Serisly how come america never gets any hentai games from japan is because the rating system doesn't allow it over here and why do they edit video games from japan to amerca like getting rid of languge nudity parts of the game and every thing.

yea... you ever hear of the AO rating? Try looking up Manhunt 2. Now I know no one ever knows about it. But it's worth looking.

If you can get past the language barrier, you can just import them. Though hentai movies, you can not. Sucks too, since play-asia gives pretty good prices on their hentia umds. As for games, the psp is region free, so go wild.

Maybe if they translate hentai to "Tentacle Fun" they'd release more titles here

yeah i was watching G4TV and watching the "sex and violence explosion episode" then they spoke to a guy that said "in my thoughts,video game producers and companys just dont think many people 16+ play video games ever.If they knew that 250,000,000 people were over 19 years old.they probley make more Adults Only games.but still they dont know for SURE.but i know because im over 25 id play ANY AO game because you usually CANT!"

AND THATS the truth!besides,if you sell it to a 11 year old.you stupid.and your only supposed to sell them to people with ID'S!

US dont get them because they would never sell enough to get profit. There are not many Anime otaku that would pay for hentai game. Most would download it from internet and that means no money for producers.Japan is target market for games like that and us have football games like madden and so on -they dont sell good anywhere else on earth and are not popular.

America has decency laws that govern what can be sold and what can't. Games like the ones you're talking about - basically what amounts to porno gaming - could only be sold in smut shops, and in america people only buy videos from there not sicko cartoon porno games. Sony MS and Nintendo don't allow AO games to be developed for their consoles, so another thing for your porno games is that indie devs are who make them over in Japan- and it would cost them way too much to introduce that crap over here.

Either way, I'm glad to not see that crap here - all these people that love the sick porno can keep it out of my game store thank you very much.

Heres the thing, everybody takes porno differently. I started watching it back when I was 8. Though now, I turned out to be a completely unactive sexually person. Learning things early on can help a person, if they have the mind set to do so. Theres a place in the world for porno, and hentai is another way of expressing it. Guess its how a person thinks about things, since some people like keeping stuff like that secretive. Though as for any psp hentai games? It won't happen. It'd get a automatic AO raiting. Japan is a bit more lenient on what they allow. Exactly why most american castlevania games have been censored, since theres normally some nudity in them.

Its really sad and disgusting to see how america has turned many of these above posters (presumably kids) into such fearfull, hypocritical prudes without them even knowing it...

Fine with me. Peace.

Although I agree with you that there is nothing inherently evil about sex/pornography or anything for that matter. I don't think calling them morons makes any sense. Since as soon as you do that, you are basically doing the same thing as someone who demonizes something that breaks their morals.

As for the OP. Any AO rated game will not be sold at a major retailer. As soon as that happens you have a dead game.

Kimbo, I don't mean to call anyone who disagrees with me about sex not being evil a moron. However, people who use their supposed moral highground as a defensive mechnism to keep from having to think intelligently or at all are synonomous with morons. I am not demonizing any moral viewpoint by calling this certain way of (not) thinking moronic, I am demonizing stupidity, hypocrisy and the way our society has warped people's minds into accepting illogical (not immoral) beliefs.

Gamestop & Bestbuy as well as other retail stores that litter our land CAN carry porn but they CHOOSE not too, Just like 711 convinece stores decided NOT to sell anymore adult magazines,Further more Sony,Nintendo,MS decided not TO SELL adult games on there consoles.

So it doesnt have to do with federal decency laws!

P.S. Someone said Madden NFL is only made for american markets becuz it doesnt sell well in other countrys but if you look at the sells of games in this one country you'll realize people arent exactly focusing on making games for russians,chinese but for americans & japanese

Oh, and here is a censored version of my first post.

----------------------------------------------

Its really sad and disgusting to see how america has turned many of these above posters (presumably kids) into such fearfull, hypocritical prudes without them even knowing it. News flash kids (and brainwashed adults): sex is not the devil, sex is not evil, pictures of people having sex is not evil (if they are consenting, of mature age and are in no way being tricked/harmed). You have been lied to so your parents dont have to buy you as many new pairs of underwear and because fear was the best form of birth control in the olden days. To all you brainwashed-through-religion-or-otherwise, hypocritical morons who say that america has too much 'decency' to release games rated adult for heavy sexuality: incredibly erotic, sometimes disturbingly contexted sex scenes, disgustingly graphic brutal murder scences, scenes glamorizing the use of incredibly dangerous addictive drugs etc. etc. are playing on our televisions day and night for all ages to see and the things they show of sexual nature has rapidly been getting closer and closer to full on visible hardcore sex for years. Our culture continues to worship youth and sex, and our major religions do their best to inspire terror into the youth to keep them from having sex. Instead of teaching our population about the responsibilities and dangers of sex we repress all info, demonize it, and hence lead young people to discover it on their own and mess up their lives in the process.

The netherlands have the lowest teen pregnancy rate in the world and their population is MUCH more (RESPONSIBLY) sexually active than ours because guess what they have realized? Sex is FUN and its not the boogyman! Prostitution is even legal over there because the government doesnt play god like they do here and tell us what we can do with our own bodies when we are not causing the slightest harm to anyone else. Give up your hypocritical moral highground and realize that a sex game where you attach the wii-mote to your hip and bang a girl with a virtual schlong is a helluva lot less morally dangerous and 'evil' than a game where you run around a virtual city doing glamorized drug deals and get rewarded for killing as many innocent civilians as possible.

By the way, I cant wait for the release of GTA4. Yah, theres some sick fun in doing something so obviously WRONG in a virtual world with no real life consequences. However, you make it clear you are a complete moron who takes no time to think for himself when you act like a game such as GTA is fine to release in this country but a sex game is just evil, evil, witchcraft which noone should ever play and they are a disgusting person if they do. Sheesh. Grow up you pansies. You know if you are one of them.

kurtg85

-----------------------------------------------------------

Whats so brainwashed about Sony,MS,Nintendo deciding on to sell AO games on there consoles, becuz thats the reason why its not sold in our country not becuz as you say "Brainwashed Americans" which is an over generlization only a leftest anti-american socialist would say but i shouldnt judge since i like porn but i as a CONSUMER wouldnt buy sum strap on from the wii remote like you discribed & i bet they realized the sells of console based porn wouldnt sell well becuz the other huge retailers wouldnt sell them

P.S. prostitution is legal in navada which last i checked is part of america & another thing netherlands has a puny population compared to ours & they are cracking down on legel prostitution so your just finding an excuse to bash america

America has "Decency laws". Thats almost comical. Sexually explicit material is readily available in every media outlet there is- tv, magazines, music & video, movies, and ESPECIALLY the internet- FREE OF CHARGE in almost all these cases, and people are getting their panties in a bunch over some cartoon porn? Thats a joke, right?

Thank you Lamech. Exactly my point, its so hypocritically holier than thou (aka japan) its funny.

Worm dude, (or whoever was writing in green text) you either didnt read or comprehend what I typed. Im not bashing america and its industry's choices I am calling out people who take a high moral stance and make a big deal over sex games possibly coming to american consoles while much, much more universally accepted morally wrong situations are rampant in entertainment media of all kinds. Like Lamech said, its just funny and kind of sad at the same time that some brainwashed or just morally confused (I was there at one point too, I dont mean it as a brutal insult, we are all young and uninformed at one point in our lives) people take such a strong stance against entertainment based on something natural (yet personal) while they have no moral qualms about entertainment using senseless violence, dangerous drug use etc. If everyone could just grow up and accept that these are videogames (of any genre) and they arent going to hurt anyone unless they are given to people of an immature mindset than we'd all be back to common sense land.

kurtg85

So your arguement is that violence is far worse opposed to sex. And these people who shun the idea of pornographic sex barely wince at the sight of gratuitous violence, even though violence is obviously much worse. Because of this, these people are acting nonsensically. Correct?

If so, then what would you say to people who feel that pornographic sex is much worse than gratuitous violence?

Those people being the ones you have been reffering to the whole time.

What I'm trying to say is, determining people as stupid or brainwashed for believing what they believe may not achieve the desired effect. Since we all believe what we believe, which would mean we are all stupid or brainwashed.

Yeah, but what they believe is factually incorrect, it doesn't make any sense to believe that.

Perhaps so, but they are probably thinking the same thing. Especially when it comes to something subjective, like in this case: sex vs violence. Or in other words, perhaps, it is not factually incorrect, just generally, or subjectively.

So with that said, what am I trying to say? Well I am not skeptical about your point, since you explained your reasoning and I'm sure it makes sense to you. But I am skeptical of your determination of their stupidity or brainwash-ed-ness

So what I'm suggesting is that you may find that you have a much more unsubjective arguement if you allow people to determine themselves for themselves , by asking them to explain - opposed to stating their nonsensical conclusion. Since their conclusion may be sensical under different values.

So I guess what I'm really suggesting, atleast in a subjective context, is that all you can really argue is whether someone really agrees with what they say, and making any external determination is some what irrelevant.

Funny thing is, all you have to say is that you believe those who disagree with you on this point are brainwashed, stupid, or hypocritical, and I would have nothing to say to you. However, I don't think you just unrelentingly believe that. Instead I suspect you are using the fact that violence is worse than sex to justify the determination of their hypocrisy. And with that I question whether you really believe that all people think violence is worse than sex - or in other words, whether it is infact a fact?

-Sorry about the long post... I had some time... I guess it was just something different to talk about.

There is nothing wrong with porn, porn stars are actresses, not prostitutes there IS a difference. If you think they are all the same then YOU have a problem and have no respect. Plus it's cultural problem.... see the above posters going "thats just wrong"? Won't happen in japan they are really open about sex, and really whats wrong with sex? It's a way of life there is nothing wrong with it, it's just that the media made it all messed up... american media in particular O__o

wow, this topic was annoying at first but there are some really intelligent arguments going on now, cool.

And to whoever said this has to do with decency laws.... HAHAHA, lol... America, decent? are we talking about the same country here? I'm actually surprised hentai games haven't came to America (not that I would like them to [keep them out I say]) we have sex everywhere else, even games like GTA like to tiptoe towards the idea with there 'prostitute in the car' bit. but turn on the news, turn on the TV to any station (assuming you looking at American based channel) and you will see America has absolutely no decency, the only real reason I can imagine, as stated above, is due to a lack of a solid market, and media taboos. But really, with all the violence and drugs we have on game, I really wonder why the media has a taboo on the only natural and necessary one.

As suggested in post above Violence and drugs are by far much worst, It really is the taboo the media makes it and the complete unnatural way 90% of porn is displayed. I have a picture that can really make my point.

In conclusion, drugs, violence, and sex should really stay out of games, I don't support the way its completely over done now a days, but if we are going to use this stuff, we don't need unnecessary taboos and hypocrisy, and who are we kidding America, with decency... lol not in a million years, but then again, I think that's part of our charm.

no need to, I would only ask them to take the hassle of translating them into english, since the games are region free.

Not even the PSP gets the true hentai, instead, it's more story and different CG, which is better. That is, if you are talking about Visual Novels.
