Hey look, we are all aware that gamers are sick to the back teeth of PC bull****. That does not preclude a reasoned debate on the matter. I agree and I want to raise another point. Lets say for argument sake people that are pushing feminist ideas or equality have permeated the gaming scene with there ideals of fairness. What negative impact has this had to your personal gaming experience? For starters it ruined many fantasy settings with the stupid insistence on gender equality where it made completely no sense.

Honestly I wouldn't pay much attention to the misogyny comments made by gamespot. The reviewer is not free from bias herself. GTA5 has bigger problems than it's treatment of women.
-
Little wonder. It's amazing how much money they spent just to produce 10% of "Die by the sword".
-
You really don't need anything fancy. But good news is that there are already videos online showing that rebels are responsible. Apparently they were miraculously discovered just as the report was being announced.

Papers please. I never thought doing paper work in dystopian past could hold so much appeal. It's also a great example of how not every game needs to ego boost the player to the level of 'chosen-one saving the world'.

Anyone willing to bet that this will change something?

Time has a wonderful way of making differences irrelevant. There are tons of examples in history where two sides eventually unite for the greater good. It's already happened in the US. We have a bunch of non-denominational mosques in my area alone. that's what happens when you live in a country where its illegal to kill people because they are a different faith rather than it being encouraged. Because that worked so well in northern Ireland. In fact thorough most of western history persecuting religious minorities was a favorite community past-time.

Saints row 4. By far the weakest game in the series. The storyline goes so far of the deep end that developers decided to end it. If irrelevant plot wasn't enough the gameplay gets broken with superpowers early on. With super-travel there is no need for any vehicles and being forced into one feels like a chore. Combat is even worse as there are so many laser flashes and explosions that you are rarely on your feet and not blind. I wouldn't even finish the thing if it wasn't for constant references to previous games pulling me with nostalgia.

Where did you get that idea? Just because anarchist militias didn't fall neatly into military structure of Republicans you can not count out thousands that did fight and die.
-
Do you really think that it's possible to get the 'go ahead' from Russia or China? There is no evidence in the world that could convince these countries. And what evidence does the US have hat Assad used Chemical weapons? Please do tell me. It has common sense and frankly that should be more than enough. And the points stands - any evidence gathering is not only pointless but also a complete waste of time. There are no objective information that can be realistically obtained that would ever break through Russia's and China's shield of interests or your vault of conspiracy theories.

Um no - that's just gambling. Combat has much more dimensions with positioning/aimed attacks/inventory use etc.
-
So is there any benefit to attacking manually? Right now combat sounds like the worst of both worlds.
-
You really can't expect them to suddenly start aiming for a different audience at the end of a series. For better or worse Bioware is now tied to the player-base that enjoys and expect those things.
-
The problem isn't even the camera but the way controls work. Using a pointer to set way-points maybe a basic in strategy but doesn't fit action games at all.
-
Same could be said for the protesters than he had gunned down or the neighborhoods he had shelled. It's safe to the say that Assad wants to be feared and civilian casualties actually help his cause.
-
There are dead people on both sides and many of them died by US army donated weapons. Many more will die when the cruise missiles start flying. Empty moralizing is empty, because none of this is, or has ever been, about the well being of the people. And here is were you are wrong. Stopping chemical weapons use is about the well-being of the Syrian people. Or at least it was when that option was still on the table. By now it's blindingly clear that no effective intervention will come from the west and endless bickering in UN over reports and security council meetings only prolong the inevitable. As sad it is - given that the best way to handle the conflict is to let Assad gas-away unchecked. But we are far too hypocritical for that.
-
If people didn't care nobody would bother to orchestrate such a charade. It was just clear enough that full-scale invasion started way too soon.
-
It's way too late for that. By now people will insist for a full investigation of every alleged attack. Those things will take months grounding things down to a stand-still and Assad has the ability to create even more 'incidents'. It's quite amazing how we embrace UN bureaucracy when we don't want anything to happen.
-
I'm quite surprised so many people are trying hard not to blame Assad for chemical weapons use. It can almost seem you would rather see the killing continue because you don't fancy either side.

If chemical weapons were easy to make we would see plenty of terrorists use them. Nerve gas is especially tricky to produce and even that cult couldn't get good quality despite access to stupid amounts of money and some of the brightest students in Japan. Fair. It's not easy easy, like ammonia based explosives. But it's hardly a stretch to suggest that a Qaeda franchise _in the middle east_ could do it if it had a good enough reason to want it. The reason more terrorists don't use chemical weapons is - according to Al Qaeda's literature - is that they take so much effort to make compared with an equivalent effort towards explosives. Last time I checked, Qaeda still wanted them, but wasn't encouraging anyone to pick them first. Chemical weapons experts who evaluated the Tokyo attacks and the chemicals have asserted that the sarin produced by the cult was capable of killing tens of thousands of people. It was the delivery system that was the real problem. As it was, their extremely simple dispersion system affected over 5000 people. Oh but they have used a very simple system months earlier and killed 9 people. In fact they even produced something akin to VX gas and used is for assassination. The reason the casualties from those incidents are not counted in the hundreds or thousands were exactly because the quality of gas was terrible.

For starters he damaged US diplomatic credibility for decades to come. That's way more that can be said for any journalist. And damaging the leading country of Western ideology in anyway is a good thing because.... Because they don't agree with direction said ideology is taking and feel that common people think likewise? Naive perhaps but understandable.
