pkk234: I'm pretty sure Horizon Zero Dawn is blocked in Japan.
Lame.

SCPM: There is a separate entry for Horizon Zero Dawn in Japan:

That's a first, I believe, having different game pages for different regions.

Maybe the japanese get a completely different version?

Alternate translation, missing languages or soundtrack, missing features or something else?

We had that problem with an aussie version of "Witcher 2" or "Withcer 3" I think...

This issue with two HZD version might be related to the business practice of releasing only Japanese localisation with the Japanese version of video games instead of a multilingual version. I cannot even guess the reasons behind this practice.

In the case of HZD see: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1151640/discussions/0/2788244087233256414/

I see, thanks.
Went through that steam page as well, not much actual info
i just hope it's not some censoring thing. Only JP language would suck for foreigners living here. C'mon Japan.
Although to be honest I probably can't run this lol.

Okay, thanks, japanese language ONLY for the japanese market because of rights issues, I see.

Luckily, this is no anime game, and japanese language is "only" another dubbing in this case. So no real problem for the "normal" user in the englisch speaking / european area.

viperfdl: Edit:
The Terminal Cuts game pages can now also be reached from Germany. So they are not region-locked like the original versions.

Original:
Terminal Cuts of BloodRayne 1 and 2 are - surprise, surprise - region-locked for Germany.
You might want to restore your "Original".

Yeah. Seems like gog tried to give Germans some time to get the games before they are locked.

Japan has entered the chat. (also blocked here)
I wonder why though.

Yeah, i'm reasonably curious at this point, especially given they took the time to translate the game to Japanese.

EDIT: While i wouldn't consider kotaku even remotely authoritative, this appears to be a good start: https://kotaku.com/dying-lights-japanese-censorship-is-almost-dead-1706899498

Different publisher? That's sometimes the reason.
