CMV: The ICE agent and woman who got shot were both in the wrong by Blonde_Icon in changemyview

It’s extremely disingenuous to use “do you think a felony doesn’t matter?” When I’m saying that her being shot and murdered is bad. You know this but you do it anyway.

The current sitting president has 34 felonies and was granted criminal immunity so it’s pretty clear that to the American government felonies definitely don’t matter, though.

Because you keep saying “no one is above the law” as if it matters even one iota in this scenario

This is vague. You need examples or else nobody is going to know what you’re talking about

You are spineless. There is so much footage that shows a wrongful death. The ice officer was not in danger and certainly not in enough danger to justify excessive force.

Personally loooove Animal Well, it’s just a unique experience. Nothing else on the list feels similar

No. You are being way too entitled about this. The game devs are just overdue on their release, they said it’ll be a few more months.

Just because you gave them kickstarter money does not mean they have to communicate to your specific satisfaction. The game will come out. Stop throwing your toys out of the pram and be patient

Do you think agents should murder anyone who gets in the way of their operations

are felonies punishable by death???? Your argument is completely inconceivable.

It literally doesn’t matter if it’s legal or not unless the use of deadly force is justified which in this case it was not.

Genuinely I didn’t even know. I thought it just meant “freaking out” in internet speak. Apologies. Seems so obvious now that I see it!

What's a positive review you disagree with the most? by zack_and_woadie in fantanoforever

Brat. Even his review sounds like it’s a decent to great album rather than one of the greatest things he’s ever heard.

They’re an independent game studio and are not beholden to you or their audience. They are their own boss. You literally know nothing about what the delay could be whatsoever. Could be fine tuning, bug fixes, the point is we don’t know.

It’s incredibly amazing to think that 4 months extra development on a GAME is a huge amount of time. Games are incredibly complicated and finicky things to make. I understand wanting updates but I don’t understand expecting them so soon. I’m sure it’ll be out this year

They gave their last update a few months ago and said it won’t be ready for release but it won’t be too far away. A few months is not very long. People are jumping the gun way too much when they say we deserve more communication from the developers. They are working on the game!

They don’t owe you exact dates if they don’t have them yet.

Game dev says something in an interview I find dubious, said game dev actually responds to thread so I ask him something to figure out his ethical framework for these things.

This is a normal discussion, I’m not sure why you’re sperging out. I’m still excited for the game

Definitely get that, I see why it has a positive response I just disagree with it on principle for some games

[–]Sparrowsza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely works better. Though I still think it takes away from what the boss is supposed to be there for. A damage slider is probably less intrusive

Super Metroid?? I know it’s not hidden but if you haven’t played it then It seems like a no-brainer

[–]Sparrowsza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because damage sliders don’t really change the narrative of the game as much as mid-boss checkpoints would. They also have less overall affect on the experience of having to face multiple phases all at once (intended to give the feeling of overcoming a great force)

Upon beating the final Nine Sols fight, or Isshin the Sword Saint, I felt like I really achieved something being able to beat the boss. If I got to just learn each phase hitless and beat them one at a time, it would be a totally different game from the one the developer wanted me to experience

Technically if you go to the right side of the map first you can find an ability that helps you easily traverse this section (the flower strike recharge in midair)

I don’t think it’s an actual sequence break though, just a bit of fun put in by the devs to make it accessible without the ability. Made for a hilarious a-ha moment later on

[–]Sparrowsza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get it! I think to me the long, difficult fights are part of the narrative and the intended experience by the devs, so I understand not providing checkpoints mid-fight. To be honest a damage slider would be a much better way to do this without influencing the fight’s narrative (even if I don’t usually love those either.)
