I hate it when games don't give me any objective. What's my objective in minecraft? Just surviving and building crap isn't enough I need to have a purpose, I need a reason to continue. I don't own Gmod but at least with that game you can play other silly and fun game modes made by other people. Also dayz looks boring as fuck for the same reasons.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;41925875]What quickly comes to mind is Mount and Blade and grand strategy titles.[/QUOTE] But can't you do side quests in mount and blade? Because that's an objective. Maybe I wasn't clear on what I meant by objective, I don't need a big main story line I just want some sort of motivation to play the game, it can be a side quest or a story filled with plotholes and terrible voice acting, as long as it is something. Were as in minecraft there is absolutely nothing to do besides build and build more.
I love main story lines, I prefer them over side quests atleast :v:

Right now, building anything more than a two-meter high dirt wall or just a hole in the ground is useless.
I know this might be unpopular to some people, but I think the console era has run its course and needs to die, aside from the obvious fact that consoles can't upgrade like PC can and end up holding back PC games, it also causes exclusive games to each system which only hinders someone who wants to play those games. If it were up to me I would love to have all my games on my PC since it will all be in the same spot. Consoles were needed at one point, but I feel they are done with that need and will only hold games back. The new consoles seem to be more comparable to PC's, but that never last's long and soon PC's will likely end up much more advanced and games being held back due to the same reasons they were held back by the last generation.
i don't see the problem with reddit at all, i find it pretty fun to browse, though the only subreddits i follow are askreddit, IAMA, breakingbad and gamegrumps, so i guess i haven't been exposed to much of the site but it lets you choose which subreddits to follow anyway [editline]22nd August 2013[/editline] i especially love IAMA, ellen mclain (the voice of GLaDOS) responded to my question once, and there's heaps of interesting people on there like ex-convicts, prison guards, carnies, and hell a huge list of actors from breaking bad have even done AMAs and a bunch of other cool celebrities like colin mochrie, i think it's an awesome way for famous people to connect with their fanbase
Fat girls complain too much about being fat, but never actually do shit to change it. inb4 butthurt: Halo 4 was just a Call of Duty ripoff. The new Footloose movie was better than the older one (imo)
It's racist to dislike a certain race, but it shouldn't be racists to dislike a certain culture. There's plenty of reasons to not like a culture. Doesn't mean the person holding those feelings is close minded.

If you have a specific interest, the subreddit for it is likely full of awesome people who want to discuss it as much as you. That's why I love /r/math and /r/physics.

Basically what JohnnyMo said. Like, what do you think people would think of FP if their first exposure to the site was LMAO Pics or the Rust sub?
[QUOTE=MrJazzy;41926197]I love main story lines, I prefer them over side quests atleast :v:[/QUOTE] In the case of The Elder Scrolls series, the main storylines have a bad habit of being boring as hell, at least for me. The only lines I've ever beaten are some quest lines and the entire Shivering Isles expansion for Oblivion. (Although there's a few quests in SI which are kinda pushing it such as one that requires a bunch of waiting and isn't entirely clear/is a bit buggy when it comes to actually completing the objective.)

Or how it is racist for someone from a white country to be racist by hating someone from another white country. I think there needs to be different words for them.

The Treaty of Versailles was not harsh enough on Germany, it left it bitter without dealing the death blow and left the door open for more problems later.

Hitler just barged through regardless of the Treaty of Versailles' terms, and Neville Chamberlain did nothing to stop him (Policy of appeasement) until it was too late.

This ain't gonna go over well, but: The Nvidia Shield is just the OUYA all over again, and the streaming is a crappy gimmick at best. On [b]non-social[/b] issues right-wing/conservative policies are more practical and effective than left-wing/liberal ones.

[QUOTE=Y'all.;41934114]why is the nvidia shield comparable to the OUYA? isn't one a console and one a PC controller?[/QUOTE] No, they're both Android consoles. It's just the Shield can be used to stream PC games if you have a certain graphics card. Which as I said: is a gimmick at most.
[QUOTE=The golden;41934368]A certain graphics card. And on the same Wifi network. And within a good range of our router so the signal is good. So yeah. If you ask me the Shield is a totally useless gimmicky piece of shit. The cost of the Shield + It's compatible video card is like $800+. That's just insane for a device which lets you play games on my couch on a tiny screen rather than at my desk with a huge-ass monitor and all my peripherals.[/QUOTE] Thank you, that's something else I never understood about the Shield: even if you do meet all the conditions to allow it to stream games: why would you? Why would you want to play a PC game on a tiny screen with an awkward controller when you are basically required to have a quality PC within 10 feet of you to do so?
The violence in the GTA franchise feels too sterile.
I don't understand why most users of FP hate "retro-styled games". Yes, they are overdone, but I'm seeing a bit of hypocrisy here, because most FP users hate people who complain about graphics....
The X-Box 360 Controller is the best Controller of all time
