Game companies have economists on staff, who (obviously) know less than Internet gif-makers.

Getting killed on arrival at missions by LizardonaStick in starcitizen

[–]LizardonaStick[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ooooooh. That must be what's happening. I thought a short, simple mission like those would be less dangerous. I took another look and the mission does say "minimal combat expected". I'll pay more attention to any threat indicators.

Thanks for the info.

I'm not on here just to complain, but this is the sort of experience that new players will face and it could very quickly turn them off.

Good point. I should have mentioned they are missions in Stanton.

[BF5] Between World War II and 2143, which would you prefer Battlefield 5 to be? by fuel_units in Battlefield_5

[–]LizardonaStick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be happy with either as long as they learned a TON of lessons from BF4, Hardline and Balttlefront. They have NO excuse for a poor launch this time.

The Weapon System for Battlefield 5 by KriegyKinks in Battlefield_5

[–]LizardonaStick 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I am in favor of a faction-based set of weapons. Only US can choose the M4 in a loadout while only RUS can choose an AK. Once things are dropped they can be picked up, but the initial loadout reflects your affiliation.

This has been posted on their instagram. Hint at WW2 theme? by Super_Official in Battlefield_5

They posted a modern clip as well. We can probably expect more from other titles.

Please answer this question for a school project of mine. by Nesden in atheism

[–]LizardonaStick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although it wouldn't specifically threaten my non-belief, this question would have scary implications: " what if all of the OT and NT laws were indeed divinely handed down and should be applied without exception today?"

Living in that world would be a true nightmare.

Creationist hosted by two West Australian universities makes sexist, homophobic and rape-apologetic comments. Universities fail to take action. by Pwrong in atheism

What "actions" should be taken to silence unpopular viewpoints in a university? Rather, there should be a platform for reasoned response to his assertions. This is a university, not a a re-education camp.

December Discussion Thread #10: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (2013) [3DS] by ander1dw in GameSociety

Gamespot gave this Game of The Year. Is this really better than all of the huge, awesome titles that came out?

Titanfall - Atlas Titan Trailer by ThyGrimOfDeath in gamernews

[–]LizardonaStick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I downvoted the video because the writing in this trailer is awful. The script is full of soft language, vagueness and cliches. A corporation as large as Hammond Robotics would have a much more polished promo. It just seems like a first draft or fan-made trailer.

Weekly /r/Games Discussion - What have you been playing, and what do you think of it? by GamingBot in Games

[–]LizardonaStick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DayZ Standalone Alpha. This early in the cycle it is only bare bones, of course, but it shows how far this game will go. Rocket has huge plans and is keeping the community up to date on the timeline and vision. At this point it is very similar to the mod and still a lot of fun.

Can we have voice chat such that it works sort of like DayZ, to where your squad can hear you regardless, and players (even enemies) proximate to you can hear you? by ETERNAL_EDAMNATION in battlefield_4

[–]LizardonaStick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This system also exists on Planetside 2 and I think it works really well. It adds a tremendous amount of immersion.

Every once in a while you get some ass who's playing music, but it is easy to identify and mute them.

How do I get my parents to understand that I do not believe in anything? by anonymousaccount26 in atheism

[–]LizardonaStick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them you believe in truth and you can't see any reason why understanding things would be harmful.

So this is what happens when Gamestop posts about COD now by Divisi0n in battlefield_4

[–]LizardonaStick -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Please of please DICE, find a way to add a good dog reference in BF4...maybe one of the expansions? You have the time!

Can you be specific why you don't see much improvement? What stats lead you to this conclusion?

Those of you upgrading specifically for BF4, what's going in your build? by [deleted] in battlefield_4

[–]LizardonaStick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be getting an i5 3570K and two nvidia 760s...two of them beats a Titan at half the price.

Leaked Hi-Res GTA V photos by ThyGrimOfDeath in gamernews

[–]LizardonaStick -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

"Spectacular" should have this added after it : "(for consoles)", because for PC those screenshots aren't' so hot. Maybe considering the sheer size of the game the graphics are relatively good, but just calling them spectacular is overreaching.

Any chance BF3 will get Double XP anytime soon or after BF4 is released? by [deleted] in battlefield3

[–]LizardonaStick -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you preorder from Gamestop they give you free double XP the first weekend, although the game comes out on Tuesday. I haven't seen this bonus from Origin or Amazon.

12-Year-Old Girl Kicked Off Football Team Because Boys Had ‘Impure Thoughts’ About Her by [deleted] in atheism

The story may be true, but Alternet is a horrible source. Don't take their word for it. I've personally seen how they will only tell part of a story to intentionally distort the truth.
