THQ Japan enforces rigid dildo restrictions to smooth over controversy
If you’re in Japan and considering picking up the local version of Saints Row: The Third when it comes out on November 17, be advised: that version lacks realism in a very specific aspect.
THQ told Game Informer that, in Japan, the “Penetrator” weapon — in common parlance, the dildo bat — will lack the physics (i.e. wobbliness) and texture (veininess) found in the Western versions. This is despite its CERO Z rating — the most restricted rating Japanese video games can have.
So, back to the hypothetical Japanese customer — if the insufficient verisimilitude of a virtual, weaponized dong is a dealbreaker for you, you must reconsider your life.THQ Japan enforces rigid dildo restrictions to smooth over controversy originally appeared on Joystiq on Fri, 11 Nov 2011 10:43:00 EST.
