Xenoblade Chronicles X removes bust slider

[Sakitoshi]

What, you think this overblown outrage wouldn't exist if they had said at the beginning "Hey, we're gonna remove the bust slider, but it's okay, because we're telling you in advance?" No, because they're still telling you in advance that it's gone. You haven't bought the game yet. Contrarianism and/or perversion, that's what this boils down to.

I mean, perverts or not aside. If you are gonna say that basically you wont modify something then don't do it or say from the beginning that you are gonna modify something.
Let's put a hypothetical situation:
Seller: and this printer includes cartridges.
Customer: ok, I'll buy it.
But once the customer comes home and is ready to use his new printer he found out thr cartridged where empty.
Next day...
Customer: hey, the cartridges where empty.
Seller: well, I said the printer included cartridges but never said that has ink.

Wont you fell skrewed over in a situation like that??

You're seriously comparing being ripped off like that to Nintendo removing the ability to make chicks in a video game have either ungodly huge tits or nonexistent pancake tits, something that barley effects the game?

Sure, I would, but that's completely different from the situation at hand. You're saying that the game is literally empty because you can't give the main character big (or small) tits. There's also the fact that the game isn't even out yet. If you want a better hypothetical:
Seller: and this printer includes cartridges.
Customer: ok, I definitely want to buy it, and will do so once it's actually released.
But once the customer comes home and gets on the interwebs, he finds out that, while he thought the cartridges would have the image of an anime character with huge tits on it, he found out the cartridge had an anime character with just average tits.
Next day...
Customer: Hey, my waifu has average tits.
Seller: ...and? You're not going to buy this printer just because of that?

I was referring to the part where they said "no content is being cut due to region/censorship issues." not the bust slider itself.
Next time I'm gonna read between lines what Nintendo says. This is clearly a region/censorship issue and is being modified, not cut. Nice one Nintendo, nice one.

But enough of this shit, I want to make myself clear and say that I'm very disappointed mainly by the fact that they do it even after saying they will not. The cut/modified content can be restored and someday I'll enjoy the game as originally intended, but my image of Nintendo will not be restored.

Thank you!!!!

Just changing her age to 18 wouldn't seem like a better idea, may as well modify her body to look like an 18 year old.

You do know that not every adult female isn't full of curves and tallness, right? My wife, a 29 year old woman, is barely 4'11" and could pass for a Disney Channel character at times. Just saying... The character's design in this case has nothing to do with it. This is just blatant censorship, nothing more.

 

[Bladexdsl]

Just as ridiculously stupid as removing the option because why not.

Nintendo has a solid track record of censorship, that's true, but about this game in particular they said "no content is being cut due to region/censorship issues." so seeing that Nintendo is doing it again even though they said that this would not be the case. I feel offended for the false promise and the censorship itself.
What is the better way to discourage them?? well, not giving them my money is a good one.

O noz weebos can't make a 13 year old looking doll character have FUGE massive tits in an rpg

gaming as we know it is OVER!!

I swear, if this actually makes people rustle their jimmies, I wonder how people would take it if porn suddenly became banned XD

I know but to shut those moaners that would be the way to go on about it.

I honestly can understand people getting upset over porn being banned, but this is just ridiculous.

I agree, people will get offended at any possible form.

Remember that map in MW2 which had Islam's writing? The Arabic players got angry for seeing that but all the while they were perfectly okay playing the game in which the objective is to kill people.

It's always shitty to see censorship. It's entirely unnecessary and serves no purpose.

I'm genuinely surprised there isn't a feature that ties parental controls to optional censorship in games. That makes a lot more sense than just shitting on something needlessly.


No plans to buy the game btw, i'm just not ignorant and retarded. Censorship is crap.

Parental controls only work when parents pay attention/care. With parents nowadays buying their 8 year old CoD and other clearly inappropriate games, it won't do much. Heck, it'll probably be just as effective as that "You must be 18 or older to view this website. Are you?" message. I'm sure 90% or more of the times people clicked no was by accident.

...and?

Age ratings are also only for parents who give a shit, yet we still have them despite almost no one using them.
It's still a better method to only censor content for the audience who "needs" it. Young adults and up don't need companies telling them what they can and can't see or do in a game by removing or changing features from the original game.
Also while i'm on the subject, cultural differences are irrelevant. If you're playing a Japanese RPG, you likely are interested in how that culture does RPGs. Forced censorship is not consumer friendly in regards to videogames. If they think some gamers might not like it, optional censorship to the rescue. But really it's hardly needed.

My point was more so that censorship is 99% of the time used to get a lower age rating or to make a game more "friendly" for younger audiences. Thus optional censorship tied to parental controls would be a great feature as opposed to shitting on a game with unnecessary changes.

This isn't going to affect me buying the game or anything but I'm really fucking sick of games getting censored. I wish they would just give us the damn game the way it was originally created. Its not like this kind of shit is even mandatory, its an option. If someone doesn't want to edit it they can just ignore the slider. removing features in games like this is retarded and completely unnecessary. When they change characters ages, modify their models for censorship, and remove references it removes some of the character from the original game. If you want to give people the option to turn it off fine, but completely removing it to appease some soccer moms for a game that doesn't even appeal to the mainstream demographic is fucking stupid.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is rated CERO C in Japan.
My theory: These changes were made to ensure a rating of T in North America (and possibly other regions). A more restrictive rating, especially the M rating, means lost sales. The T rating is most similar to CERO C.

The game is 12+ in Europe so they tried as much as possible to tone it down.
