Last Blade 2 DC Censorship: Discussion at Agetec Forums

[LWK]

No offence to the people who got screwed from buying the game.
I just think its a better game when imported.

LWK is right,juz get the import version.i got screwed when i bought kof evolution which is the 'english' version.i noticed that for that game,there are missing moves,incomplete moves list and a messed up label with the number '99' missing and they really messed up the game.then,i decided to buy the import version and i'm not dissapointed. <IMG SRC="smilies/cool.gif" border="0">

I'm so glad to see that they produce an US version of LB2 that the censorship is not a problem for me.

If you guys want to know why this guy hates AGETEC its because they spoke out against the strikrs release by arcade.

Here is the thread.

http://www.neo-geo.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=18&t=000523

BTW, IMO Last Blade 2 censored or not did come out. If you don't like it, stop whinin and buy the import. Hell, its better all around. At least its licensed, and is not a fake ass conversion.</STRONG>

The real problem with LWK is that he was shown to be an idiot in the thread "Strikers 1945 Plus at Ravengames", by myself, RevQuixo, Nick_th_fury, and several others. He's still licking his wounds and trying to get past the embarassment. The fact is that my primary reason for joining and posting at the Agetec forums was to send the message to them that butchering games during the "localization" process (i.e. censoring the blood, ending fatalities, victory poses, etc.) is unacceptable. If that kind of crap is how they're going to "bring over" a game from the Japanese release, then they might as well not bother. Its idiotic, pure and simple.

As for the U.S. Neo console having censorship issues, its very easy and inexpensive to have a language switch installed in the Neo home cart system (Jeff Kurtz will do it for a minimal cost), and MANY Neo home cart system owners have already done just that.

Plus, notice that after the first Samurai Shodown game released to the U.S. market, SNK wisely included codes to re-enable the blood and fatalities. Agetec should have done this too, I've said all along that if the code exists to get rid of the offensive censorship, I would be satisfied with the game and not return it (or I should say them, actually; I bought three copies to support the release).

So anyway, LWK as usual can do nothing more than whine, no wonder he has over 3700 posts here . . . <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Edit: I originally pegged LWK at over 4000 posts, and was mistaken; but it sure SEEMS like that many!! <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

I love to piss you off crumpmeister.What a moron, I DO NOT have 4000+ posts, that is LS.
Second a whole load of people you did not know, you were shitting on.
You follow anything shawn does, your so full of it.
You see one side of a arguement.
This very topic is whining, you think AGETEC gives a shit about what a troll like you thinks?
First its bag on arcade, then praise arcade.

I made that post to piss you off, anyone with half a brain would have ignored it and looked passed such a simple ploy.
What a tard. I am happy. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

You bag on rom'ers and pirates, when the arcade release is 100% unofficial. Probably breaking infringement, and a hired goon like yourself goes to a professional company and whines calling there fan base idiots.
They may not know as much since they are not all neo fans.
!ARCADE! shawn himself called a ngf 2 and bagged on them, of course your defending them. (*before the deal was cut, then everyone changes there tune)
Your one of the people who preordered the game.
HAHAHA Where is your 400 fake strikers. LMAO.

Whats the next release date?, arcade is trying to sue Neolord, how stupid.

I have seen some of the most unprofessional following from this sub company I need to laugh, you suppose to ignore all the crap they pulled before and pretend there someone new?, can't happen. I know you havent forgot about me shitmeister .

I loved that thread "turning a blind eye" I revived it, and it dissapeared.
Dickmeister, walk into traffic.

Let's keep it straight.

We need fans to support the right, not the BullShit.
This isn't about egos.

!arcade has nothing to do with this more important issue that we've been fighting against for years.

If agetec has problem or not w/!arcade,
thats not whats important here, so drop that crap.


What's wrong is censorship. That's BS, & we don't need it.

Now some people say, well SNK did it, so whats the problem.

We'll if you have to ask, your adding to the problem don't ya see?

SNK was wrong, & now agetec is wrong.

When Samurai Shodown released censored on home cart 8 years ago, I called them up.
Told em that was Bullshit.

Did the same everytime SNK released a censored game that I bought.

Now fans today are telling agetec, that's it's as wrong today as it was then.

Bravo, it's our opinion.
You pay for that product, you've got a right to bitch.
When you bought it, you paid your dues.

You'll never see me complain on Agetec's BBs over this subject.
I didn't buy the game, so I have no right.
I merely join the discussion here, as I'm here, and this BBS is for all Neo & SNK fans.

Agetec's BBS is there for it's customers.
Happy or angry.
My 2 cents.

The whole issue of blood in games makes me laugh. Would anyone really become upset, violent, or warped at the sight of red bitmaps? Are humans really so mentally fragile that we can't cope with the color red?
However if you think turning red blood to white is bad, you should see what happens to games like Turok in Germany. Blood in games is banded there and killing human looking characters is heavyly frowned upon, so in Turok the bad guy soldiers were turned into robots!
Why don't they just but a Blood On/Off option in the game and let the buyers decide!

 

[FUUMA]

I think it's up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right ,B, A, Start!! Damn Contra code never dies out!!

 

[Robert]

very funny fuuma! perhaps konami will use it for the next games produced.

Reminds me of the SS1 bs we had to go thru can anybody remember that! <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0"> JAYDIAMOND656@AOL.COM
