NEWS: Idea Factory Discusses Censoring in Western Monster Monpiece

I like how the argument is that Japanese games aren't that violent when I just played a Japanese game where you can literally cut people open and rip out their spines for the juices.

But thier robots, so it's different.

Cyborgs, actually. but they still bleed. There's a collectible where you have to try and cut off their left hands. The game gives you bonus points for how many parts you cut stuff into.

Yakuza the extremely violent series where you bash people's heads in to walls and do other intensely violent things to people in graphic detail. But it's ok because you don't kill people.

See that is an example of hypocrisy and pro-Asian supremacy Guile, complain about how Japanese games get censored, but never complain when American games get censored in the US. Do you have a favorite American game, what if your favorite American game got heavily censored in Japan?

For your question, I would not care as I am not playing the Japanese version. If Japan cares enough about an American game being censored, they can complain and boycott it themselves if they choose to. It is not my battle to fight for them.

Though given how few American games are popular in Japan to begin with, and the ones that are are still bought regardless of any censorship that is thrust upon them, then it seems like a moot point in the end.

That is actually the exact reason. You are essentially comparing cartoon violence to realistic violence. In Yakuza you may do super moves of throwing enemies into the air and slamming them into the ground, but then they get up when the battle ends and walk off like nothing happened. It plays out essentially like a fighting game such as Street Fighter, or any RPG where monsters fade away after they are defeated. Bugs Bunny does not have the same style of violence as Saving Private Ryan does. If you can not tell the difference between the two styles, then nothing I or anyone else can say is going to change your mind. CERO is able to tell the difference between the two styles to judge which games get a D or a Z rating.

I think the difference is games like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto glorify their violence.

And again you make no arguments for your views and points. So I'm not sure why you even reply to me if you're just going to cut down the posts, ignore thier points, and just make a wild accusation.

I and others have explained why we find the pictures bad and why the "it's fictional excuse dosent work. Others who aren't you have explained why they don't agree.

I have strayed away from calling people creeps, but I've explained how easy it is to come to that conclusion. And if you botherd to read instead of being a dismissive wanker who can't even botherd to back what they are saying, you'd see I even apologized for any creep instance.

Basically, you have no intrests in talking about this, you just want to fling crap then cry about it. So just stop posting.

When J-developers see that "edits" are not a big deal in their home turf, they'd carry that thinking over when they port their games outside Japan.
