GODDAMMIT!!! (O_o) So this is the scene that was removed from the English version... I just suddenly remembered Xenosaga and its censored scenes that I'd never seen til now... Damn! Its so disturbing... I almost don't want to look at it
"Mothers Against druken Drivers" tryed to boicot GTA4 for that, saying that it allows users to drink and drive. I remember Rockstar answered em saying "if you do that in GTA you drive terribly and most likely end crashing... with the police after you, dont you see we think the same way?". Aside from that, thats a interesting information AitoHidenori, thanks for sharing it, had no idea :)
@bluefoxicy The scene is indeed in the US version, however it has been slightly modified - and in a very silly way. For instance, at 1:30, instead of breaking the arm of the dead realian you just see albedo letting the arm go. Yet you still hear the crunch sound of the bones breaking. He aswell has no knife and just swings his empty hands around. The same goes for when he cuts his own arm and head, no knife and no "blood". Absolutely ridiculous.
They SO needed to leave that scene in. Hehhh. Whoever decided to censor Xenosaga needs to be kicked with a spiked boot, and thrown into a burning pit with a pissed off Telos.
In the English version, it looks like he is snapping that dead girl's neck and everyone seems to like him ripping his head and arm off more. They made the English version more gruesome than the original.
Well the game rating went from M to T after the censorship lol. The dark spots were to spare the onlooker any more trauma that they could have. This scene is not that much censored though, it's the next Momo Albedo one that was really censored.
@bluefoxicy Actually, all three games have tons of censored spots, in the same silly way as this one (so, cutting an arm is a big no no for our innocent, pure, angelic kids, but RIPPING it is ok? Interesting concept...). The censorship in the sequels is actually even wider and more evident (blood? blood? Where have you gone, blood?). Luckily enough, you can find undubbed AND uncensored versions of episode II and III.
I saw this scene in the American english version. It was pretty gruesome. What do you mean this isn't available in the American version? He tears his own head off and everything; it's the only scene I remember from the first game, when he stands on his head and crushes it.
It's not really anymore censored... This one does have a black spot but in the english version you can't really see much without the black spot anyways... this one you can see blood shooting out from his neck when he took the knife to it. In the english version you just see his head being moved around rapidly (not even in an unrealistc way)
You're wrong, sir. There is blood when he smashes his head and rips his arm off. Not as intense as the Japanese version, granted, but it's just more psychotic to rip your arms off with your own hands.
In USA you can buy a weapon with 18 years old and go to war... but you can't celebrate vistory with a drink till 21... AND the ficticious violence is censored. Pityful, but dont think i'm saying that cause i'm european, as you know Germany is even worse. (Glad i'm from Spain and no game was censored here so far)
And just when I thought Albedo couldn't be any creepier. He is such a child molestor! I haven't had nightmares in years, but if I start up again it's gonna be because of HIM.
Don't accuse someone for being a "molester" when they aren't unless you mean the outdated meaning -being annoying- other than that your opinion is false.
sorry but english albedo is just creepier and therefore better...this guys voice is too deep it sounds like a secondary voice was used for the laugh seperately
