Absolutely disgusting imo, imagine being offended by how a fictional woman is depicted oh that's right... #MeToo. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Undead Wolf Posted May 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2019 While it sucks that I won't be able to play the sequel on my platform of choice, it being censored would have killed my interested in it anyway. I'm honestly glad to see more of these games skip a PS4 release as it sends a message. Sony have made it clear that these games aren't welcome and I applaud developers/publishers for taking a stand and refusing to have their vision for the game compromised, even if it means it hurts them financially. What with Vita support coming to an end in Japan and Sony's new censorship policy, the Switch has become a bastion for these types of games, and I'm coming around to the idea of getting one. I don't want to miss out on this stuff just because some higher ups at Sony find this stuff objectionable. Seriously, fuck them. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s pointless but the switch not having a neat little achievement system like trophies is like the one thing I want and it would make me switch from ps to switch completely 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Masamune Posted May 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2019 Son of a- this is exactly what I was worried about when all this censorship crap started! ? This is complete bullshit, I was really looking forward to Mary Skelter 2 too... I have a feeling I'm going to be getting a Switch because of this shit. ? I've always been a Sony loyalist, but if this keeps up & all my favorite developers start making Nintendo exclusives... I just don't see the point in staying with them. Why Sony is pandering to a small minority of people who probably don't even play their game in the first place is beyond me, there's no way this can be helping them.

I'm way too invested in the trophy/achievement metagame to stop completely and move back to a console without them now, but Nintendo implementing their own system would make the Switch a no-brainer purchase for me. But even without a trophy/achievement system of their own, I could see the Switch becoming my secondary platform that I'll whip out whenever I want to play new Japanese releases. 18 minutes ago, HuntingFever said: May feelings in a nutshell^.

I'm still holding out hope that Sony come to their senses and reverse their dumb decision, but the longer this goes on, the worse it gets both in terms of Sony's reputation with Japanese developers and with the fans of those games. Even if this censorship policy disappeared tomorrow, the damage has already been done. We have dozens of butchered games now with more that may never see a PlayStation release at all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, guess all one can do is make your voice heard with your wallets and maybe, just maybe, they'll reconsider. It works more often than you'd think.

Unknown_v2_0 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Probably an unpopular opinion on a PS site but Switch is just getting better games in general at this point, at least for me ( 2D platformers and JRPGs are some of my favorite genres and i don't really care much for most big AAA/FPS games) not only is PS not getting many of the games such as this but things like messenger and hollow knight go to Switch first, they get cuphead and exclusives such as pokemon and smash. I think only things that PS has that Switch doesn't is KHIII since i don't think Switch could run it. But i feel like Switch will get the other KH games and the new persona is going to switch.....wouldn't be surprised if the others go there too. I think the PS is the better console like even controller feel and such but game selection is much better on Switch... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy Japanese games really, so I'm not really impacted, but I can understand the frustration. 4 minutes ago, MrUnknown625 said: Probably an unpopular opinion on a PS site but Switch is just getting better games in general at this point, at least for me ( 2D platformers and JRPGs are some of my favorite genres and i don't really care much for most big AAA/FPS games) not only is PS not getting many of the games such as this but things like messenger and hollow knight go to Switch first, they get cuphead and exclusives such as pokemon and smash.

I thought the P5 musou (sorry if I spelled that wrong) was going, but P5 hasn't been officially confirmed yet. However, probably just a matter of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Switch's lack of one helped me get back into gaming just to game, not to complete some inane and pointless digital achievement list. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadiantFlamberge Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) So glad they didn't bother localising this if Sony would censor it. Has Sony forgotten that not all their customers are children? MeToo should pertain to real life only, not games or other media. And what if these school shootings cause Sony to go after violence next? MK12 on the next Xbox, Nintendo Switch 2, & PC but not at all on PS5. Some other fighting games would probably not get PS5 versions. FPS on PS5 would likely have no gibbing or blood. Are we going to end up with DisneyStation 5? The world doesn't revolve around just AAA/$60 releases. In fact, it's harder for the usual AAA title to get my money at launch. It needs to stand out or be forgotten, at least until the price drops. We need more FPS like Hard Reset, Bulletstorm, Doom, or Crysis that do their own thing (I've grown bored with the Call of Duty style ones for now... I haven't bought WWII & BF V. I don't plan to either). Edited May 13, 2019 by gameoverDude189 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Katt Posted May 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2019 Just remember this: MeToo movement is not at fault. It's Sony's fault for using it as an excuse, because MeToo has nothing to do with censorship. Also, I'm glad this game is not on a PS platform, I was waiting for something like this to happen and I hope more cases like this could happen later. It would be the beginning of the end of the censorship policy. I'm absolutely pleased. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex10097 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I really loved Mary Skelter Nightmares, except for the loser beta protagonist who totally missed out on his chance to start a harem, but man they really messed up poor Jack in the sequel: Man talk about taking ugly to a whole new level. I really hope that Sony will censor this image so that we don't have to see it in every battle in the game. And I seriously hate what they've done with Cinderella. Why would you take the girl with the second best body after Sleeping Beauty and turn her into a goddamn LOLI???!!!!!!!! Damn you Japan and your obsession towards lolis Seriously why would anyone want to get rid of those great legs?????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YROSHIKU Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 And I'm happy they did, because fuck $ony and their fascist censorship. Finally a developer that's said no to their retarded SJW/PC politics, I hope the rest of Japanese developers gonna do the same and move as far as they can from $ony and Censor$tation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
