It gets very one not after a while though, did enjoy it though just not much joy when every mission becomes everyone walking in an Indian file and using cloaking devices.Agreed. Satellite Reign starts out great, but it gets incredibly repetitive after a while. Every mission becomes essentially the same. That's where Shadow Tactics, in my opinion, shows its brilliance. It's not exactly the same genre, but there are enough similarities that I feel a comparison is fair. Shadow Tactics does a far superior job of periodically introducing new mechanics, and even when all mechanics have been introduced they present new challenges with clever enemy placement and environmental crafting. In fairness, it's a lot easier to do that in a level-based game than in a semi-open world game like SR. Also, I don't want to sound like I'm taking a dump on SR. I thoroughly enjoyed it for some 12-15 hours before the repetitiveness started wearing on me and I feel I got my money's worth. Hopefully they make a SR2. I got Shadow Tactics a while back just cuz I heard you praise it. The missions are well designed and the mechanics are interesting, I just have a beef with strategy games in that all of them try to get you to play them a certain way. I will say that micromanaging in Shadow Tactics is more viable than in SR.

Then if you're for regulation why do you defend McDonalds? Why is that we criticize another country when in ours we allow the same poison as long as is within tolerable degrees? If you are argument is that poisoning is bad why are you defending slow poisoning and condemning the fast one? If you want to believe propaganda condemning US enemies for the same crap that we do, the you're free to do so. Just don't expect me to jump from that cliff.

Don't be sore

The topic of the current conversation is food. It may be convenient for your argument to ignore that, but you can have your morality discussion with someone else. Any time you eat out (particularly from a street vendor), you are risking exposure to bacteria. In the US there are regulations in place to limit that exposure. In China, according to Sharp_One's example, there is no regulation. Ergo, you are at greater risk to bacteria in China. That seems absolute to me. You brought up McDonalds and tried to make this an American versus China thing, and you haven't convinced me. Honestly I'm not even sure how accurate Sharp_One's example is. I'd have to believe China has some sort of regulations for restaurants and food markets, particularly in the larger cities. I thought this was a politics thread, besides the derail began with the post below. Clearly the subtext of this whole thing is to criticize China for their lack of regulations. This was always an America vs China thing, I would say something rude that points to your inability to keep up with the thread but I suspect your post is borne more out of sophistry rather than a lack of understanding. Don't know which is worse, though. When were you last time in China? Answer me this: In which country you can buy bread, some ingredients and start selling sandwiches on a sidewalk starting your own small business. And no one will bother you. A) USA B) China

Are you really comparing something like salmonella or e-coli, which can put you in the hospital immediately, to fast food? Look, I hate fast food. I haven't stepped foot in a McDonalds in about 20 years. But it is regulated and I'm glad it is. Are you arguing for stiffer regulations that make the food healthier? Are you arguing for less regulations so they can lower costs and cut corners? What is your point here? You can buy stuff and go sell sandwiches on the side of the road in the US by the way. You can do it until you get reported, at which point you will get fined and shut down. Or you can go get a permit, which is not exactly a king's ransom, demonstrate some sense of food safety, and sell food on the side of the road, depending on the property rights. Woe are we, with so many rules. The morality is what we are arguing here not the food. If you think that causing deliberate harm at lesser degrees is justifiable then please do continue to defend McDonalds and condemn China. I tend to think of morals as absolutes so that's why I don't like to split hairs about who does the greater wrong.

That would mean that their economic situation would become dire, the people who depend on the country's manufacturing industries would lose their jobs. On top of that, jobs on factories have become more regulated thanks to the West focus on human rights. Meaning they are payed better and work safer. You hit them hard enough and they might just begin WW3 just out of sheer necessity. Why would you hurt your clientele? What would be the point? Make lots of money in the mean time? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal I find it a bit ironic that people are talking about how awful the Chinese are for selling poisoned food when everywhere else in the world you have McDonalds. Funny, but serving unhealthy food and serving bacteria-ridden food are a bit different. Actually I hear the McDonalds in other countries are often better and have somewhat more culturally appropriate menus. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-30115555 The Chinese don't care that their stuff is poisonous the Americans only care that their stuff is not too poisonous. It's different alright...so pick your poison, literally.

I remember hating that game.

played some nina simone for a friend o' ours recent. she weren't impressed. "that guy can't sing." ... have mentioned previous in this thread how much we appreciate the talents o' nina simone http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/80512-music-must-go-on/?p=1810614 doesn't happen often, but the aforementioned criticism o' one o' favorite female vocalists rendered us speechless... and mortified. HA! Good Fun! Shady, I think that you have justifiable grounds for murder and I won't think less of you if you decide to kill this "friend" of yours. Unless of course they have repented and embraced the high priestess of Soul.

But but but... I don't get it... V is the roman numeral for five...I hate the world and everyone in it, say something good so that my faith in humanity is restored.

They didn't kill his dog though.

His signature is Lord of Lords, the only Lord we had around here was LoF. Who was notorious for elaborate troll posts, but seeing this low level bait makes me wish that its not him. How the mighty have fallen.

I just tell her that she looks fat, and then I point out that there are no songs written about skinny girls but a bunch of great hits about big women. Then after singing a little of fat bottomed girls she is putty in my hands...or would be if I wasn't single.

The stupidity of that article is astounding.

So EU fearing a nationalist US will try to ally with Russia because they share some commonalities like geographic location? It is as likely as a Russia and the US coming together over the fight against ISIS and Russia mediating China-US relations, which would birth the most powerful political bloc on the planet. One world government here we go.

Space Hulk: Deathwing It's **** and i'm asking for a refund.

It's missing a "him" for that pun to be clear.

Is that a spanish proverb and is it true? Not a proverb, but yeah, it's true. In Spanish you'd say "se me ha caído" rather than "lo he dejado caer". Responsibility for falling is on the object in question, the damned thing, never on me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity I remember reading a study about how language creates culture, the based it on aboriginal tribes who had specific wording for cardinal directions and as a result they had better sense of direction. I can't help but feel that is true seeing as how we tend to be more forgiving and subtle than English speaking cultures that have more direct wordings.

The thing is that Batista had a very successful first term where the GDP of the isle was on par with first world nation and we still have reminders of that decadent age, like a capitol building that makes the White House pale in comparison. His second term was were all the troubles began and when the US failed to intervene; more of their on/off intervention policy, revolt began on the isle and the underground resistance movement culminated with the war for independence. Considering that Batista's policies created a great divide between classes and at the time that Castro took power there was rampant illiteracy on the isle, I can't really say that support for the revolution was surprising.

Maybe a project fell through.

I too wouldn't wan't my game associated with the fiasco that was the third one.

Because the Milky Way frowns on incestual relations? BTW, lets get to BW selling point; Who's ****able?

Bull, he didn't have to do a lot of what he did, he did some things that ended hurting the economy but lining his pocket and he backtracked on a lot of those things. That's where we are now, trying to fix the damage that has been done by policies that were only sustained by the Soviet Union.
