Ok, in-context it isn't as funny (but still sort of, due to how over the top it is). Out of context, it makes me laugh every time I see it.

Given all evidence about the Russian influence and the investigations looking into it currently, is there anyway we could do a re-election by 2018? I know there is no avoiding President Trump in 2017 and 2018, but hopefully we can get a re-election process started.

Games that don't rely on tiered gear like in Call of Duty or Battlefield, that don't mix beginners with higher level players (so the beginners just get shredded while learning)

Except that starting gear in Battlefield is probably the best gear in the game? The only thing they should change is the starting class kit items. But the guns will stand toe-to-toe with later unlocks.

[benjipwns]

I thought another thing funny in terms of his praise of Titanfall. I've always felt that in Call of Duty (until maybe recently) that the tiered unlocks ON the weapons are more important than unlocking most of the weapons. Same with unlocking of perks/nades/etc. All of which Titanfall maintains completely.

Getting scopes, grips, extended mags, etc. on a gun (along with perks like fast hands or scavenger) you're familiar with often does more for you than unlocking another weapon in the same class that you have to start over on and may offer its own differences like burst fire or whatever.

A lot of the Call of Duty's give you the easiest weapons and then specialize as you work through the tier. Much like Battlefield has at times. And like Titanfall does.

My own personal theory is that generally you've found your permanent Call of Duty weapon in its class (SMG/AR/etc.) by the second unlock or first depending on how many you start out with.

I think it was Ghosts where the best SMG is like the one you unlock at level 3, once you've added all the various attachments to it.

[benjipwns]

One of the middle CoD's (mw3 or maybe blops 1 or maybe ghosts), my favorite assault rifle is the default one except that the default iron sights are godawfully designed making it impossible to actually judge things properly. But after like twenty minutes of doing anything in the game you're level 15 and you've unlocked the red dot or reflex sight and you're good to go from then on.

One of the operators in Rainbow Six: Siege has the same kind of problem with his/her default weapon. And every beta/alpha I always forgot to spend my points on buying the sights until I spawned again with him/her.

[thisismyusername]

I haven't played the later entries after MW2 due to the numerous things that turned me off on that one. But CoD4 had folks running the AK-47 most of the time, and that was a late-game unlock. The thing is, if you killed a person you could pick it up. So, I mean like Battlefield and other unlock titles, you're not stopped from being able to pick up those guns and test them yourself if you kill the person. And you should be able to do that as even with no accessories on the guns, they'll be rock solid for starting players.

Titanfall has a huge skill discrepancy issue that unlocks won't solve. If you're matchmade with someone that is going into the out-of-bounds on top of the map to flank you and shoot you from above, there's not much you can do beyond trying to copy that (and probably failing). So his "this game is good for non-multiplayer people" is just to me.

[benjipwns]

Maybe he doesn't realize the Spectres and stuff are AI.

I find this viewpoint interesting, because if the RNC's emails were leaked, it would have probably been them strategizing to get rid of Trump and then panicking when they failed. It would have only helped Trump to see the RNC working against him.

Thanks for linking that here because I saw it earlier and just got mad. What's happening is currently nothing but shitposting. First response had a maximum of two minutes to read and understand the linked article. Didn't stop him from shitting on the subjects in question with absolute moral superiority.

It was amusing a few weeks back when you had a guy who analyzes video game framerates for a living proclaiming they have no empathy for the prospects of others' livelihood with no self reflection.

Computers and machines cannot ruin their livelihood fast enough. I have no pity for them any longer. I used to actually care. Not anymore.

Shocku. Nintendo releases yet another underpowered piece o' crap.

I can't believe these goobers actually thought the system was going to be anywhere beyond twice as powerful as the Wii-U (and that's if we're lucky). The damn thing had to double as a handheld. There's no fucking way it was going to be a significant jump based on that factor alone.

Surprise, surprise. Nintendo still disappoints even with lowered expectations.


I never understood why Nintendo fans on GAF gets really involves arguing about technical specs of new Nintendo hardware for months when history shows a consistent pattern of disappointment. When will they learn that being optimistic about Nintendo hardware just leads to bitter disappointment?

Let me guess. After months of crazy speculation, thousands of posts in the hype OT(s), "insiders" dropping them bombs, everyone getting super excited about a XB1~PS4 portable console from Nintendo, the consensus is now that who cares about dem grafix anyway?

There's been a sea of rumors regarding the NX, but the funniest one now in hindsight is that Sony and Microsoft were making the PS4 Pro and Scorpio mainly because they learned of the NX's specs and they were worried it would make the PS4 and XB1 look too weak, it was that powerful.

It's amazing because nintendo doesn't actually want to go the full power route. They'd rather have something that it's cheaper and where every unit sold is profitable.

Why did this happen?

Well, N64 and gamecube were more powerful and they lost both generations, so they went with something else.

Reason, imo, why they lost the generation is because they always fuck up on the format (N64 catridges picture cutscenes vs the cool FMVs you had on PSX, or gamecube actually using a smaller disc that couldn't hold as much data... wtf nintendo). But since that generation they went more with the nintendo DNA, as if they were the Apple of videogame industry.

Does anyone feel less interested in gaming when Nintendo goes under-powered?

As someone who has grown up with Nintendo games, I feel I need to find spend more time with a different hobby when I hear of Nintendo going for much less than hardcore consoles and games. I just want the days of SNES and N64 when Nintendo gave us among cutting edge games.

I will still play games but it's just so disappointing not having the best devs working for the hardcore gamers. Such a waste of talent.

But since that generation they went more with the nintendo DNA, as if they were the Apple of videogame industry.

Also Nintendo was always seen as the "lamer" alternative by the majority of people who bought consoles both generations. Genesis tapped into that before PSX took it and ran further away with it. Plus 3rd parties really didn't want to work with Nintendo for a myriad of reasons.

I'd say a lot of it was cartridge based when it comes to the 64's failures, that much is true. But with the Gamecube I don't think it really mattered at that point. The PS2 was a juggernaut and the XBox essentially destroyed the GCN in the west(Xbox may not be ahead of the GCN by that much worldwide, but when you take in Xbox's abysmal japanese sales you realize the divide is bigger in the west). The Wii was the right call even though it most definitely was a fad looking back. If there was a time for Nintendo to compete tech wise since, then I don't really see it. Maybe(and that's a big maybe) they should have done the jump with the Wii U(under a different name, of course) and got 3rd party's on board with better hardware than the 360/PS3 before Sony and MS rolled out their respective new gen consoles. But even then I don't see it as much as Nintendo taking over as much as it is a nice, healthy install base comparatively in the long run.

I'm less baffled by Nintendo's decisions to go underpowered than I am with fanthings never believing they would go underpowered until the very last moment. I mean, I'd love a Zelda on this gen's hardware as much as the next guy but I've long since quit thinking it would happen.

What I really believe Nintendo is doing right is securing exclusives. Monster Hunter neglect from sony/not helping with the localization made MH tri go to the Wii. I'm still wishing for a real HD monster hunter that doesn't require me to understand chinese.

This fucking hyperbole is disgusting as fuck.
When we saw the first video of the Switch everybody was happy and at least everybody thought we would get a portable Wii U and that would be a pretty big leap over the 3DS.
The fans were happy with what they saw im the reveal trailer but suddenly everything is shit because of some specs, outside of NeoGAF nobody cares for. Thats the problem with some of you. You guys think the peoplr in the real world would care for such stuff...but they only care for games. If they lool good, then they will accept the device. And Nintendo is in the position to sell a weak home console as a fucking strong handheld. Well one side would always be dissapointed but that some of you are not capable of thinking like an adult is very strange to say the least.
Nintendo has showed the concept and that actually sold many people on the console...
And if they create some hype at january 13th this thing will sell well and Mario have never been running around on a Playstation, where the audience for such kind of games isnt there anyway.
