Videogames with extreme or controversial content will often be altered for release in certain countries, usually to comply with local laws or prevent cultural misunderstandings.
The usually self-appointed leader of a region with totalitarian control. Usually will come into power through violence and will stay in power until he dies or is killed.
Some games feature a system where a character near death can be dazed into a 'down but not out' state; while their allies can often revive them if they reach the downed character quickly enough, their enemies can perform special, frequently gruesome, execution attacks against such characters.
The Korean War was a war between the Republic of Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (South and North Korea respectively). It had active participation from the United States, China, and the Soviet Union.
Optional Censorship gives one the ability to remove or obscure content that is possibly offensive or objectionable.
Poking fun at a specific existing work, whether a game, a movie, or something else, by imitating and exaggerating its characteristics. Some games use parody here and there, while others are entirely parodic.
Satire is a form of humor that ridicules aspects of real-world society and culture, usually making a serious but indirect point about the subject that the player is allowed to infer. Games such as Metal Gear, EarthBound, Grand Theft Auto, and Fallout, for example, satirize American culture.
A gameplay mechanic where the player must make narrative decisions or dialogue choices in real-time, within a certain time limit, with their choice (or lack thereof) affecting the plot. Timed decisions are essentially a form of QTEs (quick-time events), but differ in the sense that they affect the narrative outcome.
Anguish of body or mind. Can be used by authority figures to extract sensitive information that would not be given under normal circumstances.
