Well I finished the game, and this says it all. I would call the "GN'R factor" on Rockstar. When they were delivering games within a few years of each other, they were -- 'Rockstars' --, and now they take 5 years and it's overbaked or halfbaked. Sounds familiar.

I would agree I don't understand the weapon selection at all. I will say I like it more than GTAIV which I was really vocal about, even on here, but at least they throw in more fun weapons in GTAV, but there doesn't seem to be alot of cohesive-ness to them. I played through the whole game, and only used maybe 1/3 of the weapons on the weapon wheel, and only used the knife once. Never used the nightstick. Previous GTA games had a purpose for every item, at least once, sometimes taking missions to unlock them.

For example, my favorite weapon was the silenced-Assault Shotgun, which was alot of fun. But... it worked better and was more fun in GTAIV-DLC: Ballad of Gay Tony. Those kind of things.

All of these reviewers talking about "there's SO much to do outside of the missions"... fucking where? Previous GTA games had mini-video games, pool, darts, races, and other stuff. GTAV has races, but they're missing the depth of previous games, and I believe there's darts, I could be wrong. Tennis is boring, haven't played golf yet, and Yoga/Hiking is considered a game? Well I find my zen blowing cops heads off, and my hiking is THE RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE GAME. Seriously?

Maybe I was expecting more. It's still a solid game, but I was expecting something to surpass GTAIV easily, and possilbly surpass Red Dead Redemption. Not even close. The game even at it's best just... never pulled me in like previous games.

I've been downloading the episodes for later, but I haven't watched any yet. I did a brief look at it, and honestly it looks great. Everyone in all their roles. Lange, Bates & Roberts just look "right" for this kind of series.

In an a weird sense, I know a girl right now that looks almost dead-like Emma Roberts. Same body shape, haircut, face, the whole deal. Just everytime I see them, or Roberts, I think of the other person.

They f'ed up Nevermind with the Loudness War bullshit. The mixes were way to fucking HOT. Amplified to fucking distortion.

I couldn't agree more. I've always been stunned to this day how much truth has basically been ignored, if not completely brushed away. Kind of like we always just accept what we're told, and even those that dig further typically have a biased reason why they do.

I might sit down and watch this thing, just because of how it's described. I watched so many pro-Jew sympathy pieces, and have been indoctrinated into the truth as read from a text book for years that it's still one of the most hotly contested periods in time. It's not to be anti-Jew, as much as the Jews have just much a reason to lie as the neo-Nazi's, or these dreamers of a Fourth Reich.

Either way like always the truth is in the middle between the Jews, the Americans, the Soviets, and just the eyes that were there.

I still find it fascinating that even in America we are still finding facts, clues, and artifacts from the Civil War that contest the accepted truth of that war. And everytime it happens, you have the Abolitionist argument all over again. Those who accept no truth from the South, and those who accept no pro-Union stories, and in the end everyone is a fucking liar.

I think this pretty much sums it all up. Even if you look into the psychology of people, as well as social psychology, you will find that about 99% of people just shut down the more "truth" is thrown into their accepted truth, and whatever the collective is believing at any given second. The truth is history is a constantly changing, constantly roving and rotating entity, almost like AI on a computer. Learning and correcting, learning and correcting.

But human beings aren't. We pick a reality, we pick a solution, and by fucking God we stick to that and only that. If anything threatens that, then the human mind goes into overload, shuts down, or takes memory remedies to correct itself, to go back to protecting "their truth" at all costs. Not even thinking that everyone of us is conditioned.

I think all of that sums up why I pretty much feel the same way. The U.S. government's trust is in the toilet, yet we... re-elect almost everyone last election?

That says it all folks. And that's just the U.S. That ain't counting the world where some public officials spend lifetimes running countries.

People have done exactly that, just shut down. It pisses me off, because we could demand more, and change and rectify things so it doesn't happen again. We actually, and proudly, have some members here at Evo that have that "constantly correcting, constantly changing" with hard evidence mindset, like poll, Lofton, myself (sorry if i'm forgetting the others who got involved in all those political or universe debates), but it takes a mind like that to even give a shit when you're lied to.

We live in such a world full of little liars, that when the big lies come down... it's just like drinking water to them.
