What is the worst case of censorship in a game for no reason?
>>337148804
Sanji looks better with the sucker in my opinion
The cig makes him look edgy

>>337148962
>cigarettes make you look edgy

There is nothing wrong with making alterations to avoid a Mature or Adult rating. A company wants to target as many people as possible.
>>337148804
Who cares about it? No one that matters thats who
There's a game coming out/came out recently and the censored the protagonists braided hair.
Just completely removed it from the game in america.

>Smoking is cool :D
>>337149526
Not him, but it does add a flaw to character.
You know, so you could relate to him.
>>337149506
That was Gunvolt but they did give him back his braid. The shirt change was still in though if i'm not mistaken.
>>337148804
Who cares really, who the fuck cares, i played the censored OoT, i played the censored RE1, i played the censored Crash 2
Who the fuck cares, you only start caring about this shit when you become a manchild with nothing better to do
>>337149159
How about alterations to avoid T rating?

>>337148804
Fatal Frame V since they thought adding Zero Suit Samus skinsuit was somehow less fapbait than a swimsuit that the grown adult character uses in a photo shoot
didn't lower the rating either
NISA removing the lewd scenes from otaku games they're brining over is pretty stupid. No normal person is going to play Criminal Girls, who are they kidding by getting rid of one of the main draws for the audience?
>>337149828
Is this really a case of censorship? The braid and crop top is way more associated with femininity in the west. It's more localization than anything.

>>337150105
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you actually asking if covering a character up more and removing aspects of their design is actually censorship or not.
With that in mind.
Yes it is really censorship.
>>337149864
>WAHHH THEY TOOK AWAY SOMETHING THAT WAS COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO THE GAMEPLAY
end thyself, if it doesn't affect the game then why bother? the game belongs TO THE FUCKING DEVELOPERS
If they want to censor bits because they want to cater to a broader audience that their fucking problem as long as they don't butcher the game and even then, it's their game and their right to do anything they fucking want with it
Don't like it? don't buy it, but don't bitch like you are going to change their minds
i support good games, not marketing strategies of "taking an ass shot away while i have these other 900 ass shots" nor i'm a supporter of "the game got completely butchered by taking away this alterternate costume that makes my dick hard"

It was done awkwardly here. Poison suction cups was just wierd
>>337150273
No, he's right. It's not censorship. They're not censoring something because they disagree with it, it's a fucking hair braid.
They looked at the character and said "Fuck, only gays have hair braids here. Nobody is going to play as a fag. Lets just crop that shit out." It's literally just a localization. Pointless, but nothing bordering on censorship.
>>337150273
Censorship to most though refers to changing something for moral/religious/ect reasons.
To me the design looks more relate-able to masculine sensibilities.
I know you're going to try to pass of what I'm saying is shitposting, but honestly the US design is more simplified and aesthetically pleasing to me, and I know I'm probably not the only one who feels that way.

>it's not censorship if i'm okay with it.
That's all you are saying here. They removed something from the design because they thought it would be unappealing to the new audience. That is censorship. Furthermore, it's an act of complete senseless censorship for ACTUALLY little to no reason. Which was what the OP asked.
As much as I dislike censorship, a company has the right to artistically do whatever they wish with their product. If you disagree with that then you're basically saying the creator isn't entitled to creative freedom with their work.
That being said, a third party causing censorship is something else entirely.

Developers, not localizers. Other than Super Mario Bros 2, I don't recall any time when game that was altered for foreign release getting released back in original country, which goes to show that usually developers don't consider the changes to be for better.
>don't bitch like you are going to change their minds
Why? People complaining has had effect, such as recent Steam release of Final Fantasy XIII which got Japanese voices added. Why should people just be quiet and not let companies know when they are not pleased with their decisions?
>i support good games, not marketing strategies of "taking an ass shot away while i have these other 900 ass shots"

>>337150610
It's one of the cancers that kills gaming, all these "WE GOTTA FITE CENSURSHIP GUISE", only harm games and the developers end up either making less of THAT content that was censored or they start "self-censoring" in order to raise awareness
The best way to fight censorship is not giving a fuck about it, because then you can say "See? No one cares about your claims, you SJW faggot" but instead people go apeshit and they play right into the moral guardians' hands making them go "See? If we take it away, then the gamers become angry! That proves they only care about this stuff"
>>337150748
Publishers/Localizers can do whatever the fuck they want with the product they were in charge of localizing or publish, and even then, how often do you hear them fuck up?
They work for the same company (or they were hired) that made the game, that gives them the right, again; don't like it? Don't buy it
>>337150834
Censorship or not, you have absolutely NO SAY OR RIGHT in the localization or making of a game, who are you to claim what was censored and what was just a design choice? Are you the developer? Then shut up and let them do with their product whatever they want
Entitled gamers thinking they know better than the devs are cancer
what is worse.

>>337150834
This is obviously and ultimately wrong. You are on the right track but are missing levels upon levels of where the censorship is, and who decides it.
The artists draw and create the designs.
The directors approve the designs into the game.
The studio owners decide what games get released.
The publishers decide where they will publish.
THEN The publishers pay censors to work over the game and remove aspects they don't want to be associated with them.
The publishers should have no creative freedom with the properties they publish, they should either want to publish the game as it is or not at all. And if they dont want to publish it at all, that's fine, but don't take a game, completely remove all its selling points, then sit on the "Rights" to the game so nobody else can sell it either.
But beyond that, where do you say the rights begin? If the director approves something and the studio owners say it must be changed because of fan reaction, was that censorship?
What if the director decides to force artists to change their design?
Was that censorship of the artist?
This is a much more complex issue then you are thinking of.

I'm not saying I'm okay with it. But you literally don't know the definition of censorship. This type of thing is done all the time in books and movies, and as long as it never changes the tone or moral of the story it's usually fine. It's just making a character more palatable to the target audience.
For example, say I write a book about a character who smokes as a bad habit and the book is getting translated into Chinese. Well say the Chinese don't consider smoking a bad habit, they consider it completely normal. They would have to give him a different, more Chinese bad habit to make the character more palatable to the Chinese worldview.
I think it's pointless because the people who buy these games don't really give a shit and are almost always into the 'Jap Uniqueness' they import to us culturally.

Even in Japan they altered the game before its release. The final boss was originally going to be YHVH, but Square went "WOAAAAAAAAAAAAH NOW, you can't just do that". So they changed it to Yabeh (a combination of Yahweh and yabai, the japanese word for bad/dangerous). In the US it was further changed to Deus.

Its not censorship becaues nobody is going "we can't let those westerners see braid and midriff, they are gonna flip" they are going "we need to communicate this characters masculinity to a western audience and these visual cues are not helping" If that's censorship then translation is censorship.

What selling points besides gameplay could you need? The publishers have the right to do whatever the fuck they want because they work for the company that made the game
I'm pretty sure someone has to give a final "OK, release it!" even after the publisher did their wonders

/v/, shockingly, is full of hypocrites who only care about censorship when it cockblocks them. If Gunvolt starred a girl with the exact same design, Inti-Creates would be accused of being SJW reactionary transkin for daring to cover the character's stomach.

They've made that joke so many times now.

>>337151634
Using analogies just make you look fucking stupid. Especially when the analogies are untrue, on top of being unfitting.
Completely removing something because "The audience would find it unappealing" is the definition of censorship. Localization is "The audience would not be able to understand it."
For example, In zero escape whenever talking about cats, the main protagonist develops a tick, which is a common japanese trope. Where Japanese speakers will sometimes use "unnecessary" prepositional phrases. Such as "you know?" or in the most famous example "desu" where desu is already implied.
If an English speaking character just started saying "meow" after every sentence we wouldn't understand why. So in the localization they changed it to him making cat puns when cats were mentioned. So that the english speaker can clearly understand that the character talks goofy about cats.
On the other hand, if they would have completely removed that entire scene because "wow english speakers will just think him saying meow is dumb" Then it becomes censorship, because you are removing something that the new audience "wont like"
>>337151804
It's really not censorship though. It's stupid and a waste of ownership of a franchise, but it's not stupid. It was just something you did back then to get a show to fit a whole 1980s tv season because Macross wasn't long enough for that.
Don't get me wrong I hate it and the fact that they did it, but I don't blame Macek for doing what he did when he was just trying his best with the situation.
>>337151531
>The publishers should have no creative freedom with the properties they publish, they should either want to publish the game as it is or not at all. And if they dont want to publish it at all, that's fine, but don't take a game, completely remove all its selling points, then sit on the "Rights" to the game so nobody else can sell it either.
You are living in a fantasy world. Guess what? In tv directors don't call the shots, the producers do, directors exist to bring the producers' vision to life. In art, unless the artist is privately wealthy (fat chance if your name isn't Andy Warhol), what he creates is often determined by the patron that sponsors him. Even in film, where the director mostly calls the shots, the studio has to approve the script and make it as one that they like, and often it's vastly different from the script the screenwriter first penned.
The thing you want doesn't exist and has never existed. The artist has never had power, it's always been in the hands of the person that funds them.
>>337152260

>Being anti-censorship leads to more censorship
They are not doing it right, since the only times i've seen people complaining about censorship is when lewd content is involved
It makes me think "Gee, i wonder what the gamers care about in their games". How is it that people can't seem to find other forms of censorship around? What about i don't know Chris Redfield smoking in RE1, or the removal of the Muslim Chants in OoT? How come no one ever mention examples like those?
Face it, taking lewds away is the newest publicity stunt in the market, Overwatch did it and their game got all the publicity they needed
I saw Gundam being brought up here and there, and this is a bit off topic, but where's a good place to start with that show? I heard there was a version of it that focused more on earth battles with more realistic tank like Gundams rather than the more anime esque ones. Which one is that and is it any good?
>>337151617

>>337150273
Censorship is done to prevent people being offended. I don't think anybody would be offended by the content which was altered in this case.
I believe it was changed to make the character more appealing to the western audience, and not less offensive since it's not offensive to being with (except maybe to homophobes?).
>>337152689

Not really censorship as much as a character being completly changed during the localization.
I don't even get why. This change is just so baffeling, I fail do understand why it happend.

>>337152864
I pointed those out as reference though, because last three years all cases of "censorship controversies" have been around lewd content only
Look at >>337152970 videos for example, all lewd content
I also hate when people confuse "design choices" with "censorship" when they mistakenly will point out at EVERYTHING that gets taken away or replaced and they will start yelling "CENSORSHIP"

>>337154686
Studio behind Stick of Truth was too lazy to make a Germany specific version. It's their fault 90% of Europe got the censored version.
Many games create a standard locked down German version to suit their puritan censorship rules.
It's like subjecting 49 US states to a heavily censored version because Alabama doesn't want to see anything "indecent".

You would need to change Germanys indecency laws. That's the problem. It's what the German ratings board is tied to (although it makes sense for them to switch to PEGI anyway).
Post War Germany are a bunch of pussy-whipped cucks who live in constant paranoia about being seen as "nazis" that they avoid any and all things remotely offensive.
Thankfully for some odd reason, the PC version of Stick of Truth wasn't censored in Europe.

>>337155220
They already made a special censored version. They could have just sold it purely in Germany, with a German flag instead of the EU.

The uncut game got a PEGI 18, so they re-submitted a cut version trying to get a PEGI 16 to help sales. It also got a PEGI 18 though, and then they just never bothered to re-submit the original game.
>>337154924
The German version is specific in that all Nazi references had to be stripped out. There was nothing really stopping them from giving the proper versions to each area, other than thinking it wouldn't be worth the time or money.

france is really bad too, they're the reason dragonball got so freaking censored back in the 2000s in ALL OF EU

Oh shit look at those games that sold really badly and were completely affected by the hideous SJWs! Oh my GOD!
Also, either this is clickbait or everything in these videos are explicit scenes or lewds

Thats wrong. German version has no nazi symbols. Its a different version than the rest of europe has.
>>337155323
Its not about indecency.
There are 2 things:
1. protecting the youth. 99% of times its about violence. But it gets more lax with every year.
2. is nazi symbols. Its only allowed in education and art and games are not art in german law. Thats all there is to it.

People have yet to provide a compelling reason why some nobodies on twitter apparently hold the power to intimidate multi-million dollar companies. Is it really so unimaginable to you that people might change their mind after being exposed to a different point of view? Actually, that does explain a lot about /v/.
>>337155968
I'm just saying not only did Germany get the censored version, but they got extra censorship beyond that to comply with Germany's laws. So they did create a specific release just for that area, and had no reason to use it for other areas except for the fact they tried to go for a lower rating in those regions, failed, and didn't bother to fix it.
>>337156428
Then why are a large number of violent games that don't feature Nazi symbols often censored in Germany alone?

Violence?
They want to lower the age rating.
In the past this was a real problem but since maybe 10 years tehy just rate violent stuff 18 and you can sell it normaly.
In the past they mostly put it on the index and it was handled like pornography. That means no advertising and no putting on shelf in store. That leads to cutting to lower the rating.
But thats mostly a thing of the past.

>that black to white dude

I don't really care about the game or whatever is shown in either of those cutscenes, but if I made a game/a book/a movie/whatever and someone who's localized it just outright replaced some parts because he thinks he knows better than the author, I'd be pissed.
>>337156558
>hold the power to intimidate multi-million dollar companies
They do, for whatever reason. Specific individuals are even less safe. A company has two choices, obviously:
>Stick to your guns; whatever they are
>Conform
Either one pisses off an audience. They will just go with the one that seems the most altruistic to the general public every time.
>change their mind after being exposed to a different point of view?
This is a good point, this would vary greatly however, and we lack methods of seeing whether or not this is true. This happens far less often then you would think though. Companies don't really hold rigid opinions. They're like politicians, just looking to get appeal and mass support. Nothing more.

Everything nintendo this gen has been obnoxious to the point that I regret buying a 3ds.
They have been doing it for ages which is understandable, but things are slowly changing here. Steam now has semi VN, and sony pulls out fanservice games out of his asshole without a care like conception or dungeon travellers. Nintendo is still stuck in the old ages and refuses to take any risk that may affect their imaginary child fanbase.

>>337159276
It does, it's when you're given choice between correcting your work for being published and not being published at all and you pick the first option. That situation is called censorship, but the choice was always there.

I looked for the guy who made the ones in the left. Aparently he is an artist who makes comics for Disney Italy since the nineties. Also, I found a lot of ducks made by him, see pic related, there's more where that came from.
I don't know how to feel about it, I guess he was just lazy rather than lacking talent when making those designs.
