Wait, I see dismemberment in anime since I have memory, so, how is this any different?
It looks real in Call of Duty, anime is quite obviously unrealistic and cartoonish in depiction.

I find it weird that they allow things like rapelay games, and other dodgy "dating" sims that involve some form of abuse towards the women, but they get all worried about dismemberment?.

I thought they said they weren't going over the top with gore, or are the japs a little squeamish? In which case I lol at them.
They just have strict laws involving dismemberment.

OT: Two editions? Surely Dub V. Sub should just be a Language option...

Oh well.
you wouldn't think they would...

Fair enough if they are except....Black Ops is a part Vietnam part Merc set campaign and i'm fairly certain that makes it the Viatnemese or depending on which part of the border they're on, the Chinese that should be censoring this surely?

Shouldn't the Japenese have taken a stance with just about every other WW2 shooter also in that case, CoD: World At War actually had a lot of japanese fighting if i remember.

Its not the fighting, its the brutal killing and torture the Japanese did. For instance they had a competition in China amongst their officers to see who could cut off the most heads. Or on Chici Jima they ate the American POW's. Its happened in every war by every country but Japan was really corrupted in the late 1800-early 1900's when they changed into a military state. That kind of violence became institutionalized.

You cocky bastard I just laughed so hard at work my boss asked if I'm okay.

This does seem true, though tentacle "Porn" (I assume we can call it that) was created because you're not allowed to have a penis on screen in Japan. So they made a phallic object and well... You know how messed up it is.

I love how everything is censored in Japan, their governemtn and ratings board remind me of my mother covering my ears or eyes when so much as an ankle was shown or a bad word was said, screaming "You're too young, don't have your innocence destroyed!"

Took the words right out of my mouth. I never thought such a verdict would be passed in Japan, of all countries.
well japan is kind of bizarro america, where in media you can beat a woman to death with her severed leg as long as her clothing stays were it belongs. good i live in the middle between those, were common sense is still alive.

Well that's stupid. You have ultra-violent entertainment content like movies such as 'Ichi the killer' and very perverted porno games, and yet there is a degree of censorship for this game?
Difference being those things don't mind being 'X-rated'. The publishers of this game (Treyarch?) have been told to cut the dismemberment if they want it to have a general sale rating, they could opt not to comply but that'd get the game rated higher and affect sales. It's a decision on their part to open the game up to the highest market possible.
Treyarch=Developer
Square Enix= Publisher, and they likes their moneys

and I agree whole heartedly on your point, they want to open up the sales market, because the x rated ones are legally enforced whereas the lower ones are not.

OT: I thought square was smart... why don't they release both tracks on one disc?

Wow... This is coming from the same country that's making THIS game...

That doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to me...

In Japan? Really? But what about all the gory animes not to mention some damn explicit games that came out of Japan itself like the Sillent Hill series and even MGS 4 and isn't MGS: Rising full of dismemberment and people getting sliced to little very explicit pieces?
Oh well, if COD featured atleast one woman getting raped by a tentacle at some point it might have been more favourably viewd.
