>Releases a week before FFXV

It's like they enjoy wasting money or something
>>339636504
I don't understand why NISA is so fucking retarded
I thought this was just a marketing ploy so people would report on it and spread the word about the game. It seems to be working
There probably are people who are going to buy it because of the motivation changes since ya know all that feminism/girl safety stuff is popular.
>So how will Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors differ from the Japanese release?
>1 - Redrawn art.
We had a bit more time to work on this title. We didn’t want to make any alterations to the game that would be jarring to the experience or feel “off,” so we worked with the original artist of the game who redrew the art for the Motivation scenes that might have caused issues due to their explicit nature. We didn’t want the game experience to change though, so we are also investing the extra effort into incorporating Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors’s unique Live 2D effect into the new art.
>2 - Terminology changes.
As with the first in the series, Criminal Girls: Invite Only, “Punishment” will be framed as “Motivation,” and other terminology changes from the first game will also apply here. There may be a few other translation changes as well. This reduces the power distance between the player character and the girls in the Reformation Program and makes the activities of the game more consensual.
>3 - No native language dialogue.
Like with Criminal Girls: Invite Only, we will not be dubbing the game in English. The game’s text will be in English, but the spoken dialogue will be the original Japanese voice track.
>4 - No Motivation scene dialogue.
Some of this could cause an issue with power distance, or perceived consent of the activities of the game. This dialogue also represented a technical challenge to localization, because there are no subtitles. Thus, another reason this dialogue was removed was to avoid a situation of no text to accompany several lines of untranslated Japanese being spoken.

>Some of this could cause an issue with power distance, or perceived consent of the activities of the game.
>>339638905
You wouldn't want to hurt the anime girl's feelings, would you?
Holy shit, i can't believe they did it again.
>>339638203
Why the fuck localize these in the first place if you're going to take out the appeal of them?
Atleast no more pink smoke?
So let's continue posting about it and give the botched release even more attention and notoriety.
Great fucking idea.
>>339639439
As opposed to ignoring it so that prospective buyers may not be aware of the changes? This isn't a mass appeal game.
>>339636504
NISA has always been a special kind of retarded
Every decision they make seems to be what's in their interest, and not the customer's....as if that wasn't more apparent even before they said ”NO UNCENSORED PC RELEASES BECAUSE OF COMPANY POLICY. WE CAN'T CHANGE OUR OWN POLICIES, KEK"
>>339638203
but why?
straight up sex in Witcher 3 and strip clubs in GTAV with topless girls are okay but not anime girls being tied up?
ITS NOT FAIR
>make light-hearted bdsm game
>cut out all the lewd moaning and make the characters not tied up
So instead of liking it now they're just mindbroken and let you hit them with no reaction and don't try to get away even though they aren't restrained? That's pretty dark. I'm definitely boycotting this sick rape game.
This is an actual Steam background on Steam. NISA just does not want to release game uncensored.
>>339633390
Because Mei is a kid, there's nothing sexual about that picture unless you are a pervertlike me.
Or maybe it's just the daki was more sexual in nature while Mei is just posing non-sexually.

>>339641386
I don't know why they would bring up the topic of consent for a video game at all anon.
Anyone that buys this game deserves an early death.
>MFW I have the JP LE copy of CG2
Fuck your shit NISA. Either release the game uncensored or don't bother bringing it over.

You should probably tweet that at them.
>The art is still being worked on as we speak, so I cannot give a good estimate as to the number of scenes that were changed, but I can say that it's probably around half the total scenes. Some of the changes are extremely minor, some of the changes involve poses and how much clothing covers what. I would say that the example given in the blog post is probably in the "middle" of the degree of changes. We have to be especially careful with the two younger-looking characters, Kuroe and Mizuki, because sexual situations which may be interpreted as being non-consensual involving minors is one of the biggest no-nos that you could ever no to ratings boards.
>>339642306
If that was the only way to release it in the first place, I'm not sure why you think anything would be done differently for the sequel. Also, the fact that the CG2 is getting localized means nothing bad came out of how NISA did things before.
>>339641279
>it's ok when sony does it
>>339642462
It seems like they would be better off not localizing the game just due to the amount of work they have to do before it gets sent for review.
>>339642604
It really is
>>339642462
>because sexual situations which may be interpreted as being non-consensual involving minors is one of the biggest no-nos that you could ever no to ratings boards.
Okay, so just change those? Why go through all this effort when the other like 70% of the shit you're changing is moot point?
>>339642462
>Some of the changes are extremely minor, some of the changes involve poses and how much clothing covers what

Are you fucking kidding me? They are cover up some of their outfits and probably Yurine's areola slip. I'm dead fucking series about Yurine's areola slip you can see it in the official art(used as one of the portraits as well in the game especially in the status menu).

It didn't, though. PS4 version has the exact same bugs that NISA introduced to the PS3 version.

Holy fuck, I've never even played thsee games, but that is disgusting. Why the fuck would they even localize them, if they change fucking everything to make it more pc? Everyone knows that it's a jerk-off game, just let us jerk off.
>>339646072
so do you have to do the punishment/motivation stuff because it looks embarrassing
Usually I'm not very upset over censorship as long as it doesn't touch gameplay or story, but they know that this game about BDSM so why the fuck would you censor it? Not a single virgin is going to buy your game if you censor the thing they actually want from the game.

No, it's the only way to get it released on store shelves.
They could've had sales restricted purely to their website (like they did with htoL#NiQ) and have sold it regardless of ESRB rating.
It's what Manhunt 2 did for its director's cut.

>Releases a week before FFXV
As if XV is relevant to such games... They don't play in the same league and the audience crossover is fairly minimal.
Absolutely no one is going to choose between one or the other because their release dates are close. Either you planned to get both games, you'll get both. Either you're not interested in one or the other and you, so their release date are irrelevant to you.

Censorship is sort of a moot point given the changes they've announced. So much as been changed that this shit has gone full Theseus' Paradox. It's damn near an entirely different game.
I agree though. Given that their target audience heavily favors faithful localizations why would they even bother with something that they felt would need these kinds of changes? There isn't a significant casual audience for niche Japanese games.Is there?

>>339649632
They're really using that excuse when it's the German ratings board forcing their hand. They don't want to do a separate European version of a game that's already going to sell low numbers (with ot without censorship) so they only have to make one overseas version.
>>339649632
It makes the employees that are localizing it uncomfortable so they're taming it down for their own sake, not for their customer's sake.

I'm just going by what they claimed for the first one.
>>339655216
>>339656302
The correct description would be, "This game is also for pedos."
>>339656661
Fairly sure they straight up admitted that they didn't send the first game out until they already censored it, so the "it'd get an AO rating" argument is bullshit.
What was censored?
>>339638203
I had no intentions of buying the game, but it baffles the lengths these companies go through change parts of a game for international release. Who are they trying to appeal to? Kids? I thought the whole point of the D rating was to be the equivalent of America's M or PEGI's +17. It's like how Nintendo swapped out two costumes in Fatal Frame despite having a Mature rating. Why censor shit when the demographic the game is aimed at is suppose to be old enough to view what you're censoring?
>>339656885
Nothing. It's just Nintenchildren shitposting, as usual.
Since speculators are snapping up Vita LEs hoping they'll be valuable, this will sell out.
>>339656885
A bunch of art and the whole Punishment minigame got changed again. Also I think they aged up one character.
Is there an uncensored version with english still like DOA with their asian version?
lmao, another one to join the pile (along with a good 5-6 other ones that I've been too lazy to update this image with, but I'll get around to it at some point).
Friendly reminder that the Vita ~literally~ has more censorship than the 3DS.
Friendly reminder that the 3DS Senran games aren't censored at all, but the Vita ones are.
Why are you still a part of the Sony hugbox again?
>>339657329
Most likely not. I ordered the Asia release of Criminal Girls 1 and it turned out to be exactly the same as the Western release. Only the Japanese release is uncensored so I'd assume the same with 2.

If I want to masturbate, I'll play actual porn games, which is why the vita will never appeal to me, since it's filled with nothing but censored awful anime games with browser tier gameplay.

But are we really classing aging up as censoring now? Or in that case, just not telling you outright. That's literally going to be the case as long as consent ages are different.
>>339659690
big whoop. Every game is censored if you look at every part of it with a magnifying glass. The issue should be is if it changes the game experience or not.
DT2 is probably the most that moderate censorshipfags will tolerate
CG2 is clearly going to be a travesty, even moreso than CG1. All the censorship from CG1 is back, and now with half of the actual CGs edited

>>The "censoring" of this game is in no way an attempt to "pander" or "market" to certain people. It is in no way a response to any anticipatory backlash by "feminists" or "SJWs". Understand that these edits were done to bring the game down to an M (and equivalent) from an AO, not from an M to an M (but with less sexual content) or T. We know what game we're making, y'all. It's from our parent company.
right......because when given the option to release a game on a platform that let's you bypass those requirement, you still throw your hands up and say "lol can't do it"
I'm at the point where I just don't give a shit about their Vita releases....just fucking give us the real reason why you won't release an uncensored version on a very open and lenient platform
As someone who has only really played the Disgaea games, Phantom Brave, and Soul Nomad I honestly don't know how NISA normally operates. Is this normal?

>Is this normal?

They're doing that to cut out the middle man because Danganronpa sold a shitload in the west.
>>339652087
yup brainwashed you should see the forum its awful
>>339657045
That's really stupid as most NISA collector's editions sell out. They would be speculating on whether there will be any demand for it down the line. You can either strike gold or you will get something like Mugen Souls Z. I am betting on the latter.
>>339664057
don't worry. Their CG Steam forum will tear them a new asshole
>>339663918
Doesn't help that NISA wasn't exactly great at localizing 2 and UDG either
>>339664426
how bad was it?
I remember buying natural Doctrine and it was localized by them
aside from the tutorial that came to the west first were there any bugs with the game? I never noticed anything but just curious
>>339664426
I've only played DR2 and besides 2 text overflows and one typo everything else was fine from what I played.
Holy fucking shit. This guy at the forum wrote some good stuff about why it shouldn't be censored and that it's stupid. Lo and behold: http://www.nisamerica.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=123&t=16915&p=886896#p886897
>>339664803
They're both just littered with translation errors. I recall them messing up one exchange between Gundham and Sonia. Also, in the PC port, there's leftover text from the Vita script for some reason (as in button inputs).

Who? I see nothing but fanboys.
> Child pornography is freedom of speech!!!
>>339636504
Didn't the first one get censored to hell and back and sold like shit?
Why try to follow it up?
>>339666128
This game is not pornographic, and drawings are not child pornography. And I do believe that censorship of games like this is a step backwards in terms of free speech.
>>339666264
Are you kidding me!?!?
>>339638203
So who is their audience once they alienate the otaku the game was geared towards? I just don't understand the logic.
Do they really think someone who's not interested in anime will look at this and want to get it? They'd have to look it up to find out if it's censored, and I really can't imagine someone who doesn't like anime buying an anime looking game solely because they found out it's censored. Even if they would, they wouldn't look it up in the first place because the only people who would look it up are people who are interested in anime games, and they'd drop it once they find out it's censored. I just don't fucking get it! It's one bad decision after another that leads into a circle, and the only people in the circle are hypothetical humans with directly contradicting tastes who only exist in a universe where everything is wrong!
WHO ARE THEY TRYING TO SELL THIS TO!?

I read it and I liked it. But that shithead "The_Dood" didn't even give you a proper response for your effort. That fucking dick.
Didn't one of NISAs other games reference rape, not once, but two times with a naked tied up dog girl on a pool or something like that while still retaining a Teen rating?
>>339638203
>Some of this could cause an issue with power distance, or perceived consent of the activities of the game.
not native english speaker here, what the fuck does that mean?
>>339668529
They don't want to be apart of rape culture.
>>339668529
nobody knows
>>339668529
They think it'll appear to be rape to onlookers and apparently what happens to fictional entities is important to them
>>339668362
>>339668617
Soul Nomad was less direct but also had an extremely dark series of events revolving around rape and also just got a T rating.
>>339668062
Really good. That dude kind of just brushed you off, though, dood. He didn't even address your whole argument, he just took long enough to address what someone else already did.
Almost nothing short of a fanlation gets translated to English without being touched. I could not care less about what they're doing.
Preordered anyway.

Said nobody ever.
>>339668706
>>339668345
Yeah, I didn't even say anything about SJWs and know that they're trying to avoid an AO rating and addressed that, but the whole thing seems kind of ignored. Its especially frustrating because it would greatly make things better if they would just send games into ESRB uncensored before doing any kind of censorship. If they did that, the changes made might be much more forgivable, and they would also know exactly what it is they need to change to get an M rating.
>>339668680
Rape, Genocide, Murder.
Fun times all around really.
>>339648253
>PLEASE BRING IT HERE I DON'T CARE IF IT'S CHANGED
When has anyone ever said this?
>>339667612
Actually, any normalfag will just avoid it on the base that it's an RPG with turn based combat and no fancy attack animations or cutscenes. It being censored or not is pointless.
And any RPG fan will also avoid it because if they wanted a good game based on mechanics, there's gonna be better games than Criminal Girls. Don't know story wise, but considering it was made with fanservice in mind I doubt it's anything deep.
Honestly, the impression I get is that NIS ordered this to get localized, and since no one at NISA can't really say no to their upper ups they just botch it as hard as they can, blaming any low sales on the west not wanting the game.
>>339648253
Stop making shit up.
God damn. I wish more of these niche games were translated by the Chinese, like Moe Chronicles, which was a decent translation. At least they didn't censor jack shit.

It's honestly the best case scenario for censorship. I feel like XSEED of America is doing everything NISA wants to do, just ten time better. If they censor a game, they make sure it's in a way to appease non-fans while still appealing to fans.
>>339644796
I'm not buying it if they remove the moans.
>>339670303
They already did. They say so in that shitty damage control blog.
>>339670391
Dropped.

How do you know? Wait a minute, anon. You're not... kink shaming, are you? That would be, ugh, gross. Not to mention, very unbeneficial to your health.
>>339657479
>putting removing ages on the same level as the travesty that are NISA games
Also 3DS SK games censor ages too you literal retard
>>339636504
Literally who?
>>339670223
This, 100x this! At least they actually gave a person, who is very faithful to source materials of works they have done, a voice to talk about the changes they make, no matter how distasteful he finds the changes, and with no risk of being fired.
>>339657479
Wait, what was censored in Senrans?
>>339661010
Ages, that's literally it.
Unless you count the Ikki Tousen DLC and that isn't "censorship" but rather the English rights being fucked.
>>339670843
Nothing.
>Checking their shop site
>They are having not only a LE, but also a Premium Edition
>PE will have the stuff that the LE included(art book and OST disc), and also includes microfiber cloth, decal sheet, lapel pins, art prints, and a drawstring case for the Vita
>And the game is fucking censored
What a bunch of retards NISA is. They make a LE and PE for a game they are censoring and we know the game is going to bomb hard. They are going to lose so much money from making these LEs and PEs for the game and the game bombing hard due to the game being censored. They're fucked.
>>339670628
>Thinking it's only ages that are affected.
No anon, you are the retard. The Euro version of both the Versus games had their locker dialogue removed.
>>339670931
>being a yurocuck
>>339670843
The ages of the girls were removed just in case they were seen as "wrong" or something. I find it retarded myself, but much better then changing the ages and or removing character CGs/scene like what some companies would do.
>>339670843
Nothing. They just removed their ages out of character bios so people couldn't complain they were underage. Nothing else was touched.
>>339670931
No you are the retard, you can still hear the dialogues.
Can't stand NISA, hope they go under soon. If they keep butchering their already niche localizations that will happen sooner than they might think
>>339671145
Wow you can hear the dialogue that specifically didn't get translated because it's "problematic"
Bravo, that's still censorship.
I wish they'd just put an English translation into the Japanese games.
>>339671157
As long as NIS continues to make sales in grorious Nippon, NISA will probably still be around. Worst that will happen is they're dissolved and turn into two or three self sustained freelance localizers, which NIS may outsource to anyway.
>>339671382
Nothing got removed, in fact it's exactly like in the JP version, how is that censorship.

It's censorship. Plain and simple.

You would be surprised at how idiotic these people are.
Case in point...
>>339672005
For all intensive purposes, the people who the game was translated for cannot understand what is being said. It's censorship no matter how hard you try to dance around it.

Tom isn't banned on Neogaf anymore. He said so himself; he just chooses to not post on Neogaf anymore since he feels he was banned unfairly.
