There's nothing wrong with it, because it's just a game? Even games make impacts on people's thoughts, just like movies, books, and TV. The No Russian scene contributes toward making ethnic violence and terrorist attacks normal and familiar in peoples' minds. This is an effect similar how words like murder, rape and fuck have become familiar and have lost their connotations as they are used more and more frequently and more and more outside of their original context. More importantly, the portrayal of the attack in the game is not exactly horrifying or evil to those who don't recognize exactly what they're seeing--probably a majority of CoD5 players. The attack is described as a bad thing, but that's about as far as it goes. There's nothing, for example, about the many personal tragedies such an attack would cause. The player's character, one of the perpetrators of the attack, is also presented as a good guy fighting evil. He's later unduly blamed for the whole thing and turns against the ones he did it with, but the fact remains that he participated voluntarily! The player doesn't even have an option to say "no" before it starts. In one of my earlier posts, I referenced some comments I've seen online about this scene. Those comments were essentially saying that the attack portrayed is no big deal, because you don't get many rewards for it and Russians are assholes anyway. This kind of sentiment is what this kind of game produces. No one will probably attack an airport because of this game, since most serious terrorists won't play it, but that doesn't mean it isn't touching and influencing people who don't know any better. Though I suppose you'd say that doesn't matter, since it's just a game. In the end, it is just a game. I'm sure as hell that is where many people would like to see these kind of actions stay. I was thinking "What's the point?" while watching that scene, but I didn't feel so strongly that I have to agree with and support the people who are kicking up a fuss about this scene, because in the end, it is just a game - like all the other previous GTA games which allow the death and murder of civilians, and the other X amount of games which allow you to kill civilians, regardless of the race of the killed. If people really are left in distress about this scene, then I believe they need to relax and not take games so seriously. Games are serious business? Maybe, but the content of the games doesn't have to be taken seriously. People play games for entertainment purposes, some may not be entertained by shooting an airport full of civilians but are happy with killing the armed enemies of the game, which is understandable to an extent. In which case they may skip the scene and happily continue with their gaming campaign. If I owned this game, I know I would participate in this mission, simply because I know I wouldn't be affected by what happens. Others may be for whatever reason, so they can skip ahead. I think you're kind of missing his point though.

Expanded universe.

I find your lack of HK-47 disturbing. He should be at the top, by the way.

FE10, but longer, with more characters/classes, fully functioning supports (but still keeping the system for supporting anyone), more balance, some new/modified skills, fixed caps so all the classes can succeed, and characters don't get screwed for having a class which rapes their growths, and maybe something cool like the Class Change system. FE10 was really good, to me, and I think it's definitely a good base.

Would you say that to Tom Petty?

I guess TheEnd is a faggot, then. You have no idea. I mean what, I didn't say that, not me. But more seriously, Ignore is useless, since you still see the other person posted, you just choose whether or not to read it. Pretty much the only reason it exists is so that people can go "NYAHNYAHNYAH I HAVE YOU ON IGNORE"

What if we don't use Eddie in 1-P? Serious question is serious. Then we'd be scot free, right, unless you have some other thing to tell us. But everyone except whoever took Nephenee, and me are screwed in 2-1 Micaiah solo in 1-P is possible, but it will probably take more turns than just biting the bullet and using Edward. IIRC the boss easily 2RKOing Draco!Micaiah while she like 4RKOs him. Thats 4 turns wasted self healing by itself right there. If you still want to try no one's stopping you, but I wouldn't recommend it. Kirsche ,who we still are waiting for, has Nephenee. If anyone thinks you're gonna be gone for more than a day please PM your picks so we can keep this moving as fast as possible. I know you guys have other stuff to do, but I don't... Pretty sure she 3HKOs the boss. The trouble comes in some of the others that she 4HKOs, but that's HM. It's entirely possible they are all 3HKOs on NM. And yeah, she needs the draco and some kind of proc (hp or def) on all but EM, I guess, just to avoid the OHKO from the boss. Still, it is basically: Get hit, return fire. Vulnerary. Get hit, return fire. KO boss. Doesn't take too long. The trouble, again, is all the other enemies. I figure it is like a 20+ turn clear as a Micaiah solo. Actually, I was more thinking if I got stuck with Leo...

Indeed I am. SO MANY KNOWLEDGE!

There's a difference. You're not Nishi. ...And this is why you're on my ignore list. I'm not even gonna bother opening your posts anymore. Dude... Dude... Please... Are you really taking me seriously? Really?

Though I suppose you'd say that doesn't matter, since it's just a game. I kind of half agree with you here. I totally understand what you're saying, I think, which is not that this will cause terrorist attacks, but this desensitizes people even further. I must admit that a lot of media is absorbed by people who don't actually understand it, and interpreted in a way that causes insensitivity. For example, the number of people I know who have watched Borat or South Park and then began to exhibit anti-Semitic tendencies is alarming. Borat and South Park do not encourage or condone anti-Semitism, in fact, quite the opposite, but a large portion of the population is often unable to understand that. By the same token, a lot of people who play this game really won't understand what's actually going on, and, like you said, understand the severity of it, and I can see how that could affect people. On the other hand, I am a very strong advocate of freedom of expression, and no-one is directly harmed through this. I think it's rather tricky, but I believe it should remain legal and sellable.

Your scary Hika. He's also verah verah cool.

It'll be hard, that's all. Also, as the rules go, recruiting Haar if he isn't your pick is fine, as long as he doesn't involve himself in combat, heal, build supports or steal or find hidden items.

This. Besides, most Southerners are actually just like the rest of the nation; it's just some areas (ALABAMA AND GEORGEA) have lots of Rednecks. You should really distinguish between the two. It's like saying everyone from New England drives like a New Yorker. Sedgay the Homo Better than being you. Which in turn is better than being you. But hey, everyone's better than you, so that's not saying much. is neither Doom nor Soul nor You so is also not better than Doom or Soul or I. Hell, he isn't even better than CRASH, he's so pathetic. Well, Crash is megas kawaii desu ne, so fuck, he's actually pretty good bro. Also, MY INTELLECT IS SUPERIOR! To a lemming. You're still below the next level up (Dogs) though. You moron. You were supposed to say "Now who's intellect is superior Khan?" But you didn't, so I still win. If you were making a Star Trek reference, that's a horribly obscure one to make. If not, it's even worse. There's no such thing as horribly obscure when we're talking about Star Trek references.
