Those damned puritan bastards :**(

Xenosaga is going to be CENSORED for its North American release [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/broken_heart.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img]

A love scene between a man and a young-looking robot near the end of the game is going to be cut.

Xeno* games have deep philosophical contents, and every game presents different discussions and moral considerations. In Xenosaga, one of them is how much "alive" are robots capable of having feelings, if they have the right to live, etc. They will be cutting a vital scene for this.

All because of those damned puritan bastards; I hope their holieth souls burn in their stupid hell. You can't even release a great Piece of Art in form of a game, they have to ruin it all with their stupid decency and morality bull shit.

I think the USA authorities should do something to stop all that puritan crap, besides, it gives a bad image of the USA in Europe, people laugh at puritans because they are soooooo lame and hypocrite.

I was going to get the US version of Xenosaga so I don't have to wait (plus ps2 developers are so stupid they don't care for 60 Hz option in European games), but now I think I'll wait for the European release, maybe it's not censored.

Prudes sucketh mightily.

Damn, I swear I hate them too. I mean there is so much BS they say, yet I bet they are some of the worst Americans. Stupid people. Let's drag them into the street and shoot them! Heh sorry a friend of mine used to say that.

OMFG!

Can you play European games on US PS2? If so I am SO getting the European version! That's just fucking stupid!

even i who am a prude meself am pissed ?__?;; PS2 is getting ghey

i want GGXX, looks mad nice and Age of Mythologies

Shini,d o u know if Ic an play European game on my US PS2 when In get it?

Bj's right! And PSO and Phantasy Star OCllection, and SUper MOneky b all 1 2 and Jr. and the other tons of games that I can't even metnion that are fan-fucking-tastic for GBA and GCN!

Or, play Wld Amrs 3, Suikoden 3, FFX, Kingdom Hearts, and Grandia Extreme!

BTW, whop's layed any of the above mentioned PS2 RPGs? Which should I play first? (excluding FFX,c oz I already ebat it)

Suikoden3 is at the top of my list, im just waiting for Star Ocean3 and Tales of Phantasia sequel for GC!! T_T

GTAVC for me that is all I have been playing lately.

I dont know, I dont know much about Europe games.

Wild Arms 3 is pretty good, and so is Suikoden 3. I never played Kingdom Hearts, and I didnt like Grandia Xtreme. Hate endless dungeons. &gt;_&lt;

Well I'm glad they didn't edit GTAVC.

I mean they could have taken a hella lot out of it.

Like the hookers, blood/gore, killing of law enforcement, drug use, cursing, etc.

YEA! GTAVC is mad worse than Xenosaga could ever be, and they edit xenosaga... thats ghey beyond measure

"Ok here is a guy killing cops and selling drugs and here is one kissing a robot, oh hell no we don't want to kiss a robot that could fuck with kids minds!"

Stupid people!

yea rly, wiseman was right about that theyre massively hypocritical...

This is good reason to stay home and play Metroid Prime/Fusion instead.

yea fusion is rly good!

WC3 and GGXX for me! XD

I dun think it's the puritans azlone, but instead Americans in general, what you guys over there think are Puritans, are essentially most Zmericans, Puritans are much worse thant normal prudes. Most average Americans are prudes to the rest of the world, so you really should blame it on Americans in general, not Puritans, cause I doubt they have any influence when it comes to games coming out

Well we got BMX XXX in America, I mean hell, there a naked chicks riding bikes! So I think some jackass got bored and decided to piss off people.

Also OCB that is one messed up comerical!

IRT Cav (PS2 is getting ghey): Yeah, you're right [img]frown.gif[/img] First they censor BMX XXX, then this...

IRT OCB: I think any love scene where an important character is involved is important. Besides, I don't even care if it's vital or not, I just don't want it out. That sucks. I know of such organizations, but the ones existing in Spain aren't as pissing and fucked up.
As for the xbox ad (also IRT Nevan), well, just look at where does it come from: micro$oft.
Oh and yes, Xenosaga will be definitely good, even if some suckers censor good stuff.

IRT Xellos: I see... I guess you're right, but real puritans being even worse than we think?? Hell, I'm starting to be scared!

Whoa-ho-ho! No need to explode over one small detail. I'm sure that they either make the scene if it's as vital as you say, or just remove it if it's not. And if they do remove it, you should be able to download it somewhere on the internet. Although i agree, it is stupid to find sex more morally wrong than killing a person with a gun, driving over the corpse and mouthing it off, probably while kicking it in the balls too.

But it's not because of "those damned puritan bastards", most countries has a company which makes sure that questionable images don't get to children. One of Britain's best works is stopping a pointless and sick Xbox ad. It had a baby being born, but instead of normally sliding out, it gets blasted off, like a from a cannon. Baby is flying through the air, and grows into old man really fast. The old man lands in a grave. Then it tells you to play more. No clips of the games, or even the games console. Stupid, pointless and worthy of being banned.

Besides, how do you know that you would not... ahh screw it. I've lost the point anyway. But i don't really care if i has the scene or not, it'll still be a good game.

this is 10X worse than editing BMX XXX ?__?U BASTARDS

Yeah, to msot eeryday Americans Cav's more like a pervert than a prude! That's about as good as I can describe it w/o other examples. Sad,ne?

CURSED AMERICANS! i AINT NO PERV! RAHHHHHHH!! &gt;O ... *looks at membership card to perv club* ... DAMN! &gt;_&lt;

IRT Xel: LOL, then you must be some sort of antichrist to them? [img]biggrin.gif[/img] j/k

LOL, butt he sad thign is that most do j/oa nd have porn, jsut are too afraid to admit it in public :/

If they edited GTA:VC then there would be NOTHING TO DO!

Micro$oft also bashes the GameCube in some ads. They do it because they know the GameCube, being the newest REAL console, is a better hardware; and it's selling better and better, when their tweaked PC thingy is already a failure in Japan, and it's starting to look so in Europe.

Micro$oft's number 1 rule in dealing with competition: Get rid of it.

LOL @ Shini's sig, cool!

so true so very very true lmao

IRT all comments about the ad: You think that ad is messed up, that's nothing compared to the DVD i got it on. The motto for Xbox (in Britain at least) is "See More, Hear More, Feel More, Play More". So what better way to represent this message than having a bunch of people, opening a box full of extra ears and eyes. The people pick up the eyes and ears, and quite happily put them on their head, arms and legs, dispite the massive amount of prejudece they are bound to get. Stop me if i'm wrong, but Micro$oft are completely SHIT at advertising!

I've been doing that for the pst month or so,but I need RPGs, and I shall hae them goddamnit!

BTW, how much % you got doen in MP/ I just got 76, anoother 24 to go for eprfect endign! XD

LOL @ Bj, but I have to play Grandia I (at least I won't play it on PSX/PS2 but on ePSXe)

I think we should all go on strike and only play Metroid Prime and other kick ass Nintendo games. Fuck anything on Sony or XB.

lmao... not when Star Ocean3 is over the horizon and i have yet to play Suikoden3

That's messed up that they are censoring Xenosaga. Whoever is behind it is a bunch of stupid bastards, Puritan or not. Like everyone already said, it's ok for people to play a game where you can beat people to death and run them over though.

I like GTA:VC all the way so I couldn't. Also there are only a few good games for XBox like Halo, and uh Halo, and soon Halo 2. Ok so two games good. Wow.

lmao, its a good game...not worht buying a XBOX over tho XP

You can have most xbox stuff on a PC anyways - they are PC games after all.

There are other good games for the Xbox: Blinx, Panzar Dragoon Otra, Spinter Cell (now coming Gamecube and PS2), and you can't forget Jet Set (Grind) Radio Future. I think the Xbox would be more sucessful, if Micro$oft didn't market the bloody thing. Anyway, those games are the reason i'm still getting an Xbox, only in about 5 years time, so it's cheaper.
