It seems the black void censoring some of the pantsu in past trailers for Samurai Maiden still exists after all as it was discovered that the pantsu is covered up whenever the player pauses the game, a compromise that will still leave many critics angry over developers continuing to control what content players are allowed to consume.
The discovery was made by a Twitter user who shared a screenshot depicting the game’s pantsu, and another that revealed the pantsu turning into a black void when the game is paused, no doubt to keep players from ogling them:
Judging from the button prompts on the one screenshot, it seems this is the Nintendo Switch version of the game, and the Nintendo Switch was known for usually allowing such service, which means the other versions of the game are probably censored as well.
Even when using Photo Mode, the character models will disappear if the player tries to get too close to them, preventing players, again, from staring at the girls’ pantsu:
It was noted by other Twitter users that D3Publisher, who published the game, is a subsidiary of Bandai Namco, and Bandai Namco previously announced their pursuit towards pushing political correctness in their games.
Samurai Maiden is available now for the PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch, and will come to the PC and the West on December 8th.
So D3 takes a stance against panty shots and it’s too embarrassed to let players pause and see those, but too cowardly to completely remove them since they know that their garbage lesbian simulator only has fan service going for it. To hell with this game.
The only reason to buy/”acquire” the game – removed. Yeah, hard pass. Thanks for saving my SDD a few GB, D3!
damn… i was actually looking forward to play this.
but this is not how it should be played. good thing i haven’t ordered it.
Not even worth pirating now.
it’s NOT censored on the Switch , at least on the japanese version which is out today. As always R*ft idiot is coming out with bullshit.
I know this first hand
don’t care. let that s♥♥t burn.
I’ve never heard of such bullshit feature before, you can clearly tell the whole inclusion/exclusion of pantyshots was and still is the biggest talk in their studio. Whatever they come up with in the end, it will be heavily curated and intentional… Either ways if it turns out to be decent good for them and pc mods will prolly fix anything they need if the game stays relevant more than a week post launch.
Leave it in as unused code, with no visible menu option to enable it.
But if users go into the game’s installation folder, opens up the .INI file and add PANTSU=1, the black void is removed.
“Ahhhhhh. Oh no. Those damnable internet hackers have defeated us. How shameful. And we really tried so hard to accommodate your feminist claptrap. I mean concerns.”
haha, lmao
Still remember some subhumans trying to act like Bamco isn’t woke even though they’ve been pulling s♥♥t like this and appealing to the Pronoun Police in Elden Ring, consoomers never learn I guess.
Code Vein was their last good fanservice game. Arise was the nail in the coffin
So if you want to play the s♥♥t.. wait for the mods than pirate the damn game and don’t give that company any fucking money at all.
