    If the media would have never brought it up it would have already been long forgotten. By the time they talked about it the first time, the game was already a year or two old and people had moved on to pirating the next hgame of the season.

    These articles only make more people play it.

    edit: i probably already said this exact same thing in this very thread in fact.

    Benzaie from That Guy With The Glasses just started a new review segment called ... ugh, GameFAP, which deals with Japanese erotic games, and he said he would post a review of the game next week...

    Seems like this game is more well-known in America than Japan!

    I'd never heard of such a game until reading this thread. I wouldn't say no if someone offered me the chance to play it...

    Since when is rape hentai, even in game form, newsworthy in Japan?

    It's not like this is some new phenomenon.

    The media does offer perverse incentives to people looking to make a buck through infamy. I'm sure RapeLay wasn't actively looking to cause a stir and just happened to be "that game" people noticed at random but this kind of thing happens every so often. Not too long ago there was some media reaction to a game depicting the Kennedy assassination. I'm sure that negative media attention helped the product. That trend might serve to inspire people to actively pursue media attention.

    I'm sure if we put our heads together to come up with a game that was as offensive as it could be by being grotesquely racist and allowing the player to engage in sadistic violence and sexual deviance, we'd get on CNN too. I personally wouldn't want my name associated with a product like that but for people who don't mind then the infamy angle can be a profitable one, more than obscurity at least.

    It's as much a part of Japanese culture as walking into a school and shooting as many people as possible is part of American culture, if that's what you're getting at.

    i have a friend in japan that worked for a company and she would tell me that she would have to go out with older co workers for drinks and even with her boss. she didn't like it at all. so i said just don't go if you don't want to. she said i have to. it's the japanese way. I must.

    i think japan is a nice country but western individualism is so foreign to the japanese. japan is a great country. but once you live there you realize how awsome and culturaly free the west is. (us. eu, canada, aust, israel) i think the easiest japanese to form a solid honest friendship with are the ones hat have lived/studied in the west.
    Women are oppressed in Japan? WHAT? If you knew anything, you'd know it's the men who are oppressed!

    As for your friend in the company, the same goes for men too, they have to drink with the boss as well. If they sell their soul and work for a corporate company that is.

    Does it not occur to you that different countries have different cultures? Just because things are done differently in another country to your own, doesn't make the other country worse.

    I like how you made the uneducated reference to women being oppressed in the "Islamic world" too and then claimed that Israel is in the West. Genius.

    There are games like Ethnic Cleansing and stuff, maybe even Postal 2 in the hands of a less kind player, that get into stuff like that. Have those ever been on CNN (several years after it was relevant)?

    Rape games in Japan have been around for decades. It's a friggin' GENRE. They publish games and an inordinate amount of manga dedicated to the subject.

    What's so damn special about this particular game?

    Not trying to make any broad sweeping generalizations about Japan, but I have heard that they're not too hung up over what may "turn someone on". If you've got something that turns you on, then, that's your business. Getting all judgmental about what another person seems to react erotically to doesn't seem like a useful way of spending one's time. If enough people are turned on by it, then there's a market for it and for some of those markets people make games like this.

    This doesn't make the people playing such a game "rapists" anymore than people playing a first person shooter are "murderers". It's a game, not a clear window into the soul of a nation's quirks.

    I guess I'm one of the few people who play hgames for the hilarity.

    Not that I found any in RapeLay (which I have not played).

    Ethnic Cleansing was definitely in the news. Whether or not it was several years later is ultimately moot. Just the mere mention of it by the media in an attempt to criticize it brings some measure of success if only because had it not been featured on the news nobody would know about it. I would be asking you what Ethnic Cleansing was had I not remembered hearing about it in the media.

    You're right that treading this water again after RapeLay has had it's day already seems suspect. It's possible that the journalists just plain forgot. They caught wind of it from somewhere and didn't realize it was old news.

    Nothing. Just that it was the one game people picked to raise a stink about. I'm not particularly pleased with the genre as a whole and I think a lot of people would agree. But it's kind of like what happens when 40 cars are driving 80mph. A cop is going to pick one of the pack to pull over. In the case of the media, though, the irony is that the one that gets "pulled over" turns out to be the lucky one that becomes famous/infamous when it hasn't done anything especially noteworthy.

    Might as well say "there's a market for everything."

    With as much press as this game gets(here anyway) I'm surprised there isn't a Rapelay 2. There might be but I won't hear about it until someone makes another thread for it.

    If you're making a point with that, then I don't understand it. I expressed that there is only a market if there are people interested in something, and you're saying that the statement "there's a market for everything" is an equivalent statement?

    I don't know if you're disagreeing with me or if you think what I said is so obvious that I needn't have said it. I'm not saying there's a market for everything. I'm saying that there has to be enough interested parties for there to be a market to cover the expense of producing what that market demands.

    Honestly, I find the two hentai games that Enix published when first starting out to be far more offensive than RapeLay (don't worry, there's only a text description in these links):

    It was a joke. I was saying that there would be a market for anything because somebody somewhere is going to be turned on by it.
