Naughty JRPG Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors Denied a Rating In Germany; Won’t Be Sold in the Country

NIS America announced today with a press release that the Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK), which is Germany’s video game ratings board, refused to rate Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors for PS Vita.

[Yi-Long]

NIS is already hard at work completely butchering the game anyway, so the Germans aren't missing out on much...

[Anthotis]

A country that floods itself with rapists from the 3rd world bans suggestive animation in video games...

[Zodiac]

Bless Germany for their extending of human compassion.

[Yi-Long]

Didn't know hate-speech was now allowed on this site. Shameful. I could respond with facts, stats and numbers about the crime-rates of refugees in Germany and other W-European countries, compared to the native population, and also the crimes they're actually involved with (orjust give one of the many links to articles about this subject: http://www.politifact.com/t... ) , but my experience with racists is that they usually don't care much for facts, stats etc etc.

Plus considering how off-topic your refugee/muslim-bashing is, I expect it to be deleted pretty quickly anyway, so why bother...!?

[Yi-Long]

@Bruce: Like I said, I have no illusion stats and facts will make a difference in the opinion of people like Anthotis. Also, it's not my responsibility to make other people less ignorant: that's a personal obligation, and those facts and stats are readily available for anyone to seek out. I provided a link and there are many more.

However, people will believe what they want to believe, so they'll hold on to the notion that most refugees are young males (most are women and children), and most of them are 'rapists' or 'extremists' (nope). I could write a billion words and link to research and stats and all that, and it wouldn't make a difference on those opinions.

So why bother...? And why are we even having a discussion about 'refugee rapists' on a gaming-site. That's just hate-mongering and nothing more.

[krazeecain]

@yi-long

At what point was Anthotis racist? He said: "A country that floods itself with rapists from the 3rd world"

He didn't say that EVERYONE immigrating into Germany were rapists, but that rapists are flooding into the country, do you understand that difference? Nuance is tricky, I know. It means that he is in fact, NOT accusing all immigrants of being rapists!

Look, I'm not saying I agree with the sentiment, but I'm not comfortable with your extremely liberal use of the term "hate-speech" or "racist". It's not necessarily hate speech, and it's certainly not racism. Those are harsh judgements to pass on someone based on one vague sentence. But I know that you're just trying to dismiss and censor someone based on a political opinion that you disagree with, and my experience with people of your ilk is that they usually don't care much for facts, statistics, etc.

Yeah it feels kinda bad to be dismissed like that, doesn't it?

[SpringHeeledJack]

Yi long. Anything you don't agree with you call a hate speech.

The problem is these are new people who straight away are attacking people who took them in and doing it because of cultural reasons, regardless of you claiming the domestic population also commit crimes, 2 wrongs don't make a right. It was madness and selfish to impose a million people on a country with drastically different cultures, without asking your people if they wanted it.

[chillzi]

@Anthotis
ehm the united states has the hightest rate of rape crime, not germany. I am from germany. What do you mean with "rapists from the 3rd world"? You mean the refugees that come from syria,palestine, afghanistan etc. to germany because they want to be protected from war?

It is astonishing how you people dont even have a clue about the current situation that is going on in the world let alone make stupid comments like this one.

[Stringerbell]

The peanut gallery will always pontificate about things they know nothing about. I doubt many of the vocal ones here have a passport let alone could point out Germany on a map. The debate of censorship of this game in particular is one thing, taking shots of people who have had their livelihoods destroyed and have fled from hell is another. Viele grüße aus Ilmenau.

[CaptainObvious878]

@Chillzi and Stringer

I really really hate to sound like a feminist, but you both need to educate yourself.

Look at the crime rate before your tolerable country started letting in swarms of muslims.

Now look at the current crime rate.

Do you notice something?

I suggest you start doing basic research before telling people to get a clue.

[BattleAxe]

@ Chillzi

If anyone here is clueless, it's you. There are small towns in Germany that are being overrun with more refugees than there are citizens in the town. There was a story I was reading of a town of roughly 250 people, who were overrun by 900 refugees. These refugees were forced onto the town without their input or consent. You people aren't going to have a country left, once your globalist Chancellor and the European Union are done with their plans. Even the French are completely clueless about their own situation. It's no wonder that the British voted to leave the E.U., it's a complete disaster, and getting worse! You people need to wake the f*** up!

[chillzi]

@BattleAxe @CaptainObvious

ehm excuse me. I live in germany and we have a refugee home next to our house. I also do volunteer work and help those people out. These people are traumatized and lived in fear because of war. Now they are finally opening up and can begin to smile anymore because they are safe here. Do I need people like you to tell me what is happening in germany? No I dont think so because I know whats going on here. I visited many refugee homes and have seen the state in which the people are in. They lost their home, their money and lost their loved ones.

Also you need to pay attention to my post from before I said rate of rape crime not the crime rate altogether. There are people who are bad I will not deny that, but to say that everyone is like that is certainly absurd and absolutely not realistic at all.

But if we are talking about the bad people here who are "rapists" and have supposedly run over our country (who abuse our system), then let me ask you this. Who's fault is it exactly that this happened? I tell you who: The U.S. and Great Britain and I am not the only one who is thinking this. They have completely destroyed syria, afghanistan, etc. and now the people dont have a home anymore. The U.S dont help the refugees and send them right back to us and we have to deal with the problem here. We have accepted over 1 million refugees and the US struggles to even accept 10000 from syria. The germans feel that it is their responsiblity to help those people who have escaped from war. But I dont know if the US and Britain are also serious about this matter.

Basic research you tell me all? I think you need to get your facts straight not me. Many people in the US have absolutely no clue what is happening in germany.

And this will be my last post here because I dont wanna reply to any of you anyway since I couldn't really care less what you hear about germany in the news or in some paper, when you never have even seen the current situation in my country.

[Stringerbell]

@CaptainObvious878

What are you on about? Take your own advice please. Here is the raw data in English for you about crime rates and the 'swarms' of refugees.

http://www.politifact.com/t...

'Trump said Germany "is crime-riddled right now" because of migration to Europe. There are more criminal acts in Germany these days because there are more people, thanks to the influx of 1.1 million refugees in 2015 alone. But the data suggest that the refugees tend to be better-behaved than the typical German. Even if you presume that refugee-related crime is underreported for political reasons, we could find no evidence in German media reports that the country warrants Trump's riddled-with-crime characterization. Because his statement contains some element of truth but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression, we rate it Meist Falsch — MOSTLY FALSE.

Does that count as basic research? I think so.

[Imalwaysright]

@ chillzi

True. Bush and Blair's countries should be 1st ones to open their arms to the middle eastern refugees and point their fingers at themselves for the rise and growth of ISIS.

[CaptainObvious878]

http://www.news.com.au/fina...

https://www.gatestoneinstit...

You have to be careful where you get your news sources from since there'an obvious attempt at a nation wide cover up.

It's great that you personally have somehow found all the nice refugees, that are actual refugees and are actually in need and not jihadist, but that's just anecdotal evidence. I'm interested in statistics and facts, not feels.

Haven't you been watching the news lately? There seems to be a radical muslim attack in your country every other week. But you know, keep being tolerable and letting people like these in that think Sharia law superceeds german law.

https://www.rt.com/news/347...

Keep sticking your head in the sand and when your country ends up like France and continues to decline I will have absolutely no sympathy for you. You're going to let the guilt what what your ancestors did destroy your country and your great culture. It's very very sad to watch actually. I really hope for your sake and the good people of germany that you wise up.

You keep talking about getting a clue. I do not think it means what you think it means.

[Idiedgoodbye]

I live in America and you'll never hear about that truth in the news

[Chexs1990]

You sir, are most likely an uninformed moron.
There have been cases of rape amongst some of the refugees, yes. However, in the wake of these transgressions, the perpetrator has been shunned and spit at, by the other refugees in the camps.
So no, there are no "flooding", just a minority of retard perps and a majority of people whom should stop writing comments based on imaginative facts -_-

[Forum_Pirate]

People will just pirate it, or import it. It isn't hard. Banning media never stops anyone who really wants it.

[nodim]

Ya can't pirate vita games. At least yet.

[DafunkyRebel]

the same country that had genocides and nasty bukkake porn is restricting a video game. Sure why not

[Hoffmann]

Don't let people remind you at the shit that happened in your country 80 years ago.

It was bad everywhere at that time.

[TheColbertinator]

True. 80 years ago Europe was on fire and East Asia was a butcher shop for the Imperial Japanese

[Muzikguy]

And in America we had many races without rights and gender inequality. You bring up a very valid point. Nobody should be pointing any fingers at anyone for their country doing one thing or another. They ALL have questionable pasts. As long as they've moved on, there's no problem

[ChrisW]

Don't forget the genocide of millions of Native Americans...

[PaleMoonDeath]

Funny, after all the messed up rape happening with the refugee's that arrived you'd think they'd have toughened up a little. Or defended it's own country.. either or really.

[ShaunCameron]

I'm surprised that PC Sweden found enough common sense to wise up.

[PaleMoonDeath]

Me too, criminals are criminals, regardless of background or faith.

[annoyedgamer]

Inching closer to Sharia law, fits perfectly with their new "guests".

[Idiedgoodbye]

Will Sharia ever come to America? I sure hope not.

If she did arrive I'm sure lady liberty would assemble an army to cast her out

[rainslacker]

Doubt it. Way too much money in womens fashion and cosmetics to have women start covering up. The economy would collapse within a week....instead of the few years it's taking now.

[chillzi]

the reason why we have these "guests" is because some of them are families who dont have a home anymore because !!!!surprise!!!! their countries have been destroyed. At least the germans try to help them.

This has absolutely nothing to do with any "sharia laws". Germany has always been like that with movies and video games.

[annoyedgamer]

All I see is young men. Highly doubt its poor families running around molesting women at music festivals and butchering innocents at cafes.

[chillzi]

@annoyedgamer

Where do you get your information from? I know what I have seen. I have been to countless refugee homes in germany and have seen many people, who have been traumatized by the events in syria and so on. I have seen many widows and their children, who have lost their father. Ironically it's more woman with their children who are in these refugee homes and not single men. Music festivals? Do you mean the one in Köln where their were 4 men involved which have been caught. Yeah thats called a minority. People are good and some are bad. That doesnt mean all of them are. The news do that constantly and report something over and over again, until people think all refugees are criminals or all muslims are terrorists. I am really tired of this islamophobia bullshit.

[WelkinCole]

Thank you for having human compassion for your fellow human beings. It must be really hard to do so with the constant asses that don't do anything but fault you guys for doing something instead of leaving women and children die at the gates.

Know that many in the world applaud the many Germans that choose to help rather than turn their backs despite the difficult circumstances you guys face.

It is not a sign of weakness. It actually takes great courage and sacrifice to do what is right which is what you guys are doing now.

Its easy for me to say this because I am not involved but I trust that Germans such as yourself know what you guys are doing which I think is highly commendable.

History will judge people and it will judge those that idly sit by and bitch and let thousands die and those that instead did something to help.

Thank you.

[LoveSpuds]

All America and Britain have spread is death and destruction across the globe in the name of democracy and freedom over the last 60 years. Germany should be proud of their actions and foreign policy which is more than can be said for the US and UK.

[annoyedgamer]

I doubt you will find many of us here supporting the foolish war ventures in the middle east. I am certainly against it. But this issue goes alot deeper than those wars, it has to do with censorship where innocent victims are muffled and freedom of expression is stifled.

[LoveSpuds]

@AnnoyedGamer

I assume you are American, what if I were to judge you based on your fellow countrymen's behaviour when they carry out mass shootings, or look to restrict freedoms of women, gay people or the scientific community because of their religeous beliefs?

Americans act like arseholes too but you wouldnt want the rest of the world to judge you all because of the actions of the minority.

I grew up and live in a fairly mixed community, some of the loveliest people I have ever known were muslim, do not be so quick to judge squire.

[ShaunCameron]

Says a poster who lives in a country probably too small to defend itself and needs America and England for its protection. If it wasn't for them, you'd probably be a German colony or a Soviet state a long time ago.

[LoveSpuds]

@ShaunCameron

Sorry buddy, I am British and proud of it and come from a family who have mostly served in the Army. I am not however, blind to the fact than British foreign policy is questionable at best and I am not the only one. There have been calls far and wide for Tony Blaire to be held accountable for his decision to invade Iraq.

The money the US spends on its millitary is eye watering and the idea that you are protecting yourselves by destabilising other sovereign states is utterly ridiculous.

[Hoffmann]

I love how a coment about the quality of Gamingbolt articles gets marked as inapproviate here after minutes but a comment like yours stays untouched.

[abra511]

at least the Sharia law never killed over 100 million innocent people and took their home

[FlyingFoxy]

With many blaming certain people from the Middle East lately, all i can think of is Coach's quote from Left 4 Dead 2 "Man, this about to get all Baghdad and s**t"

You know there's a big problem with the place when it's referenced in a game like that.

[TheColbertinator]

Even the thumbnail pic got censored hah.

Censorship everywhere yet the West continues to increase its military strength and pornography industry.

[opinionated]

Lol@the Germans here trying to justify their demise in "compassion". I feel so bad for Europe. Not for the jihadi attacks that happen every 84 hours now but being wiped out political correctness. What a pussy way to go out. America is right behind you fellas. Sad times indeed.

[LoveSpuds]

I think you right wing nutjobs are confusing compassion and consideration with political correctness. Europe views the attrocities in the US with just as much dismay, mass shootings, regular shootings of unarmed civilians by a seemingly untouchable police force but we do not judge you all as mindless or weak willed.

Violence and intolerance will never resolve anything and while tighter security will certainly help, I hope we never see the likes of Trump in power in a European country.

[opinionated]

And you guys don't have half of the security that the US does. That's why I feel bad for you. Some people take kindness for weakness and you are going to find out the hard way. Your PC will end you. That's not "right wing Nutjob" talk. That's reality.

[Stringerbell]

Yes some people do take kindness for weakness. Does that mean you go about life as a shrewd mean individual? No. Stop generalizing. And dont confuse PC with being a decent individual. If I volunteer my time and donate to refugees its not because I'm being 'PC' its because I want to help others, that is how I was raised and I dont need to feel ashamed about it in the least, thank you very much.

[LoveSpuds]

@opinionated

As brutal and tragic as the terrorist attacks on civilians in western Europe are, I believe we are far more secure than you are in the US.

Ultimately, the political or religeous beliefs of the perpetrators of violent acts are irrelevant, the violence still results in the same thing, tragedy. Far more people die at the hands of brutes and thugs in the US than they do in any European Country you care to name and I would go on to suggest that your own police forces who are supposed to protect you, kill more people than European based terrorists. So I ask you again, do the motives really matter to the victims?

[opinionated]

"As brutal and tragic as the terrorist attacks on civilians in western Europe are, I believe we are far more secure than you are in the US."

That's just not true at all. You guys are in for a world of shit. We are too but our intelligence and data is unmatched. You are nowhere close. You guys are flying blind with open borders.

Are you really spitting black lives matter "facts" at me right now? Cops kill more people than terrorists or Europeans, what a fucking joke of a statement lol. Have you actually looked at the numbers of unjust killings?

Yeah people get shot here and considering that half of the country is armed to the teeth the number is relatively low. Not everyone who gets shot is a "victim". Gang warfare is bad in the US and that counts for the vast majority of US killings especially black on black violence..You are inviting the same shit into your country with open arms, 3rd world savagery. I agree that it's very kind of you to relinquish your country and rights. I'm just saying it's stupid.

[Stringerbell]

And lol at the sociopaths equating lending a helping hand to armageddon. Seek help.

[opinionated]

Try lending a helping hand to your own countrymen. They are seeking help.

I'm not saying you should feel ashamed. I'm just saying it will end you and it will. You're PC because you're PC. I mean look at the other guy, the country that brought us hitler and both world wars hopes he never gets a trump. That's hilariously rich. Your kindness blinds you, you're oblivious to your national suicide and identity. I'm not hating on you for being compassionate, that's admirable. Ruining your continent to appease others is less admirable.

[Stringerbell]

Oh please. Whats the saying?The sky is falling? Really guy I dont need any worldly advice from captain hyperbole. You know its far easier for you to come out and say you dont like these types of people. You dont have to do mental gymnastics and a song and dance for me, man up.

And a little history lesson for you Hitler was from a county called Austria (which is not Germany btw).

[opinionated]

Lmao yeah it's much easier to just call me xenophobic instead of accepting facts, logic and reason. I'm not giving you any advice lol. Your countries problems have no affect on me whatsoever. If most Germans are like you I'd say you probably deserve it anyways.

[Stringerbell]

What exactly are these facts again? I just see ramblings and a lot of projecting? What do we deserve? Bad things to happen because we are trying to help people? Fantastic logic. And I did not call you xenophobic, I called you hyperbolic but if the shoe fits, have at it.

[opinionated]

Everything I have said is factual. The things you call "mental gymnastics" is all truth you are unwilling to accept. Trust that's it's much easier for me to list facts than it is for you to figure out which name to call me. For a "nice kind guy" you sure do have a rabid bite. I expect nothing less from PC though.

You deserve to lose your culture and state if most Germans are like you (I'm fairly certain that most are not given how Merkell is catching shit). You're not even willing to fight for it, you don't even know you're in a war. You honestly think you are doing something good and on a personal level I'm sure you are. Nationally you are a tragic disaster. Your PC is killing the soul of your country, our countries. That's all I'm saying.

You did call me xenophobic in so many words. You said why don't I just admit I hate the people. It's a simple minded PC copout. I don't want to import millions of people from a war torn country that we are also at war with, no. We are at war with a guerrilla group that infiltrates and radicalizes and were dumping them into open borders. That's pure madness. That's not xenophobic, that's basic fucking security. You guys have already accepted terror attacks as the norm and it will only get worse. There needs to be a safe zone in Syria where they can go.

[Stringerbell]

But you have not listed any facts. I asked for them and then you start ranting and spouting PC over and over as if that is supposed to mean something. I'm sure in the echo chambers you frequent it does... But all I am getting from you is that it offends you that Germany is helping these refugees and because ISIS exists that means we cant trust any of them and they should all be condemned to the horrors of their country. Well I disagree with that. Am I allowed to disagree or is that PC now too?

[opinionated]

You're not saying anything at all besides random insults. Everything I said I could back up factually and statistically. Including the dangers of the PC mindset but you really just need to look out of the window for that proof. Just because you don't accept it doesn't make it any less true. You can disagree all you want, I'm not offended lol.

You want to help refugees, that's fine. You volunteer and welcome millions upon millions of 3rd world cultured migrants with open arms. Did that fix the problem? Does Isis still exist? Are the refugees stopping any time soon? Are you going to make it a full time job cleaning refugee boots?

Not only are you taking in Syrians, your open borders and welfare benefits attracted the entire region. Are you really helping these people? Did they come from Afghanistan to adopt your culture and become a BMW mechanic? Or did they bring their culture to you. Time will tell my friend. I hope you are right for your sake. I have no stake in what plays out for Germany. That's not anything for me to be offended by, that's on you.

[Stringerbell]

I'll do you one better with facts showing these people are not the barbarian hordes you paint them as http://www.politifact.com/t...

I'm not an ethnic German - neither of my parents are ethnic Germans. My grandparents emigrated to Germany from a worse off place. They made a better life for themselves here adopting the German lifestyle and ethos, now its my turn to extend the same helping hand they once received. No one here is saying we can take an infinite amount of people or that we can solve the worlds problems in one fell swoop, thats foolish. But if we can help some people make a better life for themselves, so much the better.

Must we be wary of those taking advantage of our kindness, of course but I dont think at the expense of turning everyone away. That is my opinion.

[LoveSpuds]

Stringerbell, you will never get through to someone like Opinionated who views the world through the lense of Fox News. Your country is utterly beautiful and its no suprise it was recently voted one of the best counties to live in. You and your countrymen should feel very proud of your role in helping the people escaping from a warzone.

While the UK and US made pledges to help rescue these unfortunate people they are far behind delivering on their promise. They prefer to spend billions on nukes, bullets and bombs.

[Killa78]

Trump voter spotted.... #LowIQ

[opinionated]

I can't stand trump. I also take dumps smarter and less corny than you. Stay witty with the hashtags pal.

[Imalwaysright]

Of course you have better security. Watching 5 minutes of any US news channel is enough for me to realize that many US citizens surely have to live in a state of constant fear and paranoia. You seem to be one of them.

[opinionated]

Lmao! Oh yeah, terrified. As bad of shape my country is in I thank baby fucking Jesus I'm not European. You guys have fun killin em with kindness. I'll check back in a few months from now to see your progress.

[Imalwaysright]

It's not killing them with kindness or being PC. It's being able to ask myself: what if it were me?

[LoveSpuds]

People like opinionated dont see it, they believe the lies their ruling classes feed them in the media so they accept the imposition of a police state, they believe that bombing other countries makes them safer at home. They could wipe out hunger and homelessness in the US with what the spend on their military each year but where is the profit in that for the ruling elite?

Just remember that there are many more fantastic people in the US who are compassionate and kind. The toxic and vitriolic language coming out of the US these days is a result of Trump emboldening and validating the beliefs of the ill educated and closet racists.

[opinionated]

I am asking that. I am asking "what if I were European". That's why I said I feel bad for them.

@lovespuds
Lol you're so full of crap and off of the mark. You're just throwing shit accusations at the wall and hoping something sticks. I am very much a limited government guy, a "right wing Nutjob" remember? I can't stand the media or the ruling class. I can't stand trump "the outsider" that just endorsed the most establishment republicans in congress, he's a fake joke. You don't know what I think so stop pretending you do. If you want to have a conversation and know what I think then talk to me instead of butting in and being a cheerleader with your lies and accusations. I'm the type that cheered for the brexit decision. You voted to stay in the EU didn't you? If so you're the last person I want to see talking about being a slave to the "ruling class". A socialist saying things like "ruling class and police state" is hilarious to me. Don't be an asshole, be civil.

[Mulando]

Don't know what the article is really about. Here in Germany, yes we have really strict rules for rating video games. If a game does not get a rating, it gets automatically a "18" sticker on it. It can be normally sold to persons that are 18+ years old.
If the game is on the index, you can still buy it if you can verify that you are 18+ years old.
It's another thing if a game (like the first Wolfenstein) has nazi symbols in it. Than it is not permitted to sell or even import the game. But's that's another story, well because of our history and I hope everybody can understand that.

[rainslacker]

Will major retailers stock those 18+ games on their shelves?

Here in the US we have rating for 18+ only, with similar restrictions, but every major publisher avoids it because places, namely GameStop, Wal-Mart, and Best Buy, among others, will not stock the game, thus seriously hindering it's sales potential. That's why a lot of games get "censored" for US release more than the cries of the SJW crowd, because it doesn't take much to achieve the AO18 rating, unless it's for violence, in which case it has to be pretty extreme violence....like very extreme and extremely graphic.

[donwel]

Surprising considering NISA will be butchering it to buggery and beyond

[ALICE666]

The more they try to ban it the more I want it.. importing it is again... :0

[thejigisup]

What is this "other game"? For science of course

[GrimDragon]

This game sucks anyway.
