  I just want a mechanic where your character slowly succumbs to PTSD and tinnitus, making them unplayable, and then you have to navigate the VA to prestige.

    Then it would turn into homelessness simulator.

  It’s so hard for tactical games to find appropriate “villain countries” now. Not that many countries are not villains, but that they’re the main target audience.

  I remember long ago, The Great Ace Attorney didn’t get localized because the creators worried its story would be seen as xenophobic, in which a Japanese immigrant unveils massive corruption in the British justice system, as well as depicting London detective Sherlock Holmes as a blundering moron.

  It did eventually come out, and it’s one of my favorites. Honestly, I think we’re overprimed for Western nations to be shown as villains in media.

    This is the first time I’m hearing about this. Is it a phoenix wright game/spinoff? And does it translate well?

      It's a prequel starring Phoenix's Japanese ancestor in the 19th century. I haven't played any of the games so I don't know how it translates. I do know that Sherlock Holmes had to be renamed Herlock Sholmes because copyright can be ridiculous.

  Infinity Ward’s new game in the storied shooter genre embraces change

  “Call of duty” and “Change” do not belong in the same sentence.

    It changed a lot.

    Last one I played was United Offensive.

    The most change they usually do is the number on the end and the price from $60 to $70 to $80 for the base game

  Is The Guardian trying to manufacture outrage?

  Didn’t The Guardian publish articles defending DICE when they did nearly the exact same thing with Battlefield V, the imagined / alternate-history (or however DICE called it after-the-fact) WWII game? They didn’t seem to have a problem with an alternate timeline war based game back then, and actually defended it.

  Why imagine a war when we have actual modern warfare. I mean, it would be weird to change the concept of call of duty to just drone warfare, but come on… It’s called modern warfare.
