ESRB Rating Forces Cleavage-Filled Game's Cancellation

According to the site, they're high school girls, not college girls. So it's underage girls ripping each other clothes off.

And that's a problem because...?

Remember, it's the US. The only western nation that is more sexually oppressed than the Middle East. Where I can blow up the world with blood and guts everywhere and show it on TV, but the instant someone sees a bare ass I have to either digitize it or cut it out of the movie.

When comparing to countries that kill you if you walk outside without a male sibling or are not completely covered in a garbage bag, US is a nest of liberals.

Lol, orly? Garbage bag? Kill you if you walk outside without a male sibling? Hyperbole much?

He's not using a hyperbole. It's somewhat offensive that he said garbage bag though, but really I don't give a damn that what they wear is slightly more revealing than a garbage bag.

Fair enough, but we are pretty oppressed. I remember that line implying we were the second worst (middle east being worst) instead of saying something so unfounded.

hey this adds more reason to take action but due to gun control this is all i can say ....it's FUCKING BULLSHIT !!! also if there's no *beaver shot or tube snakes* why is it such a big deal ?,as 4 the boobs and butts ,everyone has them of course some are nicer than others , and yeah i know most guys don't have titties lol

Exposing even more of the female anatomy (legs, breasts, partial buttocks)

Wait so we get full breasts but only partial buttocks?
That sucks.

Apparently we don't even get that. They did say they won't bring the game from Japan due to the rating. *sigh* Well the gameplay probably wasn't any good anyway.

This...Game...Looks...AWESOME!

Our Puritan forefathers sure did screw us over.

Founding Father Benjamin Franklin would like a word with you.

Has anybody here seen the Ikki Tousen anime? You should be glad that this game won't come out in the US.

 

[Simriel]

The real question here is, Will it be out in the U.K?

 

[Meado]

I'll try to contain my disappointment over this.

I have to wonder to those trying to bash the ESRB, is that is probably the one thing allowing games that do get rated M from even coming out. If you'd rather just let censorship take over and games you enjoy either having to seriously scale back whats put in them, or not even coming out at all, then by all means, lets just abolish ESRB. Heck while we are at it, let's just remove the movie ratings system too.
ESRB has been doing a fairly good job in my eye, and if we are deprived of one game whose main focus seems to be something really close to rape in my eye, because of the action of its publisher over an ESRB rating, then I am all the happier for it.

I agree with what some one said before, they probably rated it as is to keep 14 year olds from just sneaking off and purchasing it.

 

[Glerken]

Look at how quick these open-mined, accepting liberals are to criticize cultures they disagree with.

Since when were the ESRB open minded liberals?

So you can buy hardcore porn in america but not computer games with partial nudity? -_-

There is an age restriction for hardcore porn too, but in some states it's 21, not 18.

How did that answer my question?

The company who was trying to get in here obviously want to make a profit. There isn't a huge market for AO rated games because they'd have to be sold elsewhere than at Target and Walmart. They could have translated everything and released it anyways, but they aren't.

You can always by the Japanese version.

Sex is not as bad as violence.

But violence does not get this treatment.

Therefore, the ESRB is in the wrong with its preferences here.

Also, everything all you Americans said about Australia's restrictions, can now be said about your nation. So shut the Hell up about it, for the last time.

the US lives a double life. They do shtuff like this, but there's pron -EVERYWHERE-
