Current Events > UFC 3 is the worst fighting game I've played.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Zero realism in punches or combos, stamina is ridiculous (Jose Aldo, me, playing conservatively and having 60% of stamina left. Conor, AI on Normal, has 99% and has been spamming attacks all day.)

The submission minigame is the most confusing, unfair thing since the AI cheats. You have a reaction window of 0.1 seconds with R2+ RS Down to stuff a takedown. Animations teleport or stop dead with no momentum. Career mode is atrocious.

Yikes.

I agree, UFC 2 is much better.

I thought the old Undisputed games were more fun honestly even if they are less realistic.

I just tried the stand and bang mode on very hard between two high level strikers and honestly the game just falls apart on the feet, too. Dodging or head/body movement is so wildly uncontrolled, like I can't just hold a button and spin that stick to rotate my upper torso? You kidding? I gotta flick it twice like a dark souls dodge, but when I do, I lose a ton of stamina and can't strike? These devs need to fire up fight night champion, see how it's done.

Edit: That's not to say I suck, I won the fight I'm complaining about, but not in a realistic way at all. The game is full of cheese and exploit.

TC what are your thoughts on Karl Marx?

A great theorist, visionary and explorer of human potential that got caught up with the sycophantic intellectuals he surrounded himself with. Also, compromising his reason for force of will was the biggest downfall of his works. Can't say he's on the pedestal for me.

Interesting. Why do you think he was a great theorist, visionary, and explorer of human potential? What are your thoughts on Elon Musk?

In short, he was able to compromise a theoretical vision for society, economy and set up the foundation of how we know capitalistic exploitation could supposedly work -- it was his "worst case" scenario, but he also recognized it was the most likely to survive due to people being much more dilligent about their "fair cut" than they would be about "everyone elses cut" in a society run on hiearchy. He was right, but again, his economic models and political ideas were romantic but not effective.

Elon Musk is hard to read, and I've tried to get a picture for him. He's tenacious, focused, brilliant and definitely skilled as a leader, visionary and pathfinder in his field. But he's also dangerously bad on the PR front in todays society, constantly saying some snide stuff on social media, getting his foot in his mouth, smoking weed on a podcast (I know he didn't inhale, and I don't even care that he did. I'm just saying, from a public standpoint) and has had a hell of a rocky personal life that is hard to emulate or model.

I don't really know what his agenda is, beyond some far reaching idealism on the space front, and philanthropy with a tight filter on it.
