NISA is in full damage control on their Criminal Girls 2 forum, after PQube announced Gal*Gun and Valkyrie Drive will be coming to the US uncensored. http://archive.is/qB1gL
>With all of my experience from this job and NISA, I can say with confidence that if we were releasing Senran Kagura or GalGun or Valkyrie Drive, we would not be "censoring" any of that content. Do not fall into the trap of making 1 to 1 comparisons of games, because the ESRB sure doesn't.

Suck it nerds maybe you should have picked up dead language that is Japanese.
>Take games about panties and fanservice
>Remove panties and fanservice
>Act like you're somehow the one being wronged when nobody wants your shitty game now that the one thing they would have gotten it for is gone
I don't understand how people can be this stupid, it's almost like only neckbeards want to buy those games
>>344700656
I don't know either games. Do they have content as racy as Criminal girls or are they just talking about out their ass?
>>344700878
All I know about Gal*Gun is it's a rail shooter starring schoolgirls and is lewd as fuck.
Valkyrie Drive is about girls that turn into weapons once they're turned on enough. They're paired with other girls that have the ability to arouse and wield them.
NISA couldn't handle spanking, but thinks they could bring that over unedited.
>>344700878
Valkyrie Drive, the anime, was about making girls turn into weapons by fingering them and showed nipples and prompted the /a/ rule change to allow nudity if it's from the actual show, so assumingly the game has a similar concept.
>>344700656
what a load of shit, they would have censored things they saw as problematic anyway. I am so glad there are still some companies out there who actually understand their customers unlike these other companies that think they are being progressive by catering to people who wouldn't buy their games whether they were censored or not.
>>344701227
Uh, nudity from non-h sources has been allowed on /a/ for much longer than Valkyrie Drive.
>>344701227
Sure, but since the game is available on Japanese consoles, you'll know there are no nipples in the actual game. Sony is very strict on that point. No female nipples, no vagina, no penis, but everything else is fair game. Girl hogtied upside down completely naked except for some small ropes covering her nips and cha cha? All fine and dandy.
But NISA would feel the need to censor that because they would call it "sexual abuse". Nevermind that the whole point of Criminal Girls is punishing girls that ended up in hell for their misdeeds in life. Of course they changed that, too. It's not "punish" it is "motivate".
>>344701616
Well, Valk Drive threads were getting deleted and then a mod posted saying they would permitted, so something changed.
>>344700656
>With all of my experience from this job and NISA, I can say with confidence that if we were releasing Senran Kagura or GalGun or Valkyrie Drive, we would not be "censoring" any of that content
my bullshit radar is off the charts
>>344701616
well the new SJW friendly mods over there were banning people for posting nips and it took a while before they got the memo.

>>344700878
the valkirie drive anime is lewd as fuck
don't know how lewd the game is, tho
>Do not fall into the trap of making 1 to 1 comparisons of games
You got that right. At least other games don't have game crippling bugs thanks to shitty localization.
>Nintendo of America
>NIS America
Why is it always the "America" localizers that are such prudes?
>>344701884
Far less lewd. You can't even show a nipple in mainstream japanese video games.
>>344700656
Why does NISA only pick titles that needs to be censored then?
>>344701740
That's just due to newfriend janitors/mods.
>>344700656
Nah they wouldn't be censoring it, they'd just be removing it for "artistic" reasons.

Lack of competition.

Think /a/-/v/ crossboarders could found a competitor?
>>344701616
Valkyrie Drive is a big anime? I thought it was just some more dumb shit hentai.
>>344703287
PQube and XSeed are doing a damn good job of beating NISA at their game right now, but that's not a bad idea at all.
>>344703218
Fortunately that's changing with companies like Aksys, Idea Factory International, PQube, and others gaining traction.

What will happen to disgaea when NISA dies
>>344703724
It might get good again.
>>344700843
Normalfags want to be "otaku" now, except anything below 4Kids level of localization is likely to cause a heavy culture shock.
This is their target audience now.
>>344703724
Atlus will probably publish it again.
>>344703724
Disgaea goes Japan-only :^)
>>344701962
Because America is a prude country that was founded by prudes.
>>344703984
True enough.
>>344703768
5 was good, tho
>>344703667
Don't a lot of the games that NISA bring over have loli lewd shit though? That's a lot different from lewd like Senran Kagura.

wasn't Criminal Girls just some softcore porn VN without any nude bits? why would anyone give a shit censorship or not?
>>344703846
While we're at it, Atus should disown AtlusUSA already.
Their games deserve a more competent localizators/publishers.
>>344700656
>NISA is in full damage control on their Criminal Girls 2 forum
They've been on it since word got out they were censoring the first game. Tell me when they finally stop doing that shit and when Houk gets laid.
>>344704228
Houk's been gone from the company for over a year now.
>>344704212
At least they've improved from MARK DANCED CRAZY and stuff like this:

what the fuck
>>344703667
Reminder that this is what he actually believes.
>>344704359
I doubt anything like that would happen these days. They can't even be arsed to cover basic licensing fees to add dual audio which by today standards should be a default feature in every jrpg.
>>344700656
Americans getting blown the fuck out
>>344704989
>it's not like the artist
Holy shit the delusion. They're fucking translators, they don't even make the games.
>>344700656
For the last time, in the UK, you can't depict bondage, consensual or otherwise, it's illegal. This is one of the main reasons why its being censored. The rest is lolicon and non-con concerns, though.
>>344705327
What is being censored?
>>344704989
It never stops
>>344704989
>XD
Normalfags weebs need to fuck off.
If you can't handle lewd in your anime games just go somewhere else.
>>344705431
does this game even have any other merits aside from scantly clad generic anime girls?
>>344703336
It's borderline-H stuff. The kind that's popular because it's good enough and can have good budget put on it.
I hate that sort of stuff but Valkyrie Drive looked better than some of the anime airing that season.
>>344705395
Art is being redrawn to remove all hints of bondage, "Punishment" changed to "Motivate", and audio cut out from those scenes.
>>344705561
It doesn't. The lewd is all the game has and NISA is removing it.
>>344700656

lol wut? also how is this relevant to north american releases?

It's one of those laws that nobody really remembers is there and nobody actually gets arrested for anymore.
>>344705664
>>344705845
Mind you, NISA cited "power distance" as a reason for the bondage being removed and stated that the ESRB told them this.
They're using fucking Tumblr terms.
>>344702187
they can't get anything else
>>344705993
>power distance
>>344702187
Criminal Girls was developed by their parent company, NIS in Japan.
NIS would be better off doing an Asian-English release.
>>344705993
what the fuck is a power distance
is it a gender
>>344704198
because it was a drpg
At least the NISA employees on their forum have a reason to shill their own games. Its people like Rednal, just a random consumer, that tries to justify every little thing NISA does that annoy the fuck out of me. Like, why? What do you have to gain? Are you blind to NISA's actions, just don't care, or both?
>>344706189
it's when your enemy does a totally sweet move and powers up so you back the fuck up so you don't get smacked the fuck up
>>344705327
don't sell it in britbong then
I don't really get this trend of people applauding for getting the games censored.
>I would never play this if it wasn't for this based publisher who cut all this foul content and fixed Japan's cultural errors.
What really gets me, is why people actively look for games that have sexual content pruned from them instead of taking interest in things that were vanilla in the first place.
>>344702930
>>mfw about to lose the Danganronpa license
huh?
I own the danganronpa games on steam and they don't list nisa as a dev or publisher.
>>344706120
Honestly, at this point I hope every company decides to do asian english releases exclusively in the near future. It would solve every problem at once.
>>344706663
Spike Chunsoft directly controls the Pc releases of the games. I assume they have ownership of all translated content (audio, and text) and then publish directly since digital distribution is far easier than physical.
>>344700656
You guys are looking at this wrong. They might not have needed to censor it. But It was on the table long enough that they could have gotten it if they wanted. The fact is they didn't want to even put their name on a game like this, they think it's not worth their time. Fuck NISA.
>>344700656

>I believe buying edited games encourages companies to push boundaries and will lead to games not needing to be edited at all
Was Demon Gaze censored any? It's the only NIS game I have.
>>344700656
>we would not be "censoring" any of that content
Obviously, they would "localize" it instead, it's totally different
>>344705789
Because they make one version of the game and at most translate it into other languages. The version the US and EU will be getting will be content-identical, that's why it is relevant.
>>344706919
This is some weird ass logic. If people are buying censored shit then why change it?
>>344706615
I'm even more baffled by the fact that these translators find this content wrong or offensive in the first place. It's like then why did you even learn the language in the first place if you don't like that kinda shit?
>>344705993
According to them ESRB are the ones that used the term "power distance" when referring to the game
>>344707125
Obviously so they could change that shit to their liking. That's why SJWs are forcing themselves into vidya.
I stopped playing games from NISA a long time ago, so whatever.
>>344706941
Nope, only because NISA was doing the global release and Kadokawa was breathing down their necks.
>>344704590
I believe so too, because he has nothing to gain from it if otherwise or he's just being contrarian for the sake of it.
Only vitafags throw this much of a hissy fit over anime tiddies.
>>344706919
At least in this particular case they aren't holding a good game "hostage".
It really rubbed me the wrong way when I heard opinions that all the changes made during Fates localization actually boosted the sales as opposed to majority of buyers simply not knowing any better and the rest just clenching their teeth and taking the bullet because they wanted to play it regardless.
>>344706615
Because every game has to appeal to them. They want games catered to them and not someone else, and finding a game that they might like but has stuff in it they dislike results in them wanting that stuff removed.
>>344704212
>AtlusUSA is disowned
>NISA handles the next Shin Megami Tensei
At least NISA is good about doing PC ports, and their PC ports are generally decent to high quality.
>inb4 Rednal buys all the copies to Mugen Souls 2
>>344706919
I don't know which would be worse, that or selling the lewdness as DLC
>>344705784
It happens, but only when the company that hires them for localization puts a very very short leash on them like when they localized Experience games or when doing Danganronpa. If left to their own devices they'll muck shit up.
>>344707303
But Criminal Girls is also coming to PC and as a PC-fag I hate the censorship
http://pastebin.com/LNGzifsY
>>344707537
PC-fags just mod it out.
>>344700656
All godawful games though.

>>344704989
He must practice his mental gymnastics every morning to spew a block of text like this.
>>344707583
They can't if there's no uncensored version to begin with.
That's why Mugen Souls on PC will forever remain castrated and there's nothing that can be done about it.
>>344706615
It's pretty much why I didn't play the Ace Attorney games, localization makes it feel like a completely different game.
>>344702930
Don't forget they lost a lot of EU publishing rights.
The sooner this company dies the better

Even when ESRB isn't an issue they still make excuses

>>344705664

Meanwhile the GTA games and Saints Row games has bondage and those games didn't get flak for that.
>>344707752
Atlus is no longer using them for EU games right?

That is a valid excuse coming from him, the guy answering probably doesn't have any sort of power to change that policy and it falls to the guys on top.
>>344707795
You mean the time he tried to proposition some rando from /v/ for sex as soon as they mentioned they were female?
>>344707650
They are doing ports faster and better than pretty much every other Japanese company on Steam.
>>344707891
Heard they entered a partnership with Deep Silver in EU
>>344705664
God forbid these criminal girls get punished.
Removing the lewd from a game that's basically just to tingle your taint is the stupidest thing ever.
Sometimes you wonder if these people have fully functional adult brains
>>344707856
Damn almost missed that.
That's fuckin hilarious that their stances are both "ERSB MADE US"(despite nobody at the ESRB ever seeing the game before they gave them the censored version) and "AGAINST POLICY"
>>344708027
Doesn't make it any less a retarded policy that could easily be done away with. If IFI can do it I don't see why they can't.
>>344700656
Oh boy more drama. EAT A DUCK NISA
>>344707947
Forums are shit anyway. Stopped going on them when I found this site ages ago.
>>344708201
Yes they should revise that policy or heck just not fucking censor games to begin with.
>>344708163
This is the reason the criminal girls changes are so fucking offensive to me. It's just retarded. The game is only gonna sell for one reason and you're removing that one reason. Why even bother?
>>344707856
> not our policy
Fuck you! You literally get a free pass and get to skip a nice lengthy step and your response is "we don't do that" fuck that.
>>344705327
>>344705664

>>344708330
For little Timmy of course. His Soccer Mom promised him one game if he's good.
>>344707856
Those retards at NISA keep getting worse. Steam allows unrated games and they could release CG1 on Steam with no rating uncensored.
Also I wish NISA would stop bringing up the ESRB bullshit. ESRB doesn't give a shit of what content the game has. Game would've gotten an M rating uncensored anyway. NISA is full of shit.
>>344708487
Yes, that is exactly why.
>>344708589
Even if they weren't lying, if they actually sent the game into ESRB uncensored and got turned down at least they'd have something legitimate to fall back on. Not just "in informal emails they told us it might be a problem so we changed it". Its claimed that submitting to ESRB multiple times is expensive, but sending the game into ESRB uncensored is the absolute minimum any company should do when bringing a game to the West. If they don't want to risk paying more than once they shouldn't bother bringing it over at all.
>>344708589
ESRB says shit like "this could be an issue" in a non formal just a piece of advice. And nisa takes it as gospel. If they just sent their shit in they'd see it's M.
>>344708589
Seriously, has anyone from the ESRB ever commented on being pointed to as the scapegoat for these chucklefucks? They've been obviously lying for years.
>>344708490
Nope. It was uncensored. Hell you even escape on a fucking pony cart while Zimo is pulling the cart while you are being chased by gimps behind you riding in carts as well and you gun them down. Shit was hilarious.
>>344708058
Is this real? Details please.
>>344709086
So if that's fine in the UK then that one image should be fine.
>>344708907
I don't believe that for a second. ESRB practically grades by rubric and I don't believe any ratings board for anything ever will let you solicit advice in an "informal" capacity, that'd be so retarded and contrary to the purpose of a fucking ratings board. NISA is lying through their teeth and too pussy to own up to censorship.
>>344709296
I can't believe no one in the gaming industry can confirm or deny this shit.
>>344709247
I don't remember the details, I think it was some time after the first CG shitstorm but before the second one was announced.
>>344708098
Idea Factory International would like a word with you.
>>344707213
Oh who are they trying to fool?
>>344709516
>>344708853
>>344708907
Companies do this all the time. If you're localizing a risque game, you can ask them what kind of rating certain content might get you before you have the title done for submission, then you can adjust things based upon that feedback.
I have been refusing to give money to NISA for 5 years. Not even a single penny. Not even games on sale. They get nothing from me. When they finally go under, I will dump my entire dancing animes gif folder in joy.
>>344709814

>>344709797
Bullshit. I've only ever heard of NISA using that as an excuse. Show me any other example. Tons of games have material equally or more risque and go uncensored.
Hell, find one instance of the term "power distance" being used in an ESRB description.
>>344707736
still fine, it conveys the same idea
>>344700656
Friendly reminder that they are pro-censorship.
>writing censorship as "censorship"
Fuck lying asshole.
>>344709643
IFI is still slower than NISA. This year alone, NISA has released
>Disgaea PC
>htol#NiQ: The Firefly Diary
>Stranger of Sword City
And are soon to release
>Phantom Brave PC
>Criminal Girls PC
>Yomawari: Night Alone
This year, IFI has released:
>Hyperdimension Neptunia U
>Hyperdevoition Noire: Goddess Black Heart
>Megadimension Neptunia VII
with the only upcoming announced game being
>Monster Monpiece
Its also worth noting that with Yomawari: Night Alone, NISA is already releasing games at the same time as their console releases, which IFI has yet to do.
What's even keeping them in business? They haven't got Disgaea games coming every day to keep them afloat and most of the titles they localize today anyway just look like bottom of the barrel titles for a very niche audience.
>>344710102
What kills me is the use of Neptunia avatars, signatures, etc on NISA's official forum
YOU LOST THE LICENSE FOR A REASON, DIPSHITS
>>344709797
I know, but they should still send the game in uncensored first regardless and then change it based on feedback after the fact.
>>344710175
Dark magic.
Seriously you'd think they would go under at some point but they keep on kicking somehow.
>>344710167
4 of those are ports. 2 are not. so, in other words, NISA has localized 1 game, and 1 more in the future, while IFI has translated 3 games.
>>344710175
They do okay off royalties from more straight Japshit like Grand Kingdom.
>>344709296

The ESRB doesn't play the game. they look at footage of the game and maybe some synopses.
>>344705993
Also don't forget about how the game can't be non-consensual.
Or whatever the hell they said.
>>344708137
And thank God for that. We can finally get the games at a decent release date with physical copies, instead of waiting over a year for a digital version.
>>344710102
ESRB doesn't give an AO for anything that isn't nudity or sex
You can even maintain a M with nudity and sex aka GTA/Saints Row
>>344710070
Tom from XSEED made a big post about it for some game, forgot which. Do your own research, shithead, hell, email the fucking ESRB asking them if they'll do it for a game you're making. This isn't some big secret, and I'm not making anything up.
Further, my statement has nothing to do with the rest of the shit you're bitching about. It doesn't matter what content is in other games, and it doesn't matter if someone said "power distance" or not. NISA could, indeed, have submitted some content for preliminary review. Whether they did or not, the content of that response, or if they're just fabricating the whole thing, is another issue entirely.
>>344710374
I'm referring to PC ports, not strictly game localization anon. In total, the number of ports from IFI this year is 4 (assuming nothing else is announced). For NISA (assuming nothing else is announced), its 5, with the latest one being released at the same time as its console version.
>>344710102
Would it actually get an AO if it was released uncensored? That doesn't seem correct to me
>>344710583
>ESRB doesn't give an AO for anything that isn't nudity or sex
What is Hatred?
>>344709247
All I remember is basically
>some people on /v/ gettin mad on their forums
>one person sends a PM to him talking about how they don't make a lot of money and how they have to ration out what they buy, and seeing something censored makes them want to buy it less (I think)
>but the way they worded it mentioned their job was a waitress
>dude ignores everything else and basically flirting with them

>>344710763
Didn't she even call him a creep for being so interested in her?

I'm pretty sure the only game I've ever actually bought new that NISA was involved in was ZHP and while I love that game I avoid recommending it solely because NISA's filthy hands are involved in the localization and I don't want them getting more cash.
>>344710167
Isn't it weird how awful NISA's translations are? They aren't even a good localization company. The translation on Stranger of Sword City was abominable and they should be ashamed of charging 40 bucks for that.
>>344710639
We'll never know since they didn't send it in uncensored

No
You don't get an AO for non-nudity
You don't get an AO for girls being 16 instead of 18
You don't get an AO for clothed "bondage"
This is PURELY a political stance from NIS, as proven by the fact they'll even censor the steam version.

Most of their shit translations came from a guy who couldn't give a fuck. He then later worked at IFI for a bit because he couldn't stand the thought that someone else was working on Neptunia which is pretty much his magnum opus of shit, he left that compay too after Re;birth3. Not saying Nisa's translations are good now since they take strange liberties but they were much worse because of one guy who was anti-weeb.

Thats lies. A few M games have titties in them. Like God of War and that Splatterhouse Remake. Also Mafia 2 had collectable playboy centerfolds that had nudity in them. All M rated games.
I'm suprised so many people give a shit about Criminal Girls.
As long as NISA gives me my Disgaea I don't really care about what they do to shitty ecchi games.Makai Kingdom PC when?
>>344708163
They don't.
They are mentally and emotionally stunted children. That's why they're SJWs.

Boom. Done.

How is the industry for localization of japanese games filled with so many prudes? You'd think it'd be the exact opposite.
>>344711870
Criminal girls looks pretty shitty. I'm just concerned about censorship in the age of the internet there shouldn't be a need to enforce cultural boundaries, especially in fiction.
I'm sure a ton of people who do want to play CG know how it's done over in Japan and understand their humor how things are presented, etc. I can't see Chad captain of the football going to pick this up after football practice.
>>344711903
It's not over SJW. The ESRB rates stuff on how "offensive" it would be. For example, the persona games in japan are rated with the equivalent of a T rating by Cero. But here in america we have legit multiculturalism, so something like fighting Yahweh can be seen as offensive to some groups, so that is why the M rating is given. But the japanese crack down hard when violence is in games, a lot of american M rated games in Japan are rated with the equvilant of AO in japan. So the "excuse" of different culture norms is legit. It is not censorship, its them trying to stay out of legal hot water. Because in america a special interest group will sue you and in Japan the PTA will get you fired and you game removed from stores.

Please never become a localization producer. The translation should be "a large sword" or something. The item name is already "Katana"

>a special interest group will sue you over a video game that involves spanking a digital, nonexistant anime girl
>>344712125
They don't.
From the ESRB website
a completed ESRB online questionnaire detailing the game's pertinent content, which essentially translates to anything that may factor into the game's rating. This includes not only the content itself (violence, sexual content, language, controlled substances, gambling, etc.), but other relevant factors such as context, reward systems and the degree of player control; and
a DVD that captures all pertinent content, including typical gameplay, missions, and cutscenes, along with the most extreme instances of content across all relevant categories. Pertinent content that is not playable (i.e., "locked out") but will exist in the game code on the final game disc must also be disclosed.
>Assuming that "the customer is always right" is both delusional and a mistake.
>tfw NISAfags believe the customer is not always right
>>344712097
It's not awkward, it's just redundant because the description is just re-iterating what we already know.
>>344712492
They've merely gone for a style of having the descriptions being independent of the item name. The "Katana" of the item name is not part of the description. The item is "a giant sword known as a katana".
>>344712572
They could make a case about it making pedofila okay.
>>344712492
>sounds good to me!
I never said that, dipshit. The poster said it is broken English. It is not. Now fuck off.
>>344712484
Same with NISA.
>>344700656
the changes get so much exposure and comparison online, what is even the point of censoring them at this point unless it is explicitly to get a lower rating for profit reasons?
every change they make will be discussed and highlighted by their fanbase and potential buyers in this jacked-in gen that know practically anything newsworthy or relevant to their interests within minutes, either through twitter, or their choice of forums
>>344712431
>multiculturalism is why people in America would find killing God offensive
Are you stupid? America is a bunch of prude puritains, just like when they were colonies.
>>344710639
No. Senran Kagura alone does ten times worse than pretty much any game they localized at all. Look at Mirai, she is essentially stripped and nearly nude almost every game and the worst it gets is an M. Hell, Burst even got a T for crying out loud.
I've never heard of pqube before galgun and valkyrie drive, but they are already as good as xseed to me.
>>344712431
>legal hot water
Small correction, it's not a question of legality in the slightest. In pretty much every country except Australia, there are no laws governing the sale of video games to minors. Nor should there be. Even the shittiest soccer mom would have absolutely no grounds for a civil suit either. The only thing at stake here is money. Retailers choose to enforce restrictions on mature content in games because they fear getting a bad reputation for corrupting the young 'uns or whatever, and having their overall sales numbers go down as a result.
But otherwise, you are completely correct.

I can respect this.This is the first time an anti-censorship poster has presented a decent argument instead of throwing out meme arrows. Thanks,anon.
I still don't quite get how people get so riled up over low quality not-porn though, especially since all of CG1's lewd images were put up on The Spriter's Resource almost immediately after the game came out. I doubt anyone is getting this for the gameplay, so if all the worthwhile points of the game are already online, why raise hell over it now?

>Its abilities are high
>>344700656
>Their defence is probably that due to the (inane) company policies that won't let them release unrated games on PC they'd have to resubmit to the ESRB to get a new rating since the content of the game changed compared to the vita version, which would result in them spending more money and possibly not being able to turn a profit, and potentially in them having to resubmit AGAIN should the ESRB give them an AO (here we go with the company policy once again <insert the ride never ends meme>) because their company policy won't let them release an AO on PC, and this would be increased costs.
jesus christ the copyright laws in this country need to be fucking fixed
>>344712892
People complaining about this are new to how japanese games used to be localized. Also people making this a cause and hill to die on for some reason. Working designs was famous for gutting whole scrips and making them up from the ground up and cutting shit out to make it more palatable for the US market. the thing is that now we have a generation of people that grew up with manga and anime that were not scrubbed for NA mass consumption. So we got these companies still working with the "we must clean this up and make this fit, so it can sell to the NA marketplace" then you have this vocal contingent of people online that want the content not scrubbed.
>>344713057
Now THAT is a poor text box worth complaining about. The formatting is horrible and the sentence is poorly constructed.
just learn japanese anon
It's actually quite fun.
>>344713039
Pretty much groups can have the game pulled which hurts the bottom line and can cause even online retail not to carry your game.
>NISA still uses the ESRB boogeyman excuse
>Despite it being debunked on several occasions
I love watching this company slowly burn to the ground.
