Do you think the Japanese get upset when they get censored versions of our games?

You know, the same way we get upset when we get censored games like #FE.
>>
Were they upset when they got rid of the Megaton quest in Fallout 3 and changed the name of the Fat-man?
>>
Wait, adding a bubble is censorship?
>>
I don't think they give a shit, and I don't really care anyway.
>>
probably, they get real mad when their own vidya gets censored because of the west
>>
There are alot of people in Japan. Some of them are anal retentive autistic nerds but most are not.
>>
Japs aren't faggots that accept changes like the sjw and normies here.
>>
>>344497683
I recall a lot of them being pretty upset with No More Heroes. So yes.
>>
>>344497683
who's this?
>>
>>344497683
How was this censorship? They added the nose bubble for the Japanese release. Censorship is when something is removed, not added.
>>
I sure do hope that Japs who like western games are as mocked and ostracized as weebs over here.

I get what you mean, but your definition is a little off.
>>
>>344497683
No but they do get pissed when their own version gets censored because of us.
>>
>>344498086
Of course it is! Anytime you change a game away from the original vision of the creator, it is censorship.
>>
>>344497683
That's a Japanese thing? I'm pretty sure I've seen cartoon characters like the Looney Tunes have snot bubbles when they sleep.
>>
>>344498086
REEEEEEEEEEEE

>>344499716
Yes, it is. How else do you define censorship of games? Otherwise, you could always use the excuse that it was 'about culture' or 'about different markets'.

If the creators have to change their product, it is censorship.
>>
>>344497683
They got upset about star ocean censorship

>“When I found out we were unable to provide the same experience as the Japanese version, I also felt some disappointment. But our overseas fans remained happy that the game was being brought over and I’m glad to see their passionate support."

Not japs, and not sure about whether japs got L4D2 with gore removed or not. Played L4D2 arcade edition on DenDen once, that version also sans gore. Totally gay t.b.h desu
>>
>>344499324
Pretty sure actual weebshit is hated in Japan as well.
>>
>>344497948
Yeah, actually
>>
It's mostly gore that get censored in Japan, but it almost never gets bad to the point where they remove story elements, the only thing I can think of that's that bad is GTAV
>>
>>344499883
besides the fact that they didn't "have to" change anything, censorship doesn't work if it goes in reverse
>>
>>344499912
why even listen to a few autists when most people are enjoying the game
>>
>>344500315
There is no reverse. Adding and taking away are both alterations.

If they add clothing. That is censorship. If they take away scenes, that is censorship.
>>
>>344499959
Extreme violence gets censored in Japanese games all the time.
>>
>>344500315
So basically, it's not censorship if it happens to a Western game

No this is a case of Localization and people on /v/ like the mix up the two.
>>
>>344500437
when is it not a case of localization
>>
>>344499324
Call of Duty and GTA sold more on the PS4 than fucking Dark Souls 3. The Japanese don't care for Japanese games anymore, that's the principal reason why Sony is focusing much more on the American market.

Despite that, Japanese developers will have no choice but to make games only for Sony consoles. Nintendo is Hitler re-incarnated, Microsoft is waitu debiru, and PCs are essentially illegal.
>>
>>344500437
>implying the two are mutually exclusive.

It's not censorship, but don't be retarded.
>>
>>344497683
That just means our version is censored
Luckily I don't play pixelized indie platformers in the first place
>>
>Revengeance in Japan has most enemies bleeding white blood because cyborgs

God damn it. I actually like this.
>>
>>344497948
Yes

I imported the NA release because of that, too bad a friend sat on the lunchbox because I really liked that lunchbox.

Nintendo Censoring out fits in #FE is censorship. Something like the AA series is localization. Albeit to a ridiculous degree.

Yes. MGS is CONSTANTLY censored for Japan. The true versions are always international.

>http://www.metalgearinformer.com/?p=22519

MGS3 had whole missions removed
MGRR had semen blood instead of red
and MGSV had link related

im sure there were others but those are just off the top...

white blood makes the white zandatsu characters make more sense too

(white blood not pictured, can't find a screenshot)
>>
>>344501209

Pretty sure white is also the color for real artificial blood as well.

Pretty cool.
>>
>>344501031
pretty sure they're changing outfits for a reason so
>>
>>344501185
>MGRR had semen blood instead of red

I actually liked the look of the artificial blood more but wished they had it as something optional.
