Cutting the sound pressure by a factor of 1000 (30 dB, per that video) is not 'barely anything'. Sure their role is massively exaggerated and misrepresented in games and movies, but they do have a very large effect.
Note that I'm not saying that Marx is a murderer, just that his famous ideas are bad (for reasons well-documented in the pages of history). I would rather not have him as an idol in popular media that I consume.
did you complain loudly when oliver north, who bears partial responsibility for the crack epidemic, was used as a consultant for a CoD game?
The 20th century saw 100 million people murdered by their own governments in an attempt to make Karl Marx's vision for the future a reality. I hope the game handles him appropriately.
That seems unnecessarily harsh on Dan. This is way below that level.
Holding Marx responsible for the crimes of Stalin & Mao & Hoxha & Pot makes as much sense as holding Adam Smith responsible for the crimes committed by capitalists throughout history, or Rousseau for the French Revolution & the bloodshed that followed. He was a philosopher, an economist & basically one of the creators of the field of sociology, not the leader of a genocidal regime. Marx I bet the OP has read barely a page of Marx, if that. If we use his logic then where does it stop? Do we go back to Hegel, whose ideas influenced a young Karl Marx? And then his predecessors in the German idealist movement, going back to Kant, one of the most influential names in modern western philosophy? And so on, right the way back to Socrates. It's absurd.
Just as the son cannot be held responsible for the sins of the father, so the father cannot be accountable for the sins of the son. Marx's ideas influenced lots of people who didn't lead genocidal regimes, there'd be no modern progressive social democracy without Marxism for starters.
Keep fighting the good fight, clearly this guy was a genius despite everything his influenced touched turning to shit. Defending the ideology of mass-murderers is always a good look.
Again, that's a great understanding of history and ideologies. Making grand claims based on nothing is always a good look.
We don't consider Archimedes great just because he did "great math" in some theoretical sense, we consider him great because his insight had a very positive effect on society. Correspondingly, we should also consider Marx terrible for the impact his contributions have had. It's not that complicated. The only reason you could want to dissociate him with the results of his ideals is because you aren't quite ready to abandon them as good ideas.
Based on his Espg. Rank and the fact that he has played zero multiplayer, it would seem that this was filmed awhile ago not to long after release. That or are that many less people playing this on xbox or are they even connected to online i might be totally wrong lol
Nope. They talk about kojima tracker, which was only created after the 1st or 2nd episode, so it can't be that old.
I'm sure this has been posted a thousand times by now, but for the love of god Drew...use your damn night vision goggles.
I never felt the need to use them when I played.
they're not necessary at all, but they can be handy. I'd usually look over an outpost without them to mark the obvious guys, then flip em on to see if I missed anyone, and I'd usually get a few more afterwards, especially with upgraded ones.
Echoing for the millionth time the complaint about the slams, I constantly see that it's going to screw Drew over when he's trying to be stealthy and it does. I don't want or expect them to play perfectly (I could never get holdups to work when playing myself and usually just choked people out), but the cqc slam is just bad if you're not fultoning straight away.
@tandooricactus: I rarely ever threw dudes to the ground because it was louder, they got up quicker
This is actually just not true. .
Hmm. Not sure about this. Enemies will hear from about 10-15 meters away when a body falls over, such as a tranq'd guard or if you whack dude's into a wall.. They won't insta alert but I'm pretty sure it will set off the "curious" attention state.
I'm pretty confident I never got a 'huh?' from cqc slamming dudes alone, maybe a few from doing it into a breakable item though. By itself, the slam makes no noise to guards though. Bump a chair though? Hoo boy, watch out
