However, that perception was only in the west, because these games have been on Nintendo systems in Japan and Asia for quite a while. If anything, they were always seen as the more family oriented and much more adverse to this kind of content on their system. I also find it kind of ironic that Nintendo is more open to these kinds of things in the west. I can understand their potential reasons more for games which have characters who do look like very young girls, but that's only a sub-category of the larger genre, and the percentage of games which actually use that style of artwork isn't as high as some people say, although I've seen many think that all these games are like that. But I think a lot of them don't really try to get localized in the west, because publishers seem to think that all westerners are puritan fanatics. That being said, there are certainly games that go far beyond what we've seen released in the west that still get released in Japan. They had a run of semi-successful titles such as these, and some people were referring to it as a system for people who only want porn simulators. Obviously, a lot of that doesn't match up with western sensibilities, so people can take offense, and as far as Sony goes in all this, I can see why they wouldn't want this image to become something against them. The games themselves tend to fall into a power fantasy setting, where assertion of one's desires is seen more as a good trait, than something to be shamed. Differences of culture, and the media which surrounds it. The 'girls' within the games are not really saying no, and some people seem to think the 'No means no' applies to the characters in context.when it's more that Japanese media tends to portray women as demure and supposed to say no.even when they mean yes.

Someone above called it an assault simulator, which is pretty much not true, because assault implies non-compliance from the receiving party.

When you look at them in context of the actual game, they questionable actions that can be taken usually seem more satire due to their utterly ridiculous scenarios. They're not usually to the point of being cheap perversion or simulated exploitation. Rainslacker 1719d ago (Edited 1719d ago )
