People don’t vote because they see the system is rigged so the popular vote isn’t a great standard to go by either, it’s a product of the system as well

My area is such a strong republican district that my vote is functionally irrelevant aside from the president. Hell, they didn't even bother with democrat candidates on a local level.

The Halo 3: ODST OST is so good, man.

Hades, although I refuse to call it a “patient gamer” game

Why? It's 6 years old at this point so I think it qualifies.

Following Iron Lore Entertainment's failure to secure funding for its next project, former members of Iron Lore announced they had created a new company on February 18, 2008.

The first paragraph of their wiki page.

I didn't mean to imply they aren't allowed- just that I don't think anyone would really consider this community an issue unless they're a tankie that's mad about being mocked.

SJW hosts two communities that probably generate 99% of the issues/hate our instance gets: NonCredibleDefense, which is basically just edge-y military shitposting, and this community which is entirely based around making fun of tankies.

In NCD some of the takes can be really hot, but I'm usually pretty sure it's a joke. Sometimes it can go too far, though.

This com is fine idk. Unless you're a tankie and you come here to read about yourself getting mocked, I guess.

Yeah, that's been my experience. 99% of any drama coming out of Blahaj that I've seen was just that their admin banned a thing while being polite about it.

I deeply dislike Nintendo.

Some of them are related. Some of them aren't.

Black Ops and Modern Warfare are generally two separate series- the Modern Warfare games are all related.

Black Ops is a lot more complicated. Black Ops 2 is a direct sequel to Black Ops 1. Technically Black Ops 1 is sort of a sequel to World At War, as well. They share a major character, but it's kind of a minor thing and you won't be missing a ton.

Black Ops 3 has basically nothing to do with the rest- it takes place in 2065 and basically the only thing that links it to the previous games is a throwaway line related to a previous villain and some text logs.

Black Ops 4 didn't have a singleplayer campaign.

Black Ops 5 is Black Ops: Cold War, it is related to 1 & 2 but it's less of a direct continuation and more just the same characters are involved iirc.

Black Ops 6 follows up Cold War, but again is just the same characters.

Personally, I'd suggest doing World At War, Black Ops 1, Black Ops 2, Cold War, and then Black Ops 6 for the 'full experience.' If you wanna circle back around and do Black Ops 3, you can do that pretty much whenever because as I said it's unrelated. You can drop World At War if it doesn't interest you without any real issues. As I said, it just sets up a single character. Dropping any of the others you might actually be confused on plot and characters at points, idk.

Modern Warfare is a lot simpler. Just do them in order.

Things are fine as long as we're not on blahaj, then? Just clarifying.

If you mean singleplayer campaigns: as far back as you can stomach the graphics of.

If you actually want good campaigns, Black Ops 1 is fuckin legendary. World At War was also great. As is Modern Warfare (2007) and Modern Warfare 2(2009). Modern Warfare 3 (2011) was also good. Black Ops 2 was good. I wouldn't bother with any further Black Ops games- one of them doesn't even have a campaign iirc.

For the much much newer titles, Modern Warfare (2019) was good. Modern Warfare (2022) was also solid. Modern Warfare 3 is 'last years title' being referred to in the OP.

None of these are narrative masterpieces exactly- the closest is probably the Black Ops games. With that said, they're very much 'action movie' videogames. Tons of crazy set pieces, unique segments, and then the cutscenes that usually tie together a reasonable enough plot to be interesting.

If you mean multiplayer: honestly just jump into Black Ops 6. None of the older titles are likely to be a great experience at this point. Or just spend your time on a better game lol

 

I've been out for quite awhile- I think since shortly after Deimos and the cambion drift got added but honestly I'm not sure exactly when I stopped playing.

Any new guns/frames I should be trying to grab in particular? Any massive shifts in how things are modded? New quests that are worth doing?

I was trying to unlock Steel Path, but I realized I need to do New War first. So now I'm currently trying to get all the various stuff I need to craft a Voidrig.

 

I'm going to be starting a pretty short campaign here soon. I've mostly got the plot figured out, and when I was helping a player with character creation they asked if there was a good patron for their Warlock character. My initial thought was, "well the BBEG would be interesting."

The players are just exploring a ruined castle/island that's been twisted and it's inhabitants warped due to exposure to a great old one- they're trying to solve the problem and make the place habitable again.

The warlock's patron is the BBEG, an eldritch god trying to force his way onto their plane. He's currently held out of the plane by a magical seal that can't be broken by him or any of his servants. So the Warlock player needs to- subtly- get the party all the way to the seal and manipulate them into breaking it. I did this specifically to avoid him murder hoboing his party members. They have different goals, but they still need each other.

If this goes badly, I figure the worst case scenario is that he gets slapped by the other 5 party members. So I've asked him to have at least an idea for a second character.

 

Personally I think if everything that's promised actually happens the game will be in a significantly better state.
