Baldur's Gate 3's Japanese release is getting rid of some of Faerûn's best pastimes - excessive bonking and excessive violence. When the RPG hits the region on December 21, it will remove the ability to enable nudity, and will seemingly censor the sex scenes even further

They should make the Mindflayers more creative with their tentacles to compensate.

Japanese moders begin writing notes furiously

Sounds like a great way to increase pirating of the game in Japan…

As far as I know you can already buy the game via Steam or GOG over there. So I guess this is for the PS5 version.

Yeah, I’ve already got it from Steam.

Console games have much stricter rules about what can or can not be shown than pc games over here, so this sounds about right for the PS5 release.

What are they supposed to romance the characters for the plot?

Why? You should play some Japanese uhhh dating simulators. Nudity is quaint.

[–] stopthatgirl7@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Those are likely PC games, yes? Japan has stricter rules for games on consoles.

I'm confused by this, considering the absolutely depraved games coming out of Japan. Looking at you, Atlus. Or is anime depravity okay?

Why are games geo-limited nowadays? Can't someone from japan just download from steam and play the NA version?

I was able to buy it the day it came out on Steam, even though there was no official Japanese release yet, and it wasn’t censored.

Steam isn’t as friendly for having multiple accounts as the PS store, though. I have a US account and a Japanese account on PlayStation, so I could get games that didn’t release over here or where they were censored here like BG5 through the US account. Steam won’t let you just create another account in another country, seems like. Which is annoying.
