Is it really romance when Gouda gets shut down repeatedly and Takeru from Muv Luv manages to inadvertently cockblock him twice in the span of like five minutes?

Excuse you, the first waifu war was from Super Dimension Fortress Macross.

I get a weird feeling there's a reason FE evolved to what it is today rather than stay in the old style.

It was too hard for people so they added baby difficulty modes that make it impossible to lose and turned it into a dating sim with self insert MCs, because that's what sells these days.
Advance Wars is dead because they couldn't figure out how to shove waifus into it.

No Das Boot so far, I'm disappointed.

unless they release the first two as well

They won't. The Switch port is NISA's idea and western distribution rights for the first two CS games are still held by XSEED. That's why NISA's pushed CS3 as a good entry point to the series, even though it's the exact opposite; they're not going to say you should go and play a game released by one of their competitors even though it's crucial in a series as long as Trails at this point.

Cyclist probably deserved it for swerving in and out of traffic like the rest of their shitty kind.

I see cars tailgating, cutting people off, and getting in roadrage where they use their vehicle as a battering ram in anger so they deserve to die and get in accidents because it makes me upset.

This is you, by the way.

Nioh's harder initially but there's so many ways to break the game while in a new game, and the biggest challenge on later difficulties is not getting one-shotted by the 1vs2 bosses.

There's also some weird things, like when the Red Suns and the Emperor Evo squad try to take over every prefecture they're the bad guys, but Project D is literally just Red Suns plus Takumi doing the same exact thing and suddenly they're the good guys.

Second Stage is nice because it shows there's always someone better and Takumi isn't invincible, but then he gets a professional race car engine and every race has him win in increasingly ridiculous manners. The S2000 in Fourth Stage is one of the worst examples of this.

but so far i think cold steel 3 is the best game in the cold steel saga

I agree but let's be honest, it's not exactly a high bar to set after CS2.

i loved both 1 and 2. the story/characters/worldbuilding make it for me and i think they have been consistently amazing the entire way through

2 would have been better if the buildup past the cliffhanger in 1 actually paid off. Instead you spend half the game flying around revisiting the same exact places as 1 so they can reuse assets and recruit high school students while all of the cool stuff happens off-screen on the other side of the continent.

There's also the hysterically bad writing like how everyone talks about wanting to bring Crow back despite assassinating Osbourne, but when Scarlet is captured Rean talks about how what she did was unforgivable so she has to go and atone for her crimes. But Crow went to our anime high school military academy so what he did was alright, haha the shining bonds of Thors am I right?

If you're lucky, by the time you finish the games in English in 7 years, Calvard will finally get a game.

I honestly cannot understand why anyone rates Makoto highly. She gets herself kidnapped and the whole party blackmailed with her stupidity almost immediately, and the entire party gets dumber the moment she joins just so she can seem like she's the brains of the group.

I mean Fates as a whole sucked but you're in luck because Conquest was the best of the three games as long as you turn your brain off when the story is happening

Literally every route that isn't Black Eagles makes Edelgard look like an imbecile though.

From just that one path, I felt like the story was missing some core information

This is especially a problem with Black Eagles, which bends over backwards to make Edelgard not look like the drooling idiot she is in every other route.

Are people missing the fact that OP says "a spartan or a samurai"? It's not unit vs unit, it's single combat. The spartan is pretty screwed in this regard.

Samurai have access to firearms, it's not really a contest

USA lost in Vietnam despite having nukes

The United States lost Vietnam because of public unrest not because of a lack of options. Nuclear Weapons made Vietnam a cakewalk, we just chose not to use them because, you know, the incalculable loss of life from not only their use but the use of Soviet nuclear strikes as a result of them being used. But you know the option was there.

So you can win against the side that has nukes

That's because North Vietnam had backing from allies that themselves had nuclear weapons.

All US troops withdrawing from northern Syria are expected to be relocated to western Iraq, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper confirmed.

Mr Esper told reporters that, under current plans, about 1,000 soldiers would be redeployed to help stop the resurgence of Islamic State (IS).

President Donald Trump has previously pledged to bring US troops home.

The US withdrawal from northern Syria paved the way for a Turkish military offensive against Kurdish fighters.

Both sides have accused the other of breaching a US-brokered ceasefire.

Ankara views one of the prominent militias in the Kurdish forces as terrorists, and wants to create a "safe zone" buffer inside Syria. Turkey agreed on Thursday to pause its offensive until Tuesday night, giving Kurdish fighters time to withdraw from the frontier.

On Sunday, Turkey said one of its soldiers was killed and another wounded in a Kurdish attack near the Syrian town of Tal Abyad.

In a separate development, a convoy of ambulances and pickups carrying Kurdish fighters was seen leaving the besieged town of Ras al-Ain on Sunday. Reports said pro-Turkish forces were now in control there.

Correspondents said it appeared to be the start of a wider withdrawal under the ceasefire agreement.

Some reports said civilians were also leaving because they feared atrocities by Syrian militias allied to Turkey.

Kurdish forces had previously accused Turkey of not allowing people to be evacuated from the border town.

Meanwhile, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and a bipartisan group of US lawmakers have arrived in Jordan for talks with King Abdullah.

Ms Pelosi, along with senior US politicians, has strongly criticised President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw troops from northern Syria.

"With the deepening crisis in Syria after Turkey's incursion, our delegation has engaged in vital discussions about the impact to regional stability, increased flow of refugees, and the dangerous opening that has been provided to Isis (IS), Iran and Russia," she said in a statement.

What about US troops?
On a flight to the region, Mr Esper said US forces would be used to "help defend Iraq" and counter an attempt by IS to re-establish itself there.

"The US withdrawal continues apace from north-eastern Syria... we're talking weeks, not days," he said.

"The current game plan is for those forces to re-position into western Iraq."

A senior US defence official cautioned that plans could change "but that is the game plan right now".

In a tweet, later deleted, President Trump quoted Mr Esper - whom he referred to as Mark Esperanto - as saying that the ceasefire was "holding up very nicely".

But he's totally "bringing our boys home", right?

nothing can happen, they are under our control in secure underground bunkers. and if the turks tried to force their way in, the bombs are designed so they can be rendered inert in short order.

Besides they cannot be fired without American authorization codes AFAIK. I don't think that Turkey has the capability to handle nukes at the moment at least.

IIRC the nukes in Turkey should be B61s, and their export-model F-16s don't even have the capability to utilize them.

Fuck turkey

Turkey has 50 of our own nukes held captive. If we tick them off who knows what would happen.

Turkey doesn't have access to the nukes and their planes don't have the software to use them. There's no question of what would happen if they actually tried to seize them.

>ywn have a drink with Sara

Yeah, and he's bringing our boys home

and sending almost 3000 to Saudi Arabia instead

But it's okay because they're paying, and thus it's perfectly fine for the US military to be Saudi Arabia's private army

So how is Turkey going to permanently enforce a "safe zone" on Syria's soil without annexing territory?

Also, what's going to happen to the Kurdish civilians living in the area when two million refugees now claim it as their new home?
