orenronen posted:But this isn't about the game failing or about its content. By all reports it seems like it's doing very well, and I'm sure they're seeing it. It's doing well in spite of Japanese Corporate culture, I wasn't trying to suggest that the game itself is failing. It's a vicious cycle of Previous Attempts To Bring Our Games West Have Failed -> This Attempt Will Probably Fail Because Previous Attempts Have Failed -> We Aren't Going To Devote Time Or Resources To Understand Western Markets, Because Previous Attempts Have Failed -> We Have A Western Branch, But We Aren't Going To Pay Attention To Them Because We Don't Understand Them And Anyway They Are Going To Fail -> The Western Market Is Upset With Us, Who Cares It's A Waste Of Time Anyway. Even when they have a critical success, like this or Neir: Automata, they don't understand why it was a success, and there's no interest in finding out because there is a lot of pressure to Do Things The Way We Have Always Done Them.

im starting to get less concerned about this "ban" because I searched for random major spoiler videos and some of them have, like, 100k+ views, lmao so im thinking atlus is full of piss and lies. episode 5? i think, is where we can put this theory to the test not counting the day 1 strikes that a few people that I know got, of course, but maybe they're letting up?

They specifically don't want anything past july 7 in-game, whuch would concern me if there weren't already full lps of the game on youtube That said, you might be able to avoid them entirely by just keeping your videos unlisted E: oh, the video's up. "Everyone hates you" is a bad starting premise for an rpg series that thrives on ramming its themes directly into your skull for hours on end Jen X fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Apr 10, 2017 |

I also feel like Coffee Dad is protesting maybe a bit too much.

"The police are my bitchezzz" is my favourite line, I can never not laugh at it. If that's Keith Silversteen voicing that guy, I can never take him seriously as a villain or bad guy ever since ZTD where he played the dumbest man on the planet. Sojiro is so relentlessly unpleasant about everything it wraps back around to being amusing to me. It does feel like he's playing it up a bit.

See, here's the thing about the prosecution system in Japan: if you think the Ace Attorney games were playing up how corrupt courts are there, boy are you in for a surprise. It's not so much "wow, stopping a rape is considered a bad thing here" as it is "there is more physical evidence that a man was injured than there was a woman even touched, so they most likely believed him." Not spoilers as I'm not far into the game, just not surprised at all that this is the predicament Harry Potter has found himself in. If anything, I felt they were "letting him off" light.

I've also heard that the onus in court is on the defender to prove themselves innocent, instead of the prosecuter to prove them guilty. But I don't know if that's just latent racism from people or actual truth.

There were some big scandals in the late 90s/early 2000s that eroded a lot of public trust in police - Japanese citizens used to have one of the highest approval ratings of their justice system in the world, but it cratered pretty hard around 2003ish. Used to be 79%, these days it's like 57-ish percent. The biggest one was a blackmailing/extortion racket that some cops were running with the help of a couple of judges, if I remember right. Since it was exposed in 2000ish, that was probably a big inspiration for Phoenix Wright considering the timeframe.

It's a little weird to see Daisuke Jigen owning a coffee shop and the Kingpin running a secondary school, I gotta say. Also, that sports teacher is channeling the chin of Bruce Campbell something fierce. God, I wish they'd gotten Bruce Campbell.

At first I thought MC's past actions were misrepresented, which is why everyone treats him like crap, but nope. That cafe owner straight up goes "you protected that woman from a rapist, you deserve to have your life ruined you piece of poo poo". So everyone in game's universe is just a huge dirtbag I guess.

Not exactly, it seemed even he wasn't entirely clear on what happened, and had more information than probably anyone else who talks about the matter. That said it seems like the problem is someone of influence accused you of a violent act and that stigma follows you.

I'm not sure if this is a spoiler, but what basically happens is that Harry Potter grabbed the guy to get him away from the woman. The guy seems to have been drunk, so he stumbled and fell over, cracking his head on the ground or some kind of barrier. Then when the cops show up, they find a teenager standing over a bleeding guy.

Plus the attacker appears to have been Someone Important in the world at large, and that'll get you hosed up good regardless of what part of the world you live in. It's not hard to believe that his arrest and trial weren't the fairest in the land.
