Spoiler

I actually barely noticed the change until they told it.

First Tactics Ogre and now this? You guys are going to end up like Saudi Arabia where they photoshop clothing onto scantily dressed women on album covers.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Meh, I wouldn't really defend DoA in the "not treating women like sex objects" department.

Asian women with huge breasts just looks fucking weird.

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

the "CVG co.uk" logo also helps by covering her cleavage.

 

[InfiniteJacuzzi]

What is this? Nirvana got away with child porn on their cover.

 

[godfist88]

what was the point of that? so showing a little bit of hip is bad? it's a game about ninja chicks, and thats the reason people buy it. I swear who ever censors these box art covers must be a nun or something.

 

[PlasmaFrog]

They're always trying to protect youth from the inevitable. Other than that, the Dead or Alive series has always sold its fanbase barely dressed women who are often seen sporting bikinis that somehow hold melons in place with pieces of string. Must be magical fabric that refuses to abide by the laws of physics.

 

[Carlston]

More proof these people can not justify their jobs nor do they have a logical scoring ability to go by.

 

[Wakefield]

So....she has marginally less panties...what was the point of that again?

 

[shadyh8er]

Oh thank God! At least some people in the video game business have the dignity to prevent our children from the evil that is.....LEG!

 

[Drakmeire]

OH NO! legs! we must cover them up immediately!
this kinda reminds me of this picture.

seems pointless to cover up an upper thigh, all the DOA extreme games show girls in bikinis on the cover which shows WAY more skin... what's so bad about an upskirt?

I was looking at the picture and went, "So, moving the CVG logo to cover her cleavage is the censoring act? That can't be right."

It was like playing one of those 'Spot the difference' picture games. I won before I scrolled down and someone said the answer. So, is this going to be a fighting game, or Kasumi's version of Ninja Gaiden? Really hoping for the latter. That would be awesome, and would explain so much about Sigma 2.

 

[Tony2077]

oh no skin cover it up now. grow up already your killing us

 

[Trolldor]

..I don't even... what's the point?

 

[zombiejoe]

...so?

It's a freaking pantie shot, who cares if they changed it?

 

[Trolldor]

It's not even a panty shot. It's an upper thigh shot.

 

[LaMer]

I laughed incredibly hard at that picture...but yes, the ESRB rated the game T for TEEN. One more quare inch of thigh will not have any effect on the buyer.

So they're covering up the upper part of her inner thigh. Ok, I guess that would make sense to the extremely conservative demographic. But that thigh is in the process of delivering a roundhouse kick. It's a game dedicated to violence, and yet any glimse of the human body is abhorrent?

I can see it clearly, though I think its cause i was looking for it. though I dont think half the people that buy this will ever know until they internet search it later.
