Not to say there is anything wrong with video games like that, just that your statement seem very misguided into what the issue itself was\is. Rapelay would be the latter and not former.
RAPELAY 2 SERIAL
Well, there's a bit of a difference between a game set in war and you shoot enemy soldiers, and a game where you play a serial killer, killing people because it's "fun". Originally posted by Außenseiter:Yeah murdering and dissecting people in video games is ok, but putting things into holes is a no-no. Any soccermom seeing that would throw a fit, just as half the western world now would throw a fit(They throw a fit everytime you mention that word without a trigger warning, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ triggasauruses man.). Had Playhome existed instead of Rapelay, the controversy might not have happened(as it's more light themed and less in your face edgy about the whole thing).Īlso name doesn't give it any favors, lol. And so it's very obvious why we'll never see Playhome in the west. Had it been sold in the west? Sure, I can see it.
While it does have mind break theme etc, but it is a very slow climb to that state, playhome you reach that state within the first couple ingame days, no slow climb.īut again, never sold outside of Japan, never inteded out of Japan, and had regional locks to ensure this(as much as one can ensure such a thing on PC), which is what made the controversy extra stupid. So one can definitly see and understand HOW, and WHY the controversy happened.
This is why the controversy happened, and why it got so out of hand, also didn't help that you rape a 13 - 15 year old girl in it(and another 16 - 17 year old). It's targeted to that small nichè that enjoys seeing women cry and suffer.
RAPELAY 2 FULL
Rapelay throws that out the window and is full on extreme dark rape fantasy. It's obviously targeted to those that enjoy it rape fantasy, but not in a twisted dark way. It starts a little dark, but for the most part they end up loving it pretty quickly. To put it this way, PH is a playful, light themed rape. It is, which is how the controversy happened, lol.

Hmm sounds like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up game tbh not my style I don't think haha but I don't see any harm in it existing. Even a few thousand outraged twitter users can have serious consequenses to video games, just as soccer moms had on the Japanese video game market outside of Japan(stiffled it before it even considered growing). This is also why we all shake our heads to outrage mob deniers\appologists. Originally posted by Smell:What happened in 2009? Can't find anything on google. It was ridiculous, still is ridiculous as the game was never intented, nor was it outright obtainable by anyone outside of Japan(doesn't run on non-japanese pc's either, i.e: have to change localisation settings on the computer or use a program that does it on a software-software basis, such as applocale), but that didn't stop soccer moms from getting their panties in a twitch. I remember it vividly, I also remember the time when you could go to Japanese game sites regardless of IP, and when the IP blocking happened, and all the workarounds that started to pop up(VPNs weren't a popular thing back then). I forget people probalby weren't around at the time, lol. What happened in 2009? Can't find anything on google. For obvious reasons *cough* 2009 controversy *cough*. No circumstance in the world would ever make Illusion even think about releasing Play Home to the west, lol. Also to add, Play Home is fairly different theme all together, and is never going to see a western release, ever.
