HTC future, baby! Making my next phone purchase hard!
 
That doesn't include baggage fees and things of that nature.
Yeah there is international and other fees that are not included but the flat ticket price is ridiculous.
Am I insane? Wasn't this announced a day or two ago? I remember reading about HTC and valve possibly partnering up for some VR device.

I think there were rumours or a leak a couple of days ago. you may have heard about that.

It was a leak.

I'll still pick a Xperia over the HTC, or even a Galaxy phone that's not named the S6, but this could be a game changer, if implemented right.

Apparently they want to change the popular opinion of the game being overly sexualized by locking off a huge amount of content that the devs put in the game and proudly sell.

I see some of us in the thread already but posting in here for the people who don't leave Best GAF

Been re-watching Gintama with Beloved since it starts back in April and because there's some huge revelations in the manga recently that greatly change the context of some characters overall and some early arcs, and also because it's worth watching multiple times.

Episode 50 is such a spectacular clusterfuck of randomness.

But they're the entire reason I'd actually get into DoA...

I find this hilarious but also compelling. It would definitely help the series to be a little less sexualized.

This seems kind of pointless now, since those who care probably won't care about The ban regardless and those who like that stuff probably wouldn't care either way.

It's one of those thing that kind of happened with DmC definitive addition, that people who skipped the game the first time around probably won't care about the changes made
 
The Akatsuki UNIEL struggle is real. Might try and learn Carmine as well. Yu Byakuya seems pretty cool too. So does Nanase. Yuzu... The entire cast seems pretty damn fun. I want more of this French Bread.
I just wish Akatsuki played more like an anime bullshit character, instead of an honest fighter. If he was in Street Fighter or KoF, he'd probably be fine.
or Akatsuki Blitzkampf

I'm too HR3 to help :(

I feel like he should be able to run better. I love playing as him but his terrible run keeps fucking me up.

It doesn't help that most of these bans are more complex than a lot of actual character/system bans. It's one of those games, where you decide that you're going to play it either for or regardless of the sexualization. It's really silly to think otherwise.

It's the same line of thinking that really lead to DmC heading into the direction it did because the old DMC game was too 'anime' that same year. Storm 3, an actual anime game outsold DmC with 2 months less time as well.

Or you can be someone who enjoys both the sexualization and the gameplay of the game.

This ban isn't going to to do shit. People who are going to consider the game a T&A fighter aren't going to watch the streams.

It's funny that the two fighting games, with good female representation in tourneys, DoA and Soul Calibur, are also the two that heavily market the sexualization.

I don't think you can equate Capcpom choices to reboot a franchise with community set rules about content in a game that's been out for a good while.

It's more the lie of thinking, but I think both was pointless, even if I don't think DmC is an awful game.

Also, people can enjoy both aspects of the game.
 
While we are on the topic of DoA, does anyone want to play later today? It'll be fun.

And I get my stick Tuesday! I can try again at Xrd then!
