I blame the normies.

I don't wonder why they call it the "gaming ""industry""" anymore.

Have you bought Battlefront /v/?

Is completely broken and anyone with half an ounce of sense knows it. It favours people with more money, and it's completely hype-driven because most people don't HAVE half an ounce of sense and can't make decisions which will actually benefit them.

From a popular standpoint, the free market works perfectly. Lots of people like it, and they buy things they like. But in terms of optimization - in terms of people actually getting the best products, the best experiences, the best economy - the free market is horribly lacking.

Maybe the 5th game will have more than 10 guns that don't share most of their stats, less grenade spam, more heroes that don't get a 90 killstreak, and will have the jetpack integrate to allow for variety.

I kinda want them to get to the sequel trilogy already though. I want to play as Finn, Kylo Ren, and Phasma already.

Again, only because bribery and weak will towards previous constituted intentions leaves gov't's like US susceptible.

The country worked better as a republic than it does as a democracy.

Back before world war 1 only landowners could vote. Meaning that only the people with vested interest in the country could vote.

Switzerland is only so great because the people there are highly educated and have been for a very long time. It also helps that they pretty much serve as one gigantic bank.

Whereas in America, even among whites and asians, most people are stupid as fuck. I would know, I went to school in San Francisco, a city full of asians. The vast majority of them are painfully average and mundane.

Why is it that White countries, have much higher standards of living than Africa? Why is Europe being flooded with non-Whites from Africa and the Middle East and not the other way around? Africa is the most resource rich continent in the world and Rhodesia and South Africa both had the highest standards of living in African history. What is it about White people that make non-Whites want to live around them and take their stuff so much?

>>322542840
Switzerland is great because White people make the best civilizations. Start flooding the place with Somalis and Syrian and I guarantee they will not be the great place it once was.

And your anecdotes are meaningless in the face of obvious historical and statistic realities. Asians have higher average IQs than Whites do, ON AVERAGE, as an AGGREGATE. This is common knowledge.

You don't think that has anything to do with colonialism and whitey fucking up everything for Africans almost permanently?

Hint: whitey had a hand in fucking BOTH regions up.

>Africa is the most resource rich continent in the world and Rhodesia and South Africa both had the highest standards of living in African history.
Reminder that the white man exploited Africa as a whole and committed various atrocities for the exploitation of said resources for centuries.

What is it about white people that make them hate other races unfairly and decide that they can go into other countries to steal their resources and leave these regions in shambles?

I think the 600,000,000 is actually comprised of selling to consumers AND to stores. EA has never officially come out with numbers. When Battlefield 3 sold 13 million, they were telling everyone and their mother. EA themselves haven't released figures.

>>322542748
The only people who have ever tried to explore the world and have succeeded are Europeans and Asians.

Sub-Saharan Africans and Native Americans do not have the type of culture, intellect or ambition to explore or colonize the world.

To deny these facts is simply wrong. Just look at the Caribbean islands. Cuba is doing massively well for itself, mainly because of its massive trading ties with Europe and their acceptance of European influence. But lets say Haiti for instance, with its entire population consisting mostly as descendants of West Africans and the Natives of the island, is incredibly poor and the people are incredibly uneducated.

I'm not trying to imply that all Europeans or Asians are smarter than all Africans or all Native Americans, just that they're better educated and have a culture that reflects this.

Also, I'm not that guy. He's just a bigot.

I'm only stating the truth. By the technical definition of what average means most people are average and this causes them to be mundane because the average person in America does not like to think.

>You don't think that has anything to do with colonialism and whitey fucking up everything for Africans almost permanently?

Oh yeah, because Africans were doing so well for themselves before the European man came around.

Lets use Japan as an example. Most people probably don't realize this but Japan before western interest in the 1800s was an incredibly primitive country. But due to their tenacity and culture they are now one of the greatest countries in the world. The west has been trying to do this with Africa for much longer and has only barely begun to make a dent because of how much less intelligent the Sub-Saharan Africans are.

Also, look up the history of Zimbabwe if you want proof that it wasn't evil ol' whitey that fucked Africa up. Because last time I checked it wasn't the white man that makes up the African warlords who rape little girls and mutilate their genitals.

For starters, the world was always politically charged. Secondly blaming everyone else for your perceived problems isn't getting a "real understanding of the world", it's running away from a problem. Thirdly this is a board filled with NEETs who have very little if any real world experience outside of a computer monitor.

Fourthly, this is a board about video games; economic discussions can go to /biz where most of these half baked economic schemes would get BTFO and political discussions can go to either /pol or /int where again they'd get BTFO. The only reason to post in a thread like this on a board like this is to have a perceived advantage over a crowd of idiots.

I like to opt for the "implicit White supremacy" tactic, wherein I agree with them that White people have unlimited power and non-Whites are not capable of accomplishing anything without White people's help.

Having never seen the Star Wars movies until a few days ago i got to wonder, what is it about them that caused them to be so successful, especially the first couple? I mean the visuals were great for the time but other than that the story starts off with next to no context and you're expected to just go along with it all, i would think that would turn off most movie goers.

How are suppose to rebuttal nonsense?

We give Africa billions upon billions of dollars for them to recover. India became a shithole soon after they gain independence. Many lands were nothing but wastelands before colonists came to them. Minorities have every advantage they could possibly have in legal affairs yet they still fail expect for the 'whitewashed' 'uncle toms'

It succeeded. I don't give a shit if you like Star Wars, go ahead, but don't pretend it's deep or stimulating.

Its the quintessential hero's journey. Most people can relate to that because exploration is a trait that is shared by almost everybody. It is very relatable to a good many people.

And unlike Star Trek, its not particularly scientific, its all magic and mysticism. Which awakens the childlike wonder that most people deep inside themselves.

He's got a point, social marxism has infested whites more than ethnic minorities.

When evil whitey had colonies in Africa, the place was a horrible dystopia full of social development, education and infrastructure but when evil whitey left, the proud and noble Africans fixed those problems by turning their land into a wonderful place rich with civil war, death, pain, misery, poverty, urban decay, corruption, communism and oligarchs. Damn white people!

They prove that race differences are a thing. I can't find the article anymore (probably buried for good because libs don't ever want people to know) Despite looking very similar there are two distant races in Chinese. Hong Kong is the only successful part of China and they are made up of a certain Chinese race I can't remember the name of. The rest of China is made up of a mix of Hun descents. Looking back every time China was in power of Hun decent it was always a major disaster.

Battlefront is the most popular Star Wars series in gaming and Star Wars is popular with the release of the new film, of course it's easy money for EA
But with how badly they treated the release of this game, it's going to now be interesting to see the general public's reaction to the next few Star Wars titles, even fucking AssCreed Syndicate's sales suffered due to Unity's shitty launch state, so don't be surprised if the next few games do poorly as well

>>322546893
>Hong Kong is the only successful part of China

Which is why Mandarin is the most widely used form of spoken Chinese around the world for business and not Cantonese, right?

Also, Taiwan is a successful part of China, although most Taiwanese don't consider themselves chinese even though they are.

There are above average, average, and below average of every race. Its just that some races have a higher average than others. I would know, I grew up around Chinese people. And no, I'm not Chinese, I'm a European-American.

They haven't, if you look at the recent articles they talk about "estimations," "predicts" and "believes" but yet they don't source any sales numbers. And guess who's saying Battlefront sold 12 million copes, Michael FUCKING Pachter the biggest liar in video games.
http://fortune.com/2015/12/30/star-wars-video-game-sales/
http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2015/12/31/star-wars-battlefront-sales-12-million-copies-in-2015-according-to-analyst/

The only article out indicating sales is a Gamestop report showing that Battlefront undersold huge.
https://web.archive.org/web/20151204030128/http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-12-03-ea-defends-star-wars-battlefront-sales-after-gamestop-claim-launch-underperformed

EA are likely damage controlling hard and the sales were worse then expected and trying to milk more sales by using the 12 MILLION PEOPLE BOUGHT OUT GAME SO IT MUST BE GOOD! shtick. Disgusting bastards.

They're of cheap material and cheap electrical components; zero articulation means they are of cheap construction. I am literally unable to believe the cost of manufacture is more than 1/10 the retail price.

>isn't immediately beaten out by numerous cheaper products.
Literally the only reason they sold at all- besides consumers reaching beanie baby-tier retardation- is because Nintendo don't do anything fucking else with their characters.

I like the concept of force powers, light and dark being two sides of the same coin, tapping into raw emotions for power (which is dangerously close to anime's friendship/fighting spirit is power) still gets my dick wet, and Star Wars has the best bounty hunters; not even counting Meme Fett.

Wrist rockets are also cool.
Guns that overheat instead of running out of ammo. I dunno man, there's a lot of little shit I like out of Star Wars that isn't inherently tied only to the movies. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I like the expanded universe more than the shitty movies that focus on shitty characters.

Fuck man, Republic Commando (while a fairly standard FPS) got me invested more in my squad than in any movie main character.
