One slightly spoiler-y example:  
During the (first) war arc, at least one primary character can actually be killed depending on how well she does during a scene in which she gets swarmed by enemies on her own. If she does well enough, she “merely” takes permanent damage that renders her unable to ever fight again. Do better and she’s just out of the fight for a few days (which means you won’t have her for the final mission into the enemy’s capital to confront their emperor). Supposedly she can actually win but I could not pull that off no matter how many times I replayed the sequence.
 
More generally, choices in that game are split between in-the-moment decisions about how to handle a person or situation and economic investments that will slowly reshape the whole damn world. And some of your choices will permanently change how a character acts or even whether you can recruit them at all.

I picked the game up and it’s pretty enjoyable. Definitely worth the price IMO.

PUBG implemented a whole new anticheat system, especially on the mobile versions. Look like Bluehole is starting to listen more like they did back in the first 3 to 4 seasons of it.  

How long until Apex Legends Crossplay is ready to come out of Beta phase?

I’m still shocked that minecraft Steve made it into smash.

@Havoc  
Same

@TheGlimMaster  
he belongs, but doesn’t at the same time. EVEN GAME & WATCH LOOKS LIKE HE BELONGS ON THE ROSTER MORE!!! It’s the pixels, man. It’s surreal.

@Havoc  
Then look at this

@Havoc  
I wouldn’t want him redesigned anyway. Sure he looks weird next to super well defined characters, but the Minecraft look is insanely iconic that anything less would’ve been a disservice to Steve. At least to me anyway.

@acres  
I agree. Still looks weird.
 
@TheGlimMaster  
That is amazing.

Minecraft Steve but not Dante? I guess it might be the guns? But did Bayonetta use her guns? Or is it different?

@GuiltyGrimoire  
Its not the guns.
 
both bayo and joker have realistic guns. Dante is still in the running imo

@GuiltyGrimoire  
Given some of Bayo’s iconic attacks, I have a hard to believing they’d be more worried about the guns.

@GuiltyGrimoire  
I hope for Doomguy. He was the first real fps game, after all.

@Havoc  
Wouldn’t that honor go to BJ from Wolfenstein 3D?

@Officer Hotpants  
Yeah, but there’s no way in hell Nintendo would pick him.

@Havoc  
Yeah. Be a real shame if Smash Brothers got banned from Germany for… opposing Nazism.

@Officer Hotpants  
I know what ya mean, but the game IS rated E. That stuff would upset stupid parents.

@Havoc  
More than Bayonetta wiggling her ass? And I was referring to the time Germany banned Wolfenstein for portraying Nazism. Even though it existed for the sole purpose of killing it.

@Officer Hotpants
 

@TeamBlueplant  
Yeah. Germany is terribly ashamed of their fascist past and they’ll throw anyone who dares to acknowledge it or dissent from the state-sanctioned narrative about it into a cell.

@Officer Hotpants  
The nazi salute can land you up to 6 months in jail in Germany.

@acres  
Sadly true, yet they don’t have any punishment for doing communist salutes nor for openly associating with communist groups. How FUCKING HYPOCRITICAL! Never mind how many people in not only Russia, Central Asia, and most of the rest of Eastern Europe suffered with suppression of thought that the government found problematic or “counter-revolutionary” but also in Cambodia, Laos, and still in Cuba, North Korea, Mainland China, and Vietnam. I say either leave it all alone, or put restrictions on both. || Those who unironically believe that banning ““hate speech”” (something which is rather vague for the most part, if not entirely) will protect freedom of speech and make a country safer is either deluded, highly ignorant, or is a dishonest fucking weasel.||

so i have been having fun playing rising storm vietnam the past days
 
and there is this one dude who almost always plays US called “Lt. dan’s legs”
 
my fucking sides

@TeamBlueplant  
Is that the old game with the rocket pistol?
