
Most of the other gangs are a bit more morally vague, even NCR. But Legion... c'mon man, they enslave ALL women. In addition to their other slaves, that must mean like 75% of the Legion is slaves. That's just ineffectively evil.

I personally do not see the fun in it. I've tried playing it on countless attempts and get bored in like 10 mins.
I fucking hate League of Legends and DOTA, both are shit.
Has anybody seen Overwatch? That game looks pretty awesome.
