@Skellington I played Metal Gear Solid 1-4 about 10 years ago. I loved them, but I'd have to play them again to comment on them.

I enjoyed the Uncharted games. I'd say the 2nd one had the best gameplay, but the 3rd one had my favourite story. I liked the theme of Father/Son like friendship between Drake and Sully.
Sorry, I forgot. The pirate themed one was the fourth.
I thought the collapse of the pirate society in Uncharted 4 was interesting. How it was meant to be a libertarian paradise, but it failed.
the uncharted games are great
the characters and dialogue are top notch, so are the action setpieces
gameplay is serviceable
i never played the 4th game
because i dont have a ps4
I was considering doing a video on why the masculine archetype of Indiana Jones or Nathan Drake is so appealing to men.
i think its funny that Nathan drake is a gender swapped Laura croft who is a gender swapped Indiana jones
but yea that would be a decent video
I've only played one of the tomb raider games. I enjoyed it.
i never played any of them
all the tomb raider reboot games are good in my opinion
@Skellington I've never actually saw the Armstrong clip. that was based
@vexmasina44 he's Tea Party Nietzsche
I haven't played the game, so I wouldn't know if he's right, but the game's based if what he says is true
spoilers

only played the first tomb raider reboot. I liked it
@Pseudo-Analysist yes lol the game predated Trump
Trump gamer confirmed
@Pseudo-Analysist I may have seen that video before. Might watch it when I have the time
Metal Gear Solid 1-4 and Peacewalker are some of the best games ever, they are basically perfect. I am almost finished 4.
@Charlemagne Agreed
@Endeavour what do you think of Oswald Spengler’s theory of cyclical history? Do you think it’s mostly true, partially true or not right at all?
@EYEFORKNOWLEDGE156 I haven't read Spengler, but I know all about the cyclical history theory. I am less sympathetic to it than I used to be. While I think the theory of civilizational decline is generally accurate, there doesn't exist a model to accurately describe it since it takes place over such long periods of time and circumstances change over that time. While I find the theory compelling, I don't like subscribing to this theory too much because it creates a deterministic vision for the future. I don't think we are destined to crash. For all we know, this could be the dark age and we could get better from here.
@Endeavour It isn't a perfect theory but I think it's pretty accurate I would highly recommend reading his book Decline of the West and looking into his theories
Actually history is a tricycle
I don't like cyclical/deterministic models
Spengler is worthwhile for pointing out various factors but attempting to fit it into a model takes away from his analysis
