The gameplay wasn't anything to write home about 7 years ago and it's basically unchanged
I really don't think the gameplay gets enough love. If you choose just the right difficulty level for you, it's tense and thrilling as ****.

Something he said in that dinner scene with the Rodney King riots really struck something as the Brooks murder just happened.

He's all "Imagine if Rodney King ran over and killed Danny. You'd be singing a different tune."

And I'm thinking "he's right. If he did,I would be singing a different tune but he didn't, and it's wrong to treat him as if he would have."

Indeed. There's a reason the victim isn't also the judge. I could be wronged and want to see someone tarred and feathered, but that emotion doesn't validate changing the outcome of a system that is already in place. That's not how it works, despite the difference in how I would act and feel if it was someone I knew vs someone I didn't know.

I really liked the whole weapon break thing, which seems to be what a lot of people have an issue with. I think it fits for the game.

One thing I would say though is the main dungeons are short, boring and uninspired with copy-paste areas and copy-paste bosses.

It's a tricky balance between wanting to stay informed and not wanting to go crazy. It's like this Jon Stewart quote I posted a little while ago, from a recent interview:

"Its like porn. I dont mean that to be flip. When you were pubescent, the mere hint of a bra strap could send you into ecstasy. Im 57 now. If its not two nuns and a mule, I cant even watch it. Do you understand my point? The algorithm is not designed for thoughtful engagement and clarity. Its designed to make you look at it longer."

Not just political things but any kind of bad news, outrage, hot takes, etc. etc. Sometimes I do feel like it's poisoning my brain, but now that restrictions are easing more where I am I'm able to get away from it more easily.

No ones saying "throw the whole thing out". People just want both sides of a story and for journalism to look at every angle and report on every angle, not just one. It's not hard to ask of organizations that claim "Facts First" and then proceed to intentionally only report on specific stories and include race baiting headlines
As long as we apply this to FOX news most of all then sure.

I'm asking your opinion on why you think they may not be reporting on it. You're sticking up for the media, saying they're not race baiting and stoking racial tensions. So you must have a reason why you believe that.

I think to some extent, they do do that. And were partly responsible for Trump. And do a lot of things wrong. But I don't think that makes the media or journalism inherently bad. There are things they can do better, sure. Doesn't mean you have to throw the whole thing out just because they aren't perfect. That's classic conservatism lol.

Mostly from my own experience of consuming news over the years. It's gotten progressively worse, particularly with what I witnessed during this past election cycle and about "Trump-Russia collusion". CNN and the like talked about it 24/7, like it was the *only* thing that mattered. Turned out to be false in the end anyways.

This is actually a misconception and there is strong evidence that it was not in fact false and there was indeed some illegal activity, as to whether one would call it 'collusion' is beside the point. 'Collusion' isn't the legal term or test there. And there is evidence he's done something similar with China recently.

Houston posted... They post race bait, click bait articles saying "White man does ____ to black person" but won't post and talk about instances where a black person did something to a white person. Most recent example is where a black man pushed down a 92 year old white woman. MSNBC, NBC, CNN, ABC --- not even an article. Only local news is reporting on it. If a white man pushed down a black lady so lackadaisically like this man did, it would be all over CNN on the front page.


What I gather from what you said is not any actual evidence it just sort of seems to be a vague kind of feeling you have.

Fanning the flames of racial tensions and riots. Warping reality. Justifying looting and rioting. How are people this clueless? Seriously.

That's not really a response to what he claimed. That's just your view on what 'they' (the all scary all powerful 'they') do. What he claimed was that "The mainstream media is the biggest group of liars and manipulators this world has ever seen." What is that based on?

I don't think it's a problem at all. For the most part, it's not about covering news anymore. In most instances, they're completely politicized and journalism of today is nothing compared to the journalism of old. They have an agenda and a clear bias and that's not what journalism is supposed to be

All journalism inherently will have some bias, even if only by what is omitted. Can you give an example of how journalism was consistently better back in the day? What are you basing that on? What do you believe journalism is supposed to be? Do you have any examples of that?
