RapeLay raped off Japanese shelves for good

Destructoid: "This is one of those stories that makes us happy, not because we want to see RapeLay, the controversial game that was "discovered" on Amazon.com, taken off store shelves, but because it proves a point.

I always hear about how messed up Japan is because they play games depicting rape, so on and so forth. Well, that's not the case here because Canned Dogs reports that mainstream Japan has caught word of this game, and begun doing news reports on it. And this news has made a lot of non-otaku people mad. In response to this, Illusion has removed Rapelay from their website, and is now out of production."

Damn I dont even know why they make this cr@p, the japanese cant get laid so they make a rape simulator, Hmph..pathetic.

[nothere413]

Do you honestly believe that? If you're gonna make comments like that, stick to the Open Zone.

[The_Devil_Hunter]

First of all dont talk to me as if you know me, second, go play rapelay you sex offender.

[beardpapa]

^^ Funny that you say

"First of all dont talk to me as if you know me,"

and yet you make an assumption that Japanese people don't get laid so they make crap like this.

[PinkUni]

you're a racist little prick devil hunter

i hope someone in your family gets raped

[Panthers]

Why is he racist? He is right that this game is highly offensive. If they made a game just about killing blacks, people would go CRAZY. But if it is about raping women, no one seems to care. People are such hypocrites.

"Why is he racist? He is right that this game is highly offensive. If they made a game just about killing blacks, people would go CRAZY"

Yet, when it's about killing asians, germans or arabs, no one complains. But blacks and jews are a big no no. As a matter of fact, you could make a game which is only about killing arabs and dogs, and the only complaints tou would be getting would be for the dog murdering. So yeah, people ARE hypocrites, no doubt.

Also, I believe they called him racist, not because he was offended by the game, which is only natural, but because he generalized and said that Asians can't get laid, which is somewhat insulting.

[Kakkoii]

Just like GTA IV, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY THIS GAME. People should be free to make whatever f*cking game they want. Doesn't mean your forced to play it.

And it's doesn't breed rapist's. The kind of people who rape already have a messed up mind before playing these kinds of games. Most people know the difference between a game and real life. Just like games like GTA don't make a bunch of people start wanting to kill cops and hookers, neither does this game make people want to rape in real life. It merely plays on the eroticism brought on by what is forbidden. But people know the difference between a 3D model and a real person who has feelings.

[The Pheen-X]

Wow, people actually call this guy racist but its true, haha, damn japs...You go devil-b@stard.

[Megaton]

Torrents are eternal.

I'm considering downloading this game, just to see what all the fuss is.

[PirateThom]

Waste of bandwidth. My friend was also curious, but there's really no gameplay at all. Being a rape simulator is one thing, but there's really no game as such.

[beardpapa]

You can actually find this on a torrent or rapidshare easily. But like Thom said there's really no gameplay to it.

I don't really see why the media is getting all over this game. Japan has a huge community of eroge and there are far crazier games, movies, anime, hentai, etc than this RapeLay game. Even their "general audience" public tv anime is more risque than it ever was 10-20 years ago. Makes AdultSwim look like its wearing diapers.

[The Pheen-X]

Its funny how you talk about this game as if youve never played it hahahah.

[Megaton]

Thanks for the heads up, and yeah, it sounds like pretty standard fare for your average hentai flick. Everyone getting their panties in a wad over something that I've seen countless times before in erotic anime and games.

I remember that old G4 show Cinematech: Nocturnal Emissions ran censored clips from some tentacle rape game. You could still see exactly what was going on, despite the censor blur.

[beardpapa]

Lmao Pheen. ;-) I saw the media cover this (not just n4g but Fox news as well) so I was curious. But yes there's no gameplay whatsoever and it's nothing compared to some crazier flash games out there. no pun intended.

[HDgamer]

This game is about 4 years old and idiots now want to make articles about it now? There are far worser games than rape lay, this game is softcore porn to what other games from japan are out there.

[NateDPG]

That's bad, really bad and I'm not saying this as a convicted sex offender but as a gamer!!!

[DNAgent]

Soccer moms strike again...Even in Japan. :(

[B-Ren]

...where it is still available with torrents.

[NMC2007]

Had this game for a while, sucks pretty bad.
I won't go into my views about it but all I will say is "this news sucks". That's it.

[xino]

Last night I watched one hentai movie called Dark Shell. After not seeing an hentai movie for years, I finally realised this. Hentai sex, or anything to do with hentai is just rape. Period!

I'm starting to think the Rape of Nanking ordeal had a curse on all Japanese people, a curse for them to rape each other.

This RapeLay..yet again they are making a big farking deal out of. Yes I'm against it being made. But this is just another 3D Hentai stimulation game. Japanese are horny people and like rape, so this game is ok. Because if it isn't ok, then it would had been banned on the first month of release.

What ever, they took down RapeLay, but there are other sex games made by Illusion.

[DiffusionE]

Holy Noodles, Batman!!!!!! There's a rape simulator??? That is sick i tell ya.....sick....<BARF!>

[danielle007]

Whoever made that game should probably get stabbed. I'm glad they aren't producing it anymore, at least that's a start.

[thebudgetgamer]

but at the same time im afraid of the slippery slope this might create. i mean this might be the foot in the door for people that hate video games.

[Redempteur]

don't worry this is not a rape simulator ...

This a rape game ...

maybe you can't grasp the différence but it exist ..

it's like saying that gta is a "murder simulator "
anyone who played gta know that it's not true ...

SAME here

Alos if you want to stab people , don't worry you don't have to
there is a nice amount of stabbing in this game too

[Tachyon_Nova]

you would ofcourse by a dumb bint of a chick. What is wrong with this?

[danielle007]

I'm all for killing people and extensive gore and there shouldn't be such strict sex stuff (like that Mass Effect nonsense) in video games, it's all good.

But I still think this rapelay nonsense should be out of production.

And no, I don't think i'm a hypocrite.

[Last_Life]

So... if you play rapelay, you are a sexual offender.

So, almost every gamer out there is a fuking murderer, yes, you are, then you call all those people who try to ban your violent games "ignorant" and "close minded" they should be more tolerant, no?

But you should not be tolerant, you americans are perfect, if something offends you, it should be slashed, if something offends anyone else, it's their fault.

[Bolts]

I cant' believe that real gamers are cheering this moronic case of censorship. Just like Last Life said, you can set completely innocent people on fire and commit mass murder in GTA 4 and be multiplat hit but a game where you rape people is a crime against moral decency? Where do you draw the damn line. If you're against one form of violence then you should be against both. Never mind the fact both games are rated mature for adults.

Every dumbass who cheered this move should be banned from buying M rated games for life and have every single M rated tittle be forcibly removed from their possession.

[Lowlife]

Well, I despise the idea of making a rape game in the first place.

BUT, I still don't think the game should be censored or removed. I'd rather let people make, and play, rape games than censoring and removing them because they offend.

And I surely don't think anyone will become a rapist because of this =)

[Tachyon_Nova]

RapeLay, if that isnt the awesomeist name ever, then what is
