From what I played of the volleball in X2 the gameplay should be very good. They just need to fix ass battle and the race and add 2 more activities and it will be solid.
everything ruined by the social justice westerners
Actually there is a character who is just that.Since when is adjusted "censored" ?
Many "Adjustments" are made in localization.
Honestly, I could do without Marie Rose, who is CLEARLY underage (despite what her bio says) in favour of a more mature character.
People who are mentioning Senran Kagura... I haven't played them personally, but there are no flat-chested Lolita types in that game as far as I know (unless I am mistaken)
Rig, Bayman, Bass, Hayate, Ryu, Jann Lee, Jack, Leon and Brad.
West needs its dudebro characters.
More like this, Dead or Alive Xtreme. More like this.
I'll let voice actor Ashly Burch of Hey Ash Watcha Playin & Life Is Strange fame explain:
Xtreme series is that sea of titties and honestly in 2015 it feels a bit quaint
Like reading Playboy when you have bizzaro German porn available for free
That's for sure.I think Ash might be underestimating how much some people like breasts.

There are "in-game" examples of how flat she is, but I'm not going to PS Vita my GAF account over it. So I'll leave it to just this [fully clothed] image.
Do you feel the backlash against those games was not justified?
Dragon's Crown got too much heat imo, there was an Amazon lady too that people forget
It has though, the mere fact we're having this conversation is proof enough. It's not a total black and white transformation, but it has changed.
The gratuitous sexism aside, Dead or Alive is a polished product that pushes Tecmo to the front of the fighting game, hot on the heels of Namco for the title.
Tecmo doing the lords work. Genuinely hilarious stuff.
Because in the real world there are no petite adult women. Clearly
I honestly can't believe this argument is so commonly trotted out tbh. Consider this character for a second...
Now sure.. there may be some adult women out there who are petite, flat chested, part their hair into twin ponytails, dress like a child, sound like a child, have the face of a child, all at once... but you know what?... They're outnumbered by actual children by about 2500:1 (likely being generous here). Without attributing a fictional age to this character, ain't nobody looking at her, and assuming she's intended to be an adult design. Let's not be silly about this. The DOA girls all track heavily on the side of youth in terms of their appearance as it is... that one of them stands out so obviously as to constantly draw this discussion makes the designs intentions pretty clear.

They mentioned they would bring DOAX3 to the West and as an 'adjusted' version in the past? Where?
"For the PlayStation Vita version of the game, itll use a customized Soft Engine Lite. There will be features that uses the touch panel and gyro sensor."
Welp
Why all the talk about Marie Rose having no chance in appearing in DOAX3 in the west? Isn't she confirmed to be *ahem* 18?
A 1000 year old demon?I honestly can't believe this argument is so commonly trotted out tbh. Consider this character for a second...

welp, i'm officially grossed out
Adjust the fiction. The women are now all 3000 year old dragons.
A 1000 year old demon?
Well there you go.
Understandable given the toxicity of the debate surrounding certain topics in videogaming currently in the US. Yet a little sad, maybe.
Too much clothing for you ?
Probably will adjust the age so that they don't have those 15-16 year olds running around in almost nothing.
I disagree. The intention was to make Marie Rose look clearly like an underage girl. They plastered "18" into her bio last second to swat down any criticisms they knew they'd get. Not unlike 12 year old flat chested girls in anime doing sexy stuff but with the excuse that "she's actually a 300 year old demon".A mild case of the etna defense. I don't give a crap either way, but people pointing to an arbitrary number for a fictitious character to defend their position is always funny. In the end they're all 1s and 0s, age has no meaning.
If someone fits all the criteria I listed, then they're almost certainly making a conscious effort to appear child-like. It not as simple as some people are short and don't have large chests... there's pretty basically no non-deliberate way for an adult to be just like Marie Rose irl. There are adults wearing diapers in irl.. but there's no way having a short character frolicking on the beach in a diaper isn't gonna (very deliberately) stir up some shit if added to a videogame. It's super rare occurrence doesn't prevent what the design is very obviously supposed to look like. These artists are professionals, they're not struggling to convey age here.

Bullshit.
I like the sexiness in DoA but I hate Marie Rose. Give me more Honoka. She at least looks like an adult.
Many (most?) girls in DoA were definitely underage in every game prior to DoA5. It wasn't until 5 that they upped the age of every girl to at least 18 but back in the Xtreme 1 & 2 days you at least had a 17 year old Kasumi and a 16 year old Ayane running around wearing dental floss for bikinis.None of them are underage as it is.
That's crap
Just because some people appear young, doesn't mean they are young. I pretty sure that's why many people bring ID with them to buy products or to get served in bars.
Honestly its your issue.
If you wanna view this computer game character as a child, that's nothing to do with me buddy.
The "1s and 0s" part threw me off. I thought you were saying "she's a digital nothing, we shouldn't care what her age is".I think you misunderstood my comment. The whole point was that the age number means nothing, and the only thing we can go off of is how they look. Ya she's total lolita bait, no made up number is going to get away from that fact.
Have you played a Senran Kagura game? or are you just being facetious?

but these aren't real people, you know that right? They're custom made intentionally to look a certain way by somebody else. It's not an accident of biology. It's not a matter of personal choice. Someone sculpted her to look vaguely underage.

Well, I believe I may be able to say that I did.
Hence my lack of understanding over that outrage for a bunch of cartoony polygons ?
You just admitted a post ago that YOU didn't.
I hope "adjusted" means adding male characters rather than removing aspects of female characters.
Man fuck North America. Forget those puritan prudes, Tecmo Koei. Think about Yurop. Boobs and dicks, asses and abs, we'll take it all as it is.
By "social justice" you mean "sexually repressed American puritan soccer moms", right?
Like...censored? In 2015? What the fuck is happening.

Stuff like this is more likely today, thanks to the well-meaning but shitstorm-prone internet criticism sphere.
This is why I resisted this stuff. I'm a feminist too. I understand the motivation, but it needed people to say "slow down" and argue for its right to be left alone too. I knew that this was just going to amount to hostility towards harmless content in really niche games.
I remember how games were self-censored in the 80s and 90s due to conservative religious sensitivities... And now they'll be self-censored in the 2010s due to liberal sensitivities. Great. I don't want either of those realities. I like to think we live in a free society where everyone's fantasies can be safely explored in media without fearing a shitstorm.
I wouldn't call it outrage. I would call it disgust that they're marketing products which primary selling point is sexual content and that some people are content and happy that it includes minors.
I'm just calling it out as it is, you don't need to make an excuse or just slap a different number on her bio, just agree that you like underage cartoon gravure and be done with it.
Are you suggesting I have no idea what is included in a Senran Kagura game unless I play it? I have watched videos of it, you know. And it's not like there isn't games like Bon Appetite which are basically shallow spin-offs interspersed with food fetish scenes of the girls lying in giant deserts while only covered by whipped cream, because I know for a fact that is a thing in that brand.
I'm not an idiot, or misrepresenting the game, i'm just talking about a prominent aspect of it that I find really gross.
