Due to innumerable cultural, social, and religious reasons, a video game which is considered completely acceptable in one country could be rejected as unacceptable somewhere else. Such issues highlight why localization - contrary to translation- is necessary for games.
That said, one seemingly simple yet relatively deep and complicated question has always bothered me: when does localization cross the line of censorship? Should gamers accept this?
In order to illustrate my thoughts, let's see how Yakuza 3 on PS3 was adapted for the US territory. The game was heavily criticized by gamers who suspect the localizerd edited or removed significant game elements.
This gets me wondering: how much of the cut content was actually "inappropriate for American audiences" as in "cultural differences would prevent full understanding and therefore only serve to confuse the player and impede their progress", as opposed to "Americans are generally far more religious and uptight than Japanese people, so we can't show them this kind of nudity and/or violence"? I assume that someone purchasing the third installment in a game series would normally have a pretty good idea as to what kind of content they were getting into, especially with a series such as Yakuza, which is relatively well-known. The games even receive ratings similar to films, giving the consumer an even better idea of what the game in question contains.
Now if you look at it, most gamers actually are adult and will absolutely not care to find certain elements. In fact, their absence may come as a huge disappointment for them and alter their gaming experience. So should developers think a little more about what public they are targetting, or just assume anyone may buy the game by accident, and thus edit it?.
Video game localization is an important process to bring games to new people, and shouldn't be taken that lightly.
