For the PC version at least. For the 360, I get it.

True story, the line was changed to pizza hut in Europe (and the logos digitally altered), since there’s no taco bell anywhere except the US.

If I remember correctly, they weren’t exactly the same in the champion and turbo versions. Ken’s dragon punch had more range (or at least went higher) and did slightly more damage, whereas Ryu’s fireball was slightly better.

Dawn of War 3 was awful.

Germany is extremely uptight and backwards about all things related to video games because of the remnants of late 70's to mid 80's post-hippie culture here (violence is bad, guns are bad, nuclear power is Satan, etc. etc.)

Yeah the NYT guy has really freaky eyebrows.

So polite and low-key.

Oh you’re in for a treat.

I didn’t actually know The Kush is Jewish. American names are weird.

Axel’s and Max’s dash moves (uppercut for Axel, Slide for Max) were both pretty broken as you were practically invincible while doing them.

This is why I’m a commenter on a video game blog, and not a history major ;)

No, but they were overthrown by what would become communists (sooner in Russia’s case, later in the case of China.)

PUBG has lootboxes? I admit, I haven’t actually played it.

I didn’t know about the last part, cheers for the write-up.

How has that naivety been working out for you so far?

Oh I think plenty of communist societies got the “overthrow the tyrant” stage just fine (the Romanovs in Russia, the Qing Dynasty in China, etc.), it’s just that most of them became autocratic dystopias afterwards...

Add some propaganda?

What, are they gonna add some Mao posters everywhere?

Eh, the original still runs more or less fine on modern computers.
