      In the words of cult author James N. Frey: "Firing at each other with heavy artillery is a severe conflict, but if they stagnate on the spot instead of developing it can be rather boring."
      Just because a lot of people died in WWI it's not automatically interesting. You're stupid.

    As a somewhat casual Battlefield player, BF1 is undoubtedly my favourite in the series. They absolutely nailed the atmosphere, the campaigns though short, felt amazing to play. Graphically it still looks incredible today. The gameplay... well it was Battlefield, like I said I'm a casual player, I suck at the game.
    I'm so glad Fire Emblem never got cancelled after Awakening. I only got into the series as of Fates and have absolutely fallen in love with the series since. Without Awakening's success I may have never even remembered the series existed. (I was vaguely aware of the series early on but never played it, and then forgot about it for years until Fates caught my attention)

    I feel WW1 shooter being boring is quite relevant today. BTW and WW1 series never have big player base. Plus in experience, I get bored so quickly for these game. On the other hand, Battlefield 1 is still alive even after many years passed, along with Battlefield 4 (BTW, RIP BF3 and BFBC2, while they're not my favorite, it's still sad to see them gone).
    I love that instead of taking path like Verdun (WW1 shooter game) for more historical accuracy gameplay, BF1 made their WW1 shooter by combining Battlefield gameplay with WW1 taste, making the game unique. And it also raised historical inaccuracies in gaming, which also helped the game's sale, I guess.

Is not like thee were literal zombies rising once again to fight, or snipers going completely Metal gear Solid into the enemy's trenches, or the most famous plane fighters in the history of mankind, or desert raids, or soldiers having to survive avalanches in the Alps, or, you know, 'Thou shall not pass?

    In case you're wondering, it stood for Generic Universal Role Playing System. (I'm just explaining it, I'm not denying that it was a terrible name. Lol)

    1. i guess nintendo didn't like the game since quite too violent but did fund a little before it took rare ltd. too long to make the game - but at the end, it was worth and good thing it kind of revolutionized 1st person shooters on consoles.

    Its really the sad nature of business where they will find any way possible to not pay you what you are owned. They just like to take and take as much money as possible, but when it comes time to pay out, all of a sudden they get tight. I hope Hello dropped their insurance holder after that. I tried looking up the story, but couldnt find a continuation article that mentioned the insurance company past that.
