"The problem is that people call outfit changes, adjusted dialogue and design tweaks 'censorship'. The touching / petting social aspect of Fire Emblem Fates (as an example) has not been entirely removed - the mechanic has simply been adjusted for different territories. You can still invite characters into your quarters to socialise and benefit from improved relationships as required, you're just limited to semi-flirty touching with your in-game hubby. That's localisation, not censorship."
I'm sorry how is this not censoring? Fatal frame is M rated and the costumes would have been perfectly compliant with ESRB/PEGI rating as such, Head pats as terrifying as they are would at most fall under suggestive themes which is acceptable in a T rated game by the ESRB. This is absolutely censorship someone deemed this unacceptable for others and altered/molested it till they deemed it acceptable.
Localisation is replacing jokes that would completely go over an audiences head as they lack the context to understand them, not picking out things you dislike and removing them. Arguing something isn't censored because some of it is still there seems like a really dumb argument.
At this point I'm just sort of tired and know I'll not bother buying an NX, I can't support censorship and only will only not penalize it if it's to be compliant with the ESRB.
I mean damn people say they want representation and then get mad when it isn't their vision and others get mad when it isn't there how does a person win this insane game outside not playing at all?
Honestly I think the tech would have been pretty crummy and expensive that far back, I mean google the hyper scan system and that thing came out in 2006...
The one thing europe always seems to do better is box art, resident evil 4 being a good example. I mean north america some how has an emphasis on showing off the main character usually with a grimace, kirby is a good example of that.
Honestly I'm a little steamed from all the censorship and translations with doge memes and crap I'm probably going to wait a few years at the least before considering another nintendo console.
I would buy it at $30 physically, but to be honest here I think these guys have got very little coverage on this title this is the only site I've read about it on.
I saw lots of really scummy people mad at her existence so hey I'm all for her being playable in whatever form, although I would still like a shiek spin off at some point.
What size is the usb even? Looks cool but bulky, I'll stick with my standard edition copy I got off amazon for $15.86 for reasons I don't fully know or understand.
Yeah at this point I can't really expect much else when butchers like 8-4 are doing the translation, I think this will be my last Nintendo generation unless the next is region free so I can have games as they are rather than how other people think i should be allowed to have them.
