I’m not saying there is necessarily a reason to keep it in, as the joke just doesn’t work for the US, but it seemingly would NOT have been changed, had Acquire not been informed that it could be misinterpreted as the hate group. There’s a political underlining to this whole thing where the change was mostly made…

Going by Lipschultz’s explanation of the situation, they would not have changed it, had it not been brought up that it could be misintrepeted as the hate group.

Except that it seems clear they would have kept it, had someone not brought up that it could be misinterpreted as the hate group. This has nothing to do with people not getting the joke.

While I won’t deny that he should have gotten more information before making his decision, it doesn’t change the fact that “KKK” becoming “ACQ” was not done because it didn’t make sense, it was done because it could be misinterpreted and thus cause controversy which they would rather avoid than face head on. I mean,…

What makes you think I “want it in there so badly?”

And that’s fine, but the problem is that that was NOT the reason it was changed. It was changed for the sole reason of avoiding controversy. On the surface, yes, it can be passed off as a change that was made because it didn’t translate well, but the actual reason it was changed was not because it didn’t translate…

That’s the thing though. It was never referring to the KKK group. But rather than stick to their guns for the US version and say it out loud that it has nothing to do with the KKK, they decided to replace it outright with ACQ in order to avoid controversy.

Call of Duty: World at War was 2008. Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway and Medal of Honor: Airborne came out around the same time. Those were the last big World War II shooters. Enemy Front came out a few years ago, but it was bad from what I heard and Wolfenstein is sci-fi WWII so it doesn’t count. This is the first…

Sledgehammer Games is behind this Call of Duty and the last game they made was Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

The thing with this particular game is that it seems like it would have actually turned out fine if they just stuck with their original vision. Instead they felt they had to crank everything up to 11 because fans well exceeded the funding goal, showing they had a lot of faith in the project. Now we’ll be lucky if it…

With Call of Duty: World War II on the horizon, I’m kind of curious how they’ll handle the M1 in the game. I decided to go back and play Call of Duty: World at War, and I noticed you can reload in the middle of a clip. If I couldn’t reload, it would definitely make a difference in my play style and I kind of hope they…

Honestly, I think it may have less to do with Red Dead Redemption 2 and more to do with a possible HD remaster or even remake of Red Dead Redemption that will also find its way to PC. I swear I recall rumors that it existed and that included an image that looked like a location from Redemption, but looking a lot…

This may very well be the first Call of Duty game I buy since the original Black Ops. I just have not cared for the series much past World at War.

So, this is how I looked at the case of Kamoshia wanting to sleep with Ann and Shiho, and then the protagonist potentially sleeping with Ohya, Kawakami, and Takemi.

From what I’ve read it’s like P4 where you can date multiple girls, but there will come an event where there will be backlash.

I actually think it looks a lot better than the teaser. And it actually looks like they’re putting the PS4's power to good use.

To each their own, but I’m not a big fan of these designs. I mean, the point is proven, the story wouldn’t change if you changed the characters gender or race. Just not a fan of the designs personally.

I’ve got no objections.

I never asked for this.... okay, yeah, I totally did.

Destiny-ish? My excitement for Bioware’s new IP just died and can only be resuscitated if they make it clear that it is not a loot-athon.
