damon8r351 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Looking forward to the thoughtful and mature discourse that will no doubt follow the comment about "social justice warriors" taking away another opportunity to ruin game controllers with nosebleeds. Also, if people are mad about not getting the chance to ogle underage Japanese girls in bikinis in a beach setting, let me remind everyone that Senran Kagura Estival Versus is still coming out here in the West any month now.

D-Tron Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Meh. Just release it in Jpn with English subtitles or an English audio track and let anyone who wants it import. Problem solved.There's already an Asian English sub version confirmed.I find Tecmo's recent approach to Dead or Alive in the west to be very strange. First they don't want the sexy costumes to be used in tournaments so that the game can be taken more seriously. Next they say their reason for not localizing this game is due to how women are portrayed in the gaming industry yet they are only adding to said problems in Asian territories. I don't want it to sound like I'm promoting a game about scantily clad women on the beach but the fanservice in DoA games definitely makes it... uh... stand out from others. Some of the fans like it. Tecmo choosing not localize this game based off of the opinions of people who would never buy it in the first place sounds kind of dumb to me. If Tecmo's current approach to the DoA franchise continues, I think it's just going to drive fans away from what it used to be rather than keep the old fans around and attract new ones.

Undead Wolf Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Not to be that guy, but the game is called Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, not Extreme. I didn't think Koei Tecmo were the kind to stray away from controversy. I mean wasn't Dead or Alive 5 Last Round on PC a complete mess? Not to mention that Dead or Alive has always been about the big beautiful bouncing chests. They didn't seem to care about backlash then. Well I guess the feminazis have won guys. Time to go on home.

That had nothing to do with Tecmo, that was the DOA tournament runners. They really just don't to start any shit with the oversensitive people in the west. And honestly, I could understand the butthurt a little... if it were real women being overly sexualized. But they're not. They're fictional characters. There's plenty of male fictional characters that are sexualized for women, and nobody cares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Amber__Kate Posted November 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) You watch ReviewTechUSA also? Awesome! Yeah I don't agree with SJW complaining about DOA. DOA is all about some nice TNA. People have been depicted in different ways in all media be it in literature, movies, video games etc. Just because there are women playing volleyball in bikinis doesn't mean we should get angry. It boggles my mind when there is always going to be "someone" or "some group" that has to get oversensitive about anything that might seem even mildly offensive nowadays and ruins it for everyone else with their BS propaganda. It's idiotic. Edited November 25, 2015 by WinterHitman 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redgrave Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Kind of weird that they have made sexy costumes as DLC in their other games but now they are cautious. At least you can get the subbed version, but I still think they shouldn't have to worry/care about people that get offended under everything under the sun and just send it anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonFalzar Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Tbh Why? This makes me so mad. I love playing games with female character not because I wanna jack off or Anything. It feels better it feels like a change who gives a flying asshorse if its female male alien monster WHO THE HELL CARES i play games to have fun and this ruins it alot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidson2004 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 So, they would rather complain about a game, but not about what's going on around them in everyday life? Man, talk about priorities 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dysphasic Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Really? Using those who are for social justice as an excuse? It's probably one of the many (popular) excuses for the masses who are into the whole 'oh no, those who are for [insert something that's actually a good thing but demonized by the media here] is taking away everything fun in life'. They probably have a lot of other legitimate reasons why they won't be bring this game over to the west but this excuse they're giving is likely the one that'll divert the most blame away from them. I'll probably import this game one day though. You don't really need much japanese to understand a game like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMDE Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 So, they would rather complain about a game, but not about what's going on around them in everyday life? Man, talk about priorities That's kinda the problem, they're starting to run out of big social issues to feel good about solving in their every day life, so they've to create these imaginary buggy men. The same people will damage control for the those who contribute or is the cause of the issues and problems they are claim to be fighting against in other cultures... It's the whole, "don't hit down, only hit up", mentality. etc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remilia Scarlet Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Looking forward to the thoughtful and mature discourse that will no doubt follow the comment about "social justice warriors" taking away another opportunity to ruin game controllers with nosebleeds. Also, if people are mad about not getting the chance to ogle underage Japanese girls in bikinis in a beach setting, let me remind everyone that Senran Kagura Estival Versus is still coming out here in the West any month now. Underage to Americans is not underage in Japan. Every character is legal. Also, not to be rude but this is where actually reading character bios comes in very handy.

Daniel_Shadow170 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 It's bullshit banning a game because a few old ugly/fat women get upset still buying it and i normally don't plat games but i'll make it a point to for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanzoadam Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Yeah I'm not totally suprised, though on the other hand we did get all the voting themes in the west =?Either way I have the DX version Pre-ordered on amiami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) You guys take it the wrong way. They actually did us a big favor =D Now there's no other choice but to import, thus, eliminate any possibility censorship the localized version could have. We should actually be glad Now KT does not need to waste money trying to tone down it to pass American laws. And they can work on Atelier :awesome: Looking forward to the thoughtful and mature discourse that will no doubt follow the comment about "social justice warriors" taking away another opportunity to ruin game controllers with nosebleeds. Also, if people are mad about not getting the chance to ogle underage Japanese girls in bikinis in a beach setting, let me remind everyone that Senran Kagura Estival Versus is still coming out here in the West any month now. Don't worry, we all planned to import it Also, they are all 18. Not that it matters to you Edited November 25, 2015 by Satoshi Ookami 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have to frame your defense with the statement "It's not considered illegal/weird in Japan!", you've kind have already lost the battle before it started.

grimydawg___ Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 A bunch of ugly women whining about attractive fictional characters isn't going to stop me from buying the game. Surprisingly, it's not the women complaining. It's mostly men, at least based on the Facebook groups and personal friends of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
