Never underestimate the collective power of anime gooners
Much as I’ll admit all such debacles are silly, sometimes I wonder if games have been harmed in other ways by that type of prude adjustment.
Like, I was playing an Atelier game, got to a city, and there was a tall building that intrigued me. I wanted to pan my camera up to it, but the Y axis was tightly restricted. As the protagonist wears a skirt, you can guess why.
It makes me wonder what’s the absolute worst reaction of someone less pervy who’d trigger such a view by accident - whether they’d actually feel a sense of violation or creepiness at their own camera movement, or more likely just giggle it off and pan back.
The people who throw fits about stuff like that don't play the games in the first place
And if they did, they'd be the first ones to be looking up those skirts. That's why they think everyone else is doing it.
I mean looking up video game character skirts is harmless anyway. I imagine most people do it at some point or another. It's the puritanical shame that's the problem
I don't have any problems with people looking up video game skirts. It's the hypocrisy I'm pointing out. The people who complain the most and try to take the rights away from other people are the ones who are most likely to be doing the bad thing themselves.
At a certain point Anime Games only exist because of teenage hormone levels.
Teenage... Yes... Teenage...
I'm curious how many people who upvoted this only got into the genre after age 20. Excluding pre-internet fans who wouldn't have had access as teenagers.
I was into DBZ and stuff as a teenager, but back then you were "weird" for liking anime and anime styled games so I think a lot of people my age avoided it for a while. Now I'm 40 and idgaf, I play and watch what I like lol
So many of my friends who grew up watching stuff like Naruto or Bleach or DBZ or Onepiece or any other show like that swear on how good they are but when I tried any of them they were just snorefests where nothing happened for hours on end.
Like a purgatory made of boring. And thats without even the frankly ugly ass art design like on One Piece.
yes we did. you got tapes in the mail. there were services for it. there were conventions. it was just a lot smaller than it is now.
It’s worth mentioning that the Shinku patch was released just 12 hours after Version 1.2 went live on July 2, which is a rather quick response by the devs at Perfect World to “un-nerf” their newest character.
12 hours for the patch to be released, players playing it, complaining about it online, the devs reading it, deciding to act on the complains, change the model and release the new patch?
That sounds a bit too quick to me and more like they already had the model ready. For whatever reason.
And just for completeness sake, this whole thing is stupid beyond believe.
Or perhaps they just put up the original model which they couldn't use because the marketing team thought it was too risky,
That sounds a bit too quick to me and more like they already had the model ready
I would assume that they have multiple models of each character ready, potentially for future skin releases or maybe just as a "what if X looks like that", as some sort of "proof of concept".
they already had the model ready.
Almost certainly. International marketing showed renders of the character with pantsu, but the character was released in China with shorts.
Pointless censorship loses again
Capitalists incarnate: gooning and gambling
Ha! That's right, only capitalists do that. Not
This is just sad, man. Those guys should get a life.
