i'm not going to debate with moral relativism within politics

a lot of people like to virtue signal because they think that their politics/ideas makes them 'good people'. however, 'good' is just a point of view, same with 'selfish', and what you consider be selfish, such as holding one's own family/nation closer to their heart, i may consider to be good. this is one of the big reasons that moral relativism is stupid stuff to bring into things like this, because there's never going to be a winner or even a 'right' side at this point

like red spy put it,

What he's trying to say is that Nationalism is putting yourself above others. It's not saying "i want to keep my people safe" it's saying "those who aren't my people don't deserve to be safe." It's entirely centered around helping yourself and refusing to help other people whatsoever because they are not 'you'

I don't necessarily understand what moral relativism means, but i'm sure saying that others don't deserve something as much as your people do is entirely selfish and damaging, especially when your people already have more things than others.

Imagine you have a banana peel on your lawn and your neighbor has ten trash cans that someone dumped all over theirs. Most people would offer to help them automatically, since it benefits you in the sense that you now have a good relationship with that person, and it also benefits them because you just helped them clean up their lawn. Nationalism would be refusing to help because you believe your lawn is superior and want it to stay that way forever, and want their lawn to look bad so you look better. You lose nothing, your neighbor loses a lot. On the flipside, you could help them, lose very little and help them greatly.

I think this is the best idea I have heard from anyone yet jesus, I will be sure to look into this.

Thank you. Games give people a sense of happiness if the player is able to win something. Where city RPGs fall short so badly is the fact that you don't really win anything, or you don't even have to try to win anything. You sit around, farm drugs, grind, earn money, advance until there's no jobs left, nothing left to do. Then what? Just keep earning money, waste your time building new property until the server shuts down and your saved things and hard work go to waste.

If you're developing a large-scale RPG, you should introduce a difficulty curve for players, so that every time they make an advancement, things get exponentially difficult. Famous RPGs like Oblivion and Fallout do this by making enemies harder as you level up, giving you a new challenge every time and making it so that things are always going to be a challenge. This is the best recommendation I can give.

That's bullstuff because duel citizens can travel back and forth.

She's not. All travel from those 7 countries is banned, regardless of your status. If you are a US citizen and you come in from Iran, you aren't allowed to enter the US.

Nationalism is a horrible and abusive concept that expresses superiority rather than self-preservation. It's nearly impossible for someone to have nationalistic views and at the same time respect other cultures. It's a complete conflict of interest, to say 'im better than everyone else' and 'I'm just as good as everyone else' in the same sentence.

the base idea of nationalism is to protect your people/culture, borders, etc. and maybe occasionally help out others when we can (like for example if a major natural disaster happens or something along those lines) and try not to cause more problems during hard times

you can be a nationalist and still hold a respect for other cultures while wishing to uphold the preservation of your own

you just described nationalism on paper. Unfortunately, what you described rarely exists in real life. An example of wanting what's best for your country is if there was a disease ravaging the population and you were to insist that we help ourselves before others. However, we live in a time where the country is not experiencing any major problems. Any problems that do exist, i.e. Flint michigan's water crCIA, detroit's education crCIA, etc. are not being addressed currently, while problems that involve foreign events, such as syrian refugees, immigration, and israel are being blown completely out of proportion by news, media, and even the president.

For its time, Halo CE was amazing and saying it's the worst title in the series isn't saying much, considering that all four of those titles are really great games. ODST was a bit lacking and felt more like a standalone DLC, and wars was just a mess.

Halo's high point was between 3 and reach, then it began its perpetual death. I thoroughly believe that Halo has exhausted its very existence to the point where the gameplay and campaign was so good it set its own standard too high. Anything else would just be a clone or worse.

Call of duty did a similar dance where it published some of its best titles between 2007 and 2010 and then took a downward spiral. Once you nail the recipe for a great game, all you can do is go downhill.

An RPG that ends. Almost all RPGs on blockland fail due to their endlessness, making it an increment game (a game where you accumulate some quantity indefinitely until you get bored). It would be nice to see an RPG that people advance in to reach a conclusion, where it promptly ends and resets, giving a different outcome with different ways to complete it again
