Why can't other company do the same fucking thing when it comes to censoring video games?
Like, for example, Nintendo keeps censoring tits and stuff in there games. How about instead of fucking removing the original design you give the player a choice to see it or remove it entirely via a patch or some shit.
>Games boots up >Some things in this game are offensive blah blah blah >Would you like to remove it? >Yes/No?
Done. Fucking done! Everyone wins! We who want the original design get to enjoy the original design and every who complains about it gets it removed from their game via patch during the first boot up, and if they feel they are mature enough to see it they can turn the mature content back on in the setting menu.
HOLYSHIT WHY HAVE NO ONE EVERY THOUGHT OF THIS?!?!?!?! WHY MUST WE ALL SUFFER BECAUSE ONE FAGGOT ISN'T MATURE ENOUGH TO SEE SOME ASS AND TITS OR BLOOD ON HIS TV. WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!
Jonathan Taylor
>someone records footage of uncensored version >polygon/kotaku and friends label the game as "problematic" >anyone who says "b-but there is an option to remove offensive stuff" is ignored >lose sales
Evan Garcia
Yeah, Call of Duty never did recover from those scathing Kotaku reviews.
Ian Carter
These things wouldn't happen. They didn't happen for CoD at all. In fact, the trigger warning in front of the game most likely generated sales.
Xavier Johnson
Almost 10 years ago. Nowadays suggesting they mute jerks in chat sends them into a bloodfrenzy because they "shouldn't have to"
Adrian Cook
This game was fucking gay, that level sucked. They would have also warned you of the terrible gameplay when asking if you wanted to skip it
Evan Nguyen
i'm actually really surprised they made this part in basically a children's game series
activision would never allow it today
Brayden Richardson
Only dumb faggots listen to game journos, even normies don't pay attention to them. I doubt their pissing and moaning would affect anything.
Adrian Gomez
But if they point off that this was intended to make both parties happy they, being Kotakufags and their friends, don't have an argument. And when other game companies jump on and it becomes a norm this whole censorship debate will cease to exist.
It's the same as adding nude textures in an online game through mods. You can see them on your side but they can't. see: Street FIghter VI and V. Though I'm not saying we should add nudes into games just because there's a censorship option.
What's even funny is that honestly this censorship is all pointless. People only complain in attempt to get a reaction out of the developers/company. If such a thing became an option everyone would just play on the uncensored version rather than playing the censored version because their goal was never to stop violence or sexism or whatever is trending at the time.
Elijah Johnson
I can't even begin to care about censoring anymore, half of it is just 'I HAVE A RIGHT TO TITS IN MY VIDYA' and it's disgraceful. By that same token, rape as a weapon of terror is explored in Pillars of Eternity and it didn't get a sniff from the gaming press, the issue is t about content it's about man children,
Chase Turner
GTAV was the biggest commercial flop thanks to that mandatory torture sequence.
William Phillips
It's just autism.
Anthony Jenkins
Could you imagine if this game released now? Instead of FOX hating on it, all the lefties would.
Grayson King
The lefties wouldn't give a shit about this scene, but they would be fucking furious about the favela sequence because you shoot brown people
Chase Anderson
what about MW3 where you're in africa slaughtering innocent people of color who didn't do nothing
Owen Powell
Or just game on PC and enjoy every depraved fetish mod you could ever dream of
Parker Morris
because that is more work. time frames are already very tight and costs are high.
it is an adult problem beyond "i want to see titties in video games!"
Jaxson Rivera
MW3 was released before SJWs were a real thing. i only became aware of the concept of ableism for example because at the time I frequented Sup Forums and there was some shit to do with MLP that got the whole board up in arms for a few days. it was weird since not long after that it became more common that people would bitch about sexism in comics and cartoons. at first people brushed it off as ironic shitposting but eventually people figured out it wasn't. then there was a pushback but redwood was banning people left and right. confusing times.
Elijah Lee
>before SJWs were a real thing what you mean to say is "before SJWs became a meme" they always existed. you just never cared til you decided to join your faux crusade against the popular people.
Justin Fisher
>I haven't played any of the call of duties after mw2
Jeremiah Diaz
Nobody wins because a state regulation protecting minorities requires a list of things contained within the game. If there is gore, sexual assault, violence, it ups the age rating because the content is available for you as a player.
You have to change the law to address this.
Camden Torres
I'm curious; how much does it cost to censor a game object vs making it a removable option in-game like Modern Warfare 2 did but more fleshed out?
Luke Cox
What?
Players complained or even shilled GTAV for the torture sequence or what?
David Reyes
If a game is aiming for M for Mature (like Dead or Alive Xtreme) why are their people who still want it to be censored even though it's for adults?
Jordan Russell
>WAAAAAAAH I CAN'T SEE UP THE SKIRT OF GENERIC LITTLE ANIME GIRLS IN MY WEEBSHIT INDIETRASH REEEEE >IF WE WHINE ABOUT IT ENOUGH ON Sup Forums WE CAN SEE OUR PANTIES AGAIN!! COME ON MY Sup Forums BROS!
Kill yourself.
Wyatt Powell
I'm pretty sure that user is joking
Liam Brown
>60 million sales >commercial flop Shut up.
Cooper Young
Sarcasm dude
Wyatt Baker
ok, post one thing resembling this scene from a later cod.
Jeremiah Brown
Popular people? I think the election proves different.
Zachary Morales
Because society likes to pretend it's prude and women are innocent
Brayden Wright
tens of thousands. They need to code the non censored version then code and model the censored version. they would then need to code the toggle for each part of the game. it would takes weeks of work.
Colton Martinez
>be customer for said weebshit >be annoyed you can't get what your bought it for without workarounds Dunno man, it's degenerate but there's a glimmer of a point there
Juan Lee
Censorship is irrelevant and retarded.
We've got age ratings to keep videogames away from kids and every console nowadays has PARENTAL CONTROLS.
But I guess being a responsible parent is too hard so people cry for the government to do it for them.
Adrian Lopez
>3 million more votes he won due to the system being set up poorly. if it was by popular vote he would have lost in a land slide.
Ryan Perry
GTA5 was rated PEGI18 and it sold millions.
Elijah Sanders
That level had no fucking purpose either, why can't I just shoot the bad guy instead of going on a killing spree for retarded reasons?
Gabriel Campbell
>!?!?!?! Is this the power of Reddit?
Anthony Phillips
Alright dudes, I wasn't sure because in this I am offended age anything is possible.
Bentley Collins
to be fair her vagina is showing and that doesn't need to be in a kids game.
Joseph Campbell
You shouldn't enjoy stuff the society understand as problematic. Period.
Brandon Diaz
it IS too hard for the parents that care ie: older generations. Nu Parents dont give a fuck either way what's in a game as long as it isnt outright porn
Older ones have difficulty with anything more complex than a TV remote
Justin Garcia
its not her vagina you faggot, every real slim woman has that but lets remove it gecause reasons, how retarded can one be to defend this?
Luis Walker
Holy shit, how can someone be so much of a fucking faggot
Christopher Sullivan
It's a JRPG. Kids play GTA, Halo and COD.
Anyway censorship always trigger me. It's a painful reminder that most of the world is not as liberal and degenerate as my country. Perhaps one day.
Ian Allen
The player character in Black Ops 3 gets his arms ripped off and his legs broken by a killer robot. In the first campaign mission.
Blake Hill
I got to the lucio part and slapped my forehead so hard I had to stop reading.
Jack Torres
Yeah video game journalism is in a really sad state right now but also creating safe zones and ocular trespassing bullshit are not helping it either
Evan Hughes
how new to the internet are you?
Matthew Jenkins
>Being set up poorly >Working exactly as intended
Elijah Lewis
is*
Jace Reyes
Precisely that system is in place so that the cities don't have power over rural areas. They are different enviroments, different ways of living, so they gave more power to the rural areas since a shitload more people live in cities.
David Sanchez
No, he won because he knew how the system worked, and appealed to people based on that information. Maybe Hillary should have spent some of the millions she paid to get the Avengers cast to suck her dried up pussy in a campaign for rural America instead.
John Rivera
screw gaming journalism, why it cant be like the old times of nintendo power?
Kevin Kelly
Censorship is not about saving yourself from seeing things you find distasteful.
The point is to deny it to everyone else.
Josiah Anderson
Tell me user
Thomas Myers
>The point is to deny it to everyone else. For what reasons?
Zachary Cruz
are you retarted the whole point of that level was to demonstrate how you played as one of the guys working with makarov to create a false flag against the americans shooting up a russian airport, hence the "NO RUSSIAN" line
Ryan Collins
Because Nintendo's Treehouse and or 8-4 are social justice warriors, there objective is to NOT let you see ass and tits at all because it's offensive to them.
Gavin Martinez
Someone really understand sarcasm.
Dominic Phillips
>Her vagina is showing You mean her pelvis? There is no vagina being shown in that image. >Kids game It's rated T.
Justin Bailey
>"Hey Chad are you getting the new CoD?" >"Of course." >"Did you hear that this one has offensive content in it?" >"What?! Eww, pre-order cancelled!"
Kevin Mitchell
People thinking their morals should apply to everyone i.e. extreme right and left of political spectrums, religious groups etc.
" For the good of society " is usually the reason, which is bullshit.
Camden Turner
It's a game that is rated M. That's all the "trigger warning" that should be needed. The age rating isn't there just for shit and giggles, it's to indicate what type of content a potential buyer should expect. There's even extra tags included like heavy violence, sexual content etc.
Mafia 3 is probably the worst offender. Right when you start the game there is a trigger warning where the devs state that they're not actually racist and they had to include racist content because of the time period and so on. Pussy ass bitches.
Nathan Harris
"Childish" doesn't mean is for children. That's a game for teenagers and young adults, i really doubt any children can enjoy that gameplay and that game in general.
Chase Williams
Also the player character in Advanced Warfare gets his arm ripped off in the first campaign mission.
Aiden Diaz
If you want to make games more appealing to females why not include more male romances? Bitches love Otome
Anthony Lee
This. We need to stop babying adults over material intended for fucking adults. >won't somebody think of the children? M-rated games weren't made for children in mind. They may play them, but that's entirely on the parents.
Jordan Hughes
>How about instead of fucking removing the original design you give the player a choice to see it or remove it entirely via a patch or some shit.
hey retard when your game is getting banned because of child porn laws in certain countries, the judges won't care about some "player choice".
Oliver Diaz
>Watch Dogs 2 is M rated >Has a nudity marker clear as the day >People find a vagina >Ubisoft publicly apologises and removes it via patch >ESRB does nothing because the game was clearly marked as M with nudity
??? America?
Kayden Edwards
>GTA5 was rated PEGI18 and it sold millions.
Why are Rockstar faggots and do not put children in their gaems to kill too? Muh censorshop.
And they were even more faggy with their coffee content in San Andreas. Should have just put an option in there, those judges would have understood.
Owen Clark
Yep, America.
ESRB must feel very useful when the games get censored anyway even if they already rated and approved it.
Leo Hernandez
Do you really think that would prevent them from bitching about it? They would still yell because the devs put the uncensored version in the game in the first place.
Joseph Parker
...
Henry Walker
Technology really has come a long way. I didn't know you could make a .jpg file that gives people terminal cancer the second they open it.
Ayden Rodriguez
Not that user but if you follow the conversation claimed that the election proved that a certain view was more popular. In that context it would be fair to say that the system is set up poorly at least as far as being a measure of pure popularity.
Christian Wilson
Because you're an undercover operative working with the terrorists and you aren't allowed to blow your cover yet, not that it means much since they know you're american and kill you by the end to frame the US government.
John Morgan
...
Dominic Roberts
okay, so you don't have anything equivalent to shooting up an airport full of innocent people, resembling the mass shooting/terrorist attacks we witness in the real world rather frequently?
arms and legs ripped off by a robot? who gives a fuck. It's having the player mow down innocent masses in an airport that is the shock factor.
Samuel Rodriguez
How about this; If you want the original version you'd have to buy it directly from the company, completely dodging the middle man (Gamestop/etc). So, Best Buy, Gamestop, etc. would get the censored version and anyone who pre-orders from the main site can get the original version and this option would only be available during the first week of release. Not only would this boost the price of the original version but stores like Amazon and Bestbuy would push for a deal to have the original version exclusive to their store. Honestly it's a win/win for everyone except the people who do not buy week 1.
Cooper Carter
Retailers would bully any company who tried to cut the middle man out of any version of their game.
Henry James
This. Who the fuck goes to any game journo site nowadays? You can get the same information anywhere else online without a narrative.
Joseph Hall
>Russian MW2 localization doesn't have the airport mission at all >retard politician's kid torrents MW2 >dad catches him playing >instant shitstorm, tried to BANNU the game in Russia, publisher loses a fuckton of money on legal fees
Jonathan Ward
SJWs were very much a thing going all the way back to the mid-2000s. Does no one remember LiveJournal?
Thomas Murphy
>lose sales
Dragon's Crown sold well despite hissy fits.
Joseph Cook
They really started causing trouble in 2007. Before that, christcucks like Joe Lieberman and Jack "Off" Thompson were our chief opponents, along with soccer mom political commentators and other right/centrist moralfags.
Oh, and yeah, when SJWs finally fuck off and die, right wing will instantly try to censor games again.
Justin Cruz
>tits and stuff in there games >there games >there I was taking this post seriously enough until that point, now I can only wonder how old you are and why your school is messing with your head.
Joseph Diaz
>It's a game that is rated M. That's all the "trigger warning" that should be needed.
THIS. Why do people act like the ESRB doesn't exist?
David Bell
>Red Ninja, which was an incredibly mediocre game back when it came out would be hailed as a masterpiece now a days just because titties
Feels bad, man.
Nolan Roberts
Because we live in a world where grown adults can handle the fiction they consume and they want some parent figure to protect them from uncomfortable ideas.
Jaxson Bennett
>Why can't other company do the same fucking thing when it comes to censoring video games?
Because there's a cockroach in the Treehouse.
Leo Rodriguez
>a
Brayden Parker
>would work best for everyone who does not buy week one I've been burned too many times by buying a game, not liking it, and trying to return it for only 10 dollars store credit. I stopped buying week one for that exact reason. this system would be terrible and should not be implemented.
It could work if game companies let certain individuals do a pre-release review and the product and then I could decide If I wanna spend 60 on it. Other than that, I don't see this working out on anything other than paper.
Parker Rogers
>analysts telling devs how to get the woman market >not devs doing their own market research
there's your problem
Zachary Mitchell
yeah, gta san andreas flopped hard after the news about hot coffee i dont understand how did rockstar ever recover after this game that barely sold any copies
Easton Morales
Senran Kagura is a mediocre series though. With the money Xseed wasted bringing them over, we could have gotten more of Falcom's games or the last two Game Center CX games.
And what do you know, we're not going to end up getting Uppers because they'd rather just give us more Senran Kagura.
Michael James
>Honestly it's a win/win for everyone except the people who do not buy week 1
I fucked up...my bad
William Cooper
Pro-censorship advocates don't just want to not see the content when they're playing. They don't want anyone to be able to see it. Hell they don't even play the game themselves most of the time.
Aaron Powell
Its called a pelvis you sad virgin, if you've ever seen a skinny woman naked you've seen it, hell she doesn't even need to be naked, go to the beach and find a skinny girl with a skimpy bikini, you'll see it.
This 4kids tier censoring for a franchise that has never been for kids, its the stupidest kind of censorship.
Xavier Nelson
Yeah because people totally hail Star Ocean 5 as a master piece because it has tits.
