Somehow, I want both that game and that slice of pizza.
Maybe there will be a Collector's Edition, including that very pizza!
I really don't know how to feel about this.
I don't mind video games tackling more adult content in a serious manner, In fact I believe that it is necessary for the medium of gaming to grow. If handled in a truly mature and non-exploitative way something like this could help lead to more respect being given to gaming as an art form.
on the other hand it is coming from Japan, don't get me wrong I LOVE JAPAN, from anime to video games to Godzilla to Japanese cinema I love Japan. But as Moviebob once said (I can't remember if it was on this site or the GameOverthinker) " Japan, if you can think of it, we can think of it being Fucked by an octopus." I may be misquoting slightly, but you get the idea Japan has a bit of a reputation of having lets say a stranger then most westerners view on sexuality (anyone who has seen Bible Black or almost any other hentai can agree). this aspect of Japan's culture could end up shooting the whole mature sexuality in gaming in the foot. Remember the controversy behind the game Rapelay? well as I have been lead to believe Rape is a very popular collective fantasy over in Japan which does not translate well over in the US.
anyways this game will most likely never make it over to the states. which is a shame non the less because that add makes me really want to at least try the game out but who knowns it might make it over,the Megami Tensei games do have a good amount of fans the states.
Also now really really REALLY want Pizza.

Dammit! Ninja'ed. Also, Japan, I really commend you for being able to make stuff that would potentially rile up the Moral Guardians somewhere else (i.e. America). *Is waiting to see the live-action version of the Gantz naked teleport*SachielOne said:
But isn't that somewhat of a generalization? After all, this is being made by Atlus, who has no such track record whatsoever. It's like me saying that all american films are stupid and racist because of Michael Bay; it just doesn't hold up. That said, I do agree with one aspect of your post: this will be an important game which will most likely have repercussions as to how sexuality will be portrayed in future games. If Atlus does go the way many people seem to assume by this meagre preview, it would be a tragedy indeed.ANImaniac89 said:
Still, I have every faith that this will be a memorable and quality gaming experience, as that is the only track record Atlus has.
This looks weird, overly suggestive, and creepy, and I'll still probably pre-order it once it has a confirmation date, like I will with Persona 5.

Agreed.
I do Have great hopes for this game being a step forward in gaming culture.
But when you have an ad the features an anime women with cheese dripping out of her mouth I can't help but worry

(Insert that one pizza image with the two girls from Code Geass and the pizza here)
I would be crushed if I start hearing that it is godly and won't be making it stateside or otherwise receive english localization.tony2077 said:
