Aram Ingram Fingal American McGee 6 hrse Care to share your thoughts on this American? WEEKLY SPECIAL Former IGN And GameSpot Journalists Threaten Play-Asia For Supporting Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3 Apparently supporting a game thats no langer coming to a region because the publisher wants to avoid all the poltical nonsense surrounding gender politics. BLOGJOB.COM Jef Sloan likes this Ameican McGee Sa.. let's frst deine the arena in which this is taking place. Westem game journalists in the westem game market. Their wnting and reviews telil us A game in which the play e uses a sniper rifle to shoot a brown person in the nuts at 1000 y ards is OKk. Simulated theft of cars is OK. virtual nuclear warfare is grooy. Chainsawing people into bits of hamburger? Cool Basically violence, and more to the point, viollence primariy against men is OK A game in which the player controls scantily clad women playing volleybal? Well, thats bad. Cant have Gara ban you or blacklist you if you buy it, support it, or sel t. Because... reasons That's about the shape of t, right? Honestiy, I get tired of commenting on this sort of thing Atways back to the $ame question abat fee巛pression and a free market. If one thing's alright and the other's not- who decides? Why? Where's the Big Book of Moral Correctness" these people are reading from? Here in China they have that "Big Book -its called the Ministry of Cuture. They decide what can and cannot be on TV, in games, books, music, etc They ensure content creators never show more than the approved suface area of skin Any poltical or sodial commentary in y our entertainment products they check against the party line Can you guess how else they use that here in China? Ultimat ely, these peaple in the US who are calling for censorship in any form) are working towards a goal shared by govemments and corporations arournd the globe control of free speech The tools" for the suppression of free expression these actimsts acquire today will be the same tools used against them by the government the next time they question some fights issue or corporate action They are digging their own graves and ours too So, my thought... tree boob l destroy freedom of expression Obviously. Youve been wamed 211 6hrs Aram Ingram Fingal Thats a pretty grim picture man G Alex Hernandez Becareul if they bounce even a ittle bit it could setoff a chain reaction of angy westerm game journalists. or worse yet! a so called female (not) video gamer int o the mix Aram Ingram Fingal Looks like its backfiring lo 6 hrs Aram Ingram Fingal Other publishers are getting in on the fun 6 hrs American McGee replied- 1 Reply Finn Cross This is how ights break out nowadays 6 hrs Alex Hernandez THE CHAN REACTION IS GOING BACKWARDSI feel as if theyl piss thems elves silly Alex Hemandez replied 3 Replies 5 hrs Kris Kama ruddin What a stupid thing to be angry about Jason Helton As a gaming journaist, I feel part of my job is to keep my personal teelings out of my work, aside from my opinions of the ment of a specitfic game. It my edtor assigns it to me, I review it, re gardless of where it came from I was assigned Say a No Uta an erotica wirtual novel that was quite disturbing at times. Certainly not my cup oftea, and not something I would ever purchase. However, I did my job, and wrote one of my best pleces (at least according to my editor) As a journalist even one covering ideo games, there should be a certain level of objectMty. I may not lke what a company does, and I can choose not to purchase from them, but to blacklist them professionally is iself unprofessiona American McGee replied 3 Replies 5 hrs Pete Ammon Now come on Jason you're doing game journalism wrong Its al about favourable coverage for sex, supporting devs that share y our political views and hating your readers guts and telling them to 뎌ss oft LOL Evan Scurry Well guess Il import a copy just to spite them yep simply to spite them No other reas on what soever simply out of spite, only reas on at al 4 hrs Aram Ingram Fingal replied 1 Reply American MoGee Well, this all resulted in my being blocked by mutple people on Twitt er and haing people scream dont buy games from @americaanme gee·at me My faarte was Tmthrowing all my Alice games in the trash. Ok、 but you already paid for them, so? what's interesting to me is that tese same Alice tans are angry me for supporting the free ex pression of another devel oper (who dares put boobs in a volley ball game) dont seem to understand how this free marketitee speech works Alice almost ddnt make it to retail sheves. It was the first M-Rated game EA ever published, d was neaty labeled-AO" (Adit Or y) by the ESRB A former EA CEO famously held it up duning an exec meeting and said This is NOT the kind of game EA will be known for makingt Looking back, in a world of crotch-sriping, meat shower Medal of Honor, this al seems quaint There were those who resist ed the idea of Alices antagonist being a psychopath pedophle、m-went too tz" The voice actor who played Bumby asked not to be credt ed for fear of association with such 눼le character Good on EA for haing the outs to fund and publish a game wth such a powertul and provocative story Do we really want to live in a wold where atists are told what they can and cannot creat e? t's a simple question- wth only two possible answers: Yes or No. Iy ou support free expression then you must support ALL free ex pression. The other way leads to a slippery slope, which history has shown courtless times leads to a Very Bad Place. Either we alow room for expression with the potential to impact us emotionally sometimes negatively, or we sanitize and censor every time someone feels uncomfortable. You simply cannot have it both way s American McGee replied- 5 Replies 3hr Gaddiel Astacio Extremely stupid thing. My feeling these days is that groups like SJW need to be disbanded and banned as they Iive to incite and cause more problems than what they profess to be fghting against 3 hrs Edited Nina Alcantar So ridiculous. Ive been looking forward to this game 3 hrs

"Nobody is gonna take your games away" 2015 Eiditiom "It's due to cultural differences. The West has it's own thinking about how to depict women in games media which is different from Japan. Speaking personally, ifcontroversy. It will, however, have to endure criticism it is a representation acceptable to the general people in Japan, I wouldn't be concerned about it in Japan. It's a difficult problem." "The decision, which is certainly morally correct, will undoubtedly help Nintendo avoid some unwelcome from some fans who will inevitably accuse it of censorship." MVCUK journalist Ben Parfitt on Nintendo's decision to remove the lingerie costumes in Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water Sony boss Shuhei Yoshida on Koei Tecmo's decision to not bring Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 to the West "We didn't make any change because of external influences. Those changes came up internally. We decided to remove that because we want the biggest possible number of people to play, and we don't want to have something in the game that might make someone uncomfortable." "That's honestly their decision, but yes, sadly, it has stopped us from localizing certain Compile Heart games. We don't want to censor anymore because we know that's not true to the original developed art" Idea Factory International President Haru Akenaga on Koei Tecmo's decision to not bring Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 to the West Street Fighter V producer Yoshinori Ono on the decision to remove Mika's buttslap from the game Source 1: archive.is/Xauf7 Source 2: archive.is/p5PmM Source 3: archive.is/i8Rs7 Source 4: archive.is/IZ4EP

Do it. HOWEVER I recommend you please try and get "Alice Madness Returns Complete Collection" (you can get it off GameStop's online store or Amazon, I got it from GameStop's store back in 2013). You will have to activate the game on Origin, but it is worth it because what you get with the Complete Collection is both Madness Returns and the 2000 original game, and the original has been updated to work properly on modern computers and play in widescreen resolutions.

So again, if you're gonna get Madness Returns, please buy the Complete Collection from Amazon or GameStop's online stores, it's well worth the $30, and well worth putting up with Origin.
