This further solidifies my belief that today, more than ever before, we need to SLASH space exploration budgets and pour more money into social welfare programs. The more likely it is that every man who has ever looked at the stars and dreamed that we weren't alone was right, the angrier I get. There is nothing in space worth knowing or seeing. Just dead rocks. My life, and all the resources of humanity, are much better spent on projects on this Earth. Why, I'm furious that they even spent the money on this project... that's tax money that could have been better spent not winning the wars in the East, or not improving school test scores... or better yet, it could have been better spent on generous Federal bureacrat pensions! :cuss:
Ooh--sorry... I was channeling the Tendo City sentiment en masse for a minute there.
Put in about three hours today and I'm really loving it so far. All the missions I've played have been at least as interesting as anything in GTAIV and there's definitely a lot more variety. I also like how there's always something nearby to do, even if it's something more mundane like picking herbs or hunting. The game world just feels more alive overall. It's got a few things that frustrate me, although for some things it's just that I'm not used to way the game works quite yet.
They make a good point. In fact I've thought about this before myself. Kirby's killing countless little critters that, when you stop to think about it, aren't evil. Of course, SOME are, some really are attacking you, but most of them are sleeping bears or careless walking mushrooms. What did they do to deserve adorable wrath?
Well in my mind, in Dreamland everyone's immortal and don't feel pain. "Killing" things is just an inconvenience that makes them be reborn in spawning points across the land. It's about the only way to justify this sort of thing.
