ITT: Games that were unnecessarily censored
>Genesis Sonic has four fingers while Gamegear Sonic has five
Triggered
>>321740365
Thumbs aren't fingers.
>>321740119
It's not unnesessarily censored. I was offended by the shape of the head. They were right to censor that.
Nobody was gonna buy the game uncensored anyway.
how come US always got the censored kirby
>>321740517
You know what I mean
>>321740119
Was his head too phallic?
>>321740658
Kirby is mad that he has to switch his rice rolls for donuts
Are you all retarded? The GG version has the artstyle of the cartoon, that's it.
>>321740621
I'm actually not sure where they're going with this.
Spinball actually tried shoehorning characters from the Freedom Fighters cartoon, but the robotnik there is different.
Gamegear (which came out later) uses the Adventures of Sonic the hedgehog eggman.
>>321740852
It's not retardation, it's neo-/v/ slang. Get with the times, grandpa.
>>321740991
>>321740852
Don't be obtuse, this is a contrarian's sarcastic circlejerk of an OP.
>>321740517
Really? How so?
>>321741118
Well, for starters, they don't fing.
>Left Robotnik
Holy shit, the man is melting through sheer rage.
>>321740991
>that pic
That's literally what neo-/v/ is like.
Not many people noticed at all, but the comic strips in Max Payne 1 was censored in the German version. They just removed the blood stains in german version because the comic was deemed as content for kids and they can't have kids looking at bloodstained comics....
Funny enough nothing else in the game was censored. Shooting up people leaving pools of blood is just fine but the comic wasn't...
>>321740991
>Normie
Maybe they were referencing older Fallout games
>>321740749
This desu senpai.
>>321740658
Kirby isn't really censored. He just looks more determined or even angry than the Japanese box art. Likely because US kids are more drawn to action then silliness.
>>321740119
That's not a censor you jackass. It's just keeping in with the show.
>>321740723
Genesis came out first.
post japanese covers of western games
>>321740991
handy guide, that image
>>321742269
Now that's just hilarious.
>>321742618
The bottom left is tons better than the original
>>321740119
I don't know why they decided to redesign the characters.
>>321742757
fag
>>321742757
It's the best looking censored one but I'm not getting enough of dem legs
What was the point of censoring this?
>>321743169
Asses are where cooties live
>>321743169
I actually like the censored version because it almost implies that she has nothing on
Would you still buy the 3ds version knowing it's censored?
>>321742442
Should have been the cover for every region. I like it.
>>321740991
pretty much this
>>321740991

![hqdefault[3].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/rOiCoo8.jpg "hqdefault[3].jpg")
Censored in PAL and JP regions
>>321742269
don't fuckign remind me of that level, I broke my E key because of that one
>>321742618
wow these actually look terrible compared to the original
Xenosaga ep 3 was bloody as fuck for the japanese version.
Bamco censored everything just to get a T rating.....
>>321743628
This isnt entirely accurate since some of the scenes in the US looked way more hardcore than japanese just no blood.
![hqdefault[3].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/iHdYExb.jpg "hqdefault[3].jpg")
What's unnecessary is why this game was brought to steam in the first place. Anyways they removed all the porn for the steam version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAk1-HM0FGU
this was actually censored in all versions with a splash screen
>>321743692
>since some of the scenes in the US looked way more hardcore than japanese
wut? So which scenes without blood looks more hardcore?
>>321741293
Must be suffering to be a German gamer.
>>321740365
Japanese always make people have 5 fingers, because having less than 5 fingers implies that the person is connected to the Yakuza
> make games pandering to weebs and otakus
> censor the very thing pandering to them in the name of broadening your audience
These fuckers are delusional as fuck if they think normies will buy this game regardless if it's censored or not. And I made sure not to buy it because it's censored. Fuck you Nisa, I refuse to buy censored shit.
>>321740119
This is some Sonic generations shit.
>toon robotnik with classic sonic
>toon sonic with eggman

EU and JP don't like the idea of games that realistically depict children getting killed in a bloody fashion so Grey Children from Silent Hill were replaced with teddy bears with claws
>>321740991
Shill = Someone Talking About a Game Positively
>>321744336
Censored and still rated M?
>>321744681
How on Earth does that look like a kid to any sane person?
>>321743818
That's not even that crazy. DMC has easily done stuff that's on-par.
>>321744824
>still rated M?
yup.
>>321744816
>not Shill = secretly hyping in lucrative leisure
>>321744816
That's only half the meaning of shill.
>>321740991
meme game is "popular game I haven't played"
>>321745119
exactly
that's why it belongs on the guide
>>321740119
Sonic looks better on the GG cover, and Eggman looks like he actually does in the games on the right
>>321743339
Why would I play the 3DS version of anything ever?
Yggdra Union and Riviera both had bath scenes that depicted nude girls in the U.S GBA versions but they were covered up in both the JP GBA version and all PSP versions
>>321745409
They were meant to be naked in those versions too but the japanese ratings system CERO was introduced around that time which made things complicated
>>321745404
The 3DS version of Tales of the Abyss is okay. At least is cheaper than the actual game
Laws in PAL regions and Japan are a bit stricter when it comes to nudity and gore in video games so the following games were censored in those regions but left intact in the U.S versions
Witcher 3
Dante's Inferno
Far Cry 3
Last of Us
No More Heroes
God of War

>>321743169
I don't think there was any plausible reason. The others like Bravely Default makes sense from a certain standpoint, but this is literally just a bikini bottom. It's not even particularly skimpy looking. No one would care and they wouldn't even have trouble keeping their T rating.
Blaming Americans doesn't mean anything either since bikinis are standard shit here.What really pisses me off is watching other Americans try to defend this only because other countries are mocking them for the censorship as if they're personally accountable for it and they dupe themselves into defending it to deflect the shame that they shouldn't even be feeling.
>>321743285
Retard please. You can clearly see there's a swimsuit bottom.
>>321743493
Yet again, only on consoles. Who gives a shit?
>>321744336
What would you do if the Steam version was uncensored?99% chance it's uncensored since they don't region lock Japan and their games have Japanese subtitles options on Steam.
>>321744858
>>321747196
Not the point.
When you cover something like that up in a certain way it makes it seem lewder than it actually is
>>321740119

You're all plebs

Have you ever seen USA taking down Japs when it comes to covers?
Now you have.
>>321747487
It has been you retard. Read the thread before posting
The original censorship.
If you:
>bought HGSS
>enjoyed Voltorb Flip
>consider HGSS the best Pokemon game ever created
Congratulations, you just killed video games for everyone else, might as well just buy the rest of those censored games already.
Now Europe thinks that it's okay to bring Syrians over here because of the slippery slope of PEGI ratings they fucked with.
Thanks fellas.
>>321741118
They are fingers. Apparently they "don't have 3 joints", but they clearly do and are indeed the longest finger.
>>321747626
voltorb flip is more an issue with gambling laws or some shit instead of "someone's feelings might get hurt"
>>321747626
Don't forget the message board on the casino from ROSA

>>321748459
I dunno man, I'd argue the pantyhose is an improvement in terms of pandering to my fetishes.
Also,
I wish someone would make a cover with male chest cleavage for one region then half-assedly cover it up for another. Would make for a laugh.
>>321748402
It took me a while to spot it
>>321748498
>loli's uncovered chest doesn't get censored

Maybe they thought it was an arm or back of the knee.

The casino in Omega Ruby and Alpha Saphir was censored

Mamma mia
>>321750180
Grats. Your shitty laws censored a game. Now do us a favor and nuke yourselves so you stop funneling over refugee sand niggers
>>321750180
Wasn't it removed from all the versions and not only EU ones?
>>321750578
Slippery slope.
HGSS started it and then the machine just stopped at BW.
>>321748451
Casino removed completely and turned into a "grocery store' or some shit
>>321740119
its called mega drive you fat hamburger fuck
>>321740852
OP was making a joke. but it seems to have gone over your head.
>>321740991
Normie = A person with mainstream tastes, living a "normal" lifestyle.
Normalfag = A person who idealizes "normality", and shits on others for have alternative tastes.
You didn't catch on to the distinction.
Censorship = A game that had "offensive" content removed or otherwise edited, in order to sterilize the product.
This word is used fairly consistently. You may not understand why something is censorship at first. And that's probably where the confusion is. But /v/ has been using it correctly.
>>321740658
KIRBY'S FUCKING PISSED
>>321740365
>thumbs are fingers
t. americuck
>>321740119
The gamegear version seems way too fucking extreme.
That's aosth Robotnik. Ever seen him in action? Shit's way too intense. Kids were probably way too scared to pick up the game after seeing that.
>>321751554
No, the casino building is still here but can't be entered and there is a bullshit note on the front door
>>321741620
>US Kirby chose the genocide route
>>321748498
How's that game btw? I remember being interested in it
>>321748498
>>321744858
Whenever it happens to boxart, that's because the ESRB actually has limits on cleavage shown on boxarts and even advertisements.
>>321743818
I was prepared to dismiss this as overdramatic anime shit but I have a sudden need to play this now.
And that voice acting is godly.

One of the insults was sex related.
Jeez, accepting censorship, of any kind, ever, is like being a c u c k of the mind.

This was was stupid as fuck. Only the MP was censored for god knows what reason.
>>321748682
Like this?
has censorship gone too far?
>>321740517
>>321755514
I didn't think it was possible to be this stupid
Japan boycotted the game because of censorship.
>>321747464
holy shit i forgot all about bubble porn. I used to make this stuff for anons all the time when i was learning photoshop holy shit. Thanks for reminding me that exists, anon.
>>321758737
>Japan boycotted the game because of censorship.
The game is Japanese anon, it was censored outside of Japan
>>321759256
You living under a rock? They advertised the shit out of it like the top pic in youtube videos and more. Then censored it a week before it came out in japan. Japan basically got the censored version as well so all the otakus there are not buying it. The sales were very low for first week.
>>321759492
But the image with the pants is from the International version of the trailer and the panty shot is from the Japanese trailer
>>321759825
>hey advertised the shit out of it like the top pic in youtube videos and more. Then censored it a week before it came out in Japan
Can you not read you stupid piece of shit
>>321758737
Japan boycotted the game because it's a prostitution of 2 franchises in a single package.
>>321759825
It's the exact same trailer they gave for both west and Japan.
>>321759928
>the image with the pants is from the International version of the trailer and the panty shot is from the Japanese trailer
"Can you not read you stupid piece of shit"
>>321756942
is this real
>>321761961
Is this fantasy
>>321756942
Censorship by definition, is always too far.
>>321761961
yup. They didn't want people to say they cut content nor did they want people to have it uncensored.
So they made it look retarded as fuck.
>>321756942
That almost makes it hotter
>>321759492
Thats pretty bullshit and false advertising
>>321744681
From what I've read the game was only censored because there were stabbing incidents involving children or some shit in the UK when the game was released and that's why they censored it.
Idgaf though, got a 10$ US Steam card the other day from an American friend, and bought the US version.
The game is fucking amazing! The ost made this shit even more scary.
10/10
>Censorship only matter when it impacts my ability to see digital titties
I don't understand this meme.
>>321764592
how can you post in a thread without even looking at the OP image?
>>321756942
Man, she really is a potato.
Funny how autistic weeaboos get mad that their underage waifus or just even game covers get censored in NA but yet the nippon land has much stricter censorship laws
>>321743719
holy shit someone knows this game other than me!
yeah that was pretty bullshit. i know their company is going downhill ever since that blunder of a failure known as bonecraft, but holy hell this is NOT how you get your game more popular.
i've replayed bonetown like at least 10 times and that's mostly because playing with a boner is fucking awesome knowing i can relieve myself at any time.
if by any chance you know how to get the bonecraft modkit to work on a cracked version, please let me know.
the better sex scenes is the only reason i play bonecraft and i want to mod it myself but it just doesn't work with a cracked copy.
>>321765143
because censorship is just a convenient way of complaining that we don't get enough titties in our games. If this were legitimately about censorship then there are WAY more important issues going on in the world in regards to things being censored. But instead it only ever seems to come up with vidya titties are involved
