They expected an 18+ rating, so this is a bit surprising.
Especially if Australia got it.
Stupid person: I see fascism is still alive in Germany
Anyway, I am looking forward to the Giant Bomb Quick Look of this game

I'm surprised it made Australia, to be honest.
I'll say this much, I don't jive with a lot going on in those games (gal gun 1 and 2), but Gal Gun is DEMONSTRATIVELY the best playing titty game on the market. It is "most video game" of all the ultra fanservice titles out there and, if you're going to spend time and effort making titty games, you should follow their example.

If the USK refused to give it a rating, that doesn't mean it's banned. It could still be sold in stores (18+, no advertising), but Sony won't allow it, apparently. You're still free to import it, and some small brick and mortar stores might sell imported copies. Only a judge can outright ban a game if the contents are illegal, and the USK seems to think they might be, so they won't rate it. But they can't ban anything.
Cue the angry alt-right Twitter accounts with anime avatars.
To be honest, I'm surprised it was refused classification in Germany when Australia just refused to rate Omega Labyrinth Z and it was given a rating in Australia.

Stupid
If there aren't enough people to do support the game it won't sell and the market speaks for itself
Atleast America will get it, so I'm covered

Did the same, and yeah,after a thirty second trailer, I'm going to at minimum give the side eye to anyone who goes to bat for what appears to be a game about stripping and/or seducing school aged girls (or at least, that being how they choose to advertise it, which is kinda telling, even if it's not actually what the game is like, but I'd bet it is).
So generalizations of people based off of avatars still happen around here huh?
Nah, I'm not saying you're associated with them either, I just found it funny that you have an anime avatar while making a sarcastic joke about it.
Fun fact: Apparently, Gal Gun 1 got an 16+ rating, which is only the second highest rating there is.
That's technically wrong. As long as it isn't put on "Liste B", it can be sold in Germany. But in this case, it wasn't even put on any list (yet), it just got its age rating refused. But I guess Sony won't allow any games without an age rating on its system.
Yes, as of now, it isn't banned (yet), it's just not rated.
1st off... LOL at the "highly anticipated" part. Doubt that many peopel actually know about the existence of this game. I certainly never heard of it before and I actually know what highly anticipated games are here in Germany.
2nd off... It's not the decision by the USK. The USK is presenting these games to the BPjM (Bundesprüftstelle für Jugendgefährdende Medien), which is about the only institution that is allowed to hand out a veto.
Will probably end up on the Index List, which isn't exactly a ban.
A cupid who is bad at her job shoots you with an arrow that makes all women aggressively fall in love with, but says you have 1 day to fall in love with your one true love...while the entire female population is attacking you, so you have to fight off all these random women with a gun that essentially drives them to orgasm upon being shot.
It is a light gun shooter that is above average in quality. It's actually pretty fun and makes me wish it was about 40% less pervy. The special shots you can use which drag a girl into a photobooth where you essentially rub them in order to drive them to SPECIAL ORGASM is just a bridge too far for me.
the characters may look 12 but their bio's will say they're 24 so it makes it totally ok lol /s
I mean the comedy of someone with an anime avatar using the concept of anime avatars against people is pretty funny.
I mean...if we reallly get into the ages...BECAUSE YOU KNOW THEY'RE ALL LISTED IN THE GAME...I'd bet the average age of the girls is 15, and that's only because you can also "seduce" teachers.
the "anime sucks and all anime needs to go" meme is a bit tired tbh.
I suppose.
I agree that it's a stupid, reductionist argument to call banning a gross piece of entertainment "facisim" - but it's equally problematic for a government to ban entertainment and I find any defenses of this extremely suspect.
It's one thing if the publisher self-censored itself by not releasing the game or making changes to make the product less gross, but this is another thing entirely.
Sort of sounds like the infamous Doki Doki Majo Shinpan series on Nintendo DS.
You took that joke a lot further than you had to there.
I like anime, but I can't ignore the not-insignificant creep segment among anime fans.
Makes me wonder what's so much more extreme in this one. Though sometimes does the USK have weird redlines, like that receiving points for killing enemies is unacceptable, which is why RE4 had to cut the mercenaries mode, but years later they suddenly didn't have an issue with it and every re-release featured mercenaries.
Even australia gets the game.
Screw the USK in general. These giant ugly labels on retail copies are so hideous.

Would Switch's region-free feature help if the game is not available locally, but it's available in other regions?
So Gal Gun 2 will be sold in Australia but the breast expansion dungeon crawler will not. I guess the content threshold line has been found.
This will be almost as amazing as the game itself
Praying they do a quick look
