I always love the intro to Shadow the Hedgehog where someone animated Shadow pumping an SMG. It's always funny to look at, especially since they show him loading it correctly right before it.

What's funny is that model of gun DOES exist, it's just not very well known.

The best part of Mythra in Smash is that it’s a rare instance where pretty-much everyone agrees the censorship just made the design better.

[@_V.Va_]

Agreed. Most Xenoblade clothing designs are the tackiest shit.

[@_V.Va_]

@AT Productions No,the design was just shit. 🗿

[@NrettG]

@AT Productions I mean I would prefer to play a game in public without getting a side-eye

[@toagradius8856]

The more I learn about Xenoblade the more weirded out I get. In fuckin Xenoblade 3 they confirm that the protag from 2 ended up fathering children with the three main female leads, so now they’re all just housewives for him. Just why

[@GoldLight73]

@AT Productions It's not about being grossed out. It's about the nuance of character design. To give a more in-depth explanation than just "it's shit," let me break it down. Why does Mythra have a chest window? Why does she wear a skirt so short that bending over even a little would expose her panties? Mythra's personality in-game makes it abundantly clear that she does not care for other people ogling her, even doing the tired anime cliche of beating up the male protag over a misunderstanding that makes him "seem like a pervert." Despite that, her outfit makes almost no attempt to cover any of her "sensitive" areas. It's cheap fanservice purely for the sake of it. To be clear: there is nothing wrong with characters being sexy or showing skin. There are even other characters in the game I think are fine having revealing outfits (Brighid being one because she still manages to come off as classy and refined.) Hell even Pyrrha having an open back never bothered me that much because she's not the sort of person who seems like she'd get easily upset at people eyeing her, at least not to the extent of Mythra. Yes, it's true that the West has a tendency to censor things far more than it should, and that is an issue unto itself, but I feel like this is an issue where every instance should be looked at on its own rather than just generalizing everything into a single mindset. Case and point: yes Mythra's outfit was censored, but in this particular case, it resulted in an overall better design for the character that doesn't come off as cheap sexualization just for the sake of it. You can have fanservice and still execute it in a way that doesn't diminish the character or the story.

Don’t understand why they’d add those ridiculous filters onto the manhunt 2 death scenes. They made them more disturbing and violent in my opinion lol.

[@notfriendlystudios1643]

Yeah it just makes your imagination fill in the blanks and makes it worse somehow

[@gibleyman]

Honestly that's also a genuinely smart way to "censor" it, it mostly removes the violent animations in order to be accepted by whatever higher up was requesting it, but it doesn't necessarily take away from the game's experience, it oddly fits the games aesthetic too, the idea of completely messing up the camera and have random seizure inducing effects on screen to hide the horror is something that fits right into the game. Pretty neat stuff.

[@KingYahshua]

@@gibleyman Good point. I forgot that most of these censorship measures are actually placed in by the devs via pressure from the higher-ups. I think my point was that its quite funny how them forcing the Manhunt 2 devs to censor the kills just made them more graphic in the process lmao.

[@ThePhantom4516]

@@notfriendlystudios1643 Graphical fidelity wasn't that good back then so the animations wouldn't have been that realistic, so having it blurred really does just leave your mind to imagine what it would look like.

My favorite bit of self-censorship is when people who make MK Fatality and Brutality compilation videos and, specifically for MK X and 11, always use the bug character Dvora because she bleeds blue blood, so therefore it's completely fine by KZbin bot standards. You can see the terrifyingly accurate recreation of human anatomy in high-definition 4K, but it can only be in blue, the kids won't get scarred that way.

[@Acidonia150reborn]

This is reason the Show Samurai Jack got made because all the Violence was Against Robots or Insects with green blood other wise it would of never existed.

One piece of censorship that I think is interesting is in the Chinese release of Halo, the Master Chief Collection. The opening cinematic for the Halo 2 level Gravemind is cropped to not show the titular Gravemind, probably because it's a giant tentacle of rotting flesh. Also in this version all killed enemies don't spill any blood and shrink down out of existence so the don't leave behind a corpse.

actually a remnant of maria getting shot to death on screen straight up made it into the final game. for one of shadows many flashbacks to maria's death, rather than show it outright, they represent it by just flashing some screenshots from the pre-rendered opening, including one of the cut shot.

[@comfyghost]

…heh heh… cut shot

[@the-NightStar]

Reminds me of how during the entire show's run, Ren and Stimpy's opening contains portions of a scene that was cut from the pilot episode. For every year Ren and Stimpy ran on television, all shots in that opening were from the pilot episode, including 2 shots no one had ever seen during it's entire run. It confused a lot of kids back in the day, myself included. Only years later when Ren and Stimpy made it onto DVD, was the cut scene ever revealed.

Bolt if you see this, I want you to know... God of War is an action-adventure game franchise created by David Jaffe at Sony's Santa Monica Studio. It began in 2005 on the PlayStation 2 (PS2) video game console and has become a flagship series for PlayStation, consisting of nine installments across multiple platforms. Based on ancient mythologies, the story follows Kratos, a Spartan warrior and later the Greek God of War, who was tricked into killing his family by his former master, the original Greek God of War Ares. This sets off a series of events that leads to wars with the different mythological pantheons. The Greek-based games see Kratos follow a path of vengeance due to the machinations of the Olympian gods, while the Norse-based games, which introduce his son Atreus as a secondary protagonist, show Kratos on a path of redemption and inadvertently coming into conflict with the Norse gods.

If you dont know, alot of the games bosses and enemies have elements of "blood and gore" integral to the design, such as the Eye of Chuthulu, a floating eyeball that grows teeth. To be released in China, the game had to have all of these elements removed, so instead of just covering it up they made a completely different design for everything, for example the eye was turned into a grassy snapper like creature, essentially make a different, but still good experience.

One that i wanna mention is that in Persona 2 Innocent Sin one of the main Antagonists is Hitler who is revived and wants to conquer the world with an army of of robot-nazis ! Because of this the original game only released in japan, even tho its 2nd part persona 2 eternal punishment, that you need to play P2IS to understand, was released in the US. In 2009 it got a psp remake/port that just gave Hitler glasses and changed his name to Fuhrer, and with this change the game was released worldwide, BUT THE SEQUEL PSP REMAKE WAS JAPAN EXCLUSIVE!

5:09 this is a Western thing look the Advance wars like game War Groove had a Patch that changed it of you fight the Dog Units they just Run away instead when defeated. The 80s arcade gane Narc which you play as cops blowing up dealers to gory chunks does the same thing with the Dogs and this was pre Mortal Kombat

Narc was the one where the talking leg says "I GIVE UP!", right?

In ocarina of time that chanting isn’t real it’s from a stock sound cd

[@ToonsInk.]

I was playing flash tboi and not only did the bomb sound censor shadow saying damn, but when the game over music played at 9:01. Also if you make a sequel, please talk about what the binding of isaac claimed to change due to religion when nintendo offered the game to be ported to nintendo consoles.

I love the South Park video games, but I kinda wish I had the censored versions for the splash screens alone
