I don't see why from that video... the ads are how websites are ran.
mass effect 3 gets unfair hate from its ending, most people seemed to have been liking it up until then, and then they recommend against getting the game just for the ending.

[QUOTE=Lord_Ragnarok;41609788]I don't think the Second Amendment is totally necessary at this point in time. I don't think all firearms should be illegal and I would rather have them, but I don't consider it a right on the same level as something like speech/expression or the right to a fair trial. I like firearms. I'm one of those people who wants to punch people who call magazines "clips" in the face. There was one time where firearms were simple and a militia had a fighting chance against the government, but that's just not going to happen today. And even if all guns were illegal, a large group of people combining resources would be able to acquire/produce whatever small arms they wanted to obtain. There are rare situations where having a pump-action shotgun in your house is a perfect response to a home invasion. Overall, I would prefer to be convinced that gun control doesn't work because I would really like to own an AA-12, but if it does, there should not be lax gun laws.[/QUOTE]
I don't think the First Amendment is even followed anymore given that the government can just point at things they don't like and associate them with terrorism, we should get rid of that too. We can push for change, criticise the government all we want, but in the end those who do are just terrorists. Not to mention that protesting gets us nowhere these days. There was one time where protests would actually get something done and you could yell anything you want without having a giant "TERRORIST" stamp printed on your shirt, but that's just not going to happen today.

I really, really did not enjoy playing The Witcher 2. I've heard so many good things said about it and I really really wanted to like this game, but the levels to me feels way too linear, I find the quest system and inventory disorganized and tedious, and worst of all I feel the controls are absolutely horrid and illogical. (I was especially annoyed by how I was forced to reach over to my keyboard to sheathe my sword because there was no button on the gamepad assigned to that action and I was countless times raped by disgruntled city guards until I googled what button I had to use to sheathe)
Maybe it plays better on console, or maybe it's absolutely meant to be played with mouse and keyboard (though I tried and the way all the weapons and magics are assigned to 1,2,3,4,5 etc was all random and inconvenient as hell and I thought the game might have been designed more around a controller)... however to me, this game really did not feel like a game that belongs on the PC. It to me felt like a graphically advanced Fable 1 with worse controls and combat.
Sorry guys. /v/ was thoroughly displeased by this opinion and called me a casual :v:

Once you figure out that Crtl is the the best way to change weapons and spells you'll find combat to be much easier. Sheathing swords is pretty easy, just press the key you used to pull out the sword, Steel (1), Silver (2) default.

Maybe it was just terribly optimized for the gamepad then. I'll try it again some other time, but right now I just can't say I had a pleasant experience with it.

It's miles ahead of much of mainstream TV, if the writers cut down on the amount of sex scenes and gratuitous nudity and focused more on the plot of the books then it would start growing into its potential as a show.

No book or video should be banned, that being said, Hunger Games is definitely not deserving of its fame, but few things are.

That is actually a pretty witty response. While that's similar, it isn't quite the same thing. Legal firearm ownership offers almost no protection of rights (other than the the right to own the firearms) anymore. Expression, however, is, even if the government tries to suppress it. Without freedom of expression, there can be no functioning democracy, and the more you are free to express, the more free a country tends to be. Firearms, however, do not hold the same power that they used to. And, even if people get in trouble, the people who leak information that is damning to the government have much more strength to insure our freedoms.
Basically, freedom of expression has a stronger ability and is necessary to ensure freedoms, whereas firearms do not offer the same benefits.
Also, thank you. Everyone loves cacodemons. How can anyone not?

Doesn't seem like a very unpopular opinion.

It plays [I]worse[/I] on mouse & keyboard, if you can believe that.
I was able to grit my teeth through the bad controls, pacing, inventory, and the whole bucketload of problems the game had for its intriguing (if rather generic setting) and fun AND frustrating combat (how it manages to achieve both at the same time is beyond me.) I love it, but it has some fairly huge problems I cannot overlook. The first (and biggest) is how confusing the whole damn thing is if you skip the tutorial. This is one of those games where you [I]need[/I] a tutorial. I skipped because the tutorial was slow and boring me to tears and I just wanted to get on with it.
Big mistake.
Then I get sucked into combat with 3 or so enemies and I have no idea what to do. I mean, I could dodge, block, and attack well enough, but my lack of timing coupled with the fact that you need (and I mean [I]need[/I]) to use the spells made it impossible. So I go back, do the boring, glacier slow tutorial, suffer through it and learn the magic system.
Then I fucking forgot what each rune does.
Seriously, the minute I exited the tutorial all that knowledge dissipated. This was likely my own retardation, but I feel like they would be way fucking easier to memorize if they didn't use weird "magical" names that sound like they were ripped out of an African translation book. I can barely memorize my own native language, let alone a fictional one.
There are too many keyboard shortcuts and the menus are slow to load and confusing to navigate and they just stick a fucking fork into the pacing. Preparing for a big battle with multiple enemies? Time to meditate to open a menu to open a menu to the menus. Than it is time to use unresponsive mouse controls in an attempt wrestle in what item you wanted. Crafting potions was absurdly difficult for me the first few times because they somehow fucked up selecting an item and moving it to a slot. Instead it just moves to a slot automatically like it is fucking Skynet becoming self aware and it wants to fuck up my plans.
Even clicking on things in the world to open them was a pain in the ass because you have to "look" at them, and the game always has trouble deciding where the fuck you are looking.
[B]TL;DR[/B] The whole game has the distinction for being one of my favorites and least favorites. The unintuitive design makes the thing a chore to play, but the world and characters make it fun to experience, if that makes sense.
Speaking of games with good setting and bad gameplay, this one is going to get me killed, but I don't like Morrowind. What little I managed to suffer through was fantastic visually and the world was crafted well. It was a good departure from the standard fantasy setting that Oblivion and Skyrim have. But the gameplay is [I]horrid[/I]. The player moves at a snails pace when he/she first starts. That was the least of my frustrations but it still royally pissed me off, mostly because it was a limiting factor meant to make the small world seem big (to be fair, there was little that could be done about the map size). Aside from that, my biggest issue was the terrible melee combat. When I hit something with a sword and it clearly shows me hitting said thing, the blow better damn well connect. I don't want to hear a clang and then get some message that said thing has "dodged" or "parried" my attack. If it did, then you better damn well play and animation showing him parrying my attack. Basically, the combat is non-existent. It plays like a D&D campaign and all the character is there to do is initiate the combat and click the attack button, and the rest is all based on skills and levels and you better have a good fucking imagination because Bethesda apparently never heard of "visual feedback".
GTA and Saints Row are really different.
Same happens with Battlefield and Call of Duty.

Good time to drop this one.
I hate EVE Online. From a personal perspective I don't like it's gameplay and from an outside opinion I think it is a highly overrated time waster that people only like because of its addicting nature.
I cannot fathom how anyone likes a game that has an interface like a fucking Excel spreadsheet, but everyone on FP seems to love it so I guess I'm the odd one out.
