it was a solid 7/10 game when it launched, bugs and all despite being underbaked and heavily overhyped. its only gotten better since then with all the content patches and bug fixes. its definitely not short though and is on par with most other open world games (20-25hours for main story, 50-60 with side content, 100+ for 100%).

100%. dont forget to check out the randomizer mod too. adds a ton of replay value.

being able to take the larger magazines is nice, but if this is going to be concealed id personally opt for the micro 9's like p365, hellcat, gx4 ect. same capacity in a better feeling package that conceals better.

3 times. once on a suicidal family member (which really sucked). once on a robber who was coming in to a friends places window when i was staying over (had to keep him there at gun point). and again from some crackhead who thought it was a good idea to take some random shots at a couple utility workers trying to do their job (me).

i literally have to find a reason every week not to spend more money on this godamn money sink.

if hes sticking it in my back and wants me to drive then hes going to have to take the gun off me to get into my truck which means the passenger side. at that point id have enough time to draw my own gun.

there really is no real negatives to using a suppressor for hunting, especially. while having a ton of benefits to the shooter. even some countries in Europe REQUIRE that you use one.

The guns aren't stopping them

if you think its getting that bad its as you said, they have the guns. the left are the ones sitting in the corner twiddling their thumbs, screeching to the high heavens in hopes that brings some form of change. thats not the way the world works most of the time. the right are going to protests heavily armed which DOES influence decisions. if more people on the left did so, especially more minority communities it shows they arnt the pussified party to allow their country to slip into that totalitarian mindset maybe youd see something serious happen.

in a perfect world they wouldnt need to exist. unfortunately we dont live in one so im glad they do.

welcome to the club?

less than 1000, more than 0.

i could write paragraphs explaining everything as far as their negatives and positives towards what type of gun to use but ill keep it short-

Glock 20 with a light.

3-6 are all 90% the same. if you like one youll probably like the rest and vice versa.

its more of a broad generalization. rough estimates show about 3x the amount of right leaning people has a gun in their access vs democrats (something like 50% vs 15-18%). doesnt mean they DONT have them, just more unlikely they do.

most of them shouldnt have them right now.

iv used them very consistently for the last ~3 years or so. theyve been good 98% of the time, but when it comes down to unique shoppers its not going to be a hit every single time. you might get someone whos had a bad day, doesnt bag the groceries right, who doesnt know the stores well and it ends up taking 2x the time or on the very rare occation they deliver to the wrong address (happened only once for me in the ~130 delivery's iv gotten). their site also can be a bit hit and miss as for what they show is available vs whats actually in the store which can lead ot some confusion when it comes to replacements and trying to coordinate with your shopper. instacart also likes to package multiple deliveries to one shopper depending on the size of the orders so it can take longer than it should if you only ordered a few items.

regardless instacart was always fast to remedy the problem if one pops up via refunds, free deliveries or credit. during the covid shenanigans iv tried a lot of different services and instacart was the only one, while not perfect, that was the most consistent in my experience.

yeah i remember the dlc specifically for 3 being really really sleazy that they made it paid. javik and leviathan dlc's were pretty damn important to the core story.

more gun laws never does anything but further pacify the general population and further gives those who shouldnt have more power, more power anyway. especially now with easy access to the internet.

want to fix the issue? address why someone wants to pick up a gun and use it. youre always going to have crazies who will do something for no reason, but the VAST majority of gun violence is telegraphed heavily and can be solved in a myriad of ways.

1 is the gold standard on how you do a remake. that said its design is still old school so it might be hit or miss if you can still get into it. what it does however it does exceptionally well and for the most part (like the overly cheesy dialog and real time cutscenes) negates the original.

2 is a very good modern interpretation of the original. not perfect, but probably as good as you can expect by todays standards which both stands on its own well while still paying proper respect to the original. you dont have to play the original, but it stil has its own aspects that 2 doesnt quite get right.

3 is...not great as a remake. as its own thing its still very good, but it takes a lot of liberties and cuts a lot of stuff from the original. if you dont mind the classic controls and style id actually recommend the OG 3 as well as the remake. imo 3 is a better game, but again the older design may or may not be your thing.

im honestly kinda sick at the notion of a metal detector instantly makes the school "feel like a prison". my old private school had them and a LOT of other security measures and it never felt like i was serving time (in that way). you had to go through one entering the school, but that was it. you could still go about the indoor areas as you like which looked like a normal school and everyone could leave like normal. if you wanted to come back in you went through the same 5 second process. it really was a non-issue.

no. statistically me being killed in a mass shooting is about on par with drowning in my bathtub or also just short of getting hit by lightning. people need to lay off the news which makes it sound like youre going to get shot as soon as you come out of your house.

its more scary how some are trying to turn it on the guy who cut short the rampage. that he should be heavily punished by carrying in a place that didnt allow it. because he was carrying a firearm he obviously wanted to kill someone. getting hung up on the "samaritan" bullshit to think gun people are equating him to some religious deity. how the murderer still killed people so they didnt really stop anything so hes not really a hero or if hes a 2nd amendment absolutist hes automatically not a hero. how if someone wanted to intervene they are automatically an unhinged cowboy who are lucky that the planets aligned and they didnt shoot an innocent bystander.

how he should even be an accessory to fucking murder because he "most likely" supported the murderers right to a firearm (using the whole "hes a good guy until he wasnt" bullshit).

a case of .223 is 500rounds or maybe 1-2 range visits for me back before the price increase pre-covid. 2000 rounds isnt that much. hell you used to be able to buy those m855 barrels back in the day which had 12500 rounds in them.

most buy in bulk when they see a good deal specifically because ammo prices are really really volatile depending on political climate.

And a 10mm? They still make those?

theyre more popular than ever (though still fairy niche).

its not even about guns, but they dont want to tackle ANYTHING so they use literally anything to deflect.

most of these were gifts, but i picked up--
Metal Gear Rising
Black Mesa (me)
Doom 2016
Risen 3
Oblivion GOTY
Sniper Elite 4 (me)
Wolfenstein TNO+OB

since i started gardening on my own iv been adding veggies to literally everything. which means i can cut back on other elements like meats. growing your own stuff and have an abundance of certain things also makes you not want to waste it almost forcing you eat more healthy.

which is why more laws is the answer...which wont be enforced.

This is the dumbest fucking attempt at a rebuttal. Cops shot him because he shot at them first? Cool, then if he had not been allowed to have a gun at all the cops would not have shot him fucking 60 times. Sorry you're not able to trace simple logic

what the fuck are you talking about? my point was that it probably wouldnt have even mattered. he didnt have a gun on him when he was shot. people have been killed for even less to the point of showing ANY kind of aggression can potentially get you killed. going for a taser? dead. holding a knife? take one step and dead. make a fast hand movement to your side? dead. struggling to be held down? potentially dead. specifically because the training is too loose in general and cops are taught that EVERYONE is a threat and that they know the system will go out of its way to protect them in 99% of those instances. thats not how it used to be to a large degree. not till the late 80's when the training started to shift towards protecting the system rather than the people.

fire_bolt posted...

And no where in this entire conversation did it come up that *maybe* people shouldn't have such easy access to firearms which would de-escalate the need for police to have guns

because that doesnt have jack shit to do with it. it has everything to do with the training involved. prior to the 80's you didnt have cops feel like they needed to mag dump everyone at the slightest bit of resistance and that was before the 1986 machine gun ban where you could actually get a full auto uzi or m16.

is there going to be more headaches over consoles? yes. is it going to be "more trouble than its worth"? imo, no. even with the occational headaches everything else surrounding and included in the platform makes up for it. of course your mileage may vary depending on circumstances.

nice. not the hugest fan of glocks, but they will work for what ever you need them to.

Yeah, the military would massacre them as soon as one politician actually got hurt.

thats not reality. could they? yes. would they? no. there would be too many eyes on them in this day and age to be able to get away with that. everyone in the country, the world and within our own military would be watching. even if you dont agree with others, watching an A10 straff thousands of US citizens on their own soil isnt going to get any real support from anyone which you WILL need to stay into power.

the poeple who make the laws are still flesh and blood. those who drive the tanks, fly the jets and control the drones. people who still have familys and still need a place to sleep. everyone within the system would have a target on their back for a population that has more guns than people. it would be chaos.

I don't know. Millions of women just lost their right to bodily autonomy, I don't see no armed uprising. The Supreme Court so said they're coming for LGBT rights next. I don't see no well regulated militias in the streets.

why dont the left do something about it then? people seem to think the 2nd amendment is only for the right leaning. it isnt. maybe something could change if you actually had 10,000 heavily armed democrats/leftists march on the capital.

stay away from it.

G19 for an all-rounder (like if you can only have one handgun). Sig P365 for specifically concealed carry.

you literally still have to go through all of the training and requirements to carry concealed which is STILL one of the most strict in the country. all this did was get rid of a reason to do so which has been abused by the state for far too long. a VAST majority of the country (including blue states) already are a shall issue at the very least with half of the country being constitutional carry. only 8 or 9 states were actual may-issue.

this wont change the state into some mad max apocalypse especially when licensed concealed carry holders statistically are some of the most law abiding in the country, more so than off duty police officers.

pretty shitty, though not for the reasons you stated.

eitherway i plan to retire to alaska in the next 5 years and live the hermit life.

still my favorite in the series

There's definitely an undeniable culture and cool factor around buying an AR that people don't want to admit

its not just about putting holes into some paper. if you wanted to do that a pellet rifle would suffice for most. its about the raw feedback you get with more powerful rounds and the actions of the firearms themselves. if you treat it as a training tool then obviously youd want to use what you might be using in a conflict situation. if you want to carry a .357 it doesnt make much sense to only practice with .38. the AR specifically is one of the best setups you can get to cover as many options as you can. no doubt there is a "cool" factor there, but as a firearm its one of the best "jack of all trades" guns in general that has ever been made.

Thank god it's not an assault rifle or otherwise these daily mass shootings would have quadruple the body count.

yes, we know you know jack shit about firearms.

scorpion41 posted...

Truthfully I hope no one is using these rifles for in-home defense. FMJ or armor piercing plastic tips that small at that velocity would easily punch through most non-brick walls. The best home defense weapons are either shotguns or pistols loaded with hollow points.

frangible ammo is a thing as are soft and hallow points. it can also depend on the housing and how its built. pretty much everything but bird shot is going to over penetrate if you miss to some degree. people also seem to forget that you can get the AR platform in a massive amount of other calibers while keeping the same setup. a .45 AR carbine with a 26round magazine would be ideal.

enjoy. M&P15's are good solid rifles. and i say that as an actual SR15 owner.

The backtracking is only bad because of the load times, but the item management is AWFUL

the item management is a core aspect of the entire series so i dont really know what to tell you there. 4 was the least obtrusive in the series, even the more newer more action focused ones go back to having more limited inventory. however because of the more linear designs it does mean less fiddling with the inventory's and less puzzle items you have to keep track of. as the series went on you also got more help in inventory expansions that you had to find or upgrade which helped in making it a little less annoying. the original RE and its REmake and 0 are the most unforgiving in that aspect. starting with 2 you had inventory expansion.

as someone who went to a private school that had a fuck ton of security options, the people saying it will "feel like a prison" are full of shit.

youre not going to get interesting puzzles out of the more action-orientated games in the series unfortunately (for the most part). it also depends on what specific aspects of the original you dont like. the backtracking? item management? more maze like level designs? the camera perspective? CVX is a lot of what youll probably hate if all of the above.

Id try REmake 2. Its not really action heavy that you might want, but its a good balance of the more classic style with more modern systems so you might find it more fun to actually play. If thats not action enough then try REmake 3 which goes further into that direction. The revelation games are alright and might scratch that itch you want, but they are more budget focused.

5 is basically 4 on steroids with forced coop and less imagination. can be a lot of fun with a partner, but the AI they put you with may make or break that game for you. 6 you might as well skip unless you find enjoyment in watching a trainwreck. 7 has more modern horror takes while combining a lot of aspects of the originals only being in first person. in doing so however it may not be your cup of a tea. 8 is similar, but goes heavily into the action route almost being a straight up copy of 4 in a lot of ways only in first person. You might actually like it if you dont mind the perspective change.

in general though most of the series eventually boils down to going into more heavier action (including the first one) assuming you dont stick to the higher difficulties. first few hours are tight on resources, then they always load you up for the second half. they all have that item management aspect though the series gets more linear overall as it went on.

170-175 depending if its taco night.

yes
