Senran Kagura Burst Re;Newal Censored and Delayed for PS4

[Undead Wolf]

It's almost if Sony has regressed like two decades, back to the days when they were censoring stuff like the breast physics in Policenauts. I really hope some of these Japanese development studios stands up to Sony and refuses to censor their game, taking it to other platforms instead. If a game does get a censored release on PlayStation, It puts us consumers in a difficult position since it would be unfair to the developers to boycott their game based on changes Sony forced them to make. The best alternative would be just to buy these games on other platforms that have the uncensored version from now on, but it really sucks that it has come down to this.

 

I've said this before, but Sony need to grow some backbone. So what if mainstream media make a big deal out of these games like they did with Omega Labyrinth? What impact is that actually going to have? So long as the content isn't illegal they shouldn't step in, and they should say as much if asked for any statements on the matter. Censorship is cancer.

Eh, this doesn’t bother me too much.  In my opinion the intimacy mode was weird because a few of the girls that you could touch were basically children (in my eyes).

 

This isn’t a new thing though.  Intimacy features have been removed from a number of mobile games and whatnot for quite a while now.  If you ask me Sony is just keeping up with the community.

I was thinking of buying the yuragi inn game at first but now I'll pass

Your best bet is a Switch or a PC if you want to get games with full content. I'm choosing PC.

Remember this very well: this is not titty issue, the main problem here is CENSORSHIP, this could lead to other types of censorship in the future.

 

I've added a link with the petition to my signature. If you support this cause, I suggest you to do the same.

Um, I am gonna be honest with you, the petition isn't gonna change anything. Petitions are a waste of time and they don't always work. So even if the petition gets lots of signatures, it won't make a difference. Need I remind you of Get Me Off the Moon? A campaign to try to revive MegaMan Legends 3. Well, despite all the signatures, that campaign failed. So what difference will this petition make? I'm sorry, but it's not gonna make a difference whenever it succeeds in getting all the signatures or not. Petitions don't always work and I don't want to rain on your parade, but that's how I see petitions.

I'm sorry, but I prefer to fight and lose instead doing nothing. Besides, this is called "pressure". Remember what happened in Steam? well, the backslash was massive and they ended up doing a 180. So thank you for your bad vibes but I'll keep fighting.

Funny, I just started Punch Line and you can freely look up the skirt of 17 year old girl and see her pink panties but I won't be able to kiss Yagyu.

[FawltyPowers]

With 11 pages of disgust surrounding censorship in a game I've never heard about I decided to look up exactly what it is that's causing all the trouble.

 

What I saw was what looked like a young girl that you can molest. I also noticed that the game centres around young girls wearing provocative clothing that just keep spinning round while the camera centres on their tits bouncing around.

 

Wow, how adolescent and pathetic it all looked. It's no wonder gamers are stigmatised as being loners sat in their parents basements. If ever a post encapsulated this image it's this. I find this beyond embarrassing.

Yeah that's great and all but that is not the problem.

I also care 0% about muh titty games but i do however care greatly about japanese game developers not being unneccesary burdened with idiotic double checking in english by the american department of sony.

The esrb and other such rating companies should be enough for a game to get rated and the current harsher rules from sony america is pure social justice pandering.

And that shit always gets worse and worse if not stopped.

 

Gamers hated the era of the puritan christians going after games and gamers should feel the same now with the rabid farlefties from sonys california HQ.

Guys look an NPC :0

About that stupid assumption you just made, theres nothing too special and bad about liking boobs lmao and the moment you lowkey called everyone in this thread basement loners thats when you messed up and left an open door for assuming what you are :D, well the stupidness of said assumption is equally as if I say that youre an edgelord with psychopathic tendencies just because of your 2 latest played games on your list

Also if this censoring thing continues your gory games might possibly be affected too :0

Isn't it interesting how certain people, let's call them "normies", are totally okay with or even endorse censorship in games of a sexual nature, but they are adamantly opposed to censorship of any kind in the extremely violent video games they enjoy. Murdering innocent civilians? "It's just a video game, bro!". Anime boobs? "Ugh, this is sick filth and everyone who plays these games are basement-dwelling losers!". It really makes you think, doesn't it?

Wow folks, really getting that good discussion going. Calling people meme names is definitely the way to go about having a nuanced conversation about censorship and the like.

[Walt the Dog]

Considering the NPC meme is generally associated with the alt-right, it's fucking embarassing to see it being referenced on what really ought not to be a left vs. right issue and the proliferation of fighting against censorship being associated with shit like treating the Ellie kiss scene from the TLOU2 trailer as if it were the same as anime tits and calling anyone who dares to object to the content an SJW even though this kind of stuff has a history of being disturbing to plenty of people outside of that field makes me hesitant to even bother fighting against it knowing damn well I'm just gonna get grouped in with blatantly dumb shit like that.

 

Also, Steam is a hellhole that is constantly cited as a terrible storefront precisely because they give zero shits about what they have on there in any measure, even stuff that no other storefront apart from possibly Sony on a bad week would allow. Citing it as a good example of how to handle anything related to content distribution is asking to have people laugh in your face.

What conversation? There is not a single argument that can be made in favor of censorship outside of "ughhh gross pedos".

You could as well try to have a conversation with ISIS.

There's nothing of value in either of the posts I quoted from either of you, so I'm pointing out how you and Undead are making yourselves look stupid using meme terms to talk down to other people.

There is no more conversation to be had here, this thread should have probably been shut down a week or more ago as the vast majority of regulars on here aren't capable of actual critical thought about this situation and have rabbled on for half a month about how censoring gratuitous sexual content in incredibly niche games is going to kill the current largest console brand.

People get tired of reading the same stupid argument over and over. If they don't sympathize with this cause, it's cool, but here we are trying to stop a dumb policy, so their disapproval doesn't help with the discussion. You can't reason with that people, maybe meme names will do.

And so what? Its just a meme, if it was something mocking the alt right you prob would upvote me

And about the kiss scene, if they are censoring female bodies in bikinis which they shouldnt then by following the NPC logic they must apply it equally since they want to go "family friendly" the kiss scene isnt appropiate if a kid mightve been watching sony conference

I've gone over this on some level before in a previous post, but the nature of a kiss between two women is far different from having anime tits shoved in your face for people to get off to. Considering I've seen kissing in plenty of family-oriented entertainment before and the only thing different here is that the two participants are both girls instead of one being a man and the other a woman, I would say that unless you're an alt-right dipshit who thinks that being gay is a sin, it really shouldn't be offensive to anyone to the extent of wanting it out of media.

My God, this post is too funny. Oh no, not the dreaded "alt-right" as defined by ResetEra, a far left forum that shouldn't be taken seriously by anyone, yet you just unironically linked them. Now that's embarrassing. ? They call anyone to the right of Mao Zedong a Nazi.

As if using a "meme term" suddenly invalidates everything I just said. It was an insignificant part of a much larger post, and I was using it in response to a certain user labelling people who stand against this kind of censorship as being loners who live in their parents basement. You don't get to decide the "value" of my post.

 

Talk about a straw argument... I haven't seen anyone say that the backlash towards this new censorship policy is going to "kill" Sony, but we can certainly make a difference.
