I'm just growing tired of a new "THIS GAME GOT CHANGED FOR THE US, CENZ0RSH1T!!!"" thread & it pretty much going the same way each time. It's a bummer when it happens (unless it's something that absolutely makes sense like the Monster Monpiece cards), but it's even more tiresome knowing what the reactions are going to be.

Same here. Thankfully, the co-workers I talk to about games don't ever bring the more serious/depressing stuff up, or with my oldest friend, we're very similar in opinions & if something like censorship comes up, it's nowhere near the discussions on Neogaf & they're not very long.


It also might be something that ive never experienced as an introverted awkward guy who also happens to be a super intimidating looking

Yeah, you can easily find me in NHLGAF along with Shin and TUSR, lolol

If I watched more Hockey i'd join, it's been tough to watch my Flyers games because of living in Wisconsin and all

Attack on booty
Sounds like a porno parody.

All I'll say is, it's silly to be offended by the part of the body that all 7 billion of us humans have, but I think it's even sillier when that's the hill you're willing to die on & there are far more "worse" things that get done to films or games.

Well there are...other ways of watching the Flyers. Let me know if you want the "secret"

Honestly dont give a shit about the Tracer stuff because if you really wanted to look at that shit, there's probably 20 source film maker films out there showing it off

The worst censorship is when they got rid of the 1.0 booty in FF14, people need to make sure we know

WE WANT OUR BOOTY BACK

Well there are...other ways of watching the Flyers. Let me know if you want the "secret"

Im aware, but I havent watched all season because the organization sucked for a couple of years, but now theyre good so maybe I'll start watching again

Im a super bandwagoner outside of football
 
I don't think I'd want to converse with a person who can muster up an 11 minute response to an ass shot being removed but I guess this dude is just preaching to the choir.

The most I could care about it for R. Mika was "That's dumb, but whatever."

Besides his affection towards ranting about every little controversy in the gaming community, he's a pretty entertaining YouTuber even if I don't agree with everything he says.
 
I don't even get the controversy with censoring Mika slapping her ass. If you want to see her slap her ass that badly, here.

Stare at the booty for hours on end, without actually playing the game like us normal folk.
I don't have SFV or a PS4 for that matter.

He seemed important during the xbox fiasco of 2013 but the moment he slandered Anita Sarkeesian I was straight-up "fuck this".

The Overwatch butt was probably the only time I stopped lurking at such a topic and decided to be like Rock from that scene in Roberta's Blood Trail of piecing everything to together then "choosing a side" in the OT thread and all I ended up doing was spark a mini-flame war....I'm never going to get involved in anything like that again even if it's such a slam dunk case.

But seriously: fuck GamerGate and all their ilk.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
R. Mika's booty is lethal.

Wasn't it confirmed the ESRB is the reason that was cut?
Again, Capcom should have just been honest. "We want the game to be T-Rated, the ESRB said the ass slap would make it M-Rated, so we had to cut it." I imagine there would have been less of a shitstorm if they said that from the start. There would still be one, but not a huge one.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Not to say Capcom shouldn't have been dancing around, but it was gonna happen either way. It would've still been a thread dedicated for that booty slap.

While I feel like that would've been silly of the ESRB, had that been the reason (because they want SF to stay T & be able to have a broader audience), I would've been more accepting if they flat-out said "look, it was the ESRB's fault." I think that's why Nintendo removed the Tharji trophy from SSB 3DS/Wii U....which is still a bit silly, but rules are rules.

Clearly concerns over western sensitivities are adding up in the Japanese games being "censored" worldwide even before release

Capcom removing the Mika butt slap in SF5
Tecmo not releasing DoAX3 in the US at all
Square Enix changing underwear in Star ocean 5

Then if you count games changed for content only for the US version

Nintendo with XCX and FEF removing boob slider, underage skimpy bikinis, and face rubbing
NISA adding a pink mist filter to games we can't talk about
Square Enix rewriting scenes in Bravely Second (though this was more because of Japanese player feedback)

I know we've had localization changes all along and maybe it's just between all this drama of GG and "SJW propaganda" that all of these issues are getting a heightened level of attention then they would in the past. I wonder if it has more to do with Japanese developers realizing that their market for console/handheld games in Japan is shrinking rapidly compared to the boom of mobile gatcha games and catering to the western masses is what is needed to ensure long term safety in the market.
 
Hmm...

Toonami GAF help me out here. Should I stick with my $200 (260 CAD) Pledge for Escaflowne or should I drop down to $175 (227 CAD)?

It's just 25 bucks, dude. Think about how much time there is until you actually get the rewards. Now, think about how many cups of coffee, fast food items and random junk you'd buy in that time. By the time you get the stuff you'd still have spent that amount of money but instead of getting some cool shit you'd just have nothing.
 
Break it down like this:

Are they remastering the music?

or

33CAD for a soundtrack you might never use.

It sounds like it is basically the same music that the original series had. Think I might drop to 175 to save money.

Well it's 33 bucks since I'm Canadian so it's more than 25 lol.

And I don't drink coffee so your argument falls apart :p
 
No reason to get the sound track, personally if the music is really that good I'd rather buy it digitally anyways
mostly because the cd drive in my laptop is busted :X

If you can see yourself listening to the music, then get it, but if you don't really remember any stand out pieces (or find the music on YouTube or whatever & nothing is standing out to you), you might as well downgrade.

I'm constantly wanting to get the Mario Kart 8 OST, but $40+ is too expensive & all the ones on eBay are the Japanese one, not the EU one which would have the track list translated. Really want to get it for my car (i.e. the one place I listen to CDs), but damn NoA never brought it here & I doubt My Nintendo will have it...Doesn't help the ONE EU version I find, the seller wants $22.50 for shipping on top of the $38.50....

Also one of these days, I need to count all the game-related OSTs/samples that I have.
 
I'm actually really surprised that kickstarter did so well.

I thought it would barely make it to its first goal to be honest.
 
Appreciate the feedback, guys. Think I will drop my pledge to 175.

You wound me, sir. It's not my fault the Canadian dollar is shit. Also, replace coffee with syrup.

I doubt you're actually Stephen Harper so no it isn't your fault. :p

And I would like to point out that not all of us hosers are like this fellow seen here.

I'm kinda glad that it did. Shows Funimation is at least trying to give Escaflowne the respect and treatment it deserves.
