The North American trailer for Compile Heart’s breeding RPG Record of Agarest War knows its audience, and with blurred nudity and a borderline money shot, grabs them by the… well it isn’t the throat.
There were two ways to market this game in the states. Either Aksys could play up the fighting system and gloss over the more adult bits, or they could release a trailer that basically says that the game itself doesn’t matter as much as the scenery within. That’s not the sort of message that makes me want to rush out and spend my money.
Very nice use of ’70s porno guitar though.

Banned in OZ, did you say? Well, no big surprise there. We all know how Atkinson believes that games have a greater impact. Imagine his cadre of pensioner voters being turned into anime crazed sex fiends.
Maybe it’s better this game was banned, after all.
LOL
Thursday, December 31, 2009 at 12:59 PMDid the original japanese version have the mosaic blurring? Although I guess suggestive blurring has a greater impact than realising there’s nothing to see..

Thursday, December 31, 2009 at 2:20 PMAh that was entertaining. It seems like a parody clip you’d find somewhere, like someone knocked it up in half an hour for some laffs. The guitar was brilliant :D

Goddamn hilarious though.
