100% fine with him doing it but I’m not quite sure I buy his reasons and it does kinda seem like he’s making a judgment on piracy and pirates? Not that there’s anything wrong with doing so, I totally have no issue with him doing it expressly because he doesn’t want his mod used by pirates because he dislikes piracy, I…

Soooooomewhat interesting that this is coming out after the recent story about a guy hoaxing the Overwatch subreddit about a Youtuber not giving him a prize and the subreddit getting up in arms about it

hahahahah that was literally the exact point where I was like “I have no idea what they’re saying but she’s fucking owning him and it’s hilarious”

Did the exact same thing when I started, swapping Circle and R2. But then I decided to replay the original Nier which has dodge on R2 and doesn’t let you remap and I got used to it so when I started Automata up again I switched it back so dodge is on R2 haha.

Are there any save data transfers or anything involved in the series? I have the 1st on my PC and didn’t really play it, just got a Vita and would much rather play 1st/2nd on the Vita (if it’s a good port). But seems 3rd is only on PC. Is it weird to play 1st/2nd on the Vita then 3rd on PC?

100% agree. Maybe there was a better way to do it that didn’t really come off as “oh fuck we don’t have the time/money to make more” but that’s legitimately a great idea for an ending

But what does being appeased mean? Does that mean they buy IW? Does that mean they buy WW2? The fact that they’re buying WW2 is only notable if they’re not going to buy WW2 now, but I bet you that the number of people who aren’t going to buy WW2 because it wasn’t announced last year is very small

I don’t see how that actually changes anything for IW though. What is the ACTUAL benefit? Does stopping the bleeding get more people to buy IW? I don’t think so, especially because the way in which they stop the negative buzz is by pointing out the NEXT game

I guess my question is...why would it have helped? If people didn’t like the setting of Infinite Warfare, knowing that CoD 2017 would go to a setting they liked wouldn’t have made them buy Infinite Warfare.

Hell, leaving it as KKK and giving the joke a different meaning actually changes the vision of the game more than changing it to an equivalent joke.

Would westerners interpret it differently than the developers intended?

I don’t think ANY of that is intended by the developer at all though. Considering his opinion is that localization should hew as closely as possible to the developers’ original meaning, that explanation doesn’t make sense. I don’t think the Japanese developers put in a KKK sign because they thought Engrish signs in…

Don’t be tricked into thinking every change to something is censorship, or that avoiding offending people is always disengenous or “PC”. Most people actually care, and aren’t hiding offensive things they don’t want to say/show; they just genuinely don’t want to saw/show those things.

Lipschultz has long been an advocate against what he sees as censorship in localization, and he says his priority is retaining as much of Akiba’s Beat’s original meaning as possible.

I remember reading that somewhere soon after the reveal and was pretty surprised. I mean I know that Zelda is actually not that big a deal in the “casual” market and Mario is a huge deal in the “casual” market but that Zelda trailer released during the same presentation is honestly one of the best game trailers I’ve…

Well, if you read Kaine’s backstory, there actually is a reason the character chooses to wear that. Sure, it’s probably backstory made to justify the costume in the first place, but there’s a reason behind it, and it’s a lot more tragic than you’d think

lol

Loving the game, all the character design, art, almost everything so far (Arsene is definitely cooler than Orpheus/Izanagi), and love that when dungeon exploring your characters aren’t just wearing school uniforms (though Shujin uniforms are actually pretty cool)...but man is Ann’s pose in battle ridiculous. I guess…

Not really

Was announced before the Switch was even announced
