Ok i'm just putting this out there, but i'm I the only one that thinks that the MMO formula's is completely ****ed up? It's a game without a deep context, story, most the quest are repetition of the same types, rewards are held up and in many cases unachievable. If someone released an MMO without any social aspect it would be a horrible game.

I beg to differ sir, Vindictus has some of the best graphics on the market, an unique concept that's virtually untouched by every other MMO and it's free to play. There is money to be made by selling in-game items. Plus MMOs are a big deal in Korea and China; sport-like I would say, I would not be surprised if they had sponsors. When thousands of people visit your site daily and check your facebook page it's not hard to find people willing to pay for advertising space.

I thought Centurion was pretty cool. One of the better Neil Marshall movies. But then again I'm a sucker for gore and ancient Romans. Seconded

Because Americans need to point the finger at something while the ship goes down

I'm sure they used that as justification too while they raped eight year old girls. "The Russian soldiers were raping every German female from eight to eighty," she recounted later. "It was an army of rapists." The capacity of Soviet officers to convince themselves that most of the victims were either happy with their fate, or at least accepted that it was their turn to suffer after what the Wehrmacht had done in Russia, is striking. "Our fellows were so sex-starved," a Soviet major told a British journalist at the time, "that they often raped old women of sixty, seventy or even eighty - much to these grandmothers' surprise, if not downright delight." Dude that's like the most depressing thing I've read

And because of that I know that they could had refused, which tells me that they were either complicit or threatened. Although considering the situation in Guatemala it would be the former. Although I wouldn't be so quick to to draw analogies to slavery, since at the time of these experiments people weren't considered property and they were well aware that what they were doing was immoral. What's worse to me isn't just their willingness to infect humans with lethal diseases but the amount that they infected.

It was always too slow for me, left me open and not to mention that the game has some targeting issues. BTW, what bosses fights were those? Because I swear that most of the boss fights I remember there wasn't a target symbol.

Even with bombs the gameplay it's almost always "Quen, and fight" hell I wish there was a statistic that kept track of how many times you've used Quen, then we could compare. But what I meant by it is that aside from a few skills progression isn't really felt in combat. It feels like instead of becoming more powerful, you are just becoming competent.

No, the levels are bigger than AP. Specially Detroit city :runs away and hides:

I would put the story of Saint George and the dragon as a parable to this situation. They were sold by their governments but can you say without doubt that they weren't coerced into it?

Disagree here, Quen was the saving grace against clusters of enemies. Specially after they removed the group style; oh yeah and blocking uses less vigor if you spend points on the skill. Counter attack was pretty damn effective on mine since it took about a 3/4 of the enemy's HP. My particular problems were with the progression, aside from a few skills most were useless :cough:knife throwing:cough: and there wasn't really a change in gameplay style throughout the whole game.

I know of removing the native Australians, all involved with Eugenics. But we digress as I doubt that America's past exploitation of the south was racially motivated. The Tuskegee experiments on the other hand...

No, but it seem that the housing market it's being heralded as the catalyst for the decline. The situation was precarious before, but it was the difference of an accident to a tragedy.

Sad visit to the hospital, my grandma's red cell count dropped and she won't take a transfusion because of religion

Not to mention that Germany and Japan were already developed nations at the time of their occupations.

Thanks for that link. It does seem pretty good. Reminds me of Far Cry2, without the stupid. Never tried Far Cry 2, but Dead Island looks good. Whats the catch? People will complaint that it't too hard, it won't sell as much and another piece of innovation is drowned in a sea of crap. Edit:Dear God, I'm a cynical bastard.

Apparently it was all due to the Bush programs to increase home ownership, lenders signed out on loans that weren't sure returns and after all the defaults profits went down. Companies around wall street that were related to the housing bubble started losing money, after that there were a series of mistakes by the people in charge of said companies and here we are a bailout later. Sorry if it's not to precise, you can google the Bush program and it should take you there. @Emperor/Boo: I wish we were smart enough to protect our interests in the middle east, not only that but smart enough to secure other interests via the Middle East.

One thing I'm in love with in this game it's the C&C. From the big first one involving Aryan La Valette and how it comes back at the end, choices really seemed to really have an impact.

this reminds me of Ghost in the Shell, where every attractive woman is a cyborg-assassin this reminds me of the real world, where every attractive woman is a cyborg-assassin

I'm sorry but hating on the Witcher for having "Kill X for Y" is ridiculous. That's what Witchers do; they kill things, that guy puts too much effort on hating something rather than being funny about it. The world doesn't need another angry nerd.

I know, but I just realized how many common points are between the Witcher 2 and DA2 when you put that way.

She's either a sadist or we managed to keep it concealed better than we thought. I'm guessing the former, because in my experience all women are sadists. Is she a hot sadist?

Are you talking about the Witcher or DA?

I perfectly understand what you mean by your analogy, although I think the burden of action falls on their government not the people. It's their government who should plan on self reliance not the people suffering. I often think that the best choice for some of these places its for a throwback to neocolonialism.
