  1. Birth rates =/= sex. Plenty of people in first world countries have sex. We still have low birth rates to the point of being propped up by immigrants. But Japan probably has a bunch of factors contributing. Being overworked making people to tired for sex, the cost of having kids, overpopulation (was it Japan or China with bubble hotels?) , being desensitized to the point where reality cant satisfy you sexually*, being a shutin and/or neet, ignoring relationships for other things like anime or games (kinda like some guys in the west) or whatever else. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/20/young-people-japan-stopped-having-sex *Aoyama cites one man in his early 30s, a virgin, who can't get sexually aroused unless he watches female robots on a game similar to Power Rangers. I wont even bother trying to understand Japan. They make good games and some anime I like, thats enough for me.
  2. Some are. Some are awesome. And then there's Rapelay. Hehe I've never played that game, never going to play that game lol. That said, you got me curious on what the actual rape rate was in Japan, because it seems like they have a higher acceptance of rape in their media than we American do. Interestingly enough, the rape rate in Japan is 1 per every 100K people, while in the US, it's 27.3 for every 100K people. So despite having much more rape portrayed in their media, Japan has 27 times less rapes than the US does. Strike one against rape culture theory I guess lol. The Japanese are probably not raping so much because they are inside fapping to porn. Kinda like how violent videogames keep people inside, preventing them from committing violent actions outside. I havent actually played rapelay, but if it gives people with strange fetishes an outlet and keeps them indoors, I dont have a problem with it.
  3. Some are. Some are awesome. And then there's Rapelay. Once it gets Occulus RIft support you and I both know it will win GoTY every year.
  4. Exactly. That's why you mustn't budge at first. If you do, well, then you're gonna get fuc*** by just about every internet demographic out there. Devs need to follow Daniel Vavra's example and just refuse to change anything. They've given up on him and his game. I mean I'm sure they'll give him hell again when the game gets released, but it'll blow over. I think the best devs to follow would be these guys, mainly Kamiya (I could post several images showing why I love this guy). George Kamitani is fine too. Japanese games are horrible... Some are, some arent. If you think they are as a whole, you either have horrible taste or bad luck picking them out.

  6. When the game is an interactive 2 hour long text only book like Depression Quest? Please dont insult visual novels. I have read some which had pretty good quality, better than DQ anyway.
  7. Hmmm, a culture of blaming men,treating them as disposable and encouraging self loathing leads more to male suicide. What a shocker. http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/016/659dkrod.asp I have no plans to kill myself in the foreseeable future. But I cant say I hold any love for my country either, so I probably wouldnt help it out in my lifetime.
  8. They deleted the other thread. Whatever, still hoping for that refund. Enjoy your new fanbase Obsidian. Just dont act suprised when you find yourself very limited in what you can write.
  9. I find the term "basement-dwellers" offensive. I dont have a basement. Obsidian please remove this disgusting attack on harmless, subterranean denizens. They shouldnt be attacked for their alternate, sun fearing lifestyle.
  10. Imo, Obs has the right to add or subtract anything they feel is in their best business interests. The "offending" memorial should have been addressed when it was submitted, not down the road when everyone craps themselves. Catering to a disturbed person on twitter who probably hasn't played the game over the people who actually funded the game is totally in their long term business interests. I wonder what content will be deemed problematic for the next patch. Kill all Elves!
  11. I still havent redeemed my steam key (I was waiting until I finished building a better PC). I wonder if I could get a refund. Probably not, but I wont be buying Obsidian games in the future, atleast I wont buy them new. 3 Issues 1) You guys ****ed up. You allowed the content then removed it. You either shouldnt have put it in to begin with, or kept it. 2) You caved because of a few thin skinned people on twitter (I wonder how many acually backed you), on a matter that is subjective (being offended). Can you also kill all elves because my headmate Pelinal Whitestrake finds them offensive? 3) This guy you screwed over, paid for that reward. Did you atleast give him a refund, because this being done quietly makes me think you didnt. Enjoy your thin skinned fans Obsidian. Lets hope they actually support you enough to buy your games when they arent whining on twitter.
