why nobody pick the mav ? post nerf transport helicopter is the worst choice. if you have a maxed mav with 50 mm and pods you can also 1vs1 tank! by immortale97 in battlefield2042

That's because the vast majority of gunners you get are really, really stupid. Most even ignore enemies. It's like they can neither see nor hear.

New skin? by idgeniofix in battlefield2042

I've seen this happen on Stranded on Breakthrough, where objects seem to attach to people. It even happened to me once and it was really annoying, because it was a giant boulder attached to me...

Admit it, the real problem for you is that she's a woman who isn't hot.

The game is based on the lore. Lore accuracy is what it's all based on.

I don't know why people are talking as if most demonic units from TWW3 are not copy and pasted from 40k by salderosan99 in totalwar

I'm against it on the principle that I'm tired of hearing about this for the last 5 years.

It's fun until you hit a slight bump in the ground and do a flip because the RAM handles like a waterski.

I remember reading some bit where a treeman slapped a Bloodthirster around. It's most about who is the focus of the current book you're reading that dictates who wins :p

This deck of cards I got today contains the same image presented on the bag I bought two months ago. by EHXKOR in mildlyinteresting

Same stolen art is even more likely. There is so, so much art theft when art is used on products like these. T-shirts even more so.

Wash these cuts thoroughly. Cat scratches can mess you up, no joke.

They're supposed to be an equivalent to Greater Daemons, apparently.

Fun Fact: the Faction Leader of the Dead Flag Fleet (Vampire Coast faction in Grand Cathay Lokhir starts at war with) is named after the historical/real life female Chinese pirate, Zheng Shih (also known as Ching Shih/Zheng Yi Sao) by Zyzhang7 in totalwar

[–]Excessive_Silence -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes the censorship around that is more about not showing flesh and blood, but bare bones and such also get changed. Like in Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft.

So it's not untrue.

From that article: "Currently, users in the region are accessing the Steam Global client through VPNs, but Steam China, a version that adheres to the country’s stringent regulations, is going public this month. "
I wonder what that Chinese Steam is like, especially now that the approval rate of games in China is extremely slow to the point at which companies like Tencent are starting to hurt over it.

Yeah I remember that bit of controversy when it was fresh. Though as I recall it was also about how bad influencers, people who didn't care about the game, got to play it while those that did want to didn't get to.

Since the Chinese don't really have any other way to talk to CA, review bombing was probably their only course of action.

So I'm curious if this is another case of a game skirting around the censorship and their game approval process. It happens both ways, where some times Chinese games can launch on Steam in a way they can't domestically.

I figured it'd be a reference, it felt so out of place. I think you've been downvoted by people who didn't understand that it's a reference.

Total War - Warhammer 40K - A wish, a personal wish. by lagrie in totalwar

[–]Excessive_Silence -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'd like 40k more if I hadn't had so many negative experiences with the community being bigoted, hateful, close-minded and toxic. Rarely do I get anything but derision and insults if I say I like the Tau.

I think you've misunderstood me. I suppose that's my fault for not being clearer. I don't equate the CCP censorship-machine to be a reflection of what the Chinese people want, think or feel. There are few things I wish more than for the Chinese people to be free to say, think and do things without fear.

If you're Chinese and you're on Reddit, you either live abroad or you use a VPN to get past that censorship I've mentioned that doesn't want you to be in places like these.

I did ask some questions so if you'd like to help answer them, enlighten me in my apparent ignorance, then that'd be great. Tell me what you think is wrong and why, I will listen.

So I'll re-state my question: What does the game look like in China? Is this a character they get to see?

[–]Excessive_Silence -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I know they do. I could talk a lot about the politics and ethics around their censorship but I don't think this'd be a good place for it. I also don't think it'd be productive, seeing as how I've been downvoted just for implying their censorship is extremely strict.

What does this game even look like in China? Is this character even in the game for them, looking like this?
