the localization of Metal Gear on the NES is one of the most glorious trainwrecks ever but it also led to Snake's Revenge and it made the NES Metal Gear games THEIR OWN TIMELINE (AU, if you will). It also featured the best Solid Snake ever, who is described as, from the Snake's Revenge instruction booklet itself....
"The English manual also claims that Snake is a black belt in 32 forms of oriental combat, is skilled in every weapon known to man, and is a combination of Rambo, James Bond, John Wayne and Lawrence of Arabia."

Big DOA fan here, hello. The DOA Xtreme games are... Yeah, just fan service. The DOA community (the competitive one at least) doesn't quite care for the sexualization of the females, it's just a cash-in, and oddly enough people missed it so much that there was a cry from fans to make another. It's just one of those things that makes DOA, DOA... That being half naked women that are well endowed. Actually, the normal DOA girl outfits aren't too bad, it's usually the alternate costumes/DLC that can get a little too spicy. The gameplay is essentially almost a dating sim of sorts, but not...
You choose a girl to play as, play mini games, earn cash to spend on swim suits and gifts you can give to other girls to form friendships. I wonder what goes through the straight male's mind (or lesbian) as they play that... They probably are just there for the eye candy. It seems like a game younger girls would enjoy too, yet at the same time it's uber sexualized in every way. I don't really know about those games to be honest, other than the fact it's a way to make money off of the sexualization of women.

At least they're all 18, right. :drshrug:
I've always hated what the Xtreme games did to the perception of the series. Since then, DOA's just seen as a "booby fighter" now and it's sickening to see a game with such great mechanics, stages and characters to be reduced to that in so many people's minds. I was secretly glad when Xtreme 3 was confirmed to not be getting a Western release.

This is coming from someone who has Ayane and Kasumi as borderline waifu status.

I remember seeing your tag and I was like "...this name sounds familiar. Was it that one guy I played Brawl with? ...Nah"
I was right and wrong at the same time lol

If you ever wanna play just let me know :3

I'll be honest. I played DoA Xtreme when I was younger on the original XBOX. I thought it was actually rather boring to be honest. :V (That and DoA Dimensions were the only DoA games I actually played.)

If you don't like something, vote with your wallet & don't buy it.

Other people would've liked to get the game. Why are you happy that they won't be able to play it? Because you don't like it?

By secretly happy, I meant that I was sad that people who wanted it wouldn't be able to play it, but still had a touch of happiness since it gave me hope for the perception of the series.

The game itself is fine, but it stained the series so badly...

That said, the fact that they were pushed to outright say no to a Western release of DOAX3 is pretty saddening and does say something about our culture.

I think it speaks more to how ****ing smart they are. I think it's 1/4 the west but 3/4 making a mostly irrelevant game very relevant by sparking controversy and creating a market that's buying it for very different reasons. KA just made some big import do$h methinks.

Let's not forget that today we are going to be eating potentially the closest living thing to a Velociraptor.



Happy turkey-raptor day, everyone.

I don't really care one way or another about the implant slider in Xenoblade CX. I'm glad they fixed the underage stuff.

If memory serves, Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national mascot bird. Instead we eat the turkey and have the bald eagle as our symbol.

Makes me wonder if we'd eat bald eagles if the turkey was our national bird :lick:

No and I'm fully aware wild game like that is potentially diseased or unfit for consumption.

Have you? You make it sound like you know it's a bad idea from experience.
Trust me, I have no clue what eagle tastes like. That was more of a "what if" scenario than a question.

Anybody remember me? No? Ah, well...

Breaking news, CPU 3 bodied by a for Glory Little Mac 7-0. Details at 7. :p
Wait was that you? I couldn't tech to save my life, I was so mad. Your recovery with Mac is awesome. I just kept chucking you off the side but I couldn't kill you. We should play more sometime.

By the way coming back to the topic of localizations, I think the best example of a cool localization would be the first Pokémon games because Gen I names in Japan sucked

For instance:

Arcanine -> Windie
Moltres -> Fire
Articuno -> Freezer
Zapdos -> Thunder
Jolteon -> Thunders
Haunter -> Ghost
Gastly -> Ghos
Magnemite -> Coil
Vaporeon -> Showers
Aerodactyl -> Ptera
Flareon -> Booster
Chansey -> Lucky

And probably more than I can't be bothered to check

You like them... "roosters," huh? :colorful:

Incidentally, do the British Isles have national/regional things like birds, foods, and flowers, or is that just a US thing?

Speaking of censorship, they seemed to have changed Magnolia's tomahawk costume.

I'm not sure how changing a native american outfit to a cowboy outfit is supposed to be better.
But then again, this is NoA.
These guys were the ones that put doge memes in the american localisation of triforce heroes.

The main problem I have with censorship is that Nintendo (specifically NoA) is giving in to sjw's. I mean, look at that. FE Fates is basically guaranteed to be censored as well.

Anyways, only 9 more days till X comes out :D
They most likely changed the costume because it is offensive to North America's indigenous population.

In this article, some Native Americans give their perspective on appropriation of their culture (emphasis mine)

“The headdress is reserved for our revered elders who, through their selflessness and leadership, have earned the right to wear one. It’s a spiritual garb, not just cultural; it’s not merely an addition to one’s attire. Wearing one, even an imitation headdress, belittles what our elders have spent a lifetime to earn.”Simon Moya-Smith, citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation and journalist
“Both feathers and face paint have purpose and often spiritual significance depending on tribal protocol and individual interpretation. In Native cultures, both feathers and face paint are earned through actions and deeds that bring honor to both tribes and nations. Individuals [outside the community] who wear feathers or face paint were not given the rights or permissions to wear them. This is analogous to casually wearing a purple heart or medal of honor that was not earned.” —Dennis Zotigh, Cultural Specialist, National Museum of the American Indian
As wearing a headdress reinforces stereotypes about Native people and appropriates our culture with little or no regard for our traditions, I think it is egregious and contributes to the dehumanization of our people.” — Jacqueline Keeler, founder of EONM (Eradicating Offensive Native Mascotry)
“There needs to be balance between the promotion of stereotypes and actual real knowledge and respect for how Native people use these cultural treasures. The notion of Native people as primarily in the past and open to acquisition by anyone is not compatible with understanding and respecting Native people as modern citizens of Sovereign Nations who STILL control a great deal of land and energy resources in the United States.

Most folks appropriating our culture have no clue as to who we really are (actual sovereign nations within the borders of the United States with an international status higher than states), and thus permit and allow the continued theft of our land, resources and culture. It is a completely immoral stance that allows for the continued elimination of Native people. It is a legacy of an evil and shameful history that the United States has long sought to hide and ignore. The ignorance of Americans regarding this is reflected in their misuse of our culture.” — Jacqueline Keeler, founder of EONM (Eradicating Offensive Native Mascotry)
From what I understand about this game, these are not characters; they are character classes that the player can change at-will. That means you can change from being a "Tomahawk" to being a pirate or a knight. Native Americans' culture shouldn't be used as a costume for aesthetic purposes in a video game. If a game wants to create a Native American character, they should thoughtfully and respectfully give that character background and understand the culture they're borrowing from.

It's sad that we'll complain about the removal of a Native American costume while we're perfectly content remaining blissfully ignorant of many of the issues facing Native Americans and their nations today. States are still stealing land! I read an article that said one tribe in the Southern United States was asking the state for help to slow/stop the erosion of their land due to a bog that was sinking it. The state just ignored it because all the land that was swallowed by the bog became land of the state.

Native Americans are one of the most likely groups to end up in foster care, and they have very high alcoholism rates. Native women are often abused by men from outside the tribes and have trouble getting justice from the US criminal justice system. In Canada there's a highway where large amounts of Native women go missing, and the Canadian government has done little about it.

We only want to think about them when we can use their culture to make an enjoyable movie, book, or video game, but we can't be bothered to care when their people are facing real problems. I don't blame them for finding that offensive.

I hate all this talk of "giving in" to "Social Justice Warriors." Almost every time I hear that (or read it), it's someone complaining about an issue that negatively affects real communities. Sorry you (not you specifically - I'm speaking generally) thought this costume looked cool and you wanted to use it, but if the only time you're upset about issues concerning Native Americans is when there's been a change in a video game you want to play, you need to rethink your outlook on life.

Even though thanksgiving was a month ago up here in Canada, I just want to say I'm glad this thread exists.

I've met a lot of awesome gurls here and I've gotten a lot of laughs in the process.

If for some insane reason Wolf doesn't return, I'll still have this thread to fall back on which is a great feeling to have.

Thanks for being such an awesome group of gurls and for all the good time I've had here.

Kakuna is just "Cocoon." Scyther is "Strike." Rapidash is "Gallop."
