/v/ - Video Games

Here's the source for the claims in my earlier post:

https://videostandards.org.uk/ratingboard/featured.html

>This refusal is relevant to physical product only (disc, cartridge, etc.) Under the terms of the Video Recordings Act (1984), the VSC Rating Board is required to consider the likelihood of any game causing harm to the user and, subsequently, to wider society by the way in which the game deals with and portrays images of criminal, violent or horrific behaviour, illegal drugs and human sexual activity. The grounds for this decision are as follows: - The likely harm being caused to a viewer or potential viewer, e.g. children or young people.

>The game is explicit in its setting within a “school” environment and the majority of the characters are young girls - one child is referred to as being a “first year” student and is seen holding a teddy bear. The game clearly promotes the sexualisation of children via the sexual interaction between the game player and the female characters. The style of the game is such that it will attract an audience below the age of 18.

>There is a serious danger that impressionable people, i.e. children and young people viewing the game would conclude that the sexual activity represented normal sexual behaviour. There is a constant theme of sexual innuendo and activity throughout the game that suggests behaviour likely to normalise sexual activity towards children. As a means of reward gained by successfully navigating the game, the player has the means to sexually stimulate the female characters by using either a hand held remote device or touch screen software.

>The VSC Rating Board believes this content in a game, which would have strong appeal to non-adult players, is an issue which would be unacceptable to the majority of UK consumers and, more importantly, has the potential to be significantly harmful in terms of the social and moral development of younger people in particular.

Think Sony could've pulled funding with D3, who then pulled funding from Pqube because Sony does not want to be associated with a game that is legally child pornograhy in the UK?

>>14889925

It's textbook anarcho-tyranny. The state can't or won't police crime, so it polices innocent activity instead.

>>14889925

And that is why you kill leftists on sight.

>>14889966

The left can do nothing without cuckservatives keeping the right from acting.

Kill the traitor before the enemy.

Isn't this the video game with BE? I love BE.

Solution: make the characters Muslim. Then the sexualization of minors is not only acceptable, it would be racist NOT to allow it to be sold.

Really they should come out and state that the western release of this game is cancelled due to "cultural incompatibility" and localize it in Asia instead.

And the worst thing is that the government for the last 8 years has been the more right-wing of the two major parties.

>>14889986

There is already an Asia region release in Chinese.

I still don't understand why, out of all video games out there, the united caliphate of britbongistan decided to declare this random dungeon crawler the target of their jihad.

What makes this game so haram in particular?

>>14890075

>>14889667

Well, time to learn moon language I guess… Although now that I think about it, doesn't owning the actual untranslated Japanese release also constitute a crime? I know that some guy was arrested not too long ago because the post office looked into his packages and a bunch of comics he received were too Saucy so he's in jail now for god-knows-how-long.

>>14890075

Actual child porn production is okay if you have brown/black skin. You could rape a 3 year old in broad daylight and the mother would shut up and let you break her child apart because she's afraid of getting arrested for disturbing the peace. Lolicon? Noooooo - you're going away for a long time.

Such is life in caliphate of bongistan, brother.

>>14890674

Wasn't there was a secret Low-key video game industry freak out, due to that one developer from Silicon Knights being arrested for having loli images/games. (((Games journalist))) kept reporting on it like he had actual cp. Although to be fair that's pretty much how they treated it in Canada. Leafs are pretty much in the same situation. The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia. All countries that are ruled by feminists… I wonder if there's a coincidence?

>>14890239

>Cheats on her

>>14890016

>>14890643

What is that all about? I heard a little bit about LvB, but I never knew it was a super lewd show… Is it worth watching/reading the manga?

>>14891436

It's a standard high school comedy harem show where a mentally retarded MC doesn't realize women are interested in him unless she literally strips and says, "Fuck me." It's pretty forgettable except for that brown girl in the video.

>>14891553

Got my copy of the game while it was on sale at the turn of the year. Slow as fuck in learning moon, though.

>>14891553

We can learn moonrunes but that's only the first step of taking back control of anime localization from social justice. The EU is on the verge of literally region locking the internet. We need to either find a way into localization companies or make our own quality competition for smaller start ups and grow from there.

Localization is a bubble right now. They need an influx of competent competition to make that bubble burst and the commies will crumble. This is not a personal army request. I'm just throwing out ideas.

My goal as a game dev is to localize my own games if I can. And maybe help co-publish and localize other dev's projects once we're big enough.

If I had the cash and manpower I'd adopt OLZ and localize it exclusively for NA and tell PAL market to import and the EU to fuck off.

>>14889925

A lot of it is just hypocrisy, but also interestingly, I don't know if anyone has ever realized it but lots of old people despise videogames. Most of them don't even really know what they are, but if you ever try to strike up a conversation with them it's just like they start to see red and get really grumpy.

>>14890667

That was Chris Handey, he got caught ordering a stack of loli/beastiality doujin by an uppity retard in customs.

If he wasn't an idiot he could have walked free, but he pled guilty and told the judge he hung around playgrounds watching kids. Even after all that he got put on a sex offender list with probation because the judge didn't really know what punishment would be fitting for drawings.

That was over 10 years ago. It's ultra rare but it happens, and it's inconsistent because it's only "illegal" due to an unconstitutional law that has been killed and revived several times over. It's one of those cases where one day a rich guy will get hit and fight it hard enough for a higher court to scrap the indecency laws.

From personal experience I order tons of nip stuff, customs has inspected 3 packages of mine in over 20 years. One contained a stack of shipgirls doujin, half of them loli, along with a lewd figure of a loli bathing with her legs open and optional towels/foam parts to cover her nipples/crotch. It was re-sealed with tape saying "inspected by US customs" and a letter apologising for the delay and a bit about how random package inspections keep us (((safe))). So you have to be unlucky enough for a package to be inspected, the inspector has to be a hysterical faggot (or probably a roastie) and then you have to have complete retards from the prosecutor to the judge for enough people to care. The problem is obscenity laws are literally written as "this is a crime if someone FEELS like it is." You basically need to get hit with life's worst possible RNG to get screwed in the states. UK and Canada are more agressive and openly hostile to loli stuff but they're also incredibly inconsistent.

The weird thing about that is, in the UK, it's illegal to import a child sex doll… but it's not illegal to OWN one.

What? It came out months ago, it's been sitting on my shelf unplayed because I haven't gotten around to it yet.

>>14896232

OP is talking about the English release from Pqube.

>>14896268

Huh, I'll be honest, the remote possibility of this game getting a foreignization hadn't even crossed my mind with how fucked the West is. Seems like it's cancelled anyway, but the fact that it was even remotely considered at any point might suggest more hope for the West than I would've thought. Either way though, I would strongly suggest just learning Japanese, there's never going to be good "localizations"

>>14896297

The only way I'd ever bother learning Japanese is if I became a NEET again, this industry is so fucked across the board that I hardly play any recent releases anyway. It would be a different situation if Japan still made lots of good RPGs like they did back in the 90s and early 2000s.

>>14896326

That seems awfully optimistic considering the shitty state of most non-Japanese countries at this point, especially as regards the vidya industry.

>>14896360

Even if you're sticking with only old releases, it's not like you can get around Japanese really. If vidya is even 10% of your life, I'd say it's a necessity.

>>14896376

I have quite the backlog, including fan translated titles. My free time is so restricted right now I just can't justify burning it up to learn another language. I understand where you're coming from, though.

>>14896429

Fair enough, I know that feeling - my backlog is long enough that I've given up on finishing it before I die. Just know that it's one of those things that while it might not seem that important before you do it, after a while you'll wonder why the fuck you let yourself go without for so long.

anything new?

>>14896701

>>14896760

Only a counfounded fool, perhaps even a regressive degenerate, actually believes the things that that individual said in that clip.

There is a substantial difference between the two: one such difference is that what issues from breasts is milk; what issues from the buttocks is feces. This (and what I said before) is not to say that there's no value in a lovely woman's shapely derrière. However, it is to say that breasts should not and cannot be inferior to butts. (Anatomically speaking, breasts are above butts.) If what that clip says is true, then it is merely the embrace of primitive traits. We have evolved to improve ourselves, not to devolve. There is a reason T comes before A in the word "taste", though both are present.

I would say more, but I do not wish to derail this thread. I have long been hoping to get my hands on a translated version of this game. I am indeed in the process of teaching myself Japanese, but fluency and literacy will take years to achieve if I can't find a way to accelerate the learning process.

>>14896914

>translated

Never trust other people's translations.

>fluency and literacy will take years to achieve

True, but you hardly need perfect fluency/literacy for most vidya. Learning as you play is the way to go.

>>14896914

Well, it's not happening unless OLZ gets a PC release outside of Steam. Even then EU is in the middle of region-locking the internet. So you may as well learn Japanese if you want erotica games.

Erotica doesn't always mean porn.

To all rightist (particularly the religious/christian stripe) sexuality is HARAM.

This left right shit is childish. Your tribalism is blinding you to the true problems in the world. It's not a left/right issue. It's an extreme end of the spectrum issue. It's an authoritarian issue. It's an issue with corrupt politicians and broken systems.

Don't play the tribe game. It's what they want you to do. Divide an conquer.

>>14896921

>Never trust other people's translations.

I don't entirely, which was the primary impetus for beginning the learning process years ago. Baka-Tsuki's High School DxD group's horrible butchering of the English language in their productions, calling it "British English", and then throwing a hissy fit when confronted is just one example. There are enough throughout video games.

>True, but you hardly need perfect fluency/literacy for most vidya.

For a number of the games I've played, story-driven as they are, I can't imagine that being the case.

>Learning as you play is the way to go.

This, on the other hand, is surely one of the keys to easy learning and retention. It's just the first part that I would struggle with.

>>14896956

>Well, it's not happening unless OLZ gets a PC release outside of Steam. Even then EU is in the middle of region-locking the internet. So you may as well learn Japanese if you want erotica games.

I can still hope for a change in the situation. Perhaps an Asia English release.

>Erotica doesn't always mean porn.

Duly noted, already known. And I understand the implications therein; as long as it gets feminist panties in a twist, it's liable to be subject to their depredations.

>>14897330

"My" tribalism? Where did you come from, making such a knee-jerk assumption?

I've always thought that to have one's cognition depend on any ideology is to cripple oneself intellectually, binding oneself to an ideological crutch. I try my best to see the world as it is, not as what one ideology or another says it is; on top of that, one system of thought may have some good, rational ideas–so may that other one. Even so, that one system of thought may have some reprehensible ideas, and that other one may have just as many.

That said, no–this is not a "left/right" issue. Indeed, this does reek of authoritarianism. But you cannot reasonably deny that in recent years, the pseudo-Puritanical crusade has primarily been carried out by left-wing ideologues–in the name of "progressive", often postmodern interests and ideals. It is not a right-wing issue, but there are plenty of left-wing ideologues who would make it a left-wing one: that is, a target for all committed leftists to extirpate. Yes, it was mainly feminists–who reside almost entirely (if not entirely) on the left side of the political spectrum–that sought to suppress anything that "objectified" women, ignoring the self-objectification they preached at the same time. I could go further, but I'm sure someone else will respond to you with more examples. I also have not forgotten the condemnations of games like Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! as "Satanic" or "demonic" by Christians around the turn of the millennium.

I am not playing the "tribe game". I am indeed fiercely individualistic, but there is a time and place for everything–including working together as a group. Moreover, I do abhor weakness–and that includes the weakness of refusing to take a side for fear of appearing to engage in tribalistic thinking. Currently, there are more right-wing entities–whether individual or otherwise–that support the idea of individual freedoms than there are on the left, which seems to be largely populated by those fully intent on plunging as far leftward as possible. Finally, I treat others as I wish to be treated. I am capable of doing the same with people who think differently from me–as long as they do not act maliciously toward me. And plenty of leftists, according to their could-be tyranny of "good" will, are more than happy to visit pain upon me for thinking differently. The examples are all over the Internet. Therefore, I do not fear D/C.

The political horseshoe concept has solid merit, but playing the fence in fear of it isn't any better.

>>14897560

Okay Sargon, calm down. I know you're not Sargon. I get your point.

That said ideally if you want to enjoy games in their original context you're going to need to learn the original language because each interpretation of the language is different to a foreigner not raised on that language.

There is still a market for good localization. Unfortunately modern localization has been taken over by 4kids and Viz rejects who's audience eat nothing but shit because their audience eats nothing but shit. And these people have wormed themselves into the Funimation circlejerk clique that they are the sole gatekeepers of anime and Japanese media to the west.

I can't see an easy way out of the SJW gatekeepet problem other than for us to become part ofvthe competition by finding our own localization company and out growing and out competing them as identity politics cancer eats these companies from the inside out.

>>14897560

>For a number of the games I've played, story-driven as they are, I can't imagine that being the case.

I'm nowhere near fluent, and can read maybe 1000 kanji or so. I play games almost exclusively in Japanese at this point, including a fair number of text-heavy series like Super Robot Wars, Megami Tensei, Gyakuten Saiban/Ace Attorney, etc. I'd say I understand about 90% of what I read at this point, learning more as I go. Obviously, you need a certain base of vocab/grammar/kanji before you can use what you know to learn more by playing, but trust me, you don't need perfect fluency before you crack open your first game, you'll be using games to learn more as you go if anything.

>This, on the other hand, is surely one of the keys to easy learning and retention. It's just the first part that I would struggle with.

Definitely. Starting out is hard, but once you build up a nice base to work with, it will just get easier and easier. Motivation is the key, and games will provide that in spades.

>>14898021

Honestly at this point I'd say the better solution is to just bypass "localization" entirely and let the Western vidya/anime/manga markets collapse completely, making vidya et al. an import only thing.

>>14899383

What happens when video game content is region locked because of censorship laws and localization is the only way to import games, even digitally, because customs bans imported media?

Also once the localization bubble collapses there's still time to sow seeds for a new generation of localizers and developers who aren't Hollywood indie bay area hipsters pushing Marxism. The market for localization will still be there. Someday we will have a region-locked internet. The question is whether or not we can build trust with risque Japanese developers.

Omega Labrynth Z's case will kill future localization in the UK. I'm expecting the next Xenoblade game to be localized by Treehouse and 8-4 again because of this.

>>14899562

>What happens when video game content is region locked because of censorship laws and localization is the only way to import games, even digitally, because customs bans imported media?

Then you move out of the third world.

>>14898021

"Sargon", hm? Was it the "individualism" that evoked that? It'd not surprise me. Even though I say I am fiercely so, it is because I value my ability to think and act for myself, and be independent. Over the years, I've seen far too many who don't even try to think for themselves, not to speak of realizing that not being able to isn't good at all. They end up exploited–the US is full of such useful idiots, blind fools who provide much of the fuel for the left-wing cultural war machine. I've also met way too many people who've expected me to make sacrifice after sacrifice for the group, while the group only saw fit to spit in my face, if not drag it across concrete. But as I said there's a time for everything, I also hold a certain saying to be true: "Everything in moderation," to which I like to add, "including moderation."

As for the rest of what you said, I don't disagree at all. Another impetus for learning–a reoccurring one–is the discovery of telltale signs that these Starbucks-swilling, skinny jean-wearing hipster reprobate soyfiends are attempting to make inroads into Japanese culture. Many of them are learning Japanese; many still have already done so. For example, look at the creators of jisho.org–the Twitter of at least one features some retweets that suggest he is an SJW, or at least sympathizes. And if this is the case with someone maintaining a dictionary site even we anons recommend to each other, just imagine how many Tumblrinas are encouraging each other to visit and learn. And all this is just one example.

>>14899383

>1000 kanji

I can recognize, at least, a few kanji–but compared to 1000, it's an infinitesimal amount. And that's recognition–I don't have all the readings for even those few kanji down. That said, I don't know the actual number, and I do understand a fair number of spoken words (years of anime and games with JP voice acting, you know how that works). There are some games I have in which I do not have a choice–like MHXX, with the partial fan translation. But the sheer number of kanji there–combined with their low resolution–do make it a daunting task. I also attempt to learn from The Moon Dwellers, but that's also slow going. Much goes without being understood. And there's the issue of simply wanting to play, instead of diligently studying/analyzing kanji. None of this is to say that I'm thinking of giving up, though. I can sense gradual yet minute improvement in my understanding of the language, and know that the only way I can fail at learning Japanese is by giving up. That's not part of the plan, nor will it ever be. I suppose I'm still building that base you spoke of. I can only imagine how good it'll feel once I have something to build off of. Perhaps it'll feel the way it did when I came to understand kana, years ago–a feeling of another dimension, as it were, opening up to my sight.

>>14899666

>I can recognize, at least, a few kanji–but compared to 1000, it's an infinitesimal amount

Everyone's gotta start from somewhere. My point was more to emphasize that I'm far from literate - IIRC being literate in Japanese requires knowing approximately (it's not like they literally count every kanji you know the same as they don't count every word you know in English) 2000 or so.

>The Moon Dwellers

You are a classy man Anon - I've yet to catch up on the OG side of the equation, but SRW is pure divinity.

>And there's the issue of simply wanting to play, instead of diligently studying/analyzing kanji

Naturally. My point though is that you'll hit a point where you WILL just be playing, and only occasionally looking up a kanji or word here and there. A lot of times you won't even have to stop and look it up, since context will give you enough clues to figure out what it means.

>the only way I can fail at learning Japanese is by giving up.

Exactly.

>I can only imagine how good it'll feel once I have something to build off of. Perhaps it'll feel the way it did when I came to understand kana, years ago–a feeling of another dimension, as it were, opening up to my sight.

It's one of those things where once you get it, you'll wonder how you ever did without.

>>14899743

Forgot to write I can see it now!

>>14899743

Like I said, move out of the third world. There's no reason to settle for living in such squalor.

>>14899743

It's so painfully obvious they're using Article 13 as a test run to see how badly they can fuck up a country/entire region before people will stand up for themselves. Unfortunately, the average person needs a gun in his face before he's motivated to defend himself, so we're pretty fucked.

>>14899768

My question is can I move to the third world if I don't have experience and qualifications in a useful trade like STEM or a wealthy company to move it's HQ, even if I can understand the language? And if I can't then do I stay behind and die in my shit hole like the inferior sub-human ape I am?

>>14899785

Really hoping news gets out about Article 13 fast. Even if we can't stop it there will be enough outrage to hopefully force a coup with the EU. We have a thread if you don't mind uncle /pol/.

>>14899855

If you're a native English speaker, you can get a job as an English teacher if nothing else. Especially with the Olympics coming up in 2020, they're desperate to get more of those.

>>14899908

The nostalgia probably harkens (hurr hurr) back to that feel of when video games were real video games and anime was real anime. SRW has that in it's very soul. If you're looking to get more into the series proper, emulation of the Z series on PS2 and PSP might be a good place to look next, or of W on the DS.

>>14900012

>I've heard horror stories about English teacher in Japan being a gaijin trap.

They can be, and even when they're not out and out like they're hardly glamorous or amazing, but they're good ways to get your foot in the door if you've got nothing else going for you.

>>14900017

Here's another question about English's future? Once the USA becomes a shithole country and no longer FUCK YEAH WORLD POLICE FORCE would the Japanese want to learn English or would they rather learn Mandrin Chinese or Russain, the two other superpowers? Because I'm pretty sure once the English speaking countries become shitholes no native Japanese wants to do business with them outside of Sony selling Playstation and pozzed movies.

>>14900137

Still a shit ton of english speakers with money, it wouldn't be all at once, and probably not within a generation or two, but yeah that would eventually happen. Japanese already share several words with Chinese as far as their written language goes, not grammar though.

>>14899955

>(hurr hurr)

I saw that–not bad.

You're probably right about where that nostalgia's coming from. That music has some strange quality to it–an energetic, vivacious one, perhaps–and the music fits the games perfectly. A testament, then, to what you said.

>>14900137

Unlikely.

English isn't widely spoken because of the USA but because of the British Empire.

Infrastructure, schooling and international trade norms were so firmly established the USA was able to ride it for easy media access.

It's essentially the international lingua franca due to global habit. Since thanks to the bongs it was so widely spoken among the educated, it's the go to language for international trade/diplomacy since so many are going to know it.

Learning something else like Russian, Mandarin, esperanto would be pointless as not enough people speak any of them.

You think the French and German diplomatic teams speak French or German to each other? No they speak English.

>>14900159

I'm also not sure if my way of teaching would be compatible with the Japanese school system. I'm completely hands on when it comes to teaching and learning because I've always had trouble following instructions exactly the first time. I never was good at passive learning. I also don't know much about Japanese culture on classroom conduct.

Also guys please bare with me. I haven't even started on teaching myself Japanese yet. I know there's threads on here and it might be too late for me now without having to spend money on pozzed books. I didn't know about Article 13 region locking NATO until literally 2 days ago.

Anyway, one of the problems I have learning is that I have to learn things by doing them. Spoken language has been hard for me to learn because I literally have to try something, fail, and try again until I succeed. Maybe it's because I have this terrible habit of checking what fails first while learning rather than having to do everything right the first time. And yes I understand in business there is no more second chances anymore. You become a millionaire over night or you go bankrupt the next five years, so they say.

>>14900177

USA is going to be a Mexican speaking country soon. Trump may have his wall for 4 years, but the next president will tear it down. Where I live you have to speak Mexican Spanish fluently to get a job anywhere in town. And even if English will be around for a long time as a spoken language, will English still be the most popular literate language when the NATO shithole stops writing literature due to censorship laws and copyright tax?

>>14900250

>>14900261

>>14900298

Spanish "has" numbers, but not good total capital. Meaning, you could "make money" in Spanish markets especially in the near future, as long as it was for "less expensive/inferior goods". Cheap food services, probably, expensive video game consoles, probably not, but fuck if I know economics.

>>14900210

I don't have any specific one's but the stereotype of a "McSensei" is very strong and on average Japanese youth could not give less of a fuck about English as a language as Japan only really forces them to learn it due to American influence after WWII. Think being a High School teacher but your students don't even take you seriously and you're treated like dirt because you're a foreigner on top of that.

>>14900315

Hoh boy! I noted Mexican as Mexican Spanish in my earlier post. It's like American English vs British English. Texas just generally refers to it as Mexican. There is Tex-Mex, but that's English slang words wiggers use to get cocaine. North America right now is still mostly white. For how long? I don't know. And to the majority of the world from TV America is New York, California, Los Vegas, and cowboys shooting natives.

You're talking about Latin America right (Central America, Brazil)?

>>14900340

I hope Pqube gets permission to extend the sale. Except now I'm worried what exactly was censored in the game. I'm going to assume it's the item appraisal scenes being blanked out completely.

>>14900356

Brazil is Portuguese, although I've been told native Spanish speakers can get by there, but yes, focusing around there, not that you couldn't "include" other Spanish speaking countries for whatever you are trying to do.

Whiter than you Schlomo. I'm a burgermutt but at least it's German/Scandenavean/English. Have to work harder for that (you).

Been a while. Forgot Brazil is separate from Latin America because Portugese. Portugese, French, English, and Spanish seem to be the four cornerstones of American lozalization.

I don't think they'd remove the loli if she's an essential party member. But I could see them editing dialogue and sound to make her sound more mature.

>>14900173

Salamander Factory's stuff in general is great, both their remixes of anime music and their original tracks.

>>14900342

This probably depends where in Japan you are, but in my experience if you're a white foreigner and aren't a self-aggrandizing asshole, people tend not to look down on you. The foreigners that get looked down on (and deserve it, for that matter) are the Chinese and to a lesser extent the Koreans, because they're complete fucking shitheads with no manners or etiquette.

>>14900250

You fail to understand the why in regards to English and its popularity.

The USA is irrelevant. It's about enabling non english speakers to communicate with each other.

All it will mean in yankeedoodleland is that only the educated will know any English and those in the civil service and government will need to learn it in order to progress.

>>14902215

That's interesting. Because for a long time public schools in Texas have been wanting to lower English credits needed for graduation for a long time. They can't or else they lose government grant money. And if NATO becomes a shithole third world then would it be in the government's interest to only teach the public English and nothing else? English in Burgerland is the poor man's language because everyone knows it.

>>14902276

Plebs don't need to know it in this context. Only those dealing with foreigners.

It smoothes the wheels of international trade and diplomacy.

>>14902276

>Because for a long time public schools in Texas have been wanting to lower English credits needed for graduation for a long time

>English in Burgerland is the poor man's language because everyone knows it.

Pretty sure this is contradictory - isn't the reason Texas wants to lower the credits needed because they want more of their retarded students passing?

>>14902322

Wait, I'm lost now, what language, and in what country?

>>14902371

Texas Democrats have been trying to push for less English credits to graduate high school for a long time. Then again Texas Democrats are soy bay hipsters that moved to Austin who wanted Hillary to win instead of Dumpf. Before the soy bay hipsters Texas democrats were philibusters if cuckservatives tried to make the state Catholic instead of Protestant. This was before JFK. Now both sides are the best government (((they))) can buy.

At least Texas is still a right to work state with very few laws regarding drawn pornography. If Pqube wants they could probably move operations here and be fine with localization. So long as they avoid religious church towns and avoid Anthony Burch. Gearbox is in Texas. So is Retro Studios.

When I went to college before dropping out I had the guy who programmed the original Prince of Persia as a professor. He said I was the only student who knew in class what is and how to make a video game. I dropped out because the other courses were pozzed as shit training me to think like them.

Sage for off-topic.

>>14902371

Any country.

What language do you think the Chinese businessman uses when talking to his German counterpart?

He uses English. Same as when he talks to a Russian, a Frenchman or a Nigerian.

English is widely used in international trade and diplomacy because it's widely used in international trade and diplomacy.

Polyglots able to learn multiple languages with ease are rare and not typically inclined towards other pursuits.

Translators work but they introduce the possibility of misinterpretation. Better then for both sides to use what is to them both a second language. So diplomats, international businessmen/bankers, people who travel a lot, etc tend to learn English.

It also helps that English is the international language of aviation. All air traffic control throughout the entire world is done in English. If you're a Frenchman flying a plane into Malaysia then you and the Malaysian air traffic controller will speak to each other in English. Or at least you are legally required to.

English and Russian meanwhile are the two languages of space travel. Since almost all artificial objects in Earth orbit have English and/or Russian writing on them.

If the uk isn't allowing it to be sold physically there, why can't they just sell it in other regions? Why fuck everyone else just because of britbongs?

Also why would you be a titty game publisher based in anywhere that isn't a us state with legal loli?

>>14903405

>If the uk isn't allowing it to be sold physically there, why can't they just sell it in other regions? Why fuck everyone else just because of britbongs?

Because they are britbongs themselves.

>>14890104

it's ok, they aren't under 18, they're actualy 500 year old demi-gods.

>>14903405

Because producing and distributing potentially illegal content would still be a crime. I think they're being quiet right now because their legal team is probably looking into what changes must be made to the game so they can sell it without giving up entirely and taking a loss on the localization cost.

They should open a US branch to avoid future troubles, but I'm sure it's entirely easier/cheaper to simply avoid working on anything like this game again. I doubt these games sell in high enough numbers to justify the cost of starting a foreign branch.

Wasn't there a sequel teased at the end with the implication being the male lead was going to develop a mega dick?

Also Thank you Mega Milk Loli

>>14907555

Probably not likely. Majority of sales are domestic. So fan translations, if they haven't been Fakku'd, will be the driving of imports. And this also depends on if the publisher enacts exports bans like Toei does with anime (albeit Toei did it for localization shekels) as to not get sued by western governments for distributing interactive pornography into western states.

Thank you mega milk loli.

>>14907743

I think it'd be funnier if the male character's omega power still made him grow boobs instead of dick and there's only women's clothes to wear. He's still be straight but have to wear women's clothing against his will.

You are absolutely delusional. Liking huge pendulous cowtits is pure cuckoldry. Young, fertile girls with no children, the kind nature actually wants you to dick, have small, pert, firm breasts. The breasts are more there as a warning sign. Our caveman ancestors would see some bitch with long pendulous tits sagging down to her stomach and they'd know that shit is used goods that's been had every which way and to stay far, far away. You can still see this, if you watch any anthropological program with native tribes. Cowtits = absolutely revolting and an immediate term off, as much as a beard. If you see torpedo tits and feel the opposite, you are a sick bastard, as much as any gay. You have exchanged the natural for the unnatural in terms of attraction. Liking cowtits is cuckoldry of the highest order, since women with cowtits are typically mothers with another man's offspring. An attraction to MILFs is practically a subconscious desire to prep the bull. You should kill yourself, to be honest.

TLDR: if you are primarily sexually attracted only to women in a form they mostly only achieve after already having finished sexually reproducing, you are a cuck, you are a fuck, you are a fucking cuck.

>>14907495

>I don't believe the USA would be much better though in the current climate. Nowhere is safe.

USA would be a million times better. We have freedom of speech protections that cover games, and the government can't legally restrict their sale to anyone. PQube should move their shit out of the UK. They should have seen this coming.

>>14916855

Issue at hand is that most vidya localization companies, at least the ones still around, almost all operate out of the west coast of the US (barring 8-4, XS Games, and Ignition, who are in Japan, Jew York, and England respectively; Ignition is also owned by the looless land of India), with a large percentage directly in Commifornia, and thus likely pick up the west coast mentality, assuming the employees don't have it already. I speculate a red state might fare better at avoiding such, but then again, there's a shitload of Commiefornian expats that have been infesting other states when their own shithole gets to be too much for them, and bringing their mindset with them where they go.

Anyhow, if in theory Pqube were to open a stateside branch, or some other company of similar interests to do the same, and at least wanted to avoid the west coast, they'd probably still have to do some hard research on which state would be friendly to them. While I don't think an individual state can block release or sale of a game (ESRB rating for the entire nation, and here they'd already declared OLZ fine at an M rating for what Pqube had sent), they might be able to still effectively be able to tell a company what they can or can't work on. For example, in this case, where bongland took offense over "sexualization of children" (in addition to the "potentially harmful to young adults" thing), different states have different rulings about content that could fall under "lolicon", which I would assume not only applies to possession of, but also working with to sell. I know there's some image that was made detailing what states leaned which way on the matter, though I'm not sure how up to date it might be, assuming things haven't changed in the years since it was made.

>>14917971

>and North Carolina them

What? North Carolina is probably the best Southern state to open a tech company in. It has a large tech industry, and most importantly legal loli

>>14918370

Or was it Rhode Island? Don't quite remember which state has a block to internet porn without a license.

>>14918193

That line will become absolute when drawn loli case comes to the supreme court. I'm not looking forward to that day.

>>14918621

>Don't quite remember which state has a block to internet porn without a license.

The UK, which isn't a state.

>>14918193

>I speculate a red state might fare better at avoiding such, but then again, there's a shitload of Commiefornian expats that have been infesting other states when their own shithole gets to be too much for them, and bringing their mindset with them where they go.

Having to deal with hipster SJW fucks is an easier task than having to deal with the might of a federal government. UK has always been ground zero for censorship. Look up the video nasties ordeal. Its ingrained in their cucked culture. Freedom of speech is the main benefit the US got from splitting off from them especially after the SCOTUS asserted it for movies after the Joseph Burstyn, Inc. v. Wilson.

>Anyhow, if in theory Pqube were to open a stateside branch, or some other company of similar interests to do the same, and at least wanted to avoid the west coast, they'd probably still have to do some hard research on which state would be friendly to them.

Completely irrelevant since hardcore lolicon is not something that would be in a game released for a console in Japan. Plenty of anime (and games) have been released with far worse content than what is in this game and can be bought in all states with no problem. There's no way obscenity standards, which is something that is pretty much going away anyways due to unenforcement and refusal of juries to charge people with the crime, not to mention likely unconstitutionality, would be applied to a video game like this. It's just never going to happen.

>>14918621

>That line will become absolute when drawn loli case comes to the supreme court. I'm not looking forward to that day.

It already happened a long time ago after that law Cancer McCain tried to pass. SCOTUS declared all cartoon porn freedom of speech, barring the federal government from ever touching it. I'd also bet money obscenity laws will be the next to go or at least be seriously curtailed if such a case ever makes its away up there. If there's one thing the SCOTUS has done over the past 15 years, it's strengthen freedom of speech, and they just declared cake decoration as freedom of speech as far as I can tell. And as I said, the content in a Japanese console game would be so tame that the points you're making are completely irrelevant. A Japanese freshman carrying around a teddy bear is certainly not hardcore porn. You can buy Hollywood movies with content 20 times worse than this game that have never been challenged by a court.

UK has censorship bureaucrats. Of course, they're going to make retarded decisions. People just need to realize the UK is a lost cause until the people get so sick of this bullshit they actually force changes in their laws regarding the power of the government. Reminder, these people pay a tax to own a TV.

>>14918629

Literally not the case unless you don't choose to opt out of a 'parental controls' feature that most if not all ISPs have now which automatically blocks half of the internet for porn and another quarter for 'hate speech and violence'.

Wait a moment…

>>14918942

>Reminder, these people pay a tax to own a TV.

How does the government even know? Can't you just say "I don't own a TV" and they have to fuck off?

I literally never understood this myself either.

The police in this shithole would rather arrest people for mean tweets than to tackle the Muslim rape gangs which yes, they are in this country, raping and whoring out white girls and people fund it by buying takeaways and kebabs.

>>14918977 (checked)

Dubs don't lie, friend. The BBC remains 'ad free' (despite ads shilling their next hit propaganda movie) and television licenses pay for them directly. They're blatant with the sort of propaganda they shill and it's a real slap in the face for any Britfag who lives here.

>>14918969

The UK government is right conservative, don't tell me you think Theresa May is a socialist. They also quit the EU at the behest of investors making big bets on it that paid/will pay off handsomely.

>>14918990

>They also quit the EU at the behest of investors making big bets on it that paid/will pay off handsomely.

Did Brexit actually happen? Last I heard they were trying to pay lip service to it while still actually remaining in the EU with a "soft" Brexit, as contrasted with a "hard", or actual, Brexit, but I never heard which version won out. Is that still going on?

>>14918990

Anyone more 'right wing' than Theresa May is considered a 'extremist' and literally just as bad as ISIS in the eyes of the law. Anyone who doesn't agree with 'fundamental British values' is labeled as an extremist in the eyes of the law.

What are 'fundamental British values'? Well according to the definition given in the PREVENT program, anyone who doesn't agree with mass immigration, 'diversity' and the further Browning of Britain and Europe. Anyone who doesn't agree with a self destructive levels of tolerance to other cultures is considered an extremist.

>>14918990

So Orwelian capitalist then.

>>14919013

Fucking phone. Holy shit, that sounds as retarded after reading that a third time.

>>14919011

Yeah, it was a concept designed for when television was first a thing, essentially it was a license to be able to install in one's home a black and white or colored television. Money from this would help go towards the maintenance and development of the infrastructure that made television possible.

Now it's just a very expensive tax to help fuel the propaganda machine of the BBC, and much like debts, bills and other taxes in Britain you'd be fucked to attempt to dodge or neglect to pay them :^)

I'm surprised people still have televisions in all honesty. Anyone with a computer can stream shit from something like Netflix, and honestly there's just nothing on the tele these days… Nothing that is worth the time to watch, it's a total waste of time and anything made directly from the BBC is bound to be so blatantly gay that the fucking dim cunts who pay for a television license get doublefucked for having to do so.

>>14919027

I can see that, I have a TV purely to hook up consoles to, and that could be done with a monitor just as well really. Of course, here we don't have taxes on TVs just annoying NHK people trying to trick you into thinking we do

>>14919027

Streaming could and often is the issue actually.

Since most here aren't britbongs, to clear things up.

The t.v. licence is just for the bbc, not owning a t.v, if you where to use bbc iplayer on a pc that'd count too.

Take a look here to see how bad it is http://archive.is/OYweE

They literally have vans with scanners that detect if you've used bbc services.

That being said though, its ignored as far as i'm aware, completely in Scotland and Northern Ireland, I ain't paid it once and haven't heard shit.

>>14919071

The scanning gear only works with old analogue TVs as I recall. These days they just drive around looking to see if you have a sat dish on your house.

If you're streaming they can't prove shit.

>>14919071

Given TV is broadcast how do they prove you are actually watching the BBC? This is why numbers stations are a thing.

>>14918969

>You're either going to get Sharia or Communism next.

They're getting both.

>>14918990

>The UK government is right conservative, don't tell me you think Theresa May is a socialist.

That's like saying CNN is conservative. You're completely naive. It's called controlled opposition. You're in one of the most leftist countries in Europe right now and every freedom you have has been successfully subverted by the government.

>>14919153

From what I remember it used to be that TVs intended for sale in the UK market had to be designed to "leak" some kind of signal or something. Which could then be detected.

So they would then know you have a TV in the house.

These days they just have an arrangement with most retailers who notify them when TVs are purchased.

>>14919415

To give full clarification

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2004/692/schedule/1/made

Technically there have been a few ammendements since, although they are essentially all just increasing the cost and can be viewed http://www.legislation.gov.uk/all?title=Television%20Licence

In basically their own words http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/about/foi-legal-framework-AB16

You don't need a licence to own a t.v., but to recieve broadcasts, and it doesn't have to include the bbc which removes the main argument cucks who support it espouse

>>14919437

Not the t.v. retailers but satelite providers, which are almost always the internet providers which already comply with them for blocking online content, good thing most satellite dishes are put up by self employed guys who don't care.

You don't need one if you just use your TV to play games or watch DVDs/Blu-rays.

I bet Gust and Senran Kagura games are next on the censorship block.

>>14930765

This same director did the exact same thing with DOA5 and got BTFO by the fans and made the game sexy again. He seems like a fucking idiot who thinks getting into EVO will make his game sell well. It isn't Koei-Tecmo or even Team Ninja they put out Hyrule Warriors after DOA5. It's just this fucking idiot caving to the demands of ESPN and EVO investors for some reason.

>>14930765

Gust games these days thrive on yuri and no one would buy SK if they did that. Unlike DoA that can get away with good gameplay, that would be the death of those games.

>>14958732

Shame. Can't have high quality gameplay with decent story and good lewds anymore can we? Costs too much money because of a shitty economy. Both publishers and investors are censorcuck pussy bitches.

>>14958647

Yeah except DOA can't and the only thing they heard when they did this with DOA5 was bring sexy characters back. Then they did when the FGC passed them over because the game isn't made by Capcom. Which is exactly what will happen this time hopefully the director will get fired this time.

>>14907771

Kite sucked anyway even with all the titty and sex kept in. Mess of a story with a downer ending for no reason.

At least we'll have an update before 2019…

https://twitter.com/PQubeGames/status/1006446457199779840

>>14978488

So… I'm going to assume that the game's distribution has been postponed because the software is not ready for shipment because the UK refused ratings due to Sony requiring all Playstation software in all PAL and American regions to be rated before distribution. If the game is still slated for western release it will have to be "audited" and censored or else D3 is going to pull the deal.

Best case scenario of censorship: Loli is still a playable character but will no longer have breast expansion and cannot be used to appraise items.

Worst case scenario of censorship: Loli is completely removed as a playable character. The item appraisal process is blanked out and non-interactive like headpats being removed from Fire Emblem Fates. Breast expansion from everyone is removed completely.

Middle ground is between the two extremes.

>>14978591

>Breast expansion from everyone is removed completely.

Isn't that the storyline/plot of the game?

>>14978631

It is. But… You know Britanistan. Breast expansion is haram.

>>14978649

They're under sharia law these days, wouldn't they support harems?

>>14978803

Yeah child harems at that. Maybe they just have to make all the characters a sexy shade of brown and say it's a female muslim empowerment game. That would get around the loli stuff too since you are not allowed to seperate a 7 year old girl from her 40 year old husband.

>>14978591

Honestly they would be better off canceling the game instead of censoring.

They should try to work with Play-Asia instead to get the game out in some form.

For example, PQube handles the translation while Play-Asia publishes the game in Asia to get around Britistans retarded laws.

>>14989758

There is already an Asia region version of the game, it has Japanese and Chinese language options. Play Asia doesn't publish or localize games, they're simply a retailer that sells Chinese/Hong Kong versions of games. You get English in some of the HK releases because there is a sizable English speaking population there. All Play Asia can really do is "suggest" to some publishers that some titles may sell more in HK and through export if there is an English language option.

>>14989758

It depends on much money has already been spent. Pqube is probably in survival mode under threat of massive government and civil lawsuits.

This is their highest profile project to my knowledge. If Pqube initiates killing localization now their severed contracts with D3 will guarentee their blacklisting with other Japanese publishers who want to release games on Playstation and will sell out to the NiSAs and 8-4s. If D3 pulls the deal then Pqube may survive with their story to tell and pick up less risque projects for the future, albeit exclusively on PC since consoles are too strict with western region releases. If the game is released with hope Pqube can recover enough losses to move shop out of Londonistan where they won't be accused of distributing child pornography. Worst case scenario is lawsuits happen. Pqube closes shop. Everyone there has to find jobs outside video games. SJW propaganda slanders them as worse than Weinstein. And the NiSA/8-4 clique will convince Japanese publishers the only localizers you can trust are established tried and true big localizers with lots of money who can screen out these racist bigots and get their games past Orwellian western government censors.

>>14989946

I could have sworn Play-Asia was looking into going into English localisation at some point after the DOAX3 shitstorm.

Shame the game already has a Asia version. Maybe they can work out a patch or something.

>>14990143

I think Valkyria Drive and Muv-Luv are higher profile games then this. They also still have Punchline.

>>14992505

At this point we may as well wait for the Steam version by d3p.

>>14990143

Pqube publishes other games, including European motorsports stuff. I think they'll be okay, but I'm certain any Japanese company looking to localize a game with even a hint of lewd content will avoid working with any company based out of the UK entirely.

I think there's also a chance niche Japanese devs will completely avoid dealing with the west. They're well aware of the hysterical gaming press and the addition of nanny state interference makes it that much easier for them to pass on localization deals. When Rapelay hit the news years ago a few nip eroge publishers cut off western sales entirely, by refusing sales outside of Japan and even blocked foreign IPs from accessing their websites.

>>14994840

If that doesn't paint a picture of a nation cluttered with braindead bureaucracy and backwards priorities for you then you're missing the point.

>>14995361

Oh so now they are going to ban books like Lolita I guess. These people are insane Lolita was a recommended book for a book report in my highschool, I went to a fucking catholic high school.

>>14995701

This news article was from a few years back.

Incidently, Lolita was one banned in the UK during the 50s.

>>14995710

I cannot imagine why the UK has such a massive child abuse problem.

>>14994840

>Japanese devs will completely avoid dealing with the west.

This is the best case scenario, honestly - it's not like you should be trusting other people's translations even when they mean well, and that is rarely if ever the case these days.

>>14995040

>the 80s

Oh you have no idea, they've been using those for much longer - you had the Pythons mocking the concept with a "cat detector van" in the late 60s/early 70s at least, so they were in the public consciousness as silly for quite a while.

>>14995753

communities of pedophiles who gather to justify their actions to each other. Its not really different then any other echo chamber.

>>14996113

fixed

>>14995753

I can think of one reason which involves a certain group of people. This time I'm not thinking about Catholics or Jews.

>>14995021

And poor Tommy just got thrown in a maximum security Muslim prison for exposing the Bongistan prison-mosque system. At the moment it's unknown whether or not he has been beaten to death yet or not. I guess I can axe the UK out of my market because it is an "Islamic Terrorist Nation".

>>14995361

Loli confirmed removed as a playable character if they choose to re-enforce this law again.

>>14996151

And that is why the United Kingdom should be boycotted until Brexit is official or a civil war happens and a new government establishes an American style bill of rights with free speech and guns. Dunno if they'll still be pozzed.

>>14996253

The game would be worthless for me if they removed the loli.

>>14996253

>Dunno if they'll still be pozzed.

if america is any indication they'll be very pozzed

>>14996135

yes if we blame jews and pedos we wont have to take responsibility good idea

>>14996384

You better learn Japanese son.

>>14996508

Not if they open it outside of the pozzed areas it will be much fucking cheaper too.

>>14994840

This.

I never hear anything the nips, both creators and native fans, think about the gaijin that actually love tits and Japanese culture without being cringy, want to directly send their $ turned into ¥ and use their disrespectful western sensibilities to go off at the very tryhard, ugly retards that won't shut the fuck up.

Anyone know?

>>14999756

it is, japan. better get on learning it fag

Tits are doomed. By 2025, tits will be heavily regulated even in the US. They will be completely illegal in the UK and women above an A cup will have forced boob chopping surgery. This is the blackpill.

>>15000591

Creators are "thankful" for any praise they receive directly from western fans but other than that they're mostly indifferent to them since they're not really significant. There are some shops like AmiAmi that go out of their way to make foreign language websites and even give little "thank you" cards with the shop mascot written in English. They like the foreign business but that is about as far things go. They're also nice enough to put little warnings on the listings for things like nude loli figures that state customs may not let you have it, so check your local laws.

As for native fans, otaku are typically absorbed into their interests and disenfranchised by society in general. They're similar to what a "nerd" used to be like in the west before cancerous pop-geek culture became a thing. They typically don't care what their own people think about them or their hobbies, so foreigners aren't even a second thought.

If anything they would probably hate foreigners if they found out about things like the olympics meme, where foreigners actually think they have enough influence to make Japan ban everything and magically turn SJW. Shit like that is a special blend of arrogance and ignorance that makes foreigners look like retards.

From what I gather that mangaka that blamed the olympics for stopping their stuff (the one people link to from /loli/) became a laughing stock and already had a reputation for using lame excuses to "quit" and then come back years later anyway. Basically the Yandev of lolicon manga, except they actually had something tangible from time to time.

>>15000824

>There are some shops like AmiAmi that go out of their way to make foreign language websites and even give little "thank you" cards with the shop mascot written in English

My actual fucking heart.

>>15009837

>You'd need to show that the main audience are Muslims.

Wouldn't that just be the default in Europe since all the humans are either dead or in jail for trying to talk about how the Muslims keep killing everyone?

Any news?

>>15012020

Pqubes latest tweet says that they will have news sometime before the end of 2018. My guess is they are probably going to delay the game to edit it to pass government censors in Bongistan.

>>15014516

Or they're working on some way to get the game out through a shell company or something but aren't sure if they can.

If this game gets cancelled…

#BoycottBritishGames

>>14889667

But fucking why?

Maybe Sony banned the game themselves. They've done so for Super Seducer as well, so it wouldn't be a first time.

>>15014577

do the bongistanis even make games

>>15028561

I somehow managed to read that as Rapeware.

>>15028561

>>15028635

All those companies aside from Frontier make absolute trash now or are shut down. Rocksteady can maybe turn shit around as well.

>>15033437

I've seen random Melonbooks purchases include small picture cards in them. Funniest one I got is some Rinnosuke-looking guy wearing an apron "Happy white day!". The other three are random girls. One lewd.

>we probably will not be able to go into details.

https://twitter.com/PQubeGames/status/1009567878440538112

>There is due process that must be respected.

So, yeah, this more or less confirms that the UK authorities/government has pulled some kind of shit.

>>15034159

I think they are working something out with play-asia. The last censored gaming video mentioned a huge psvita game getting announced in like August or something. That will be exclusive to their weird Asian English label.

>>15034159

Whelp, this game's western release is shitcanned because Sony doesn't want to associate themselves with a company producing child porn in the UK.

>>15034981

It's probably for the best, games getting released in the West just means they'll eventually get fucked over to sell better in the West.

>>15034995

What are the chances that EU is going to mandate PAL markets to region locks software to console and PCs after this?

>>15035028

Odds are they won't feel a need since they know most people are too lazy, stupid, busy, or unmotivated to bother becoming literate so they'll have to settle for (((localizations))). That said, be on your guard, because the EU only knows how to make cancerous decisions.

>>15035071

Well Article 11 and 13 passed. So region locked consoles and OS will be a possible thing soon.

>>15035081

Region locked consoles were always a thing. OSes? That ain't happening with all the legacy hardware out there.

>>15035028

>region locks

If that shit happens, I'm going to stop gaming again.

>>15035101

>If that shit happens, I'm going to stop gaming again.

>not playing old games

>not making your own games

>>15035101

To be fair there's no reason to settle for local hardware if you live in NA/EU since they don't make games anyway, you'd just be importing JP systems and games to begin with.

>>15035156

And getting hit with extortinate customs fees.

>>15035234

Shit, they pull that on you? At that point, I'd just move out, you're pretty much in the third world at that point.

>>15035101

There is always a way around that, anon. I've done it since the days of snapping off tabs inside of a SNES to jailbroken consoles. There is always a way.

>>15035341

This time region locks will be encrypted in the software itself that console system updates can get around, even if you do buy physical. Plus in another thread I read about how physical copies next gen will be reserved for pre-orders only and that post launch buys will be digital download after that.

So even if physical copies aren't region locked they'll be limited supply while digital copies will be available to your region's store only. And soon it will be against the law to access networks that do not agree with the EU's internet laws. Even with VPNs, if they remain legal in the EU, will be required by law to report to the EU you downloaded that loli porn game from Japan's Sony store. If this isn't law now you can bet someday it will become law without the population's vote like everything else the EU passed.

>>15035382

All that is theoretical hysteria, don't panic yet. There's enough to be angry about in vidya to worry about the bad side of what ifs.

Honestly if shit gets THAT bad I won't touch consoles period. I'm already almost at my limit for abuse from this industry and my backlog is big enough to bail on video games entirely. Normalfags can have their sanitized localizations and pozzed SJW AAA trash if that is what they keep buying, I won't be part of the problem.

>>15035497

By then piracy will be the only way to play imported console games. At least until the shithole countries don't go full retard and ban customizeable tower PCs for iPhone style tablets and smartphones where you "stream" triple A games from "the cloud" from the network any time. I'll be dead long before that tech is available. CES has been flooded with smart phones you can dock and use like pseudo-PCs. Gee I wonder why?

>>15035549

I think smartphone manufacturers are looking to get in on the Switch craze while sneaking into the PC market, but what you're thinking may also be part of it.

As a positive note, the worse things get, the more creative pirates will become.

>>14889738

Maybe UK devs can move across the North Sea? Degeneracy is still alive and kicking in good old Holland.

>>15035796

And shills wonder why localized middleware JRPGs are dead in the west. Piracy is the only way to play not neutered versions on the game most of the time.

>>15036099

Abandon the EU. Bongistan is only a symptom.

>>15036320

>Abandon the EU

So go to Switzerland then? Or Norway?

>>15036374

Just be sure to do lots of research first before moving HQ. Either way their contracts publishing games on consoles is over. Once you're labled as a child porn producer by European console publishers you're blacklisted from the big 3. They'll have to rely exclusively on PC/mobile markets if they continue localization after their lawsuit.

PQube are saying that they've got a statement for next week.

https://twitter.com/PQubeGames/status/1010262560648646661

>>15041722

Pqube is assumed to be distributing in the US as well. If they lose all distribution rights to court case then they'll lose US distribution rights as well.

>>15041650

>>15042728

>>15042783

I think they are working something out with Play-Asia to distribute it in some way. Since they are the only ones who still have the US and EU versions listed. The Eu versions even say they are expected to ship June 30th (next week). Also in the last censored gaming they interviewed someone from play-asia and they said to expect a big game announcement coming from them soon.

They should do an asia-English version for Freedomlanders to import.

>>14918193

Lolis are illegal in Florida, yet I manage to buy a monster girl book with lewd lolis in Barnes & Nobles. Shows how much they give a shit.

>>15056473

>but I'm confused about the "platform holder" bit because Sony didn't ban it in Japan.

Sony of America/Europe approves of their games in their respective region. Japan doesn't do approvals for every region, they focus on their own shit and let the regional branches handle it

>>15056527

Oh you tease, what are you talking about?

>>15056532

Makes sense. I'll at least approve that they didn't cuck out by censoring the game, but I have to wonder whether this isn't a serious blow to them and future attempts to do borderline games.

>>15056542

>I'll at least approve that they didn't cuck out by censoring the game, but I have to wonder whether this isn't a serious blow to them and future attempts to do borderline games.

They should just do what Idea Factory International does; any games that would be too risky for western console get PC ports for the west instead. That's what they did for Moero Chronicle and Uncensored Monster Monpiece

>>15056471

>>15056473

Good, with any luck, this will be just another step towards developers rejecting the West entirely and focusing on their home audiences.

>>15056563

Don't forget the Play-Asia Asia-English translations. They should take advantage of this.

>>15056570

or more self-censorship for that sweet gajin money

>>15056619

It's a weird twist of fate that sweet Chinese money means more to the Japs than our filthy dollars do now. Asian releases with English subtitles are the way to go.

>>15056627

>Asian releases with English subtitles are the way to go.

It should become a standard.

>>15056619

That's sadly what's likely to happen, but on the other hand at the rate the EU's going there might not be much of a West to sell to at this point.

>>15056639

It's a Vita game, but yeah, Sony at this point is a fucking lost cause.

>>15056644

It's allowed when it's Westerners, because double standards.

So I was right on the money when I guessed Sony pulled the deal. Lewd middleware Japanese games are dead on consoles in the west because mother Merkel guys.

>>15056639

Sorry for me wanting to play VIDYA GAEMS

>>15056760

Why do you stupid cocksuckers always use this excuse? If you wanted to play video games, why wouldn't you support only good games from good devs? By supporting shit, you only get more shit. Is such a thought process too difficult for you?

>>15056851

It's really depressing but at this point I'd prefer supporting crappy lewd games because they have the lowest chance to getting butchered. They know who they're hinging on.

Apparently reset era is going to try and use what happened with labyrinth z to try and block other games from western release this way. No screencaps yet, but I'll update when found.

>>14995753

electronic old men

i'd dead serious

>>15056570

Let's carve a fucking divide.

>>15056882

Doesn't surprise me in the least.

Well, I suppose the next best thing to hope for is D3 to collaborate with Play Asia for a PC port. Otherwise until we get region locked consoles again expect moe anime games to be banned from localization because child porn.

>>15057244

No.

Sony America and Europe are not allowing an English version to appear in any region.

I want this game, but if it comes to Steam, I won't buy it 'cause fuck Steam.

Thinking about this a little more deeply:

1. UK bans game because game "normalizes child sex abuse."

2. Sexually abusing children is the current popular thing in the UK by certain groups.

3. UK pressures Sony Europe and Sony America to ban this game in order to appear tough on child sex abuse.

>>15057299

UK needs a violent revolution to overthrow their current communist sharia government.

>>14907771

Why do these people enter the localization industry if they hate japanese pop culture?

>>15059984

That's exactly WHY they made (((localization))) - destroy it as much as possible.

>>15060000

I'm not talking about the kikes themselves, I'm talking about the goyim who grow up watching anime, decide to learn japanese, and work in the industry. Is it that they get brainwashed at university and suddenly realize that anime is "problematic" and needs to be fixed?

>>15060969

Those who love anime and video games that are serious about their careers are the first to get kicked out of the university, my dude. University is a joke. It'a elementary school grade politics now where the people you know are more important to your career than the degree itself.

So you get a degree in Japanese linguistics, great. Funimation/Treehouse won't hire you because you didn't join their whore's orgy of the week and earned good goy points by taking social justice/marxist studies with them. You're a fucking nobody to these localization companies unless you network with over 1 million Facebook/Twitter followers as well.

Which is why we're going to have to create competition for these companies by employing those serious about translation and localization. Unfortunately honest start up money is a very limited supply unless you're a jewish blaxicanism omnisexual trans-pumpkin who can suck 9000 dicks a day. Which means localization is going to have to be a division of a currently existing successful multimedia business.

>>15062653

I am so glad I dropped out of University in 2008. Otherwise I would have taken an internship at Gearbox and worked with Anthony King of Cucks Birtch.

>>15065386

>Anyone knows if the pirate monster girls boobie game is good?

I didn't get very far in it to be fair so maybe it picks up later, but the combat system was a bit too simple for my tastes.

>>15066303

So long story short: SJWs want region locking to prevent games from being imported so they can force their shitty propaganda into shitty localizations. But without region locking the SJWs will have government ban the games anyway. Either way learn the language yourself and do not rely on localization companies to not be pozzed. Reset Era goons at Sony of America and Sony of Europe is going to do everything they can to make Pqube never publish a Playstation game ever again.

Do I have this right?

>>15066547

That's the upshot. But I'm giving you a reason why it's as bad as it is. To translation it's as garbage man is to civil service.

>>15066570

I'm pissed off that the end of region locking just means consoles can use European country laws to over censor games even though video games are suppose to be an expressive medium. Treehouse last gen was just going full 4kids.

>>15066608

*expressive in the US.

>>15066547

>So long story short: SJWs want region locking to prevent games from being imported so they can force their shitty propaganda into shitty localizations.

Yep. They also want to force devs to censor their shit for them so they don't have to.

>>15066547

>Either way learn the language yourself and do not rely on localization companies to not be pozzed.

This. Even when translators do genuinely try to make something good, like Ted Woolsey back in the day, there's time, money, a lack of context, executive meddling, and all kinds of other bullshit that can fuck with it. Never trust anyone else's translations.

>>14890075

Stopping real rape is hard, so instead they go after fictional perversion which is EZ.

So you are saying Steam is our only hope?

well all hope is lost then.

>>15066923

>Steam

They usually only do localized versions to begin with, PC's not a real factor in Japan. Just play the real games.
