Wait, but everyone is dead in Left4Dead so wouldn't the four fingers thing...make sense? The group is unlucky that they've been dropped into a zombie(infected) apocalypse and everyone is dead(dead).
Also, with how bloody Fat Princess is we could say they all just had a finger chopped off by waking up in the morning.
@ThursdayNext: Imagine if you will, a wall, attach the bungie rope to the wall, and yourself.
position the donkey away from you, the further away, the more EXTREME you are.
now run at the donkey, hay in hand, and feed that badboy. once you've done this, your going to slip over and be dragged across the hard stone coated floor.
You'll wish you'd have rememberd to lube both yourself, and the floor with Mayonaise in order to glide back with ease.
(also the mayo makes the run toward the donkey that much more EXTREME!) #fatprincess
@Blore07: Well, it went a little something like this...
Firstly one should note that Scribblenaut donkeys don't eat hay, so I substituted a carrot.
Having placed the mayo on the floor, attached the carrot to the Bungee Cord and the cord to a wall, I placed the ass a fair distance away.
I picked up the carrot and ran towards the donkey. Unfortunately, in my enthusiasm I neglected to tidy up the mayo jar, which I promptly booted in the direction of the donkey. The jar struck the donkey, hard, causing the jar to disintegrate and sending the donkey into a murderous rage.
As the donkey charged at me full pelt I had to think fast so I launched the carrot at the donkey with all my might. The carrot struck the donkey on the nose before springing back on the bungee cord, causing the donkey to flee in terror. At this point the donkey was conflicted, on the one hand, it wanted me dead, on the other it was now a carrotophobe. I seized the initiative and removed the carrot from the bungee cord, brandishing it at the murderous mule so as to make good my escape.
I think the issue in Japan is not with violence in general, but with anti-social violence, with violence involving innocent bystanders. A telling example for this mindset is that on a Famitsu cover depicting one of the GTA, the traditional fox was not the main character, but a cop!
Japan is a strange nation of contradictions... you'd think they censor this stuff to protect their citizens from the horrors of human depravity...
Yet lolicon is perfectly acceptable in Japan (which is basically animated pedophilia) and so it the sale of sex toys alongside childrens toys.
Games like Rapeplay which certainly pushes the boundaries of acceptability even in more liberal countries is A-OK in Japan!
So it seems that sexual deviance is accepted but even the most comedic and slapstick of violence is censored? Even though the blood is going to feature in Fat Princess, the censoring of other games strikes me as a little... odd.
@sazzrah: A prime example of why ANY censorship is bad. Cultures vary, personal views vary. If someone doesn't like something, it should be banned. They should just WALK AWAY.
Anyone know what the CERO (Japanese version of ESRB) rating is for Fat Princess?
Was the Gore free version at TGS shown specifically because it was an all ages venue? Or was there an age restriction for entry to TGS, but CERO was unhappy because it was viewable by the general public?
I am suddenly interested in how Japanese Decency laws apply to games, or games viewed by the public for that matter.
@Patient: Yeah, come to think of it that's a pretty weird regulation if true. Did every game demo'ed at TGS have blood removed? I have to imagine that wasn't the case.
@Rachel Fogg: Amazingly enough, Ninty actually thought they'd get praise from parents for forcing the removal of blood. Not so fast there. (They got tons of complaints from PRANETTS for removing the option)
And then when the SEGA sold tons more, they thus made an aboutface and added in blood for MK2.
That change didn't stop them from literally covering some of the enemies' bare asses in FFVI (otherwise known as Final Fantasy 3 here). :P
Because personally I know women that will PROVOKE situations to get into physical altercations (Why? I dunno) as well as women who do NOTHING to deserve it...it's kinda a lose lose situation.
Granted, 'civilly and legally' you shouldn't hit ANYONE, man or woman. But if a woman threatens you or continues to assault you in some manner, then do everything you can to keep her back. Or as Chris Rock says.
@Zorantor: Nah, all the blood would be rendered client-side rather than server-side. Pretty sure for example that a fair few games with ragdolling simply leave it to the client to decide where they end up if someone dies, otherwise the physics calculations end up too taxing on the server - although that could be more for older games. But the whole thing with blood would just be a simple texture change (red --> transparent), much like if you enabled sillygibs in TF2.

Bungie rope, Mayonaise and hay are all you need, you dont even need a donkey! An ugly neighbourhood kid would suffice. #fatprincess

Remember when that game came out and the SNES version had spit while the SEGA had blood...thus making it cooler?
I...don't know where I'm going with this...I had a brain fart.

I remember that on the news and they were talking about Ninty MK was the safe and wholesome version compared to the mature SEGA MK version..
ROFL! I never knew about FFIII (VI) until like...years afterward when I played the original and said, 'Dear heavens that's an ass!'
I did in fact say that. LOL!

I also think they should make it mandatory for all men to play 4 hours of a violence ridden FPS per day.
Then, all women have a mandatory "listen to Sean Conery's voice" for a hour a day.
The combine increase in male testosterone levels, and women "OMG IT'S SEAN CONERY" level will probably fix their population problem.
If that doesn't, nothing will.
09/30/09
Sir, I like your thinking and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Listening to Sean Conery's voice for an hour? Hell yea.

Damn these decent games being exclusive to a console I'd never buy!
09/29/09
That would be unfortunate, as I've got friends from all over, and it would be a little annoying not to be able to play with them all in the same game.
On the same token, though, chat is pretty important to this game, and there is the issue of a language barrier.
09/29/09
Anycase, if I remember correctly you can turn off the blood and gore for yourself in the options in the Western version.
