Sean "hang the yellow man" Vanaman has now banned an established franchise (with an uncensored switch port) from steam. When will Valve fire this moron?
What's the logic behind allowing all the RPGmaker porn games?
Simple, it wasn't Sean "nuke Japan again" Vanaman that gave them the go ahead
Sean "Call me the Fat Man" Vanaman
Sean "One Man Hiroshima" Vanaman
Sean "Unloading my AK-47 on some filthy Elevens" Vanaman
Someone should send this Vanaman guy an email and ask him to explain why he thinks an ESRB rated game available on consoles shouldn't be allowed on Steam.

They'd be forced to release games they don't want to that way.
>They'd be forced to release games they don't want to that way.
For real though. What "undesirable" games would they have to publish then?
Eroge is already exempt and unable to get ESRB/PEGI/CERO ratings.
I assume due to valves flat hierarchical structure a bunch of cliques have formed. There are the cool guys who let everything go through or the stuck up puritans whose head belong in the toilet. You submit your game and fate decides whoever checks out the request.
>tfw Campo Santos people let in the gay furry games but not a VN
DLsite, no DRM either
You will buy Furry Hitler and you will like it over weeb trash
Worth it to make the chuds mad
First they came for the chuds, and I did not speak out, for I was not a chud...
Even resetera is mad.
>mad
If by “mad” you mean “insane”, then that’s always true.
Why are you assuming they're finnish?
There's not even anything that wild in C;H or C;C as far as I remember, why the frick did this happen?
Steam's QA process puts weeb games and VNs under extra scrutiny, and Valve has an anal retentive definition of "exploiting children" which would've likely required removing anything sexual at all from the game, despite the sexual content being mild fanservice stuff on par with many other games already available on Steam.
>sexualizing children is ok
>but only a little
Do you even realise how moronic you sound
Sexualizing kids in their late teens who already have sex in real life is fine and does not offend anyone except puritan soccer moms. If you get the vapors from watching CW shows then this game would offend you, yes, but so would leaving your house.
Lumping everyone under 18 together as innocent, sacred and in need of protection is stupid and only popular because of brain-damaged SJWs on Twitter in constant need of things to be offended by and demand systemic change over.
>Do you even realise how moronic you sound
Only you sound moronic
>not even anything that wild
It's pretty bloody and they actually kill children in there. I'm not saying it should be banned but it's not a nothingburger either.
>It's pretty bloody and they actually kill children in there

The game they listed, https://steamcommunity.com/groups/cutcontentpolice/announcements/detail/1468601426511217926. They said this game had "obscenity" "grey areas", when the Japs say it's fine
so no films with kids? no kids on TV? sounds fine, child-stars have hellish lives.
I'm having insane deja vu with this this post and other images in here. I'm gonna go drink now.
That's a sign you spend too much in these shitholes. Takumi really needed this detail to be fully believable.
Noah is still great and Kozue's ending is a masterpiece...
what's with the shitty broken english on the cover? They couldn't find anyone who could string together normal sentences?
Chiyomaru (Producer of all SciADV games) is autistic and insists on writing all these taglines himself, using dictionaries to include specific words.
all their games are cringe pseudo intellectual shit that chucks in a bunch of scientific concepts and technical terms to make it sound cool. Japs in general like the way english words and randomly use them too

Gabriel dropout has underage fanservice, these homosexuals keeping their morals constant challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
>Anime underage girls loving pedo complains about pedophilia as if they had a high moral ground
Often the case. Pathetic.
I wonder if this guy's opinion changed after being banned himself.
First post of him was today so clearly not
It's always the closet pedos that preach the hardest about how bad it is
I have never seen any proof that "hurr there's some moderator at valve with an agenda" is true.
It seems they want to be consistent, and all these games they "unfairly" banned recently usually fall under "character implied or stated to be underage is sexualized in any form", and coincidentally Japan subconsciously likes doing this. This may be it?
But why so strict? They're likely being prudent after the situations with payment processors vs PornHub, Patreon, OnlyFans and others.
>Steam
>consistent
Pick one.
If Steam was consistent, Persona 5 should be banned.
Furthermore, if Steam is doing that because of legal reasons, then there's no reason why they keep old games on the store despite the fact that they technically break these ridiculously strict rules.
The Persona series is an excellent example. I read the original fanTL of Chaos;Head years ago and in terms of sexual content with underage characters it's on par with the Persona series.
There was nothing explicit at all in the original and the censorship in this version is supposedly heavy, so I doubt there's any rational reason why it's banned. Someone at Steam is just being a huge homosexual.
If Persona 6 ever comes out, I hope Valve will ban it. Maybe that’ll finally teach weebs a lesson.
teach what lesson exactly, mr mutt?
We should really meme p5 into being banned. Sega are huge homosexuals so that might mean yakuza/judgement are forever console exclusives.
>I have never seen any proof that "hurr there's some moderator at valve with an agenda" is true.
A VN publisher (NekoNyan, IIRC) has already talked about the fact that all of their VNs got approved, except one that got reviewed by someone different.
>want to be consistent
If they wanted to be consistent it'd make more sense it they didn't approve porn games like this just a few months ago. Even though all the H-scenes are removed, the game's still focused on sexualizing an underage schoolgirl with revealing outfits getting raped by everything that moves

I hope they find another storefront.
I played the first one and enjoyed it a lot id like to buy it if possible.
Of course resetera is mad now that its a game they give a frick about is being taken away, before these homosexuals champion this censorship shit
resetera is celebrating the ban though

Follow the rules and dont ask questions:
>Its okay when valve does it
>Its okay when nintendo does it
nothing makes sense, there is no logic. Some games are just unlucky enough to land in front of disgruntled employees who hates"problematic" japanese games
There not a fanbase that are as fanatic at VaIvedrones, they think any criticism about them is made by paid pajeets from Epic

I feel like Ganker has never played this VN to know how shit it is. The MC is a literal incel, NEET, basement-dwelling, porn/game addict that even bluffs suicide several times just to escape responsibility in life.
he's designed to be a pathetic autist but that doesn't change how horrible it is to read him literally spilling his spaghetti every 5 minutes
He has to, otherwise his delusions would be weak as frick

>I feel like Ganker has never played this VN to know how shit it is.
I feel like you probably watched the anime before reading the VN, if you ever actually read the VN at all. Because the way you're framing the VN is total dogshit.
Chaos;Head is good.
I played through Chaos;Head way before the anime came out. It was dog shit. I swear people only like it for the edgyness. Same as Higurashi
>I swear people only like it for the edgyness.
The main appeal is the rather genuine and authentic, depressed NEET mega-otaku perspective. And all the flaws, anxiety, and insanity that comes with it.
Fused with a crazy narrative for an adventure. But it's also a narrative that unfolds itself little by little as you slowly uncover more of it, giving readers ample opportunity too always guess the next step of the narrative. Which is a structure that's somewhat engaging.
This combination is overall very well received. Hence why it's rather beloved in both the domestic Japanese and foreign English markets.
But if you're a normalgay who can't relate to the protagonist on any level you might hate it regardless. I hope that's not you.
>Hence why it's rather beloved in both the domestic Japanese and foreign English markets.
Maybe by some tiny, niche audience who gives a shit about these kinds of stories. Everyone else sees it for what it is - a schlocky, pulp fiction urban mystery thriller with a terrible second half.

Pretty sure it's one one the towelket games
What triggers me is the fact he lives in a shipping containers. Shipping containers are not houses, and the fact the writer thinks it can serve as one is absurd.

My dude, anything can be a house if you're desperate enough.
>Shipping containers are not houses, and the fact the writer thinks it can serve as one is absurd.
During that whole "mini house" craze people were living in them.
Why did they make a game about my life?

Like you. That's why you posted butchered anime pic instead?
yes and?
he actually improves throughout the game
thats the whole fricking point of the SCI ADV novels

Can't people just tweet at Gaben or something until they fix this frick up and fire the troony?
does steam ever walk back these game bans?
they walked back hatred way back then
seems like the ban worked in hatred's favor, was a major hype factor
It was, i'm sure it would be for chaos head too
Notice how this is the only example Steam fanatics can ever come up with, and of course it's a western "game," the exact type of product that gets favoritism from Valve.
amazing that mass murder and making a nuclear power plant melt down is more acceptable to americans than high school girls in their underwear.
That's how the "we will now allow everything that's not illegal" rule was born.
https://www.pcgamesn.com/valve-walk-back-visual-novel-censorship
And this game isn't illegal soooo.........
An anti porn organization lobbied the original VN ban in the first place. It was always just based on feelings
Do you really think he cares?
Everytime someone says legal issues is lying homosexual.
Why is literal furry garbage ok but anime girls are bad?
>We want Steam Deck to do well in japan!
>Pull this moronic shit
LOL
uh steamkeks i thought we were suppose to be better than snoy
Seems there's some closet pedo/chauvinist who gets a little too personally uncomfortable around cute characters in the Steam decision council. I've been hearing quite a few incidents like this on and off.
>When will Valve fire this moron?
This is probably the closest hes gotten fired if homosexuals pushed a bit harder on places that matter instead of complaining here. Go bay a twitter spam service to updoot the few devs getting traction on shitting on Valve
>if homosexuals pushed a bit harder on places that matter instead of complaining here
Exactly what I'm saying. All it'll take is a like 50 people asking on twatter why it's banned from Steam but allowed on PlayStation for some Valve manager to get pissy at the troony that banned it.
There's a hashtag campaign on Twitter trending with currently over 1000 tweets. #SaveChaosHead and #SaveSciAdv
>SaveSciAdv
literally lightning in a bottle they've been chasing 10 years later

unless a troon kills himself Steam will do nothing
Chaos games aren't allowed on current playstation either lol
Chaos child is on ps4 though, im sure if they wanted to publish chaos head aswell on ps4 they could

Genkai tokki is on ps4 aswell
That was before they became anti Japan, moron.
Evenicle is on Steam and now look where we are
Just stop, you have no clue what you're talking about
That game released in 2016, Summer of 2018 was when the Sony censorship policy was put in place. It wasn't retroactive.
Gal gun 2 released in 2018.
>Gal gun 2
wrong galgun
Yet it still released in 2018, on playstation. You'll get lightfilters if things get to echi, but the only otright banning games is steam.
>You'll get lightfilters if things get to echi,
that's censorship you mongrel. Call a spade a spade.
Braindead? The topic was "the game would propably be allowed"
yes you inbred. You're yet to name an ecchi game that got in AFTER the policy was erected. What've you've shown for us however is that snoy was censoring games before they decided to stop them outright
you still havent answered that galgun returns thing, btw
I asked you if you're braindead.
Stay on the topic, dumb mongo
snoys need to die.
Kys valve drone and go back to topic, hyperdimension neputunia games are allowed on ps4 aswell, and they are more echi with minors than chaos head.
Valve is the only one who outrights bans games.
the latest PS5 hyprdimension neptunia had ecchi with minors? No? Didnt think so.
you STILL havent addressed galgun returns. Not that I expect you to given how it utterly btfos your bullshit
Valve is being super shit too yeah. Snoy still has a longer track record of being karens.
I said Summer of 2018, GG2 released in Spring 2018. It narrowly avoided the policy.
Yes that was before sony went full moron dumbass-kun
what was the latest galgun? galgun returns or some shit? didnt they get in trouble with ms?
>no ps version
explain that moron

What the frick is GOG doing in all of this? Seems like a perfect opportunity here.
Kneeling to the CCP
GOG hosted evenicle after it got banned, i'm sure they would do so for this. Honestly what I don't get is why epic isn't moving in, would be a perfect pr boost for their whole steam is monopolistic thing.
>Honestly what I don't get is why epic isn't moving in, would be a perfect pr boost for their whole steam is monopolistic thing.
Epic can't jump into this fight because they still wants parents to buy their kids vbucks. No one gives a shit about video game violence, but they still care about sexuality (troon grooming is fine, tho)
I mean I know they move slow given how they only just implemented a shopping cart, but it really can't be that hard to implement an age-gated part of the epic store, that wouldn't jeopardize anything. It's just weird, it seems like a no brainer (also it's not like chaos head is particularly scandalous anyways, it's not even 18+).
They're not gonna open up an adults section until fortnite is dead. Family organizations shit on Steam all the time for having ecchi and porn, but Steam doesn't care because they don't need to court kids like Epic needs to.
If anything were to draw heat for coexisting with Fortnite, it would be GTA V. It has violence, nudity, some softcore sex, and micro-transactions. So far it seems like GTA V hasn't affected the Fortnite money printer.
GTA has been debated to death for decades, and no one cares anymore. Some incel simulator VN with lingerie shots is a prime target for this kind of outrage, and Timmy isn't going to touch shit like this
epic hates VNs
>What the frick is GOG doing in all of this?

THIS IS 100% BECAUSE OF VISA AND MASTERCARD. They FOR SURE threatened Gaben and said they would halt payment processes if they don't follow the rules. This happens in porn all the time (remember the drama with Only fans a year ago?).

Doubt it. Paypal cares about sexshops and casinos, but if they would care about lewd games on steam they would be out long ago
And yet the credit card companies supposedly responsible couldn't care less about Nintendo selling the game on the eShop, or retailers like Walmart and Gamestop selling physical copies. Curious.
yeah and there's also tons of games on steam that have similar or worse content, it's all whoever is on the team approving this being weird and inconsistent.
But Steam is full of cheap porn games though
No wonder we never got a new senran, steam would just fricking ban it lmfao

V...VN is not game!

The Switch port is not "uncensored" it's the game censored version that exists on other platforms. The only places where it's uncensored are PC, Xbox 360, and Vita. Meaning that Valve won't even put up the censored version which is really bad.
https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/09/nintendoes-what-valve-dont-game-barred-from-steam-will-launch-on-switch/
>The Switch port is not "uncensored"
Isn't it the unedited version of Noah? Or are you implying that Noah is in itself censored?
Is that even a fair claim to make when Noah has original content? It wasn't conceptualized as a lesser C;H.
Or am I missing something here?
The article explains it very well.
>Subsequent Japanese ports of Chaos;Head Noah for the PS3, PSP, Android, and iOS were heavily edited to remove some of the more extreme images and descriptions of violence. In turn, those ports received a lower CERO D rating (roughly equivalent to the ESRB's "M for Mature" rating) in Japan. A source in the visual novel translation community (who asked to remain anonymous) confirmed that both the Switch and proposed Steam English-language versions of the game were based on this edited-down script.
>A Japanese Chaos;Head port for the Nintendo Switch, released earlier this year, received the higher CERO Z rating (and "crime" content icon) despite using the edited version of the game that previously received a CERO D rating.
The 360 and Vita versions of Noah were not censored. The PS3, PSP, Mobile versions are and you can add the Switch version to that list.
Can you show an example of what was censored? I'm legit curious how hard they edited some content
from vndb
it makes one segment of the game mostly nonsensical by cutting out the most important part in it and it heavily censors the climax of one of the routes. Ending B and the climax of Kozue's route suffer the most from this.
so this and plus toned down violence and sexy stuff, probably
What that other anon said is correct, massive parts of routes are cut in the censored version so the story is incomplete.
Too much work to fire people. I would rather sit back and do nothing all day.
Any word on the quality of the official translation?
From people who got it early, it's MTL tier.
it's shit
Look, the line has to be drawn somewhere. Even Ganker agrees on that. The only question is where.
Porn games with non-consensual sex are obviously not okay. But what about dubious consent? BDSM with roleplaying? What if the characters are drunk? Or if someone's raped for dramatic purposes? Where is the line drawn?
I don't think anyone at Valve wants to censor games. But they have a clear policy (no underage sexuality), and drawing that line isn't always easy.
Who knows? There's currently a JRPG on Steam that lets you ogle a 14-year-old midget in a POV beach date and have her chide you for looking at her chest. There is no line.
game? feels like youre talking about Hajimari no Kiseki
I think any games already accepted by the ESRB should be the easiest.
The ESRB only regulates games in North America, though. Every rating board has different standards.
steam can just region lock the game if they think it's illegal in some countries
that's what they already do with porn games, or games with lootboxes
C;H isn't a porn game, though, so I don't know.
Steam already region locks games. That's why you can't buy DQX.
>Porn games with non-consensual sex are obviously not okay.
A fictional character can't consent. All porn games should be illegal.
Can a game give you sexual gratification? If yes then it needs to be banned.
There are people who play call of duty with female characters and jack off to the sounds of them moaning when they get shot
Ban it
There are tilephiles that get off to Tetris shapes.
>Porn games with non-consensual sex are obviously not okay
Says who?
You can kill a prostitute in gta after paying her for sex and get your money back, and that's completely allowed on every platform.
>>Porn games with non-consensual sex are obviously not okay
No. They are okay. Fricking moron.

Everything that doesn't depict real people should be allowed.
Why do people try so hard to protect the rights of drawings and CGI? I just don't get it.
Because fiction influences the real world. Allowing rape in games normalizes rape culture in reality.
do you have evidence to back this opinion up? some scientific studies, perhaps?
rape culture isn't real, rape has been illegal basically everywhere in the world for thousands of years
>I’m moronic and cant separate fiction from reality

>57% of the rapists are white and 27% are black, so it targeting a white gaming hobby is fine
>more than half of rapists have one prior conviction. So again, white incel who plays VNs? They're not gonna commit crimes
Tell this to criminals why to gamers.
>30 year olds or older
That is a huge age range. If anything, you've proven most rapists are young men.
>If anything, you've proven most rapists are young men.
>>Or older
So young men are older than 30? Or are 30 year olds young men?
21-29 commit a quarter of rapes. That is a much bigger proportion than the half committed by 30 and up.

What they don't want to show you:
>Could making pornography legal lead to lower rates of sex crimes? A new study by Milton Diamond, from the University of Hawaii, and colleagues, addresses this controversial question.
Results from the Czech Republic showed, as seen everywhere else studied (Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Finland, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Sweden, USA), that rape and other sex crimes have not increased following the legalization and wide availability of pornography. In addition, the study found that the incidence of child sex abuse has fallen since 1989, when child pornography became readily accessible -- a phenomenon also seen in Denmark and Japan.
The findings support the theory that potential sexual offenders use child pornography as a substitute for sex crimes against children. While the authors do not approve of the use of real children in the production or distribution of child pornography, they say that artificially produced materials might serve a purpose.
Czech Republic as it transitioned from having a strict ban on sexually explicit materials to a situation where the material was decriminalized. Pornography was strictly prohibited between 1948 and 1989. The ban was lifted with the country's transition to democracy and, by 1990, Even the possession of child pornography was not a criminal offense.
Most significantly, they found that the number of reported cases of child sex abuse dropped markedly immediately after the ban on sexually explicit materials was lifted in 1989. In both Denmark and Japan, the situation is similar: Child sex abuse was much lower than it was when availability of child pornography was restricted.
See mountains of evidence that has come out via scientific studies that says videogames don't cause people to go on murderous rampages
By that same logic, rape games aren't going to make someone a rapist.
Maybe....Just maybe, those kinds of outlets prevent someone from murdering, or from raping people. Who are these nutjobs who play the game and go "bluhhhh I gotta have the real thing bro"?
>studies that says videogames don't cause people to go on murderous rampages
That's because the video games that do normalize violence serve the interests of the state. First person shooters have been the single greatest military recruitment tool of the last three decades. The fixation on shit like GTA supposedly causing mass murderers was always misdirection to distract from call of duty producing zogbots.
While that gay is wrong for wanting to ban stuff, it's still dumb to pretend that the media one consumes doesn't influence what they think and do. But the actual way to deal with that is a strong, healthy society that produces enough media with messages you want people to see that people are resistant to the messages you're not so fond of. Relying on censors will always be moronic as what they deem acceptable will always shift so quickly and erracticly as to elicit a reaction against it, which is precisely what we see today.
Anon military recruitment rates have been on a steady decline for awhile now despite the fact we get a new call of duty every year.
This is a non-sequitur. By this logic, paying people's tuition doesn't incentivize enlistment, either. Or that bread has no nutritional value because someone subsisting on it alone will eventually die.

Who said them should be banned? It's just comical how explicit trashy furry games and meme games are completely fine, even featured on the front page, while a famous non-explicit Japanese Vn is banned. The asnwer is obvious, someone there fricking hates anime and is in a crusade against it
>>g-gay furry games should be banned!
Who said that? The only thing mentioned about that is if they are banning one kind of lewd game that doesn't even show sex they should ban the other kind of lewd game that does show sex.
It's consent if their tongues stick out, right? Regardless of the tears and cries and pleas.
>Porn games with non-consensual sex are obviously not okay
Why? It's a video game why can I kill hookers in GTA after they blow me, but raping/getting raped is bad. Should Sengoku Rance be banned? Should Beserk be banned, or Fifty Shades of Grey?
>BDSM with roleplaying?
Why? It's literally consensual now, you're acting like a women (or man) can't get off of being beaten.
>What if the characters are drunk?
Game can portray it as good or bad. If it's good, see point 2. Bad, see point 1.
>Or if someone's raped for dramatic purposes?
So you can't have rape just to jerk off to? Why can pornhub do this but games can't?
>Where is the line drawn?
If it's e-girl I can understand steam not wanting to sell it. And when I say e-girl I mean, e-girl. None of this "17" shit, anyone under 12 is banned, not like picrel
>It's a video game why can I kill hookers in GTA after they blow me
That's just regular murder. If GTA had sexual violence, it would not be allowed on consoles.
>Should Sengoku Rance be banned?
Abso-fricking-lutely. That game has a scene where an underage girl gets gangraped.
>Should Beserk be banned
Berserk doesn't portray rape in a titillating way, so no.
>Fifty Shades of Grey?
Dubious consent. It probably shouldn't be allowed in a game, but a book is fine.
>Why can pornhub do this but games can't?
Pornhub does not allow rape fantasies.
You are a moron. You are brain damaged.
>Pornhub does not allow rape fantasies.
You wanna show proof for this or add extra moron strikes for you?
>You wanna show proof for this
Okay, idiot.
What? Did you really think I couldn't back that up?
Nah I just don't expect much from a site that still has hentai on it.
which reminds me of all the porn sites banned from using the word hypnosis...
>Porn games with non-consensual sex are obviously not okay.
look at this gay
Just don't sell porn on Steam and do a review of games that get a rating that causes an instant content ban in stores/no rating.
That's it. It's not hard.
>Look, the line has to be drawn somewhere. Some I'm going to randomly pick this Jap game from a famous franchise and ban it over material it doesn't contain. I'll draw the line a mile further from where I'm pretending, then pretend to be a moderate when others complain.
Naw man, gimme that rapelay
>an uncensored switch port
So... What exactly it was banned for? What scenes? I hope for more games with adult content on steam and I hope for grow of bot WEG and more Japanse eroge translated in to English. However there are some stuffs with really hard core underaged character that shouldn't be allowed and as I didn't not play CH Noah I have no idea if it is the case here or is Steam just going dumb.
>What scenes?
Valve never specifies. If they did, you could "skirt the rules" by changing those specific bits.
japanese high-school girls... le bad
High school uniform
Really? Honestly? I bet that someone just had bad day and decide to piss of people.
steam is just a small indie company, please understand
Being a japanese game that was judged by Sean Vanaman
Steam never explains why they ban a game. They only give you vague replies like pic related.
Jesus Christ. For what game was this?
https://osjey.itch.io/my-darling-in-the-90s
It was a Western game in that case, although with an anime aesthetic.
because its japanese and not american thats why
this shit could easily mean Persona 3/4/5 would get banned.
Or the Senren Kagura games for Mirai, but nope all of them are up with even touching mini games.
They never said why they banned/barred Evenicle 2 from Steam, but after playing it, it might be because that one sex scene between "12 year old" not real girl and boy. I might be wrong, but too many fingers are pointing at that. They don't say they are this old, but their characters look around that age.
>They don't say they are this old, but their characters look around that age.
There is a character in the first one, in your party, that you frick, that looks like she's the same age or younger.
There is no consistency. You will not find any from them.
Evenicle 1 has 2-3 characters like that and I would even add one more, but she states her age is above 30. Have you even played it or are you repeating someone else's story?
I've only played it up to like chapter 3. You see the girl you get in your party in the title splash.
But anyway, having more young girls/"e-girls" is even better, it shows that inconsistency even more.
Meanwhile, pic related is on Steam,
in which you breed girls this small and smaller.
>but after playing it, it might be because that one sex scene between "12 year old" not real girl and boy. I might be wrong
You are. Because the Steam build was censored and had that scene completely cut from the game and it got banned anyway.
Also. Funnily enough. Evenicle 1 has a e-girl rape her own father in delight only to gorily eat him up after the climax.
e-girl. Incest. Rape. Gore. All in one package. But it's Evenicle 2 that gets banned. Kind of ironic. Evenicle 2 is comparably tame.
OK, so if there was a Twilight video game, they'd ban that huh?
For some reason, it feels like this is the first time I've heard of anyone talking about Twilight in years.
Gunvolt has you killing children, the bosses are all teens and there is one pre-teen. The MC is a teen. You can buy all Gunvolt games on Steam.
Talking about the VN itself? Anyone felt the second half was terrible? I was hoping the disword shit was a metaphor or something but then Takumi goes super saiyan and defeats the EVIL ORGANIZATION was just so dumb to me. I mean it was fun dumb tbh especially with find the blue playing.
I also didn't like the culprits of the serial killing. Oh wow another detective named Yasu was the killer yo get it it's like the nes game? XD
>Anyone felt the second half was terrible
yea literally everyone who played it
What a shame. Steins Gate was more consistent but never hit the same highs. Is chaos child good?
the detective is called Suwa Mamoru, moron
Wait seriously? I just remember seeing him and going "oh he's totally going to be the serial killer" and then I was right. Too obvious.
The other detective is called "Ban Yasuji", but he's not the culprit.
Nah it was the young detective.
>Anyone felt the second half was terrible?
Yeah. C;H has some cool stuff going early on about questioning reality, shared delusions shaping society, but didn't deliver on it with the ending. The perfunctory villain shows up for the hero to kill so the story to conclude. I'm curious about the girls' routes add but I don't expect it to fix anything.
Despite not being nearly as good as a thriller, imo Chaos;Child builds on all the themes much more successfully and ends up being a more interesting story.
I feel like focusing on the action is missing the shot. It's more pivotal in regards to Takumi finally having a reason to fight even as he was wrestling with his own existence and a core aspect to getting the true ending is in him achieving self-actualization after all the bombastic action. It's a story about this pathetic NEET finding a reason to live and exist just like how Steins;Gate's climax around Okabe and his bonds leading to a determination that was able to transcend timelines.
Yeah it's not a complete disaster. I just think that Takumi's development flipped like a switch when he got his sword. I liked how Chaos;Child handled it better, both the character flaws and how the MC is forced to introspection. The C;C villains are also bound much closer to the story's central themes, making the climax more satisfying.
the flipping of the switch make sense in my head because it was after the talk with Shogun during the third melt, the circumstances and the talk forced him to make a choice and act, and he didnt even do it for others he did it mostly for himself
Regardless of how Ganker thinks of chaos child, I think it easily has the potential to be the company's second steins gate. Normalgays eat up sad depressing shit all the time. They only need to market it better and not make it an xbox exclusive.
Pure coincidence
chaos head is complete and utter shit and japs have terrible fricking taste if this shit series is the hill they wanna die on.
Based
If you want to be this kind of shithead, Muramasa got the same treatment
The funny thing is that this is pretty much the most advertising this game has gotten.
spike must be fricking pissed. I doubt it will sell well on switch, so they probably lost some 80% of the revenue they would have got because of some stupid homosexual
>I doubt it will sell well on switch
what makes you think that, they'll probably get the bulk of their sales from the switch version
Western VNs sell most of their copies on Steam, moron. Even the Danganronpa series sold more than half of their copies on Steam, despite being released on PC later.
And when you take Steam out of the equation, as has been done here neatly for us, then what do you think the next most popular platform will be?
nobody will buy a censored version of the game with a shit translation that can only be fixed if you hack your switch
>inb4 it won't work
Of course it won't, but I'm fricking mad. Gay furry Western games on Steam but not a famous Japanese Visual Novel? Go frick yourself Valve

Be real, how many of you in this thread had ever heard of Chaos Head before this
I have been waiting for Noah for years
I had it on Vita
I did back in like 2011 but I never played through it. Pink haired girl was in some anime fighting game, I know that
>im
>friggin
>plyin
I've been reading Japanese VNs for over 10 years, and I read the shitty fan-translation of the original game. Noah is supposedly much better and actually adds routes to the girls, so I've been waiting for a long time.
>for over 10 years,
Haven’t you gotten bored already?
I'm currently kind of on a break. The last one I read was Muramasa almost a year ago, so it felt right to take some time off after all that kino.
Out of spite I'm gonna play it in the future
Be real, how new are you. C;H is in the same series as Steins;Gate. Of fricking course anons have heard of it.
Read the original PC version a couple of years back
about 10 years ago I was in the dropped after 1st half camp, haven't cared about it since
I just follow these threads because I wonder how it will escalate
I heard about chaos;head from an anime magazine back around 2008. There was some article about it and steins;gate.
That mag looks comfy. Take me back bros...
it looks cringe af
imagine calling yourself an otaku unironically lmao
Like calling ones self a nerd?
found the ironic weeb
dont worry at least steam has you covered with KFC dating sim
damn that's a nice magazine cover
I played through C;H back when the anime was airing. I was waiting patiently for Noah to get translated by Committee of Zero and laughed at them when an official translation was getting announced but now theyre having the last laugh unless Steam does something.
I have seen the anime but can't remember a single thing about it. Now I would buy the game out of curiosity
I have been waiting for Noah for at least a decade and I don't care about this whole shit because the translation seems to be absolute shit, hope the zero committee fixes shit but I don't have high hopes.
I started reading C;H within like 12 hours of the English patch first releasing.
I had TLWiki bookmarked and checked it several times a week for updates on its various translation projects. And as C;H was nearing completion I started checking it out daily.
But I still think I just woke up on the day of release and saw threads on /jp/ about it before I had even checked TLWiki.
Played the original release. Also Steins;Gate, Steins;Gate 0 and Chaos;Child. Was curious what were the changes in Noah
just email gabe

Why did you have to remind me that Ganker is underage?
What more can we do besides resort to physical violence?

I did that when Dungeon Travelers 2 got banned and nothing ever happened. The fat frick doesn't read his emails anymore.
You need to make it seem like it's about steak knives.
You need to frame your email correctly. Tell him you're going to run a story about Steam protecting xenophobes and racists unless he takes action.
why dont u do it
Because I'm almost 40 years old and barely play games anymore let alone niche VNs. Pozzed games are your future, not mine, so I suggest you do something to protect what we millennials built or just keep crying like the incompetent zoomers you are.
frick off im 18 got more mmoney then u old b***h
Make your own storefront you dumb Hispanic.
Speaking of stores,
Just use DLsite guys, it has English baked into it now and not a separate site and they are also working on an AI translator.
Being able to buy the game is irrelevant, moron. The point is that, if VNs keep getting banned by Steam, it will become unprofitable to localize them and we will thus get fewer VNs in English.
>t will become unprofitable to localize them and we will thus get fewer VNs in English.
DLsite is really pushing to take the the market space so if Valve kicks this shit of Steam, DLsite will just take it and make more money.
Organize a campaign to mass report on Steam popular games like Steins;Gate or Persona 5 for "exploiting minors". This will make normalgays react and force Valve to react.
The game objectifies women and generally appeals to patriarchal fantasies.
Chuds lost.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
Valve has stated that you cannot appeal a ban.
Deal with it, and move on.
>Valve has stated that you cannot appeal a ban.
Hatred would like a word with your shitposting ass. If you are going to pretend to be someone who cares, do it right.
Read it and weep, chud.
Re-submissions of this app, even with modifications, will not be accepted.
End of story.
Deal with it.
Quit pretending, you suck at it.
You can cry all you want.
Valve has made their final decision on the matter.
Your temper tantrum will not change it.
Look, getting any (you) isn't some triumph. I'm telling you to get better at it so you get real (you)s.
Look, crying over your incel fantasy game isn't going to get it approved. Chuds lost. End of. Stop replying to me now, I don't care about your whiny baby syndrome.
This isn't even an attempt. Please learn to troll better, it will raise board quality.
If you're going to keep calling me a troll in an attempt to cope, then I suggest you stop replying to me. I really, really don't care about your incel meltdown.
Glibness is a poor mask for your insecurity.
You're not even engaging with my post, that is what makes is so easy to see that you're trolling. Now if you quit replying because of your personal need to be the person with he last word you can get someone else with a better post.
Yes, because I don't like your sad little incel game that objectifies women, I must be trolling.
Get real.
I've said it many times now -- Valve has stated that you can not reappeal a ban.
The game was not approved, and it will not be.
Frankly, your incel outrage over a jack off game is entertaining to me.
You're not even trying anymore, It's sad to see you settle with these (you)s like they mean something.
You could be better, I believe in you.
Keep replying to me honey. It's just making me laugh more and more, seeing how upset you are that you won't get to breathe heavy over objectified women in your little game.
Be better.
It's really funny seeing anons like you. Don't you have your Twitter bots to entertain? How many "followers" you have there? Five? Oh yeah, six after your Mom started following you as well.
You haven't even played VN, so shut the frick.
That's cool and all, but the game will not be approved.
Valve has made their final decision on the matter, and it can not be appealed.
You'll have to find another game that satisfies your incel fantasies.
You can't even see the differences between different anons you speak to, kiddo. What other words did you learn from Twitter, except the incel one? Can you even count to five?
The decision can not, and will not be appealed. Your crying will not change it.
Then you should go jack off to it instead of crying to me. How many incel games do you need in your collection, exactly?
>instead of crying to me
nobody cares when a sexless hambeast like you clutches pearls and says everything is pornography. this series sells because paranormal murder mystery is rad.
I'm just calling you out as a c**t, and letting you know every anon is going to be playing it in 2 weeks after it's on GOG because I know that puts sand in your vegana
it must be real sand in your vegana knowing that Steam already sells the sequel with even raunchier content. they've made their decision btw, you can't do anything about it sweetheart lol
>because I don't like your sad little incel game that objectifies women
If you genuinely don't like the typical incel, then you should be in support of works like C;H. It's actually a very therapeutic game and like a fourth of the game or something is the protagonist overcoming or moving past the biases he started out with.
The funny/sad part is that ze is pretending to be a reeesetera when it's already been talked about how even they're against this.
That was like 8 years ago Black person. Valve was a lot more involved with the community then. In most recent years they've basically cut themselves off from communicating any issues to fans.
Corporations figured out how to make the 2030plan succeed; Do not talk to your consumers at all. They'll keep consooming anyway.
I really don't understand why companies like Steam keep blaming the ESRB for this kind of thing considering some of the absolute filth that gets listed as M at most.
Imagine if "game journalists" actually did their jobs then this problem would have been nipped at the bud years ago. Literally the most appropriate time for their job to actually help the industry out but they won't.
Game journos are in on the 2030plan and want to eradicate anything that goes against it. That especially includes unpozzed Japanese games
>meanwhile, actual pedo shit is still up on Steam to this day
The only problem is most Westerners don't know about DLsite, they need western advertisements. Maybe word of mouth can get more people buying stuff from there. They have coupons and sales often enough.
Anon, if Epic and GOG can't beat Steam, then Dlsite won't beat Steam either.
Could Nasu get away with a no-porn Heaven's Feel that keeps the abuse/molestation and talks about sex drive these days? It seems kind of ridiculous that adults aren't allowed to buy games about duscussing trauma.
Realta Nua specifically exists because there was no way a store was going to carry a version where Shinji beats Sakura and Shirou gropes her.
Why do you guys even care about the localization? Isn't there literally a troony doing the translation?
Death to Steam
Death to Trannies
Death to California

Literally just learn how to jump through Steam's flaming hoops.
Kagura Games is one of the most successful h-game publishers on the platform and their follower count is on the same tier as AAA devs. All they fricking release are fricking dlsite rpgmaker shit lmao.
Kagura has a person in Valve that favors doing their reviews.
It all comes down to the reviewer you get and they paid to get one that won't say no to them.
cant outfox the fox
they also smartly figured out that chinese translations are way more important than english
which is why mg and jast got easily overtaken
Can someone tell me what the frick this is?
What is "Chaos Head"?
Sounds pretty neg, but I want to know what I'm getting into.
it's a vn. you play as a loser otaku guy. he's got an overactive imagination and imagines the weirdest, weebiest scenarios whenever anything happens (basically he's like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes but a total loser). then you get involved in some bizarre series of murders
That sounds kinda cringe is it based or cringe?
it has based moments but it's mostly cringe

That image is meaningless. They will do what they always do: Force it and spam it over and over and over and over and over until everyone finally gives up and accepts them.
When does Chaos Head get good? I thought the intro sucked apart from the song. I've played up to the part where the MC chooses his swimsuit fetish. If it takes 12 hours for something to happen like the Steins Gate anime, then I'll never finish it.
all games in the series have slow pacing
why are american adhd zoomers like this?
Because there's way more fun things I can do than wading through mediocre writing and plot for several hours.

Do we know yet if the switch version is censored in any way.
Yes you fricking numbskull I thought I made it clear the switch port is a censored version of the game
yeah it's been mentioned a couple of times, the original PC version of NoAH is uncensored but when it was ported to Playstation there was cut content
You're slightly off, Noah's never been on PC. The original release was Xbox 360 and it was uncensored there. It was also uncensored on Vita.
Oh my bad, thought there was a PC release with the 360 in japanese
So... What's going to happen to my VN with schoolgirls flashing their panties, but nothing worse than that?
Should I rebrand it as a troony LGBTQ game?
Put a furry in a nazi uniform on the banner image. You'll be greenlit on the spot.
I like the difference in speculah. Everyone in the west already knows that Valve is anal about schoolgirl outfits and think it's because of the lingerie.
Nips thought that it was because ofminors getting violently murdered.
Of course no matter the reason we all know it's because of one moron they still havent fired.
It being because of the lingerie dlc doesn't make sense because it's DLC they could just not include.
Spike clearly stated that Valve was asking them to remove enough content that Spike decided it wasn't worth releasing in the state it was going to release in.
This shit is impossible to buy in the Mexican eShop. They went 1-1 with the yen-peso conversion
Based Steam making weeb chuds seethe. Hope they will ban more shitty anime "games" too.
>redditor shitting up the thread trying to get steins gate, of all things, out of steam
you know, getting steins;gate involved into the discourse will only help chaos;head, so go ahead report all those CGs
Unironically the best way to fix this would be to mass flag Persona 5 with this tag. If Valve removes it then journos would actually start crying and then they'd be more hands off with anime games from then on.
I do think maybe that's the way forward. Try to get as many things banned as possible that make no sense to force Valve to respond to backlash.
Pointing fingers at other games doesn't work you idiot. It just becomes a moronic witch hunt where the people hunting don't even want to do it.
Focus on the games that got banned not the games that got accepted.
>noooo don't do something that might actually work, sign my useless petition instead!
>It just becomes a moronic witch hunt
This implies that it would be aimless but it would be the opposite of that.
Steam could ban like 30+ high profile VNs and it would only see a fraction of the media coverage that Persona 5 would get.
Persona 5 alone could very reasonably actually get Valve to revise their policies and get old banned games back.
I don't know about "best way to fix it" but it certainly would be the most entertaining seeing years of port begging get shut down due to a VN strike.
My god, I can imagine the threads and they're already hilarious.
If we could get P5 taken down, one of two things will happen.
A. VNs are saved, most if not all bans are reversed.
B. P5 ban sticks, a collective meltdown of proportions hithertoo unseen will cause Valve Software to fall, handing the game store war to Timmy.
Either way it'll be really funny so I think this might be the way to go.
Haha Sega will not let it happen
Epig won't sell porn so DLsite finally wins and becomes well known in the west.
If Steam was to fall, and it won't, I can't imagining EGS rising instead of GOG. Why would it?
Steins;Gate has been a huge seller on steam. Steam banning it like this so many years later would reflect very poorly on Valve.
Hosting CP on your store reflects poorly on Valve too, moron.
Good thing that C;H is neither CP nor porn at all.
why was banned? Does it insult trannies?
That's the big question, there's literally nothing ban worthy considering it relased on home consoles and mobile, and now on the Switch
the developers are transphobic and racist
Kek, I wonder what the context for this scene is.
There's zero reason why Chaos;Child is allowed on the store but not Chaos;Head
Someone at Valve really fricked up
yeah
sean vanaman's gonna get fired lol
I fricking wish, but I feel like Valve will just ignore this situation like they have done before.
>sean vanaman's gonna get fired
I pray to the heavens
One can hope, he was already cutting it close with his Dota2 shenanigans banning teammates he didn't agree with.
They were never consistent. Steins;Gate has scenes like this too.
some naked babes, why should anyone care?
>some naked babes, why should anyone care?
The same could be said for Chaos;Head.
and chaos child actually contains (multiple) violence against minor
I guess you can say that person succeeded in creating chaos.
More like he's delusional (about being a woman)
And thus, Sean "elbow grease" Vanaman has estranged all 15 fans of this franchise, how will steam ever recover
Good. Maybe this will finally light a fire on Valve's gigantic ass.
Imagine spending thousands of dollars to license Chaos;Head from 5pb/MAGES, a high profile and notoriously expensive series for localization, only to get shat on by a fricking rogue employee who most likely routinely allows furry porn on the store
If this doesn't make Valve course correct I don't think anything will
I'll never get why Rimi got two d blades.
I've not been following the debate, but I love underage erotica as long as it is in virtual form (GalGun, GunGun Pixies etc).
What is this game and will the Switch version release in the west uncensored?
The switch version is censored. Which just goes to show how unreasonable this decision by steam is considering it was almost certainly the censored version that they said was no good.
Oh really? Did CERO not accept the content? What did they remove exactly?
I think they removed one of the ending which contain some guro scenes. The rest are typical zoom in and lightshow.
Kozu-pii's route was a fricking massacre. Due to how violent that route was, the game got a Z rating. Every release other than the original Noah release on 360 and the Vita version were changed to lower the age rating.
https://dengekionline.com/elem/000/000/900/900637/
Stop lying, snoy. The developer said they're not releasing it on Steam due toi censorship ruining the game. At the same time, they told fans the Switch version will release as normal on October 7th.
>not releasing it on Steam due toi censorship ruining the game
Right. As in, steam was demanding censorship above and beyond what the developer/publisher was already willing to acquiesce to for the switch release.
Link to source, snoy. Link to official source (not some random Twitter dude who has "contacts") where it says the Switch version is censored.
The original version from 2008 is uncensored, all the versions released today are censored due to CERO having updated their policies since 2008.
There, I hope there are no misunderstandings now.
Not one of you Black folk has posted art of the game.
Why the frick does that matter? What a fricking stupid post.
Hey, did you know that Farming Simulator is a pretty well sold game, yet we don't have more farmers in real life? The genre of farming life sims is quite large yet most people who play them don't even have a garden or some herb pots.
I thought people did the games they played in real life?
There was a guy who went and bought a farm because of stardew valley. And actually just in general the whole "homesteading" thing is quite popular now. How much of that is attributable to media focused on positive portrayals of farming and rural living is obviously hard to say, especially since there has been some degree of idealization of the pastoral since antiquity. But what you're arguing is essentially that even if that was reversed and farming was instead regularly portrayed as a bad thing for bad people, that it would have no effect in reducing people's enthusiasm for living a rural lifestyle. That's a pretty bold claim.
>that it would have no effect in reducing people's enthusiasm for living a rural lifestyle
Consider how much stuff shows the horrors and downside of city living. Then consider that more and more people are still moving to cities.
>people are still moving to cities
Because they have no choice, or at least feel as though they don't. No amount of cultural influence is ever going to get you a job. That's never been the argument. If people are starving, they're going to steal food regardless of what their cultural has to say about that. What people argue about is the degree of influence a culture, and particularly its media, has on people's choices. And I can tell you from a lifetime of seeing people move here to get away from cities as soon as they have the means that, either cities are actually as bad as media portrays them to be or the media is working in convincing people they are.
I hope the people moving away from cities aren't the same people who cause cities to be shitty in the first place.
I'd say it's a mixed bag.
>cities are actually as bad as media portrays them
Having lived in both areas, they really are not great places to live if you had the choice.
I LOVE SUZUHA!
Street racing games and circuit racing games have always been a huge hit yet the amount of people who played them and went on to do those activities are not that many.
Even golfing, fishing, and hunting games haven't created more golfers, fishermen, and hunters in real life.
Superheros games sell loads, yet masked vigilantes aren't out in the streets stopping crime in droves.
is the switch version censored?
yes, it's based on the less violent D-rated version released on PS3/PSP/mobile, despite being rated Z like the uncut 360 and vita versions were.
furthermore, spike chunsoft announced the localized version also removes seira's "swimsuit" costume.
spike chunsoft's line in the sand was, valve wanted them to censor the game even MORE if they were to release it on steam - this is what they refused to do and what the news is about.
okay, so the unofficial translation on PC is still the best way to play this then? Alternatively I could get off my ass and play it in japanese for the practice
>Haha big deal its just a shitty VN anyways who cares
>one decade later: hey did you hear tomb raider 23 was banned on steam because she wasn't wearing her hijab?
Or all the "but the AI's will kill us" media, yet people are pretty excited for AI and advancement in the tech is pushing forward everyday.
being scared of nuclear power was something boomers did back in the day to look like they cared, after letting the vietnam war happen for so long. politicians were more than eager to cater to that rabid voting base. there was never any science or reason behind it
>there was never any science or reason behind it
I'm not saying there was, just that even still today that stigma created back then has stuck around, all solely to media on nuclear power.
>solely due to
Frick Steam.
This is apparently the most English-language publicity Chaos;Head has ever gotten, because articles about Steam rejecting it get pushed to the top of any search you try to do about the game at all.
It's good that the incident is getting publicity, but it's going to make talking about the game annoying for a long time.
