  1. There hasn't been a good TW game since the original Medieval. After that it was all arcady BS.

     

    I'm inclined to agree, they never really transitioned particularly well into the 'open map' games, or rather they made good games - but lost what actually made their AI work.

     

     

     

    Is the ai in the warhammer games still as bad? I really loved rome 2. Played it for hundreds of hours. But when it comes to worldmap ai, it was completely underwhelming... at some point you just always do exactly the same. Boring.

     

    Yep stil dysfunctional - have you tried Divide et Impera for Rome 2? They did a rather big update recently - there's now a working population mechanic and the AI is a lot better. Still TW retarded at times though.

  2. No new TW titles from Creative Assembly. They are doing the Warhammer crap for the next few years.

     

    Yeah, but can we blame them? Their last few historical titles were very underwhelming and were unable to recapture the scope and quality of their older titles - but they've gotten universal praise for their Warhammer game, bringing in new customers in droves, who are actually loving their current approach, as opposed to their older fans :) Well save fort the DLC policy, but still.

     

    It makes we wonder what their move post Warhammer will be though. Return to historical games or a soft compromise, beginning to incorporate fantasy elements.

    To keep the Warhammer crowd.

  3. That has been painfully obvious since before Breivik.

    And honestly I don't understand either side's obsession with immigration.

     

    I would gladly support local camps and peacekeeping forces in the region, focusing on keeping the young and the bright in the region so we don't see a braindrain and a further rise of religious extremeism. Akin to the Marshall help post-ww2.

     

    Rather than the European moronic extremes of open arms and no demands or active warfare and discrimination.

    But no one seems capable of discusing this issue rationally, at least not here in Scandinavia.

     

     

    And I have great pity and respect for London in all of this - so much instability and they are braving on.

  4. Education is the only thing that's going to save our species - so I'd rather have the process of learning, and expanding of horizons, to be as 'fun' and as it is 'painful'.. And have as many with a higher degree as possible.

     

    No one learns or reacts to learning in the same way, some need more pain and challenge to let go of harmful misconceptions and illusion, while some need more encouragement and incentive to break away from lethargic habits and stagnation.

  5. Still slogging through XCOM 2, can't put my finger on it but the game just feels worse than the previous one. 

     

    Yeah I had the exact same feeling, I progressed about half way through it and never really picked it up again - it just felt like all the elements of the game kinda came together 'wrong'. In many ways the strategic depth of the first game got lost in all the actions and tempo.

     

    There were so many timed events, that I never really felt like I had a chance to utilize level designs. Of course that made sense given the pressure on the organization, but it really killed the fun for me.

    snip - Ethnocentrist video - snip

     

    You know, not understand the basics of what a majority and minority is, really discredits any points made on that basis.

     

    Who is failing to understand what a majority and minority is? How?

     

    The girl in the video.

     

    Now it's a super common misconception - but when she's making a video about it and presenting it, the producers really should do the research (of course I assume they have and are just manipulating their argument)

     

    When talking about minorities and majorities we talk in relative, numerical and contextual terms - you cannot claim that for instance black people in America are not a minority, as there are more Africans in Africa than white Americans in America. Those two numbers have no bearing on the factual and contextual reality of the country being discussed, in which African American are a relative minority in America, at only ~13% of the population composition.

     

    And so her claim that, in actuality WE are the minority as there are less Europeans in the world, is not only an irrelevant observation (in relation to the subject being discussed) but also a disingenuous one. When she's talking in relation to minority and majority rights - these can only meaningfully be explored in contextual terms.

     

    Also using minority/majority power dynamics is a muddled argument at best - one only has to look at South Africa for an example that an ethnical minority can easily preside over the actual political and economical power in the country.

     

    It is however an interesting topic - it's just better if the terms are not misused.. and not used to justify an ethnocentric national position that only works when you look at the relative world numbers.

     

    Now if the purpose is to say that Muslims have disproportionate representation, which is certainly something that is interesting to explore - it would be less manipulative to simply ask if any religion was over- or underrepresented in national parliaments and/or if religious argumentation was beginning to have larger 'weight'. As that would lead us to actually discern whether or not there was any basis for that concern.

  7. Old news here.

     

    Extra extra - read all about it! What's new on the scene of gaming?

     

    Last couple of posts

     

     

    Just look at how far we've come though...

    (1995) The very first E3:



    (2016) Last year's E3:

     

     

    I watched few E3 streams in previous years, but anything except SONY, was so bland and boring. You do not need to watch Ubisoft show at all, for example. Just write on a paper few times ICONIC and EPIC, put it on wall and look at it for one hour. It's as much entertaining as all their E3 shows, which I've seen.

     

    Sony on other hand, has always made very interesting show to watch, even when it presented games, which I do not care at all. And this year, they promised, they would bring more Japanese games to Playstation brand again, so I am curious which kind of games it will be, and if they will cooperate even with smaller japanese companies to bring more localized games to the market.

     

     

     

    This looks very promising, can't wait!

     

     

    E3 is the reason I own a PS4... sadly, after E3 is finished I go back to playing my pc and my PS4 sits in my closet. Still, E3 makes me proud to own a statistic of PS4 owners and Sony deserves that much from me as they make it entertaining to watch.

    Microsoft has had some equally impressive shows, in fact I'll go as far as to say that it goes back and forth between Somy and Microsoft as far as who had the best show. Nintendo, very much like PC has been an afterthought at E3 since Gamecube died. I doubt the they'll have anything truly amazing this year. No Metroid, so on so forth.

  8. Victim tactics and defensive posturing when pressed for proof, par the course - your feelings are irrelevant - and you are wasting everyone's time with this line of argumentation.

     

    Your links were of insufficient quality, as has been explained by several posters.

     

    And as you seem to wish to derail rather than discuss the issue, I will consider this discussion over.

  9. For asking you to prove your point? It's interesting how fragile your platform must be, when people are fascist for simply asking questions :D

     

    Whereas being it for actively attacking the oppositions morals just for disagreeing.

     

    You have both now insinuated that I am basically morally corrupt - see the problem?

     

    For the record I complelty respect your opinion and right to have it and never have or will claim anything about your character. I don't however respect your arguments, as I find them weak and baseless.

  10. The radical jews (who still exist today but are now positions of power in Israel instead of insurgance groups), are insular and follow a non-expansive doctrine. To compare them to Sunni/Wahabbi/Salafist-Islam then is disingenuous at best, as they do not share the same ethos at all.

     

    I want the troops out of the middle east (Saudi included), build a wall around it, and deploy minefields in the mediterranean. I want action, not sending the next generation of children to the slaughter for a virtue signalling concert to prove to your coward selves that you are not hating. Utterly disgusting and despicable.

     

    The comparison was the targeting of the Muslim population in Europe, as a scapegoat for the actions of other, but read it as you will.

     

    I want troops of the Middle East as well, although instead of a wall (because history really proves how effective that is) we would gain a lot more with respectful trade, where we have a possibility to influence their politics by enriching their middle class - rather than only empowering their elite.

     

    And that last part really shows your colors buddy, well done.. That's basically the marching tune of all fascist regimes "my actions are the only morally correct, anyone who disagrees is morally corrupt, disgusting and despicable" .. well done.

  11. So your claim is unprovable, but we should take you on faith? As it is so.. obviously true?

     

    I'm certainly convinced, great show.. thanks..

     

    Also Sharp_one, you're ****ing hilarious - breibart, the daily mail and wikipedia? Man, you almost had me going.. Poe's Law to it's finest.

  12. Your tactic is as boring as it is obvious - and it's only really hurting your own argument.

     

    You want to prove that all Muslims are antidemocratic and actively trying to enforce Sharia on me? I want to see this proof, because this is something that will affect me a great deal.. So I'm very open to actual data on this subject.

     

    Please enlighten me - with actual research.
