DESTINY is better than Assassin's Creed

Ah, I see what you mean. I disagree with your opinion about the 3rd game. It wasn't really bad, it was simply disappointing. The story was pretty terrible, but the gameplay and the setting had a refreshing feel to it considering previous AC games were set in Europe or the Middle East. Anyway, I'll clarify that Destiny has the potential to surpass the AC series in the far future. The thing is AC has been making releases for such a long time that it's not really a fair comparison to make, especially since the Destiny storyline is touched upon in such a shallow way. Also, I just cited the sources to point out other notable opinions and scores.
DESTINY is better than Assassin's Creed

Hhhmmm... well you do have a point on how the two are nowhere close to related, but they are both two popular games that are coming (and already came) out. In my opinion, the new Assassin's Creed game has gone down in graphics quality, but I have seen gameplay, and it does look rather interesting. I'm not saying I don't like ANY of the Assassin's Creed games, but that some of them just weren't worth playing. So, another thing I'd like to address is how you asked "How is CoD anywhere related?". Well, my answer is the gameplay. You can't exactly play the game like Halo, because it's much more realistic. You won't be able to run around with a minigun in a set of high-tech space armor and expect not to get shot at. You have to play the game as if you were actually INSIDE the story. Take paintball for instance. You don't want to get shot, because if you do, you're out. I honestly have nothing against Assassin's Creed, but the third game was just terrible. I also think it was pretty crazy how you backed that up with evidence and supports. I thought this site was only about opinions!
DESTINY is better than Assassin's Creed

I think Bungie's DESTINY is better than Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed because not only is it developed by Bungie, but Microsoft as well! DESTINY is a somewhat interesting mixture of Activision's Call of Duty franchise, Bungie's HALO, and Gearbox's Borderlands. If you have played the game yourself, you would know what the FPS MMO is like, and how much of a great mixture of multiplayer, action, and story it has. The overall game was amazing due to good graphics, story, online, and setting. Peter Dinklage's voice-acting is a little weak, but it was okay after a few updates. The game itself consists of three classes. The stealth and agile Hunter, the strong and powerful Titan, and the in-between master of void energy Warlock. With a wide variety of weapons and and gear, the characters are fully customizable. One of the few reasons players like the game. Anyway, that is why I think DESTINY is better than Assassin's Creed
Batman is the best DC comics hero

According to the Superhero Database (DB), Joker and Lex's intelligence are equal. Their strength and speed are also exactly equal. However, Joker is superior in durability, power, and combat. I assume these stats for Lex are taken by his abilities without his power suit. And if you are going to argue that this will show that it takes uneccessary power-points away from Lex, let me just remind you: Joker also has power-suits. Most villains have times when they are absolutely right, or they think that they are doing the right thing. Take Marvel's Magneto for example. I can't argue against your only-Gotham thing. But I can argue against your tragic-thing. I don't know much about Lex's origin, but Joker's is very tragic. He was a comedian that told jokes that no one would laugh at. His pregnant wife, carrying a child, dies. Then the Joker (Jack Napier, perhaps?), decides to do just one crime, to get his anger out. However, during said crime, Joker is confronted by the then-new vigilante Batman. Batman accidentally pushes Joker (as Red Hood I) into a vat of acid. This particular acid permanently stains his skin white, his hair green, and his lips red. The acid also drives him to complete insanity. If that origin isn't tragic, I don't know what is. Batgirl and Oracle are not the same person. Batgirl is currently Stephanie Brown. Oracle is Barbara Gordon. This is obviously not misleading, because your statement was false. You argue that Lois Lane is part of Superman's family. She is, but not in the way I mean. By family I mean a supporting group of other heroes that are in a not-related "Family". The Bat-Family is credited to be a real team in comics, and the Super-Team isn't. I don't believe that movie ratings can prove a characters popularity either. I was just showing that more people like Batman's movies over Superman's. This is not just about movies either. With video games, Superman hasn't had a big-console game for quite a while. Whereas Batman has had a lot and has a VERY popular series that is still running. These games are Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. But let's not forget the forthcoming games, Arkham Origins and Arkham Origins: Blackgate. No I can't find any comic book ratings. The following image has profanity in it, so I apologize. But here it is:
Batman is the best DC comics hero

My arguments have been trying to prove Superman's superiority in strength and abilities, because he IS superior in strength and abilities. But you are right, it's not all you need to be the best hero.You bring up the subject of villains first. And while there is no denying that Batman's adversaries are horrific, and gruesome. But Superman's arch nemesis, Lex Luthor, is the better villain in my opinion. Lex Luthor has better resources, is much smarter, and is very hard to distinguish as a villain at times. The Joker is obviously a villain, and it's hard to ever portray him as good. But Lex Luthor has moments where he is absolutely right. He wants to stop superman, because superman he believes will lead humans to self-reliance and they will become dumb. He sees himself as a hero, and so does most of the world. He has a much more global impact on the world than joker does, as joker really only affects Gotham, where batman takes care of him. Lex Luthor can influence the entire world. He was even elected president. Lex will do anything to take down superman, no matter what the cost. And it is tragic because of all the good he can be doing, as he is shown to be quite a genius. I give joker credit with being the more chaotic of the two. But Lex is just a more influential, multidimensional, and more tragic of a villain.You go on to talk about family, and allies of batman. Before I go on with my examples I would like to point out that Batgirl and Oracle are the same person. They are both Barbara Gordon, therefore it is somewhat misleading to lead them as two different people. Supergirl and Superboy are Superman's most prominent allies. However there is also the superman squad, which is a team of heroes set out to follow superman's example. There is also Steel, a former weapons manufacturer turned good after he finds his weapons in use by a terrorist cell. We could Lois Lane could be part of this family, as she does become superman's wife.You then argue popularity. However this is hard to distinguish. You admit Superman is a more iconic superhero, and that is true. Superman is the superhero. But then you go on to list movie ratings as evidence that Batman is the more popular of the two characters. I do not believe that movies can justify a character's popularity, as some movies are much better made than others. I will admit that currently Batman seems to be the more popular of the two heroes. But overall Superman has been more popular. Superman is a cultural icon, the image of a superhero. However to make this argument better I ask you if you know the sales of both comic books. I cannot seem to find it, and if you happen to know that would be greatly appreciated. I would like to base this popularity debate not only on recent movies, but the popularity of its comic books over the years.
Batman is the best DC comics hero

For the sake of this debate, I will only counter some of your arguments, then I will provide more reasons why Batman is the best. First of all, your arguments seem to be only trying to prove Superman's superiority in only the category of strength and abilities. These attributes are not the only ones needed to become the best hero. VILLAINS: Batman's villains are more realistic than most other DC Villains. These villains are also the most popular, and are very famous for their horror-like base. The Joker is perhaps the most insane evil-minded person in the DC Universe. Refer to the miniseries The Dark Knight Returns, where The Joker runs through a carnival, killing absolutely EVERYONE he can. FAMILY: Batman has a rather large bat-family, consisting of well-known allies such as Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Oracle, Huntress, Red Robin, Batwoman, Red Hood, Black Bat, and more. Batman can call these allies for help almost all the time, thus giving Batman more strength with all the allies he has. But with Superman, there isn't really a Super-Family. All there is is Superman, Superboy, and Supergirl. POPULARITY: Superman is arguably more well-known than Batman, but Batman has a bigger fanbase. Superman has had the following movies: Superman, Superman II, Superman III, Superman IV, Superman Returns, and Man of Steel. Batman has had the following movies: Batman: The Movie, Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises. As you can see, I am only counting movies that were released in theaters and were in color. Superman did have a movie called Superman & The Mole Men, however this doesn't count because it wasn't modern enough to be in color. Also, Batman's movies have much better overall ratings than Superman's movies do. Let's compare the Dark Knight Rises to Man of Steel: TDKR: 8.6/10. Man of Steel: 7.7/10. It is obvious from this tha people liked TDKR more. Now, we shall compare The Dark Knight to Superman Returns: The Dark Knight: 9.0/10, Superman Returns: 6.2/10. These ratings were taken from IMDB, and as you can see, Batman's two most recent movies have done far better than Superman's two most recent movies.
Batman is the best DC comics hero

I thank Con for his response. In this rebuttal, I will be mentioning Con's said abilities of Superman and counter them with something of Batman or just a plain counter against it. Superhuman Strength: This power is not one that is needed amongst heroes. From DC, many other heroes have done perfectly fine with normal strength. These heroes include Batman, Flash, All the Batgirls, Green Arrow, Nightwing, Catwoman, and many more. Invulnerability: Another ability that heroes don't need. You say that Superman has ability to resist Darkseid's Omega Beams, and that is true, however, Batman once defeated Darkseid by himself, and that image will be provided below. Batman also flipped Hulk over and sparta-kicked him in the chest in the DC vs. Marvel miniseries. That image will also be shown below. Healing: Batman's healing does not come naturally, but he has been both shot and stabbed numerous times and still recovered like a pro. Batman's butler, Alfred, is highly trained in the medical field and fixes up Bruce every time he is injured. Even sometimes, Batman can fix himself up with his own medical skills and tools. Flying: Batman cannot LITERALLY fly, but his bat-wing-like cape allows him to glide long distances. His grapple gun can reach so far away that it is like he is flying. Superhuman Speed: This is also not a necessary power for a hero. For Batman has been very successful with only normal human speed. Plus, the Flash, the most well-known super speedster, is afraid of Batman. That image will also be provided. Sorry for the image overload. Lol. X-Ray vision: It does not matter how "cool" it is. What matters is how good it is in combat and how good its uses are. And last time I checked, seeing your opponent as a skeleton with no clothes on isn't all that useful. Superhuman Intelligence: I don't remember seeing any instance of Superman showing higher intelligence than Bats. You say that in sunlight his brain can work faster than a supercomputer. Batman HAS supercomputers. Perfect Memory: I don't remember this being displayed for Superman either. However, Batman indeed has a great memory. Refer to his memories of the night his parents were murdered. Plus, his memory doesn't matter if he forgets something. If he does, he can just find the enemy or the location with his Supercomputers or his Tracers. Heat Vision: This is not necessary, either. Batman has grenades and explosives that can work just as well, if not better, than Superman's heat vision. Superhuman Breath: These same abilities can be used by Batman's Rebreather and his Ice-Arangs or whatever they're called. Superhuman Hearing: Excellent hearing does not matter for Batman. He has the computers and tracers to track every movement a target makes. Superhuman Vision: This also doesn't matter. Again, Batman has the computers that can be used to find the weaknesses in nearly any enemy. Master Combatant: Are you kidding me? Batman beat Darkseid by himself and freaking flipped the Hulk over. As you can see the Dark Knight's abilities are equal, if not greater to Superman's. Batman pwns Darkseid. Batman pwns The Hulk Flash is afraid of Batman.
Batman is the best DC comics hero

I thank you for your response, and I will begin my own. Origin: I think we should start with Superman. Batman lost his parents, but Superman also lost his parents, AND his entire home planet. He then is found by Martha and Johnathan Kent. They name him Clark Kent, he eventually discovers his powers, and he decides to use them for good. Now let's look at his powers and abilities: Superhuman strength: He can lift virtually anything, has been shown to move planets, and if I remember correctly he was able to punch a hole through the time dimension to travel into the future. It is generally accepted that he is the strongest being the the DC universe when he has been fueled by the sun. Invulnerability: Superman is able to withstand extreme temperatures (as in he entered the freaking sun and wasn't harmed) and also withstood Darkseid's omega beams. He also has an extremely slow aging process, which can be slowed down even more by used the sun's energy. Healing: Superman has been shown to be able to heal himself when it comes to most things. His healing power is increased in the sun. Flying: He has the ability to defy Earth's gravity and fly. The explanation for this is that he has anti-gravity organs. Superhuman speed: He can run, fly, and react faster than a speeding bullet. His running speed has been shown to be on par with Flash, and has been able to move through space faster than light. This would make him the fastest superhero. X-ray vision: I don't believe I need to explain how cool this is. Superhuman intelligence: Superman has beyond genius levels of intelligence, which may in fact make him smarter than Batman. In sunlight his brain can work faster than a supercomputer. Perfect memory: Simply he can just remember everything. Heat vision: He is able to disintegrate a person by using said heat vision, as it produces a high energy beam that superman can control very well. He is also able to use it as Clark Kent, since it is invisible. Superhuman breath: He is able to inhale and exhale extreme amounts of air. In one story Superman couldn't touch the ground, as doing so would cause explosive orbs would come from the ground endangering everyone around him. His solution was to constantly exhale from his nose so he could be millimeters off the ground at all times. This same breath can also be used to freeze enemies, as it can be cooled down very much. Superhuman hearing: He can hear more frequencies, and can hear at far greater distances. Superhuman vision: He can see wavelengths humans can't see, he can see much farther than humans. Master Combatant: This one is somewhat debatable, as he doesn't have combat prowess in every comic. However he has been shown to have it in certain comics. Even Batman admits that if Superman didn't go easy on them, he could destroy them all. Here is a source of all his superpowers: http://en.wikipedia.org... And his origin story: http://en.wikipedia.org... As you can see Superman's abilities are far greater than the Dark Knight.
Batman is the best DC comics hero

ORIGIN. Batman has a more in-depth story than most DC heroes do. His parents were killed when he was a young boy, so he swears to avenge them by training in martial arts with some of the best martial artists in the world.TOOLS. Batman has enough tools to do practically anything. Let's look at the contents of his utility belt: Batarangs: A useful tool in combat and for long-distance damage.Grapple gun: This allows him to get to higher distances and further distances.Cryptographic Sequencer: This allows him to hack into any computer.Bolas: When thrown at the feet of an oppenent, they get wrapped up in an unbreakable cord.Handcuffs: It's quite obvious what they do.Tracers: These can track any enemy's location, meaning that no criminal is safe.Smoke Pellets: When thrown, the room becomes shrouded in smoke.Gas Pellets: Similar to the smoke ones, but release gas with special effects.Line Launcher: Provides a tightrope like line to get Batman across large gaps.Tranquilizer Gun: Shoots darts capable of knocking victims unconscious.Goo Globules: When thrown, they encase the victim in a sticky substance.Lock Pick: A pick that allows Batman to get through nearly any locked door or system.Rebreather: Allows Batman to breathe underwater or in a vaccuum.Laser: A small minituarized laser used as a cutting tool.Rotary saw: Used to cut through objects.Plastic Explosive Grenades: Used to knock down walls via strong explosions.Mines: These can blast down concrete walls.Kryptonite: Used to defend off a raging Superman. As you can see from the above things, Batman can do pretty much anything. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org...'s_utility_beltSKILLS. Batman's intellinge is a lot higher than an average adult male, and his fighting skills are among the highest in the whole DC universe. He even once beat Superman: and that was without even using any Kryptonite. MORE NEXT ROUND!!!
Monotheism came before polytheism

I was talking about Greek mythology, not necessarily Greek society. Greece was a society of diversity, and many were monotheists. I was talking about Greek mythology, such as Zeus, Artemis, etc. You don't seem to understand a hierarchy. Just because something is deemed more powerful, or is worshipped more, does not mean it is a singular, all powerful God. Nowhere in the definition of polytheism does it state all gods must be worshipped equally. Actually, while some polytheistic gods do have seperate will and desires, they can work together. In example, gods in Greek mythology were said to pick sides in wars. While some Egyptian cities may have only worshipped one god, they did not deny the gods of others and attributed polytheistic qualities such as accepting and absorbing other deities. I wasn't calling you ridiculous, so I don't see how this is a personal attack? That quote says that everyone in history has had your concept of God but denied him (which removes free will from the response of the problem of evil. Not on topic but I wanted to point that out). While some societies may have had the concept of one God that branched off into others, these singular Gods definitely do not confirm such a bold and insulting statement. It implies that all those who were not Christian were evil and dishonest.If anyone is committing a fallacy, it would be you; the false dichotomy fallacy. You say there are only two possibilities, polytheism came first, or monotheism. When in actuality, there are three. Polytheism became monotheism, monotheism became polytheism, or they both originated without relation to the other. Then you state there are only two positions to make, that polytheism came first, or monotheism came first. In actuality, there are around four. Polytheism came first, monotheism came first, they both originated without relation to each other, or I don't know. I would say that I don't know for sure, which certainly isn't a concession on my part.
Monotheism came before polytheism

In the republic of Plato book 2,he refers to "God ", not any other Greek god. This hints that even Greek religions had a concept of monotheism. Odin also has characteristics of a monotheistic God in Norse mythology R4:What separates Christianity from polytheism is that Jesus, the father, and the Holy Spirit all work as one. the other polytheistic gods do not, but have their own desires and will.not really understanding rebuttal 4. R5:that's what the evidence shows. The Egyptians once had a monotheistic concept of God. You appear to commit the fallacy of using personal attacks evidence by calling that Bible quote ridiculous.if you don't necessarily think that polytheism came before monotheism, that implies you surrender. We don't know when this happened, all we know is that based on what the evidence shows, polytheism came from monotheism.
Monotheism came before polytheism

I argue that the concept of monotheism was first and polytheism copied from it. My opening statement is that if monotheism did indeed come before polytheism, it would confirm Paul's statement in Romans 1:20-23 " 20 For since the creation of the world God"s invisible qualities"his eternal power and divine nature"have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. "
Monotheism came before polytheism

BUT IN THE MYTHOLOGY MORE GODS CAME AFTER! You had to have shown the ONLY worshipped and believed in Chaos, and THEN only the other Gods came after due to some sort of social event. Just because, at some point, they believed all the other gods came from Chaos, this doesn't mean they were monotheists!"He was speaking from his human perspective." The point was to show that they weren't always consistent, and if one entity is an all powerful God and the other is just a mortal, I don't know how they can be one in the same.I was saying that Egyptian beliefs in cities were similar to polytheism in a way that modern monotheism is not. "I would address this but because this is based on monotheism itself, i leave this for another debate." The only reason that was included was because you were claiming I was using a logical fallacy and, you know, you stated in the beginning you would confirm that Bible verse. So yeah, it is kind of on topic.I haven't done my research, but just from the quotes "cosmic Nordic Christianity" and "date back thousands of years before Christ", I'm going to call BS. Well, with the amazing power of the internet, I found a source to contradict you. Here is the important part: "Vikings influenced many changes in Europe, but the most important change occurred because of Europe's influence on Scandinavia. They went from a polytheistic society to a monotheistic society with in three centuries of the introduction of Christianity. Conversion from the old ways occurred as Scandinavians in the Viking age traveled and traded more with Western Europeans and the British Isles. Christianity had already taken a hold in Europe by the time the Vikings began trade and political relations. Little by little the Old Norse religion was replaced with Christianity, small changes would occur time from time, but finally at the start of the eleventh century Christianity dominated the old Scandinavian ways." It seems this cosmic Christianity was more influenced that inspired.In conclusion, you haven't shown that monotheism was a universal constant, that all of those monotheistic religions are of your God, nor that polytheism came after... And then branched off BACK into monotheism? Maybe it's a cycle.Sources:[1] http://www3.gettysburg.edu...;
