@vladric Such a sad pathetic fanboy :(

I really enjoyed ds2, but I understand some of his points.

"Trepidation that I would get placed up against some overpowered obstacle was eventually replaced with the confidence that I could overcome any situation through patience, caution, and sheer force of will." That does kind of describe how I felt eventually, the gameplay cleverly disguises the grinding aspect to where I didn't even realize I was doing it for a long time. That being said, was lots of fun, and I think a 5 is pretty low.

I thought shooters WERE the casual games?

I'd be a little more onboard with digital content if it meant prices went down, but that's not happening on consoles like steam. So-called "sales" for digital content reduce the price to regular price from places like Amazon. What's more, game sizes seem to be increasing quickly while the speed of broadband hasn't changed much lately for most places. There will always be a market for consumers who want physical copies, especially with the increasing popularity of 'same-day-delivery', soon you may able to order a game on amazon, get it delivered faster than your average speed broadband can download 50 gigs, for a lower price. It's not the same as CDs turning to MP3s, which was far more practical for a number of reasons.

@skunkpants People like choices, they don't like megacorporations telling them "This is how it's going to be!". 50% of games will be bought digitally by 2019, MS tried to force a trend and it backfired, there are lots of folks that still like physical media.

@Dirty_Window @Sevenizz He's a hardcore xbot, most people just ignore him.

@Lambchopzin @bluefox755 Yes, classical liberal, libertarian, whatever you want to call it, is what the modern right at least claims to be in favor of, which is limited government. Obviously, what they say and what they do tends to differ. Modern republicans are little different from democrats in the sense that they both want to control things, they just have different priorities.

@canuckbiker Care to elaborate? Can you name any example in history where communism in practice is distinguishable from fascism??

@penstrol @bluefox755 Why? Because wikipedia says it? Think about it, explain to me how I'm wrong? Maybe try and refute what I said rather than be a d-bag.

Think about the left-right paradign through the lens of size/scope/control. The far left being a monarchy or oligarchy with ultimate government control and zero individual freedom, the far right being anarchy with zero government.

@rohitv2312 They do, just not the white ones and the male ones, cause, ya know, white guys are bad.
