I am still against the removal of the feature since I am against Censorship overall. I have always been against Censorship even when the Censored Product looks better than the Original Product (search Azur Lane Prinz Eugen Swimsuit). I don't know why I am so stubborn against Censorship of any type. Probably because I find it very insulting that someone else is making a decision for me without my input. If I don't like a feature then I just won't use it like I did with Senran Kagura Intimacy Mode (except when required for trophies) and the Diorama feature. Either way, I am not buying this. Are there versions with English Text like a Hong Kong version? While there is an asian version, it only has chinese subtitles Edited October 13, 2018 by SnowxSakura double post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurorac Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 It's really the first time I'm considering buying a Switch. Not for that reason alone, but this is part of it. Last weekend I played through the whole night with a friend which didn't happen for a long time on Playstation. There are more and more japanese games I want to play on the Switch which don't come out on Playstation or only censored. And the problem with censoring for me is just that. I don't care about what they are censoring (naked ladies or blood or whatever) but only the fact that they are censoring. I won't stop playing on Playstation, that will never happen, but I will make more time playing on Switch (as soon as I buy one) which will leave me with less time for PS games.

HuntingFever Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 All I can say, is fuck you Sony and I'm getting a Switch if this bullshit carries on ?. I've messaged Marvelous to see if the EU version will also be butchered but if it is, then I'm cancelling my pre-order and buying the Asian version instead. Also, Marvelous and XSEED are on thin ice with me if this BS pandering carries on and will be boycotting their Western releases if things don't change. How easy is the Asian version to play if you don't know the language? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XSeed isn't pandering to Sony, they literally have to do it if they want to release the game at all and considering there's already been a significant amount of resources put into localization, it'd be a fool's errand to want to make a stand. They did what they could, which was make it known on social media that this decision wasn't up to them and entirely on Sony's end. If you want to buy the game and have the PC to run it, buy the Steam version, which is uncensored, and that way XSEED still gets support. As for Sony, post on their social media and e-mail them, nothing changes if you don't speak up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone deciding underage looking females arent appropiate to be looking at. I'm fine with that, 1000% absolutely perfectly fine with that. The only time censorship gets bought up is these Japanese games with 'mature' content, never gets bought up with gore or violence unless you live in Australia or some other country that cant handle an 18 age rating.

The point being is that censorship is a slippery slope and as the snowball rolls downhill it gets larger and larger. What might be insignificant now can become a larger issue later which is why it's best to kill it now before that can happen. Not to mention that this censorship is largely born out of ignorance of the consumer base and what they will and won't find offensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Undead Wolf Posted October 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2018 Ugh, Sony have been making all kinds of brain-dead decisions lately... What are they so scared of? The game and its contents aren't illegal so there's no good reason for them to step in like this and decide what is and isn't okay. They are pandering to people who don't even play video games.

SkyMason Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Kinda saw Sony's point with Omega Labyrinth, but this seems a bit unnecessary. Like everyone's said, everyone knows what they are getting with these games, and this - relatively speaking - is pretty tame stuff. TBH, I think it's more because these are niche titles - there are more messed up things like gore and actual full on nudity even in Sony's first party titles, this just seems gratuitous on their part.

ughrora Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Absolutely ridiculous on Sony's part. We're all humans, we can decide on our own in regards to what we want to play and what we don't want to play, what we want to see and what we don't want to see. Sony needs to get out of this mindset and just let things be. I'm a huge fan of the SK series (look at my trophy cabinet if you must). While I didn't really do much in Intimacy Mode, it's ridiculous that it was a-okay in the past games, yet now it's not. Sony of NA should take note from Sony of JP.

Caesar Clown Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 9 hours ago, majob said: Nothing to do with the adult themes and more to do with the recent "misogyny and female exploitation" culture we have going on right now. Sony's western division is headed by notoriously liberal execs, more interested in trying to look "socially conscious" than pleasing the consumer base. They singlehandedly nearly ruined the movie division and the Japanese main office has seriously considered shutting the entire branch down. No they haven't. Venom just made $80 million in North America alone in one weekend, with a sequel being greenlit almost instantly. Then there's the Miles Morales movie coming out soon, which is animated so it's guaranteed to make them nearly 100x times the movie's budget (animated films cost barely anything to make and can't fail). To top it all off, they have Marvel making them Spider-Man movies, so they get to share the profits from any Marvel film with Spider-Man in it. That means Sony pays nothing, yet gets money. There's obviously some kind of video game deal in there as well, which is why the Spider-Man game is exclusive when Sony doesn't own the game rights. As for this topic, don't worry, Sony is censoring violence as well. With the Venom sequel greenlit and featuring Carnage, you'd expect it to get an R rating. Nope, PG13. They'll be toning down one of the most violent comic characters in existence so children can watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
