Yeah, but maybe the Western garbage sold well to continue selling. DOAX2 didn't.
Says a lot about the taste here in the western markets.

Not that I'm defending racists or what's being retweeted, but how is what's being retweeted originating from racists important? Is not what is being retweeted and the words in the retweet more important than who they came from? Why is who they came from important? I want more focus on the individual statements themselves.
I think the post still somehow stands, though.This is exactly why Play Asia doing this thing is hurtful to the conversation. Now people like this poster for example actually believe that this was because of some SJW conspiracy rather than because of lowered sales, as already pointed out throughout the thread and in that USGamer article.
Their social media employee is only doing damage to any public conversation by conjuring up bullshit that people will believe, all because they wanted to increase PA's sales.
Honestly, they are probably afraid of the very possible backlash from the media, etc and the fact that a game like this probably would;t appeal to most shooter/sports loving gamers in the West.
I'm talking about KT statements. All have already been posted in this thread. I don't know why you deny the existence of those statements.
For one it makes it obvious that there's no ignorance of misunderstanding with the use of "SJW", and this site is specifically using it to get sales and promotion from GG.
There are more people in Japan who would spend money on this type of game. Which is why it is not being released here. This silly game is meant to tittilate male gamers and get them to buy various skimpy costumes. That is the design principle behind the game. That's why there is a camera mode that lets you examine the characters in detail.
It's inappropriate in 2015 to release a game on PS4 that is just meant to be masturbated to. Tecmo obviously agree as they don't want to release the game outside Japan where such products are commonplace. If they were marketing this as a masturbation aid and not a game, I wouldn't care. Beach Spikers was a volleyball game. This is a model viewer with a volleyball mode bolted on.
WHYIf you want to make a porn game then go right ahead. Don't make this softcore playboy shit designed to sell overpriced DLC costumes to sex-starved neckbeards and pretend it's a volleyball game.
I wouldn't even care if this game did get released in the west, the market can decide whether they want it or not.
I love them just for using THAT character in an official tweet replying to people who were offended.
lmao
I think they're going to be OK.
But they never even mentioned or brought up GG. And the term SJW isn't a defined term. It has all sorts of meanings, some contradictory. The word shouldn't be end all or mean much if anything at all.For one it makes it obvious that there's no ignorance of misunderstanding with the use of "SJW", and this site is specifically using it to get sales and promotion from GG.
But you don't think it's because of social media that it's not being released do you?
I think the post still somehow stands, though.
Lets be real the dolts that think this is about evil SLW already had that belief in them even before this shit happened, its always like this with them, at this point they are only venting because they know this is their safe space to do it. Yeah, a safe space, ironic, but self-awareness is one of the first things to be lost when go down that stupid road.
As a card carrying Social Justice Warrior, Play-Asia is correct. We carefully orchestrated the poor sales of DOAX2 and began a covert campaign to infiltrate and destroy any confidence in the third entry ever performing well enough in the west to warrant a localization and release. Our plans were wildly successful. Bow down to your Social Justice overlords, world.
I wouldn't say you can just flat out deny that is something it could be used for. It's not a black and white thing and it's more correct to say it's not just masturbation aid.It's not a masturbation aid. That is ridiculous. And there is a ratings system in place for a reason.
They weren't afraid of media backlash when they keep releasing overpriced DOA5 DLC costumes or a shit PC port.
I love DOA5, but I don't buy Team Ninja bullshit that they don't release this game because "backlash".
It's easier and better to put the blame on others than saying to your western fans that you don't really care about investing money to bring the game here.
wow, someone at P-A doesn't give a fuck

Uh, pretty sure SJWs didn't stop DOAX3. It being garbage and selling like garbage stopped DOAX3.
You guys just aren't seeing it from KT's perspective. Imagine releasing a game only to have the press turn on it and run nothing but negative articles about it for months on end. Imagine how that would hurt the bottom line. I'm sure it would do irreparable damage to sales. It's totally impossible to deal with negative press and haters and still be financially successful.
The best outcome would be for KT to release a less lewd version in the West, that's what they're consider doing if there's enough demand. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1098365
In Shinovi Versus you strip other girls naked by beating them. Did the western media care? So why would a game, where hot girls are having fun with each other, bother someone?I was talking more about those feminists actually. I've also seen reviewers/media criticize sexiness in games as well. Seems like developers are shying away from "sexy" female characters for the obvious reasons this generation and going for more "safe" designs. Not quite sure how something like DOAX3 would be received when a game like Dragon Crown got ridiculed quite a bit in it's early phases. Could be nothing though. Also, DOA5 is a fighting game while DOAX3 is a volleyball/X-treme game simulator with women in bikinis. I honestly don't think ti will sell well at all in the West.
So you want them to keep the women, but lose the bikinis, lose the volleyball, and add hardcore fucking. Sounds like you want to masturbate to video games.
I too would've skipped the game if there wasn't a squabble about its art style.
You bought a game because of controversy in its art? Seems like a goofy reason to buy a product.
Plus other games like Senran Kagura: Estivel Versus had similar if not worse content in it and the dreaded "SJW"s and gaming media don't give a shit about it. That's coming out on PS4 soon isn't it?
I think poorly designed games like Dragon's Crown and Hatred don't deserve to sell well really.
Say what now?I think poorly designed games like Dragon's Crown and Hatred don't deserve to sell well really.
W
Then wouldn't people bitch about censorship? It's not like anything in this game will warrant an AO rating (I think). Just release the game as is and fans of this game will buy it.

That's literally one of the only reasons why games like those sell incredibly well. Controversy generates $$$.
There isn't anything poorly designed about DC, and it shouldn't be lumped together with Hatred.
WHY
Just let devs make whatever games they want. If there's an audience, it should exist. There's no reason to fight to get it banned, even if you're offended by it.
I love them just for using THAT character in an official tweet replying to people who were offended.
No fucks.

Just release the damn game in the west ffs, most people wouldn't give a fuck.
The controversy would earn them more sales. It did Dragon's Crown good, selling 1 million units worldwide propelling it to Vanillawares best selling game. A niche game would not have sold that well otherwise, as one of the last last gen games, weeks before the PS4 launched. I too would've skipped the game if there wasn't a squabble about its art style.

Lots of people. People just don't do it here because it usually gets you banned.Well I won't be buying from them again lol
Who actually using "SJW" in a non ironic way?

Hahaha, what? You have no idea what kind of game Dragon's Crown is outside of it's "controversy" do you?
