Depends a lot on what you are looking for. Personally, I can't take a relationship seriously if there is no sex. So, I would argue that it does always add something. Doesn't need to be particularly explicit, but I also don't usually mind if it is..
It's what bothers me most about Brandon Sanderson's books. (not that it bothers me a lot)

Imagine thinking all versions won't be censored if Snoy gets their cum encrusted hands on it.

Or worse: Persona 6 gets to be uncensored simply because Sony allows it. No standard ruleset at all, just pure greedy agenda.

You mean like when they took the hot springs dlc out of one piece but left gal gun uncensored because big tiddy is worse than half naked sexualized little girls?

I find it absolutely hilarious that TLOU2 inadvertently signal-boosted Sony’s censorship and their hypocrisy.

It looks like Metacritic has completely purged user reviews on The Last of Us 2. There is not a single one there. But apparently you can still click a numerical value for the score. I don't know how often metacritic does this, but this is the first time I've seen it. It's a pretty blatant case of censorship if I've ever seen one.
Edit: Shortly after posting this, the reviews just magically popped back up. Weird.

At least it's now ahead of Big Rig Racing which is at 3.9/10.

At the end of the day, Metacritic are going to delete just the negative reviews, until the score hit some high number (like 8).
And this without considering any kind of difference between all the negative reviews. They are going to just delete them.
(even if in some little cases can be legitimate review)

Sony California implemented the present censorship guidelines/policy following the Hollywood #Metoo movement so their male playstation audience don't go around sexual assaulting.
And now recent #metoo accusation against Insomniac studios which is part of Sony Playstation Studios.
I don't know if this the right thread for discussing SJW/Feminist pandering by western game studios.
Following gamergate and feminist frequency videos, many western developers have instilled third wave feminist policy while developing games for western audience deliberately shoehorning female lead characters and writing them with SJW undertones. As SJW/Feminist main focus was on "Male-gaze",the new female characters are designed to detract from "Male-gaze" therefore have Lesbian Haircuts, removed/lessened female curves/walking gait and less feminine facial structures, therefore masculinized, like Mass Effect Andromeda, Dishonored 2 and its DLC, BF5, wolfenstein youngblood, gears 5 and Abby from TLOU2 and upcoming games from Housemarque and Project Athia. So it is indeed SJW pandering.
The recent Capcom's Resident Evil 3 Remake turned Jill Valentine into Doomguy-esque as shown by her lifting the heavy BFG(Rail gun) and shoving it inside Nemesis mouth a la Spider Mastermind from Doom 2016. It was as cringe as watching Chris Redfield punching a boulder in RE5. Remake Jill Valentine is now just a gender-swapped doomguy while original Resident evil 3: Nemesis Jill Valentine was more badass IMO.
Square Enix now has dedicated ethics department which caters to American SJW/feminist politics so their games don't offend Americans/Western European audience's sensibilities. The design of Project Athia and Housemarque female lead ticks the checkbox for how to design 3rd wave feminist woman for western audience. Capcom could potentially have it own ethic department equivalent if RE3:Remake is anything to go by.

Someone on Reddit did a meta-analysis on the user reviews and it turns out that the 10/10 reviews are more fake than the 0/10 reviews.It looks like Metacritic has completely purged user reviews on The Last of Us 2.

Yea. Folks who go over the top like that (such as The Quartering, Jim Sterling, etc) are just... cringe. I have more respect for those who can discuss it in a reasonably calm manner.

Not really a video about Persona 5 Royal's censorship, per se, but it is about how Japanese to English translations in games still need a lot of work.

Yikes.
What really bothers me about takes like these especially is that most '' gamer bros '' losing their minds about this stuff do NOT like Anime...
I dunno why people think that edgy gamer bros are big into Anime or like sexualized content in general.
Maybe there's a small group of them on Twitter that do, but if you actually interact with people on gaming forums most of these people think that anything sexual is '' degenerate '' and hate Anime.
It's the same thing with how people connect it to the right wing and alt righters, they're the ones writing books about why they think porn is bad and sit around calling women whores for showing cleavage and obsess to an extreme level about women on Twitch not wearing turtlenecks.
Edit: for someone who's supposed to be progressive too. She's kinda pushing negative stereotypes about people and a part of Japanese culture too.

This tweet is a cast-iron example of something this person will look back on later and think 'what was I huffing when I tweeted this out'.
To me, it's akin to the problematic viewpoint a racist grandparent might come out with but not realise it - that kind of sounded good at the time, but won't age well opinion.

Fairy Tail Panty Shots Censored on All Platforms After Day 1 Update
A day 1 update for Koei Tecmo Games’ Fairy Tail JRPG has censored panty shots on all of the female characters on all platforms.

You can say it's just some dumb panty shots but it sucks that they censored it in a patch after the games release, after they already took people's money.

Yakuza examines masculinity with care, but leaves women behind
The women of Yakuza don’t enjoy the same agency as the men

Archive Link for people who don't want to click on the above link: https://archive.is/VyuPG
American Male feminist writer along with other feminist quoted in article wants to dictate how Japanese developers make their Yakuza* game, making arguments for pushing for more American/Western SJW agenda in Japanese games.
*Yakuza are Japanese organized crime syndicates involved in smuggling drugs, extortion and trafficking woman. The video game series is a fictionalized take on Yakuza mainly focuses on inter-gangster relations aspect.

Wow, even SuperBestFriendsPlay is being infected by social justice cunts now. Disappointing.
what's extra obnoxious about this is that the fart cloud obscures the UI elements which means some pearl clutching spaz added it over the existing video to protect our delicate eyes from a butt cheek.

A serious question here. So many posters come here and talk about Japanese pride and not selling-out to American companies yada yada yada but why the fuck does Sony Japan allow SJW Americans to control this kind of crap? Where's the supposed pride in all of this? This sucks.

But all these third party censoring bits with fart clouds (new one) and those bright white streaks are countered by first party games. Nothing says sex more than two people get naked and doing doggy in LoU2, but that's a-ok.
So in a way, you can say it's balanced out. lol

Just as a general heads-up, this comparison is from a trailer for the upcoming Atelier Ryza 2. The obscured version is from the trailer uploaded to the U.S. Playstation YouTube page, but both the related Japanese and European trailers do not feature the added fog. Currently, this is the American arm of Playstation being prudish; no actual censorship has yet been confirmed.

Looking at the trailer video, the fog also appears to be over top the UI; and again, the Japanese & European trailers do not feature the same issue. The fog is only present on the trailer uploaded to the U.S. Playstation YouTube channel. As stated in my previous post, no actual censorship has been confirmed.

Games released after Sony instituted its content policy have been the the same in all regions. This doesn't mean the U.S. release won't be censored, but existing precedent suggest this is merely a censored trailer. To put things another way, it's not "highly unlikely" the U.S. release will be censored.

I know that, and that's precisely why I'm asking. How the fuck did the Jap branch let this happen?
A lot of salty folks were saying "oh, a Japanese company is proud and would never let an American company buy it yada yada yada" but the American branch of a Japanese company can become the boss and call the shots? It's hypocrisy overdrive. Commiefornia sucks.

You're asking for examples of games that weren't altered in Japan and also weren't altered in the U.S. The U.S. market was made aware of Sony's content policy by the alteration of Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal, which released in N.A. and PAL territories in January 2019. Roughly speaking, games released in Japan as of--or after--January 2019 have not seen content altered in the West, due to Sony's policy.

What does this mean? The problem is far more rooted than just mere censored contents. The Gal Gun Returns for example, would only not be released on Playstation due to their strict policy and hand-waving the already approved CERO ratings. The usual precedent would always be censored trailer = censored release, with only couple of exceptions.
See this for the Gal Gun news.
