| Topic | Why did they change some game titles from Japan to America? |
| ssjevot 01/09/20 3:57:16 PM #31 | darkbuster posted... Never kept too on top of my Japanese, but IIRC, it's one of those issues where gotoku has a very wide translation & kanji shenanigans. Nah. There isn't really any other word or meaning like you indicated before. I live and work in Japan in an all Japanese work environment. You could easily confirm for yourself with an online dictionary though, other than the from Buddhism there isn't anything else. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| ssjevot 01/09/20 7:14:43 AM #14 | apolloooo posted... that looks like it violate some several exclusive economic zone shorelines They don't recognize international law regarding that. Seriously, that's their actual position. Also not many people realize they don't just claim the Senkaku islands, but also claim Okinawa was actually part of historical China. There were a lot of rumors they were behind many of the anti-American military movements in Okinawa and recently a high-profile politician from there admitted to taking a large bribe from a Chinese company. They've seen the way Russia can just take territories from countries that can't or won't fight back and they want in on it.

| ssjevot 01/09/20 2:30:31 AM #136 | DiScOrD tHe LuNaTiC posted... The main reason the Japanese lost at Midway was because the US Navy could decode their ship-to-ship communications. It's part of their terrible deployment strategy. Their strategy was bad, didn't get executed correctly and was decoded. Literally the worst possible combination. Who puts your carriers and escort ships in separate battle groups? Their strategy was overly complicated and didn't work as planned and the US knew all about it the whole time. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| ssjevot 01/09/20 2:24:17 AM #133 | Gladius_ posted... This is true and even history has had super powers fall in battle due to overestimating their opponent, attacking at the wrong time, superior tactics etc. There are many things that can go wrong or right in battle that can change at any given moment. This is why the optimal solution is to avoid a fight if possible. Japan went from having a slight advantage early in the WWII Pacific theater to overwhelming defeat because they made a series of tactical and strategic blunders (in addition to underestimating the US). Midway being the biggest example of this. The Japanese force was superior to the American force on paper prior to Midway but basically messed up in almost every possible way before and during the battle. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

Oh do we just kind of make up our own opinions and argue like that? I assumed we were going to base it off experts' assessments. This isn't as interesting to me. :( (And for the record they don't run the South China Sea as much as they want to, Japan and Taiwan are both major players in the region and the US just ignores them and runs ships through there whenever they feel like it.) --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| ssjevot 01/05/20 9:32:33 PM #17 | pegusus123456 posted... People are talking about it on a meta level. The game itself might justify it, but the devs thought the best way to make a game about Peach was to make her overly emotional. Maybe, but she didn't use emotions in previous games she was playable in (most notably, SMB 2/USA and Smash Melee) and she hasn't used it again in games since that. It's a gimmick confined to that one game and not a defining characteristic of her gameplay. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| Topic | PS5 will reportedly have full backwards compatibility |
| ssjevot 01/04/20 3:27:36 AM #128 | I think people are ignoring the biggest hurdle here. If it works via software emulation they need to get permission from game rights holders to add it to their online store and/or make the disc work. For a number of PS1 and 2 games this isn't possible as they are stuck in legal hell. There is a reason many PS1 and 2 games never got released on game archives, yet a launch PS3 can play all of them. The hardware emulation allowed them a legal work around. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |
