Hyperdevotion Noire, Hyperdimension Neptunia U and Monster Monpiece


Steam only for now, and since even re;birth 2 isn't on here after a month i guess it'll stay that way for a while.
Glad to hear it.

We still need to get Fairy Fencer F and Mugen Souls here, on GOG! :)

Sarisio: Mugen Souls
I wonder if gog could do anything about the censorship, they really mutilated that game

That censorship is result of law system. Neither GOG nor Ghostlight or anyone else from publishers can do anything about it. Some games can go under radar (less famous ones), some can't.

I dunno, I wonder about that. from the way ghostlight phrased it there wouldn't have been any need to censor if they accepted an AO rating. I guess that would reduce the potential customer base but I can't imagine too many people bought the game the way it's been released anyways.

Increased ratings usually lead to a lot of troubles in distribution, as it adds additional conditions, which must be met or else. All those laws are just a big swamp, but I always choose censored game over not having game at all.

I think it's mainly Steam forbidden all adult contend and Ghostlight liking to censor itself. I don't think it would be forbidden for them to sell it uncensored. I at least will never buy a game as horribly censored as that one.
But I think sales were some reason for the censorship. If they need a 16 or 18 rating they have less customers to sell it to.

Problem with this is that you need to be able to prove that buyer is of eligible age, which is very troublesome for digital distributors. It is extremely troublesome, it is one big swamp, which also involves compromises of personal information and such, so it is easier just to censor game or not bother with distributing it at all.

If to ask me, the whole ratings system is nonsense. Pre-18 people nowadays have very easy access to pr0n and violence stuff. Restrictions (and censorship) bring nothing but headache for legit distributors/users/players.

Law restrictions for minors aren't so much nonsense than simply innefective. 18+ Retail games/videos may be hard to get, but some download/stream where you just get asked how old you are? Useless and just there to please the law.
And Steam already has a lot of 18+games, mainly due to violence, so it's not like there is a problem with trying to sell adult content digital. It's rather easy and simple for them.

It is good to hear. Sadly I must say I stick with the original series. I mean the Re;Birth games for PC since I have no consoles to play on. I just hope after the first Re;Birth game the other two will be available here (of course with the DLCs).
Oddly enough IF just had an interview about the topic of censorship:

It is sad to read this. Especially if to consider that there isn't really much fanservice in IF games.

Sometimes I can't believe I live in 2015, it feels like I live 100 years in the past...
I like their stance on censorship. None at all or forget it.
But yeah it really is sad how much SJW and others demand censorhip and butchering games. It's something that should never have started. It hurts gaming a lot. Video games are art and should be possible viewed as original as possible.
Till this game stay as happy as now, I don't care about censorship. For me it is a game with overhelming happiness, and I play because it is that lighthearted. There are just too much depressive RPG was released.
