Capcom for sale

[KingVamp]

I don't remember that happening on the PSP, but if you say so.

Looks like something Capcom did. You have to kill it a specific way.

My point is, Nintendo is PC-crazy, especially NoA, and they haven't done anything to instill my faith in them as far as mature content is concerned. Even recently the western releases of Bravely Default had altered costumes. Long story short, games on Nintendo platforms are censored, especially in the west.

Because

Spoiler

Totally ruin the game.

Also, they don't censor everything. Link

I second the SEGA suggestion, Capcom content should stay multiplatform if possible.

Not that I disagree to this.

Kelbi *cannot* be killed in MH3U - there is no "special" way to do it. They fall over stunned, you carve them (which makes no sense as that would kill the animal) and then they run off, that's how it always works. It didn't use to on the PSP, so I'm blaming Nintendo's censorship department because it only makes sense. Neither this nor different costumes ruin the game, but they're unnecessary alterations and I dread to think how Nintendo would tackle something more explicit.

In any case, Capcom staying multiplatform is still the more preferable option, so I'm down with that.

mightymuffy 10-14 year old examples do not make a case - Nintendo's *recent* attitude is PC-friendly. I guess we'll see if that changed after Bayonnetta 2's release. As a side note I'll add that a chibi art style does not denote a young age of the character, but that's besides the point - it's merely an example, and one that I didn't particularly mind, I'm merely outlining the censorship trend.

Foxi4, are you sure? Link

I am absolutely sure - you cannot kill a Kelbi in MH3U on the 3DS, whatever you do they are always stunned. I have longswords powerful enough to take them in a single hit and I'm yet to see a single one that was actually killed.

EDIT: To elaborate on the link you sent, you *can* KO the monster with a blunt weapon, but in that case it will get up and continue being a valid mob. If you kill it, the Kelbi looks as if it was stunned, gets up and runs off while gradually vanishing. The Kelbi has both states, but *no* death animation, you can't "kill" it.

So what does that make them, Scrapcom?

 

[McHaggis]

If Nintendo buys them out, they'll just die. And they probably won't anyway.

I'd just hope for Sega probably. Just some third party publisher so all the consoles can get Capcom titles.

Setting aside the first statement for a moment, the second would be a win for everyone, so I'm down with that. In any case, Sega has a good working relationship with Nintendo, so I don't think much would change from how things are now. Sega might be a little strapped for spare cash after that Atlus purchase though, and a lot of cash would be needed, especially given all the high profile IPs Capcom own. I do think Nintendo would be more likely to revive Megaman than Capcom are at the moment, and the Wii U would certainly benefit from some of Capcom's more mature titles as exclusive games like Devil May Cry or Resident Evil. I doubt they'd try stifle Capcom and make the games less mature, either. I guess Bayonetta 2 (keeping the 'M' rating from the first installment) would be the proof in the pudding, as Nintendo have had so much input with that it may as well be a second party game anyway.

Whatever happens, Nintendo's priority should be making sure Sony, Microsoft, and possibly EA don't get Capcom. Monster Hunter has moved a lot of hardware in the past and I don't think the Wii U could survive losing another big third party right now.

So what does that make them, Scrapcom?

"In 2014 a crack developer unit was sent to an auction house by a board of investors because their games are shit as of late. These developers promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the C-Team."

Oh, you are right, but do you have any proof Nintendo did it and not Capcom? It's weird to censor that and not censor the others. It's usually known when Nintendo does it.

...So everyone else should suffer because "muh Nintendo needs Capcom titles"? Why not let a third party whose responsible take them over so everyone gets Capcom titles?

Hmm... that's not really what I said. You might want to take another shot at reading my post, rather than knee-jerk replying with some trollish comment. If it's really so tl;dr that I need to summarise it for you, I said that I think a 3rd party like Sega buying them would be a win for everyone, and I only mentioned reasons that Nintendo would benefit from purchasing them or ensuring they don't get snapped up by someone that's likely to prevent their IPs from returning to Nintendo consoles.

It just seemed you favored a Nintendo buyout because they'd benefit from Capcom's "mature" titles and would revive Megaman.

Most of the censoring fault lies with NoA, heck, Fire Emblem Awakening had that stupid censor of Tharja's butt (the hottest chick in the game btw), whereas NoE didn't censor it.

As for the Bravely Default censoring, people might sugar coat it all they want, saying that it made sense since the characters were minors and blablablah, if they censored it though, why would they also change the ages of the characters? The english version of the game had older characters, most of them over 18, so censoring on top of that was pretty lame (not to mention that the super perverted bikini doesn't become all that perverted in the end, making it look like the characters are all way too conservative.

Anyway, I have my doubts that capcom will be bought by anyone anytime soon, they are a pretty huge company and they'll most likely be much more expensive than Atlus was (heck, Street Fighter alone is a huge cashgrabber).

tl;dr: I want sluttier characters!

Like holy shit who cares if some skin is covered, this is a game not porn.

I didn't say that. D<
They're chibi characters, a few extra clothes or less won't make a dif. I was just pointing it out, I played the game when it came out without reading anything about it (to avoid spoilers), however once I got to the part where Edea decided to wear the bikini (that no one else dared to) in order to be bait, what was shown and what had been previously describe didn't really make sense, while after looking at the japanese one, it did make sense.

Sluttier characters with a personality to match are always welcome

Also, nudity does not equal porn.

But it's like who cares if characters wear slightly more clothes. It's a video game.

Censorship is bad, even minor stuff, stop supporting censored media so we don't get more of it.

Censorship has its purposes at times, not all of it is bad. I'm not going to get into a philosophical debate here but my point is that complaining about censorship just to see a little more skin is pretty stupid.

Though I usually go in for the tireless enemy of censorship side of things I dare say you missed the point.

 

[Foxi4]

No proof whatsoever other than the fact that the change miraculously popped up when Monster Hunter switched from Sony platforms to Nintendo platforms. I don't work for Capcom or Nintendo, but I'm not five - it's Capcom who had to adjust the game to Nintendo standards, not the other way around.

I still can't believe that I spent the afternoon arguing about killing goats.
