They Just Didn't Care Discussion
This:
- The brutal oversimplification of the tabletop strategy game Battle Tech done by Microsoft for the Mechassault series (not to be confused with the Mech Warrior series which for the most part is pretty faithful). This included such things as force fields, a gun that shoots lava, magical glowing green piles of salvage that instantly repair damage, infinite ammo, and contact with the ground causing all mechs to explode violently
- Mech Warrior 4 also added variable-damage weaponry in the form of the Bombast laser, and claimed that the vacuum of space provided improved cooling over air.
- Small Battle Tech note. A variable-damage weapon was later added to BT, but it was not the Bombast laser.
- As of the recent core book, Tactical Operations, there are two kinds weapons that can vary damage: Bombast Lasers and any PPC with a capacitor. Not counting Ultra and Rotary Autocannons, and range-variable weapons like Heavy Gauss Rifles and Snub-nosed PPCs.
- Mechwarrior 4 takes plenty of liberties all the same. Clantech is far too abundant, especially in the Mercenaries sequel which has even backwater rebel militias armed with cutting edge Clan Omnimechs!

Pulled this out.
- Nintendo is usually known for their good localization work(the Mario And Luigi RPGs wouldn't be as awesome without the great localization they gave the series), but their localization of Metroid Other M is truly inexcusable. Awful voice acting abound, incomprehensible dialogue, and a horribly miscast Samus. But they also commit the biggest cardinal sin of any bad localization: leaving out the (vastly superior) Japanese voice track. Even Sin And Punishment Star Successor had the original voice track!
The Tekken and King of Fighters examples under Film are awfully long, are they not? They're two or three times as long as any other Film example, even without the natter.
The promotional material for the HAVOC vehicle from G.I.Joe shows a red-and-white uniformed man firing guns. This is Lifeline, an avowed pacifist who at the time would never have fired any guns.
Quite a lot of the entries here don't seem to be about production values at all, but about Adaptation Decay, Did Not Do the Research, or Executive Meddling (and the Ko F entry that I opted to remove just smacked too much of someone complaining a thing was RUINED FOREVER).
I could do more aggressive paring-down, but I'm a little worried about overreaching my authority.
I think this trope is Darth Wiki worthy. Who agree/disagrees?
