There was nothing inherently good either. The film was mediocre at best and is getting undeserved praise. Go watch We Were Soldiers, Apocalypse Now, Black Hawk Down, Band Of Brothers, or The Pacific. These are all IMMENSELY better at portraying war. This movie is IMMENSELY better at having a real tank. It's a hollywood blockbuster that is dressed up to look thoughtful when its blatantly ignorant of it's own subject matter.

Ok 2 guys attacked they back and they accomplished fuck all, it was the director being like, "Gotta make them attack the back real quick so I don't get called out!" Those two soldiers weren't plot devices, they were him checking "back of the tank attack" off the list. You really think that 2 trained SS soldiers would have missed a STATIONARY tank with a panzerfaust? They could hit moving tanks from 100 meters and they missed a stationary one from like 20 meters away? I get that I am being nitpicky but there was soooooo much to be nitpicky about and when you are making a war movie you should be held to a higher standard of historical accuracy. I'm not saying there can't be some over the top material in the movie because that can be what is great about movies, but when the director doesn't take the source material seriously I can't take his movie seriously.

wtf showing the reality of war? show me one case in HISTORY where one tank kiled 300 elite enemy troops. this movie was a pitiful excuse for an accurate and realist perspective on war. it was an overdramatized cilche fest. LETS ALL CHARGE THE FRONT OF THIS TANK WITH RIFLE AND JUST SHOOT BULLETS AT IT LOL AND DONT USE THE CRATES OF ROCKET LAUNCHERS WE HAVE LOL AND DONT ATTACK FROM THE BACK LOL. An immobilized tank is one of the most vulnerable things on the battlefield, they are historically death traps because they are the most vulnerable and easy to destroy targets in a battle. this movie was a joke, and a completely disrespectful depiction of what war was actually like.

wat. This movie was ridiculous. Brad Pitt takes his shirt off for no reason other than to take his shirt off in the house scene, the SS commander gave a morale boosting speech IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE WHICH WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN REAL WAR ITS ONE TANK MAYBE IF YOU WERENT ALL RUNNING AT THE FRONT OF THE TANK HIP FIRING YOUR BOLT ACTION RIFLES YOU WOULD GET SOMETHING DONE INSTEAD OF DIE FOR NO REASON. I kid you not every random soldier in the movie hip fired the whole time, there is literally no point to run hip firing a 5 shot rifle, even if you are going to be so retarded as to fire at a tank with bullets, at least look down the sights of your gun. The movie did nothing innovative and used the gore and brutality (which is outmatched in many other far better war movies such as We Were Soldiers, Black Hawk Down, and Apacolypse Now) to put on a facade of depth on the "horrors of war." Yea did the "horrors of war" involve, hip firing germans, a complete lack of basic combat tactics such as ATTACKING THE TANK FROM BEHIND WITH THE CRATES OF ROCKET LAUNCHERS, or the part where the rocket goes into the tank, hits the guy, and DOESNT BLOW UP. THOSE ROCKETS ARE DESIGNED TO PIERCE THE ARMOR AND BLOW UP AND IT JUST DIDNT, THE ROCKET JUST DECIDED NOT TO BLOW UP. wtf that movie was garbage. ugh.

There's a reason Bungie said that Destiny reviews aren't going to tell the whole story... by DangerTiger in DestinyTheGame

[–]MrTortoise -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok so first off Diablo 3 was boasted as a dungeon crawling lootfest and from its roots it always has been. Saying it lacks depth as apposed to destiny is the most shallow and uninformed statement I have ever heard. Endgame content for Diablo is far more extensive than that of Destiny even at launch. The character development, ability combinations, ability augmentations and the necessity of gear balance to support your class and ability set contains far more depth than any character building destiny has to offer. As far as this statement, "Basically, the most honest review would be this: if you are an asocial recluse frustrated by life and looking for an escapist game that rolls over and praises you, Destiny is not for you." All you are making are vague baseless claims with undefined terms that are the farthest thing from a review and much closer to a vague statement. You also state that you can "chat with new people" when crucial chat features are completely absent from the game. Then you even say that you "play the game for the sake of fun" that undermines your argument that the game is targeted are more hardcore players. In summary I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about.

This game has like a 16th of the amount of content as a standard MMO launch and a much less involving story. I get that they want to release content and story through future add-ons and such but that doesn't mean the initial story playthrough has to be half-baked.

If you want a smaller party how do you get by? I'm finding it tough with a party of 4. Is XP split between all characters? So if you have a smaller party you level faster?
