The eagerly awaited Red Dead Redemption 2 recently released for fans all across the
world, however, it turns out that not all regions around the world received the same
version of the game.
As is made clear by the ESRB's very long rating summary, for which it earned an ESRB M rating,
Rockstar's follow-up to the 2010 western gun slinging adventure is by no means a tame experience.
Due to its content, the Japanese versions of the game have had to have several changes
made and this is despite it receiving the max Z rating from Japan's CERO rating system,
meaning 18 years and over.
The Japanese rating system has rules in place which prohibit certain types of graphic content,
even if games are assigned with the max rating.
Violent content is one of these areas that can run into issues over in Japan and this
can be seen with the Japanese version of Red Dead Redemption 2.
Whilst dismemberment is possible in the Japanese version, the body parts simply explode and
vanish.
In the English versions, limbs will detach from the body and stay onscreen.
Textures also differ between versions, with the Japanese versions no longer showing bones,
internal organs and other gory details.
These restrictions on violence also interfere with some other elements of the game, such
as the Stranger Mission "American Dreams".
This mission sees you going on a long quest to track down a serial killer, and is a bit
like a puzzle as you find random disfigured corpses within the game's world and then cryptic
messages around the victims.
As well as the messages, you will be able to find the corpses' heads located nearby
and within each of their mouths is a piece of a map, which you need to try and locate
the killer.
In the Japanese versions though, the corpses are no longer missing body parts and all of
the other gory details, such as internal organs, are no longer shown.
Despite this however, the corpse's heads are still located in the same places - with map
in mouth.
This is despite the corpses' not missing their heads when you find them.
It isn't just violence though that runs into issues over in Japan.
Whilst simply suggestive content is ok to be shown in Japan, things like explicit nudity
is not allowed to be shown in games rated by the Japanese rating system.
This means that wherever you can see things like explicit nudity in the game, the Japanese
version will have had to make changes.
For instance, in the Japanese version of the brothel scene where you get drunk with Larry,
the women you walk in are fully dressed - whilst in the English versions they are wearing no
clothes at all.
There are 2 of these NPCs that you can walk in on with both being changed to fully dressed
over in Japan.
However, sometimes suggestive content will be changed in Japan even when no explicit
content is shown.
This means that a scene in the game where a guy has his trousers pulled down and is
threatened with castration unless he tells them what they want had to have edits as well.
In the Japanese version, the scene is kept the same, but when the character performs
the action of pulling his trousers down, his trousers simply stay in place.
This makes the animation, as well as the characters' reactions somewhat confusing in the Japanese
version and also means you will no longer be able to see any of his bare skin.
