Never, Ever Change Japanese Game Developers

Never change japan.

so in 21st Century we can't say that Japan game developers cater for sick
individuals that over in UK we might call paedophile's.

just watch clip Is their anyway anyone can justify it. Saying its only a game isn't an excuse anymore.

There was nothing unsafe in that video.

Don't they make some poo.

_{@Lloydeeee This is your second warning now, please watch the language. -Tasuki-}

OMG, i watched it and i just can't wrap my head around why someone wants to see pixel ***ies

'She's using the uniform she just took of as a decoy!'
'Used underwear works really well, too!'
.
..
...wow

@Gold_Ranger
thats why sammy to video clip of front page. I would also add any criminal psychologist that worked with sex offenders would also disagree, Also anyone who worked with vulnerable children would disagree as well.
Garbage like this just makes gamer's stereotypically look like we hide in a dark room playing games & watching porn.

This game should only exist in an alternate universe when in 1996 Sega came out w/ a console between the Saturn and Dreamcast - Satcast? - after Japan was actually overrun by hentai demons.

im sure these 2 guys are day 1 buy for this game.

Day 0!

Didn't see anything special until the used underwear part. lol
Yep, this is a Zombie game allright!

@get2sammyb
Unless you work for Babestation, or Razzle.

Lol I'm done what's next call of duty girls gone wild edition. Maybe call of duty will sell Better lol. Jk.

@Anguspuss

"look like we hide in a dark room playing games & watching porn"

I have to hide in a dark room otherwise my girlfriend will figure out I CAN do two things at once!!

Japan being Japan again XD

Who'd would've thought Zombies love Bikini's?

@Anguspuss one thing you have to remember is though that this IS a Japanese game mainly made for Japanese teens and that in most of Japan the age of consent is 14-16 so for them it's not as big an issue

now i agree it's too far to be a game i would want to play or buy and it is a game that shouldn't be released over here unless it has some HUGE changes such as increasing the age of the characters but we can't judge another culture with different morals by using OUR culture and morals

Ahhh ha ha is this far real?

Some people sure think MENTAL ILLNESS is triggered not by real life experiences at a tender age and/or other real life factors/abuse, but by the evil Japanese game industry and their evil Japanese game developers.

Genius idea.Very funny.

Cant say I'd see this releasing over here, however I have to agree to an extent with what @fullbringlchigo said in terms of cultural differences, and how the west perceives things.

Having been to Tokyo, the idea of the maid cafe and the girls dressed in full french maid outfit handing out flyers in say London would be an oddity to say the least., it is no where near as extreme an example as this game, but again the west's perception of this would be wtf? where as no one batted an eyelid to it in Tokyo, as its seen as a "normal" thing..

I need to see more ladies cherry tomato and cabbage underwear.

The titles still not as bad as;

Dragon Quest Heroes: The world tree of woe and the blight below.

I cant even remember it properly. That was the worst title ever.

@PaperyWhiteBoy Im a retired firefighter my mother in-law cant believe I can look after 2 little ones house cook & still spend too much time playing video games. I do only sleep 5 hours a day which helps. Mind you being a vegetarian who still cooks meat for everyone else in house. When my wife cooks it always involves fffffffffffffffff mushrooms. But all men there I spend most my time socialising with woman. Its a sacrifice but I do just for my childrens sake.

@Bliquid

I think it's a little bit of both, mate!

Oh no the game will be fun and you'll get to play sexy dress up! where is the walking and looking at discarded receipts and audio logs I so long for.

@DLB3
And lucky for you and others like myself, you don't have to play a game that oversexualizes characters if you don't want to. But this constant crying by you people is f**king ridiculous at this point.

Don't mind me, just here for the comments.

I guess it <i>might</i> be offensive if it was even remotely realistic. As it is, it's just comical... and not in a 'good' way.

Never could get any interest in Japanese games like this. Never been a fan of the Manga art style for one thing, never mind the general bizarre-ness.

So this is the kinda stuff they play on their mobile's..

@DLB3 Just remember, in Japan, they actually aren't underage.

Feel free to disagree in whether thats ok, but the game is in Japan so the 'underage' description is incorrect.

@Anguspuss One word for Japan's worst: Loli.

...and games like this are the reason I like consoles not being region locked.

How is it really distinct from something like Onechanbara, though?

@Anguspuss Oh, hush up. This game isn't aimed at pedophiles any more than Uncharted is aimed at mass murderers.

@DLB3 Whoops, fair point. I had gotten them mixed up. (incidentally, when is christmas? Working 60 hour weeks is clearly taking a toll...)

The topic of it being wrong, in a moral sense anyways, really isn't something I'm going to argue with anyone over, online or local. (my lines of reasoning are still being worked out, in a sense that I can't articulate what I want to say, though I know what I believe to be acceptable and what isn't)

At least you aren't resorting to insults and shaming, unlike others I've seen. (here and elsewhere)

@DLB3
Firstly, I want to apologize for how my initial comment came off, as it seemed more of an attack. Anyway, I never said sexualizing underage girls is fine, in fact if they were to bring this game that's the thing I'd say they have to change is make the characters a little older. I'm fine with the sexualizing of adult female characters because it's just a freaking video game. Now, if you don't like the content that's fine, but that doesn't mean something shouldn't exist simply because you don't like it. I didn't care for the Modern Warfare games at the time the first two hit because due to circumstances it was a little close to home, but I didn't go around saying developers shouldn't like it or people shouldn't play it. The market should have a right to decide that.

@DLB3
We'd actually probably be more on the same page with stuff than you'd imagine if we talked person to person. Outside of games like God of War, Dead or Alive and Street Fighter, which have both had great games in the series underneath some of the silliness and GTA - and we all know Rockstar purposely goes out of its way to be controversial in everything it does with that series - I don't buy games where female characters are sexualized for the sake of being sexualized because I can see right through it. Hell, I never got big into the Tomb Raider series until Crystal Dynamics took over with Legend and started changing Lara for the better. There needs to be something beyond the 'sex sells' aspect for me to buy a game or see a movie or watch a tv show, but that said there are some people who enjoy movies, tv shows or even games, simply for that, and I say as long as there's a market and as long as the majority of people who are into that stuff aren't hurting others in real life, they should be allowed to have their fun entertainment too. For me, though, I'd agree with you something like Horizon Zero Dawn is more up my alley than say Senran Kagura.

@Ralizah
They're called 'schoolgirls' mate. That might be the reason westerners (as you call them?) might find it distasteful. Not many people realise posession of CP in Japan has actually only been illegal since very recently.. 2014 I think. This is a country you can buy used girls underwear from vending machines on the high st. Its a different world in that respect.

But "they're alive, & thats whats important"

@Gamer83 @DLB3 At the risk of somebody wanting my head on a stick, I honestly agree with the both of you. I'm not a fan of needless sexualization (keyword being "needless"), but it doesn't always mean that every sexy looking woman is T&A incarnate. Lara Croft and Samus Aran may be attractive, but even two decades ago that wasn't the only touted about them. A character being sexy isn't bad in of itself, unless the end result is stupid looking from a design standpoint, anyway.

Really, the only real time aside from legal issues that I have a problem with it is when it's the entire backbone of a character or game, with either no other point to it or to the detriment to the product as a whole. It's the only problem I have with Dead or Alive, where the public image of the franchise is that it's just breasts instead of a good fighting game. I'm not offended by it, or saying it should be banned or edited, or have an issue with anyone playing it. I just hate how the series is marketed. As a fan of the series, I can't help but think it's silly. It's likely just the Japanese culture, though. I can't change that.

As for the basement dweller stereotype, it really should be put to bed, as it's as outdated as the Model-T at this juncture. I simultaneously want to laugh at and verbally cut down anyone that legitimately believes that we're all creepy virgins in 2016. I'd argue that would be even worse than all the SJW melodrama.

At the end of the day, I won't buy it if I don't want it, but it's not right for me to tell anyone what to play. Games are fun, they don't have to reflect our lives. And honestly, if this game hits west it'll probably get the M rating, so anyone that can't handle the content probably can't see it anyway.

Anyway, just felt like sharing this, I suppose. I've thought about it for a while.

@DerMeister
The marketing for Dead or Alive bothers me a lot too. I don't know if I want to go as far calling it's fighting system deep, because there are much better fighters from a mechanical standpoint. Tekken being one, the long lost but awesome Virtua Fighter being another. Still, the counter system in DoA always made it fun and at times challenging. It also has a great pace to it and that easy to learn, hard to master gameplay that helped make Street Fighter a series that many of us love. That should've been what sold the game, but I do have some friends not as secure in themselves as others, who won't admit in certain situations that they like the series. It is what it is though, if people can't get past the advertising or are that offended by the content that they don't even want to try the series, that's up to them. I do think they're missing out though.

@DLB3
Nothing to apologize for. My original comment should have been worded differently, that's where things got off track.

This is a realistic scenario whenever you're under attack by zombies.
