post the awoo one

Christians

It distracts players from all the gore

>you can see her calf

lewd

I would protect that ass

Getting a lower age rating, which is kinda smart to be fair from a business stand-point. I don't like it though but I don't really care either.

You should always censor stuff like this

it makes it hotter

I don't think it does in most countries on most platforms

A lot of censorship is to just get a bigger potential consumer base, lower ratings

Bigger publishers who aren't struggling, or have their user base already don't bother

Excluding pornography there's female nudity and sex anyways, GOW and the witcher come to mind

Male nudity is probably from last of interest, you still get stuff like satan's 20 inch cock in dante's inferno

Most of the time it's cleavage and skimpy clothing that's censored, not outright nudity. And that's because the mainstream industry has a similar mentality that most western industries have. They would prefer to keep thing uncontroversial and safe even if it means ruining the artistic value a product has. Better to mess with the product than have to do damage control or for shit to reach media in a poor light.

As for developers specifically there's this mentality that video games need to "grow up" and act more mature. To many, this means censoring shit because it's offensive or upsetting to some. For others it's an effort in making things more respectful by tearing apart the initial vision for the product. It's one big misconception of what is mature and what is taken seriously. Add to it a lot of criticism for anything even remotely resembling sexism, racism, or prejudice and you have many who feel like censoring stuff is way simpler.

Because if there's nudity then parents won't buy the games for their kids and everybody knows video games are for children. Violence is a-ok though

Because not everyone is a manchild who wants entire screen covered with TITS SEX SPERM ASSES CUMSHOTS FUCKING.
Adult people just skip the cringeworthy sections anyway.

why do you associate nudity with manchildren? that's worrying

why did you even make this thread you stupid fucking faggot

its already fucking obvious why censorship happens

japan is the ONLY country in the world where it is okay to have sex with little girls. yeah its 2d but my point is that the rest of the world doesnt see it that way.

not even france is fucked up to the point of having stuff like that. before anyone mentions germany, unteralterbach was a one time thing

Video games as a medium is still very young. It still needs to mature much like film has before nudity can be widely accepted.

>not even france is fucked up to the point of having stuff like that.

Hey !

>cringeworthy
You need to fuck off and die in a fire.

If you actually think video games are on the same artistic level as film or books you are mentally ill and there is no cure.

mais c'est vrai, je suis sur qu'il n'y a pas des jeux ou on peut baiser les enfants

Because nobody else gives a fuck.
Normal people watch porn or play games, they don't try to combine both into one autistic mess.
Vidya needs nudity like it needs microtransactions and patent protections.

This, Senran Kagura is way hotter without the nude mod.

I'm not sure why exactly.

disapointed, expected more ritsus

Because nudity is unnatural.
God bless.

nudity isn't always about sex and jacking off

yes goy, the christians are your enemy

welp good job COMMIEFOENIA you progressive cucks. Why do liberals want to be raped by muslims so bad?

>being this well adjusted and comfortable in your own skin
How do you do it user?

Or does it just come from being an adult person?

Marketing. You can't sell a game to children if it has boobs in it because America has pants on head retarded backwards morals. Gore? OKAY FOR CHILDREN. Boobs? NOT OKAY FOR CHILDREN.

I love that killing is more acceptable in America than sexual openness. What a fucked up place.

This video manages to sum it up.

Yeah, sometimes you can pepper it into an otherwise normal talking scene to give an illusion of mature storytelling, à la The Witcher 3, Game of Thrones

Surrender monkey with a shitty opinion - what else is new?
You are!

guess what dipshit, i speak five languages! not every american is as stupid as you

you need to be eighteen to post here

It won't change until companies stop being fucking pussies and actually start marketing their M rated games at adults. As it is, companies slap an M rating on their game and continue to market it to children because they'd rather make more money rather than have any kind of artistic integrity.

Once you stop being a teenager, the hormone storm stops and blood flows back from your genitals to your brain.

>If you actually think video games are on the same artistic level as film or books you are mentally ill and there is no cure.

Art is subjective. Whether they're on the same "level" is irrelevant.

What REALLY matters is how it is perceived at large. So far, there has only been two generations of people in the world who have grown up with video games. At this point in film's history, all film was heavily censored and mettled with by studios and officials in order to avoid controversy. There was no rating for a film other than the approval by the mpaa, and all films had to follow a strict guideline. Luckily, gaming has evolved a bit faster than this, but there is still more to be done.

there is literally nothing wrong, harmful, unnatural or bad about nudity

Remove this kebab

B-BUT T-THINK ABOUT THE KIDS!

christians are a form of jewish

I'm not at all religious but I'm considering becoming Christian just for access to the pure Christian woman.

because video games are for children you fucking retard

If you speak them as well as you type in English, you might as well be mute.

BUT IF MY KIDS SEE BOOBS OR SEX THEY MIGHT HAVE QUESTIONS AND I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THAT!!!

WHAT IF THEY START TO HAVE IDEAS ABOUT BEING SEXUALLY OPEN AND/OR TALKING ABOUT SEX AS IF IT'S A NORMAL THING THAT EVERYONE DOES!?

WE CAN'T HAVE THAT.

what's wrong with children seeing nudity? they see it in any art gallery or statues

or GTA IV

And when movies were new they were seen as "for children" as well.

How long will it take for people to wake up and understand that all forms of art are for everyone, and that by limiting what you can do in a medium all it does it hurt the consumers by limiting our options.

People who want to control other's lives are fucking stupid and annoying. If you don't want your children playing a game with boobs in it, don't fucking buy it for them. DO YOUR JOB AS A PARENT.

I'm sick of suffering due to the choices of poor parents.

As someone who lives in a very christian country praised (by retards) for "traditional values", I can say with high degree of confidence that they aren't even half as pure as you'd expect them to be.

You'd have more luck finding a pure gay man. I'm not joking here.

...

I'm Spanish and I see kids running around naked in the beach all the time. Teenagers are a bit prudish but once they hit 18 they do topless like the rest and nudist beaches are fucking everywhere. Our movies, as bad as they might be, aren't afraid to show full-body nudity.

It's kinda jarring to see the stigma American media has against any form of sexual display.

>GTA IV
Shit dude the illusion of mature storytelling was the entire game
