ffffffffffffffffffffffffff-

Meh it's prolly' due to their financial troubles and also the overt sexual stuff dooming sales in US.

Yeah speaking of that.

Ive watched 2 playthroughs of the game. Theres like, NO sexual shit like they made the game out to be. Theres that one scene they showed in the 1st trailer, and maybe like one more. Other than that its just vincent waking up to a nude catherine, which is censored. lol

Yeah, that's kinda bummer.

It saves me money though. Lotsa good games coming out this year.

However I still have faith. If it does well in Japan then maybe we'll see it. But I assume the main reason is the sexuality to it. Most americans are too immature to look past the titties.

Edit: In response to Masu's post that was simultaneous with mine, so long as there's some kind of sexuality to it, Japanese games aren't allowed.

They'll let something like 'The Witcher' show breasts in literally EVERY trailer the game has, but the people are so damn xenophobic. Whomever decides what gets in or not.

Though, that's not really fair. It's not like they're stopping it from going through. It's Atlus at this point.

I am a bit surprised about this news. Cause they did have Vinny in the american version of P3P. I would have figured that it would have been easier to just take him out than to translate all his dialogue. Kinda a gamer cocktease there Atlus. Sadface.

So long as they don't pull the crap that Namco-Bandai did and Shut out like ALL of their games from us, I'm fine with it though.
