@MasterOfMordor @baltim123 @Kevin-V I totally understand you and you indeed have some valid points. On the "black characters" topic i'd just like to say that Franklin is a strong character , yes they get portrayed as "OG from da hood niggas" but atleast thats not all they are in this game. The thing that bothers me (only a small bit) is that the women don't really add a lot to the story and only act silly which for me kinda drags down the story because that isn't as serious as the rest of it. In GTA IV for example you had both roman and Niko's girlfriends who - while they also were really stereotypical and "weak women" - still had an impact on the story.
@Kevin-V I think you guys are doing a great job and everybody adds his/her own flavor to the review. Yes this sounds weird because reviews are meant to be objective, but this is kinda impossible. Also Caro's review is totally justified. I for one also think the game lacks some sort of strong female character, it does however still deserve a 10 IMO. And the "misoginy" is IMO not a subjective thing that only caro would point out , it is indeed a part of the greater product and IMO matters to the story of GTAV, therefore it also impacts the overall experience and thus affects the value of the game.
@enartloc @NTenseify @jimmytaker I for one have played both diablo 1 and 2 and loved the old blizzard games. But , i also like Diablo 3 . Yes it wasn't as good as LOD and failed in many perspectives , from loot to RMAH. But the game was cursed to fail before it was even announced , the hypetrain was so big that it was bound to fail and let people down. The game in itself however is still very good, the combat system is good and also the runes and skills system is actually extremely good IMO. But yeah , it isn't diablo anymore , still playing LOD sometimes. The reason LOD is so good is cause of the loot that is so interesting with all the wacky suffixes like adding skills etc. And with this expansion it seems like blizzard is going in the right direction.

@cameronrobinson @Saketume +1 on the not learning anything new part but well , I had already seen that documentary. Still , good job on the episode and refreshin gmy mind. I do wonder why these episodes seem to be a lot shorter than those in the last season and there also seem to be a lot less professors. I kinda liked those long episodes :D
@youngzen69 I bought myself a GTX 660 this year and though i regret it a bit now that the 700-series is out and the 760 isn't that expensive i'm pretty sure that the GTX 660 will still hold out for very long , playing the witcher 2 on high went smooth and far cray 3 on ultra also gave very good performance . Based on this the card will go on for a long time , seeing that both far cry 3 and the witcher 2 are both AAA-titles and especially the witcher is very hard for most GPU'S it wil probably take some time untill most of the AAA-titles ( like CoD , AC , Tomb Raider , Bioshock, ...) will be this taxing on your GPU , and even then running them on medium will be no problem at all and look pretty , so no worries man :)
@Jamievrcade @ArmorGod Seems neat , though i wonder how you could make that giant troll fight work that you gave as an example. Yes , deflecting arrows etc. with those props is no problem etc. The problem though is in the fact that if the orc attacks you the immersion breaks because , yes you can feel things like hands , but you can't really simulate a giant axe or something swinging at you. So i imagine that one hit by the axe would just be game over ;)
Also I suggest placing real physical boxes in the arena, a very soft material like sponge or something would be ideal , this way you can physically feel the box you are pushing away . Because i kinda have the feeling that pushing away a box in VR and seeing it move while physically feeling nothing is pretty weird.
