So glad this made it, because this looked like major import worthy territory.

    It's not a Black Bar, honestly. It's just a game title.
    Obvious censor much?

    Yeah, especially based on the Japanese cover.

    On the one hand, YAAAY, more Guardian Heroes-style goodness!!

    On the other, how in blazes could a woman design the main character so blatantly fanservicey with a straight face? Seems rather odd to me.

    I am curious how this got a T rating even when it says "partial nudity". Strange.

    I looks like it is uncensored, so that is good. I am liking the smooth animation.

    Partial nudity is fine for a T rated game.

    they get away with nudity in T rated castlevanias so I guess it's a go

    looks like instead of a belt bra we have a lock bra. I'm sure there is someone with a large amount of belts around

  • KrathoonKrathoon Registered User regular
    There are some nice statues of the main character as well. $160 or more though.

    Can't "Partial Nudity" mean really skimp outfits? G-strings, pasties, shit like that? I can't list the amount of "almost-titties" I've seen in T-rated games, and that's not counting all the "almost-cocks" and "almost-twats" I've seen in the same.

    As far as I know, nudity is still defined solely by exposed genitalia of either gender, and in most cases, female nipples. Areola is a total no-man's-land though, nobody knows where to put it.

    Nevertheless, I'm totally getting this game, but I'm really not awaiting the experience I'll have in the checkout line, though I feel for those guys my age who have to ask for it by name.
    Being a gamer never gets better, does it?

    According to the ESRB, Partial Nudity = Brief and/or mild depictions of nudity. So basically yes.

    Edit: Whereas Nudity = Graphic or prolonged depictions of nudity.

    Partial Nudity gets slapped on by the ESRB for anything from a two piece swimsuit on downwards. Nudity is for actual nudity, but you can get it for a bare ass and nothing else.

    So they're fairly prudish all in all. Judging by the titular character though I think Partial Nudity tag is well fitting.

    I think we're pretty accustomed by now to the usual Chainmail Bikini stuff, but I gotta admit I've never seen Platemail Pasties before.

    Alright and in this next scene all the animals have AIDS.

    I got a little excited when I saw your ship.

    He he he, you said tit-ular.

    But you're so right, the ESRB seems to me to be much more judgey and prudish than even the MPAA, and that's a difficult thing to pull off. I've never found anything wrong with the human body's form, however, and couldn't give a littler amount of shit over ratings that now no longer affect (nor effect) me. It's really laughable to me, a muscle bound set of pecs is A-OK, but even the saddest looking pair of breasts gets one slapped with regulatory bullshit.

    edit: Not that there are any sad titties here.

    Honestly, the thing about her character design that stands out second-most to me are the gauntlets. One wonders just why, if she's willing to go out swordfighting dressed like that, she needs the gloves.

    Hopefully, they will make a reversible cover with this.


    Also, here is a neat one.

    I hate her expression. What are you so scared of? You have a giant sword.

    I guess I'd be scared of a wicked sunburn in that getup.

    Agatsuma Entertainment has confirmed Code of Princess will be released in Europe, according to a statement given to Wiitalia. The firm said it was taking a while to “close the deal,” but for everyone to remain patient while details are ironed out. Atlus announced during E3 the game will release on 3DS in the US this fall. Thanks, Cubed3.

    I can understand your distaste for the design of the main character but I don't think there's anything wrong with the majority of the supporting characters.

    Word of advice, stay the hell away from Dragon's Crown. If this game makes you vomit, Dragon's Crown will give you a brain aneurysm.

    It reminds me A LOT of Dragon's Crown. I really don't understand this sudden influx of Japanese artists who get turned on by blatantly mutated women.

    Them's perfect birthin' hips! She's both an asskicker AND prime motherin' material! :P Yeah, the designs are a bit out there, but they are memorable. Hope this gets well received and Atlus decides to keep it readily available.

    They're only perfect birthing hips if you're using the foetus as a mortar round.

    So, I'm buying this because Guardian Heroes is pretty close to my favorite game of all time, and this looks so similar that I can't pass it up. Has there been a video released that didn't have significant framerate issues? I mean, even if the framerate dips in some spots it should still be just as playable as Guardian Heroes was (because man did it chug sometimes), but some of the videos looked... not smooth.

    Edit: and mine is in the mail, but Amazon wasn't offering release date delivery this time around! :(

    Apparently the NA version of the game has a greatly improved framerate and some balance issues sorted out.
