this was probably how the whole break on through level went for bell

"I didn't choose my path. Nor am I risking my life for it" "Sephiroth, you look thin."

"Depending on what happens, I may abandon Shinra"

An old sketch of Seph done last year.

Pale and colourless, he is the sadness itself.

Hi I like all of this!!!

...Here from the Makarov rant, lol

There's something so chaotic about mw3 rb version of this man. He seems put together but also not. And I do think the writers kind of fell off with this because there's so much potential they had.

The attacks in the game seem so unplanned but almost overwhelming. It's kind of like distractions from bigger things, smaller thing gets stopped here, but bigger things don't get stopped because all the attention was on smaller things... Hope that makes sense?

And as for Ivan's little bio... I'm glad they fleshed out his character some, makes him feel more... well alive, or was, I guess. But it also gives some insight and other points that don't make sense in the long run... Because you're telling me big bad over here doesn't care for his men at all?

I mean, yeah, I guess that makes sense. Fear is a guiding hand and a weapon in the right one... but if you have just fear, nothing else. Keeping people around won't work. He's a manipulative guy, charming. If he didn't care at all or at least pretended to care, I don't think Milena (however you spell her name) or any of his men would have stuck around.

The game is good, but there's a lot of holes in the characters and the plot, not caused by bullets...

But hey, that's just my opinion, I guess... Also, hello, New Anon :)

THE POTENTIAL !!!! I yell as they drag me kicking and screaming to the padded room.

I like him. His personality, at least. Charming, smart, you wouldn't think he'd be evil based on his looks, but no, he's the worst man on earth. I just think he's blind a little. Not stupid, maybe poor planning like he says. His writing pisses me off.

I will say though, reading Ivans bio disgusted me a little. I thought he'd at least be a good /leader/ you know? His speech in the game gives you the illusion of him being a good leader, that they respect him, but he's actually just bad. Selfish...

I had a thought a while ago while playing the game. So much of the konni operators you see during the mission just seem like random people. You slaughter them as you progress through the game. Almost like Makarov knew they were disposable, like he sent them there to die just because. Unlike Graves, you know? Graves cares about his shadows, he's a good boss. That's the same impression I had of Makarov but eh. I guess he fooled me too. Makes me wonder why all those people in the Konni are in it. For the money? Surely not for the work benefits. I don't know. I think people work for him not because Makarov cares but rather for their own benefit... Why do people join Wagner?

As for the attacks... Maybe they were poorly planned. Maybe it's because of Makarov's absence. Are Ivan and Andrei not capable enough? Andrei is a team captain, has a good record. And yet, without Makarov they seem to be operate uncoordinated... Much to think about. Will I ever get my answers? No! The game will die with it's countless plot holes!

And Ivan.. poor Ivan. Brought Andrei into the Inner Circle, not knowing he'd be replaced by him. His death is still a shock to me. I feel like it was just a show of authority on Makarov's part. For shock value, to establish his dominance upon his return... Do you think Nolan regretted it? Feels bad about killing him even a little?

I'm sleep deprived and I'm going insane. Sorry, Anon. Hope this makes sense. Good to see you here also.

This is so true, and I'm always so interested in games that don't click for people. This is basically me with every Assassin's Creed game, including the ship one that everyone likes.

I also am maybe the lone person who only likes one tales game, and it's Tales of Berseria? Anyway, yeah, this is very true!!

sometimes the best piece of advice on how to enjoy a game that's not clicking is really as simple as "you just gotta get into it" and that is so stupid because it's a very thin line between that and "it is not for you"

Playing through Modern Warfare 2 (Remastered) the OG version and I'm on the No Russian mission. As usual, I fail it about 34 times because I get distracted looking at all the things in the airport, and Makarov gets mad at me :D

This is my new favorite book spotted on the shelves of the Zakhaev International Airport. What is this about? Why are they floating? We don't know, and Makarov is too impatient to let me do a quick flip through of the contents! Jerk!

Also fun fact, I got all the intel in this game so you get all the funny modifiers and such, and it disables them all in this mission. So too bad, no ragdoll physics or pineapple heads exploding with confetti in this mission. Which I get it, but also if you pay attention to the people in this mission, they're basically clones wearing different color shirts.

But the real point of this post is the seminal work on levitating a small rodent, by the estimable Marielle Dion-Robidoux. I hope she didn't give up writing books when she learned hers was featured in the bookstore at the ZIA.

Still waiting patiently for the remaster of CoD MW3 OG, so I can enjoy Makarov striding about with a cashmere sweater and a nice wool coat on an airplane that's on fire. I'm a simple woman, here!
