MGS: Rising May Have Problems in Japan

[ad4m101]

soo there not that fussed with rape games, but dismemberment is a no go. huh

 

[Akalistos]

Ha, I can't imagine what the game'll look like without it. I hope that they aren't too prissy to not allow you to cut watermelons in half, at least.

If the trailer of E3 showed dismemberment, there a large possibility that the game will have them when release. They probably use Bloodline for the Japanese audience.

 

[DigitalSushi]

What!? Japanese films are full of dismemberment. This can't be true.

Its realistic dismemberment that they aren't allowed to show, cartoon stuff is fine.

I'm not sure what its like now but years ago vagina's were also banned on film, which is why they started to draw their porn and why a dark seedy underground porn industry was made with snuff and rape scenes.

They don't have that much of sexual taboo there. How do i know that? I followed, a few years back, the journal of a American teacher sended to Japan as a exchange Program. He posted all kind of stories, some about his daily life or his student. Here a sip for your enjoyment directly taken from his archives.

I'm assigned to three different Japanese middle schools. The grade levels are ichinensei, ninensei, and sannensei. These translate to "1st years," "2nd years," and "3rd years," and are equivalent to American 7-9th grades. So the kids are about 12-15 years old. The ichinensei are just beginning to learn English. So this means they know nothing. Well, they know "Good Morning" and "I go to school by bike" but that's about it. Some of them don't even know that.

You know what's kind of funny though? Some kids can't yet say "Good morning" but damn near all of them can ask if I have a big dick. Or "bigu dikku" in Engrish.

You see, Japan's an island no bigger than California, and information about the rest of the world is filtered. There are so few foreigners here, their only impressions of things outside Japan are from the media. And to be honest, they don't really give a damn about anything other than America. So try to imagine a country where the national perception of you is created by American movies, music, and MTV. When you stop crying and shaking at the sheer horror of that thought, I'll be here waiting.

On the days I'm not avoiding that question, I'm avoiding them actually trying to grab it. I kid you not, I have to play Dodgedick with Japanese Jr. High kids on a weekly basis. Age, gender, doesn't matter, they all want a stab at it. The boys are more persistent though. I had one boy grab for it, and when I said, "No!" he put his hands together and said, in English, "Please!" Oh hell no. Another 12-year-old boy kept grabbing at it, and when I told him, "No!" he politely asked, "Why not?" I began to wonder if there wasn't some cultural more I didn't understand. So I said clearly, "Age 10 years and become female since birth, then we'll talk." His solution was to ask the girl sitting next to him to trade seats, grab my dick, and tell him about it.

That was so NOT what I meant.

I wish I could say it stops there. Let me introduce you to a game Japanese kids like to play called "Kancho." It's not as much a 'game' as it is kids clasping their hands together, sticking out their first fingers, and shoving them up your butt. I'm really not joking.

Just about any kid can be a Kancho Assassin. Even the sweetest little girl is liable to jam her fingers up your ass the second you turn around. This happened to one of my friends, which just goes to show - don't trust anyone. I'd say the little girls are the most dangerous because they have natural ways of lowering your defenses.
[...]
I was pretty lucky. Before I left the US, I bought a really big, really baggy pair of pants. The kids try to Kancho... they just have no idea where my ass is. It's beautiful! One kid tried and his fingers hit nothing but jean fabric and air. Yes! I've also become pretty good at dodging it. Much like Spiderman I have developed a Kancho Sense that tells me where and when it's coming before it comes. I parry fingers like a pro. My record is still 100% Kancho Free. Ha! America 2, Japan 0.

All in a day's work I suppose.

You can find it around the web, but his archives version for your leisure. Also, i check to see if it was real, the organisation that send teacher there so they can learn english. Its Legit. I'm sure those are real story, admitably a little disturbing at time.

 

[Irridium]

There's a fair amount of dismemberment in fighting mangas. Hell, I can think of a few times in Dragon Ball Z when people lost limbs and such. Maybe it's the photorealistic dismemberment that is the issue.

Yeah, Dragon Ball Z was full of people who lost limbs. Some of them could grow them back, like Piccalo, but yeah, for the most part lots of people lost an arm, leg, or both.

 

[Pendragon9]

Of course, leave it to Kojima and Microsoft to screw up a good idea.

Instead of a game with robots and infiltration, NOOOO it's gotta be all about the gore and violence.

Geez, I hate it when they ruin something which had some potential.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Maybe they change the blood to black, call it oil and change the plot in Japan so that Raiden is actually fighting robots? Keep it the same everywhere else though.

Calumon: WATERMELON CUTTING NO JUTSU~!

 

[Terramax]

Hang on a second, how did Sword of Berserk get rated then?

 

[Burst6]

As an Australian, I'm also hoping this makes it into my country. (Fingers crossed)

Not a chance in hell I would assume. Which is sad because it looks bloody awesome.

Hehe bloody awesome. I get it.

 

[Get Jiggy]

Of course, leave it to Kojima and Microsoft to screw up a good idea.

How is this microsoft's fault exactly?

My father worked in the Hotel industry and he and his colleagues confirmed that Japanese kids do play Kancho.

At one point it was so bad that even adults had to sign a form promising they wouldn't do it on foreign trips.

Also I heard that the Japanese squeeze your butt if they like you, but they don't do it to foreigners because of how we perceive sexual harassment.

 

[Baneat]

Chopping people up however you want looks like one of the most appealing things in this game, so taking that out could be pretty disappointing.
As an Australian, I'm also hoping this makes it into my country. (Fingers crossed)

That's absolutely disgusting.

which basically means he's got a secret project going on.

That wasn't actually a joke, its just the way we Australians emphasise things.

I can't talk about the but thingy ... All i was trying to say is that there's different taboo around the world and Japanese aren't afraid of sex.

BTW: Go read the Octopus entry. If that don't give you a chuckle, your soul is dead and buried.

How is this microsoft's fault exactly?

It's usually Microsoft's fault when a game has wayyy too much gore or violence. Nintendo is always the cause of kiddy games, and Sony tries wayy too hard with graphics.

That's what I feel anyway.
