The only motherfuckers who did censorship right

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!?!?!

>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

Yeah, Call of Duty never did recover from those scathing Kotaku reviews.

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.

Almost 10 years ago. Nowadays suggesting they mute jerks in chat sends them into a bloodfrenzy because they "shouldn't have to"

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

i'm actually really surprised they made this part in basically a children's game series

activision would never allow it today

Only dumb faggots listen to game journos, even normies don't pay attention to them. I doubt their pissing and moaning would affect anything.

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.

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,

GTAV was the biggest commercial flop thanks to that mandatory torture sequence.

It's just autism.

Could you imagine if this game released now?
Instead of FOX hating on it, all the lefties would.

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

what about MW3 where you're in africa slaughtering innocent people of color who didn't do nothing

Or just game on PC and enjoy every depraved fetish mod you could ever dream of

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!"

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.

>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.

>I haven't played any of the call of duties after mw2

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.

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?

What?

Players complained or even shilled GTAV for the torture sequence or what?

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?

>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.

I'm pretty sure that user is joking

>60 million sales
>commercial flop
Shut up.

Sarcasm dude

ok, post one thing resembling this scene from a later cod.

Popular people? I think the election proves different.

Because society likes to pretend it's prude and women are innocent

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.

>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

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.

>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.

GTA5 was rated PEGI18 and it sold millions.

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?

>!?!?!?!
Is this the power of Reddit?

Alright dudes, I wasn't sure because in this I am offended age anything is possible.

to be fair her vagina is showing and that doesn't need to be in a kids game.

You shouldn't enjoy stuff the society understand as problematic. Period.

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

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?

Holy shit, how can someone be so much of a fucking faggot

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.

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.

I got to the lucio part and slapped my forehead so hard I had to stop reading.

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

how new to the internet are you?

>Being set up poorly
>Working exactly as intended

is*

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.

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.

screw gaming journalism, why it cant be like the old times of nintendo power?

Censorship is not about saving yourself from seeing things you find distasteful.

The point is to deny it to everyone else.

Tell me user

>The point is to deny it to everyone else.
For what reasons?

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

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.

Someone really understand sarcasm.

>Her vagina is showing
You mean her pelvis? There is no vagina being shown in that image.
>Kids game
It's rated T.

>"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!"

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.

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.

"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.

Also the player character in Advanced Warfare gets his arm ripped off in the first campaign mission.

If you want to make games more appealing to females why not include more male romances? Bitches love Otome

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.

>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".

>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?

>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.

Yep, America.

ESRB must feel very useful when the games get censored anyway even if they already rated and approved it.

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.

...

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.

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.

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.

...

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.

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.

Retailers would bully any company who tried to cut the middle man out of any version of their game.

This. Who the fuck goes to any game journo site nowadays? You can get the same information anywhere else online without a narrative.

>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

SJWs were very much a thing going all the way back to the mid-2000s. Does no one remember LiveJournal?

>lose sales

Dragon's Crown sold well despite hissy fits.

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.

>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.

>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?

>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.

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.

>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.

>a

>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.

>analysts telling devs how to get the woman market
>not devs doing their own market research

there's your problem

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

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.

>Honestly it's a win/win for everyone except the people who do not buy week 1

I fucked up...my bad

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.

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.

Yeah because people totally hail Star Ocean 5 as a master piece because it has tits.
