What the hell is up with all these Europeans thinking I'm some stupid American trying to claim our system is superior. Of course the metric system is better, only a moron would prefer the imperial system.
Now that we have that out of the way, look at the KITTEN game! What the game tells you is 30m is clearly not 30m, it's far closer to 30 feet. So since you're all oh so proud of the metric system, how about you ask CCP why they've decided to r*pe it? |

lol what makes you think im European?
Even if you're not then everyone else almost certainly is. That or they have hard-ons for the metric system.
Chibi Andy wrote:and really? you people take the games stat seriously??? i've never taken the game serious enough with its stats about how many meters this is etc etc Right, because clearly I wasn't just messing around in my opening post...
And yeah, I do expect a game that takes it'self seriously to use accurate distances. |

1. Everyone but the guy who started the thread failed to actually read and comprehend the first post, and took it the wrong way. 2. It took over a page and a half for anyone to notice he spelt "metres" wrong.
Thank you for not being an idiot |

Does the world have to revolve around the imperial system of measurements rather than the metric system of measurement? No, but this thread seems to revolve around morons that can't read past the first post. |

Aighun wrote:Well, that escalated quickly. I saw this before work and was thinking something like, "Because they want to give you the impression that DUST 514 is poetry in motion, and not your average pedestrian shooter..."
But, well, I did a little experimenting by pacing of 30 feet and squinted at various things like cars and passers by and buildings while holding my hands up in front of my face to get that real FPS perspective and it seems the game is fairly accurate. 30 meters (I am a bloody yank, after all) is not very far away. 30 feet is basically right up in your face. Especially if you are standing in the street and squinting at oncoming traffic, or, well, an LAV. Do you have a 12 inch foot? o.O, lol jk. |
