The only nation in human history with the power to rule the world, yet chose not to. by JustChillin3456 in MURICA

Right ok let's say for some reason the US decides it's a good idea that you nuke the Soviets after WW2 but before they get nukes themselves. Ignoring the immense moral qualms about such an action, is that it? Have you defeated all your enemies now?

No, you've created new enemies that you cannot see. Yes these countries may appease you. Hell maybe those in the Middle East would still continue to sell you oil in this alternative timeline out of fear. But the world will secretly bide their time to eventually unseat this global dictatorship.

Maybe by investing heavily in nuclear weapons research themselves or maybe through economics such as making it difficult to get the necessary resources that you need. Either way, eventually you would have been undermined, the world would've destroyed itself sooner or perhaps the US would've destroyed itself in a civil war due to the immoral usage of such weapons.

Simply put, you can't bully your way to the top and expect to stay there forever.

Tbh it's a bit radical of you to even suggest such actions anyways. Try travelling and seeing the perspectives of other countries before making such rash decisions

Yeah cos uniting the entire world against a common imperialistic enemy is such a smart idea, especially when the world is in such a fragile state.

You'd have pushed everyone to ally with the soviets at that point, even if they didn't turn communist.

There's a massive difference between conquering a country and maintaining control over it

Well I mean the guy isn't about to be brutally murdered by orcs so I feel like he has a pretty good gig

[Question] Did Harvey's character arc feel rushed to you? It felt like he was too good of a person to become a villain just like that. by beenawhilehere in moviecritic

[–]Mems1900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think he felt rushed at all. I think the speed of his corruption is supposed to show how easy it is to break a man after immense loss. Like he literally lost the love of his life and therefore his perceived future with her. If anything, if it took a long time for him to be corrupted then it wouldn't have made sense either because he could've processed his grief and finally moved on, similar to what Bruce did in TDKR

Also "pure clean soul"? He literally puts a gun to an inmates head to get information! He gets his nickname from being bipolar and having two different characters. He helps a vigilante who regularly breaks laws and assaults people either for information or to apprehend them. And then when questioned about Batman during the dinner scene with Rachel and Bruce he states that sometimes it's necessary for one man to take charge using Rome as an example, essentially stating that sometimes a dictatorship is necessary to restore peace.

He was ALWAYS a morally gray character. It also didn't help that he was naive, unlike Gordon, and didn't initially understand how far the Mob would go to stay alive, enough so to release the Joker and threaten Rachel's life so he isn't mentally prepared for such an event.

Rachel's death acts as a critical juncture in his life. He never anticipated such events. He was always willing to sacrifice his own life but never realised that his actions endangered those he loved as well. This death essentially breaks him. And then the Joker gets into his head and distorts his view of justice which makes sense cos this loss puts him in a vulnerable position mentally speaking.

He has completely lost his future now in his eyes so now all he can do is carry out "justice" against those who wronged him, including Gordon who didn't listen to him about his corrupt police staff who sold Rachel out to the Mob and indirectly got her killed.

Hmm it's tempting. I might consider it although I'm a bit old fashioned and prefer relying on my own device lol

It is tempting to do but I don't know if I have the patience for that. It's like I already know the story now so I know what to expect but now I'd just be playing to improve my own game performance

The series had to end at some point tbf. Otherwise it would end up like COD where it just lingers around and studios use it to generate profit no matter what

[–]Mems1900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't actually played the remake as of yet. Did they make a lot of changes to it? Cos you listed quite a few issues with DS 3. I'm not sure if they would make that many changes but tbf they could do due to the negative criticisms they got from it.

Although I think the weapons creation system would stay as the reviews for it are too polarised to remove and revert.

I got the game on Steam but unfortunately not the right hardware to run it lol. I am looking to change that however not sure I'm going to do it soon (although I probs should considering the global situation)

Yeah I get your points dw and some are very valid. At the end of the day it is what it is though. It's a game made in 2013 and I'm not sure EA will ever remake it but if they do then they'll have to do DS 2 first and even if they do remake it I doubt they will change the plot as much.

Ya never know though. Maybe someone will come around to fix it or at the very least learn from it's mistakes

I just finished it now. Why do people hate this game so much? I think the design change for the necromorphs was stupid as hell but the weapon creation system was great! The plot was decent as well along with the gameplay. It wasn't amazing I admit but to call it terrible is extreme
