I don't think they aren't smart in a logical sense, I think its more of a lack of critical thinking and a focus on short term gains (which i would argue aren't even that good lol)
Thats the thing! They most definitely are not! My dad has a degree in computer science, (never did anything with it) and my mom has a degree in ... well accounting, but she is smart, I promise. I think they are just so incredibly gullible. You know that saying, its easy to trick someone with a lie but impossible to convince someone of the truth, or something like that. I think deep down, they know they are wrong, but they dont want to admit that they part of the problem.
I love Half Life 1, more than Half Life 2, infact. Until the platforming. A small amount of platforming is fine, especially if its optional and used to give you more options in a combat scenario. But when you NEED to make precision jumps with the floaty controls, its very frustrating. I usually stop after Surface Tension.
I mean, I've watched gameplay of it, watched friends play it and it doesn't look appealing to me. It looks like Assassins Creed with somewhat better combat.
Oh I loved Cyberpunk, I thought it was fantastic but I played it after 2.0. I can totally see why someone wouldn't get into it though, especially before 2.0.
I love Doom 3, but I totally get what you're saying. Dead Space is for sure like a better version of Doom 3. But I have a soft spot for personally and I love the sci fi environments and world building.
Oh man, yeah the hit reg and combat physics in Bethesda games are awful. At least Morrowind had good RPG elements, I would rather have that DND style of combat than what Oblivion and Skyrim have done with theirs.
I started reading again, it really doesn't take much effort. My husband and I carve out around an hour or so of reading time before bed. Been reading Stephen Baxter novels and I forgot how much fun reading is.
I'm a big fan of Sci-Fi so if anyone has some recommendations, gimme some.
I have a softspot for Die Another Day, because it was the only one I had as a kid, and I'm one of the 6 people who like the theme song. I agree it is not fitting for Bond.
I actually really enjoyed Tomorrow Never Dies, but I wish Brosnan had gotten more serious films that were written better like Goldeneye.
Mannn that movie is kind of a worse version of 007 Nightfire lol. At least the movies immediately before and after are quite good.
Though I have one guilty pleasure with this movie, and its Jaws' corny ass romance. For some reason I just like that plot point lol, even if they butcher Jaws throughout this movie.
I don't think they aren't smart in a logical sense, I think its more of a lack of critical thinking and a focus on short term gains (which i would argue aren't even that good lol)
