In Fire Emblem, you could see the stats of both your unit and the enemy unit, do the math, before deciding whether or not to use that particular unit to attack that particular enemy. Could you do that in this game? There doesn't seem to be a lot of 'math' in the video...

"The last article" on this topic proclaimed these islands to be rightfully Japanese properties? Where and how? Here on Kotaku?

I like this article. It makes me want to give the game a try. It sounds like a genuinely enjoyable game!

Yeah, I agree that bigger screens work better with games, but is this new phone's screen that much bigger than the previous generations' to make a lot of difference? I didn't like playing games on my iphone because of the screen size, I preferred the ipad over the iphone for games. How does the new phone compare with…

I think what DaisukenojoBeto meant was, had this game been on the Wii, or the DS, or the iOS, some of that "hardcore" crowd from the Xbox360 or PS3 would likely brand it in a somewhat different light...

Absolutely we need to get rid of Harper, but why vote Green when you can vote NDP? Canada actually has a viable Left, but part of the reason why we had a majority conservative parliament was people on the left splitting their votes in 3 different ways.

My WTC comparison was about the celebrations of deaths. Or are you trying to say the celebrations of people dying are not distasteful, so long as those people are the ones who attack first?

I've never implied facts should be hidden. I just didn't like the way certain things were presented in the trailer, and the reason is probably a combination of the music and the prolonged camera shots fixated on sinking ships. It's Apple's decision to remove the game from their store, not mine.

Well, if some people chose to take a general concept in a much more restricted perspective than it needs to be, there's really not much I could do about it. Freedom of speech is a much broader philosophical concept than just a legal right protected under a country's constitution. To think what I wrote could only refer…

Oh, I didn't mean you said anything about that. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my initial reply to you. What I meant was that I felt the trailer of the game did kind of glorify one side of the war (American side) and encourage the player to celebrate the deaths on the other side (Japanese side), it did more than simply…

No, only the very first sentence in my initial comment had anything to do with the law. And even in that sentence, I wasn't talking about the law, per se. What I said was the rationale behind a specific policy was understandable, which means I could understand the reasoning and intentions behind that policy, I could…

Straw man fallacy. I never talked about the Charter in my comment, neither about how a Canadian law would be directly applicable to this game, or even to Apple's policy.

Hmm, since you did specifically mention law...which part of what I said was crap?

That begs the question: why do people crave to identify with someone who shoots (sometimes tortures) a person every 5 seconds? I think the author asks some good questions.

I think ngdxf987 might have taken a more direct view of the 'war' and the 'military' than you do. Going to war isn't just some academic concept, and the military isn't just some organization that helps people gain useful skills...they involve killing actual people. Does killing a stranger mean anything to someone in…

That's not what I meant. I was talking about how similar the rationale behind Apple's policy was to the rationale behind the restriction of hate speech, because this original article made it sound like the policy had absolutely no basis, I was just trying to say "I could understand the policy had a basis." I wasn't…

I guess you just have a problem with Apple censoring this game. I don't advocate censorship, but I guess I could see where that particular policy is coming from.

That's quite a leap in logic there... I've never said anything about "rewriting history" or anything like that.

Since I've never actually said anything about how free speech works in our country, I'm curious: how do you think I think it works?

I won't. And just to be clear, I was just voicing my personal feelings about something like this, it's never my intention to imply it should be illegal.
