So, lets just say you’re in Japan and considering picking up the local version of Saints Row: The Third when it comes out on November 17, you should be advised: that version lacks realism in a very specific aspect.
THQ told Game Informer that, in Japan, the “Penetrator” weapon — or how it’s more commonly known, the dildo bat — will lack the physics (i.e. wobbliness) and texture (veininess) found in the Western versions. This is despite its CERO Z rating — the most restricted rating Japanese video games can have, similar to our Adult Only rating… Which in Japan is easily by passed.
So, back to the hypothetical Japanese customer — if the unrealistic-ness of a virtual, weaponized dong is a dealbreaker for you, then you are a sad strange little man.
