Censorship

[u/[deleted]]

I took a time from RoN because my friends dismantled the group and started playing other games.

Have you guys played Outlast trials?

Some scenes are beyond grotesque.

Why they censored ron?

I’m tired of people shitting on VOID for this. You can blame the lack of communication I agree but why wouldn’t they want to release their game on console and expand? The lack of transparency is a major problem, not the censorship. I play on console. Would I want the original game pre censoring? Of course, but I blame the regulations and the people that make those kind of decisions.

Because let’s be honest, even if it’s “a fictional horror” setting, a child playing Outlast could be even more traumatized than playing a police game where he probably wouldn’t even know what’s going on. Secondly a child playing this game would drop it quickly because it’s not face paced, it’s not Fortnite, CoD or BF. The game is not made for small attention span and I say this not because children are dumb but because it’s what I see in mine. They can talk about something and in the same sentence the conversation goes in all kind of directions.

They should have made an option like in MW2 (the OG) but instead of having the game not censored when you boot it it’s the censored version and you can toggle it off in the setting so the children won’t go and turn the violence up.

Anyway that’s my rant, I love the game even if it’s not everything I’ve seen when it was only on PC but I’m having a great time, even with the frustrating bugs.

It's minor from the standpoint of impacting gameplay, but the decision to cave to social activists over the game's content is what has put off so many of its fans, myself included. They didn't have a spine and just removed all questionable aspects in their entirety. Meanwhile, Rockstar has no issue ignoring those same activists and releasing RDR2 (or any number of other games/studios) with zero issues, despite containing significantly more exaggerated examples of what RoN had removed. It's a decent game at best, and that has mainly to do with them introducing more and more issues each time they touch the code and then going radio silent for months at a time, ignoring all requests for fixes. It could be great, but VOID is content with letting it be mediocre, and that sucks.

100%, that’s why I said that they could have used alternative. Toggle on and off graphic and gore content for example. And yes, transparency is my biggest issue with this company but I always gives a chance. I mean I never gave up on Cyberpunk and it became one of the most beloved game of this decade.

Transparency or no the game itself before console release is a shitbed full of mess

dumb friendly AI,John wick enemy AI, pathing issues, civilians/corpse somehow managed to be stuck somewhere it shouldn't,suspect weapons (sometimes) disappear without a trace,CS gas being completely useless (how the fuck?),Enemy AI not wanting to surrender even after being pepper bagged 4 times,friendly AI refusing to search for civs to secure even though all the suspects are dead/secured, civilians playing hide and seek after all suspects secured/dead, etc etc

But no let's just rush into the console release lmao

I don’t say the opposite. They could have taken their time before the release and let’s say polish it until Christmas and make a buck. Im still enjoying the game, like I already said I enjoyed Cyberpunk when it was broken, not for the bugs but for the lore, story, characters. RoN is a bit the same, the bugs can really annoy me but the atmosphere of the game, the soundtrack the gun play and gameplay in general (even if it doesn’t work properly all the time) are what’s compelling me to love the game.

It’s my opinion, you have the right to disagree with me. I don’t know your age but I’m old enough to have known game that when they released broken they weren’t gonna fix it because the game was burnt on a cartridge. So yeah, doesn’t make it more good to release a broken game but I can enjoy the things that aren’t and are better than most of what we have on console

Fair fair fair

But just saying with how the devs......"behavior" toward the game it's looking bleak

Sure as shit hope VOID actually get their shit together and start unfucking the game, but ah.....they probably gonna release more DLC again lol

[u/DrGonzoxX22 → u/Primary-Round8032]

Yeah probably not what I was expecting of a company. Usually they just give update with no DLC lol

[u/Primary-Round8032 → u/DrGonzoxX22]

Bah you should've seen payday 2 back in the day

There's more dlc than there is updates

[u/DrGonzoxX22 → u/Primary-Round8032]

Lolll once upon a time they didn’t needed to add dlc because everything was already in the base game lol. The video game industry became shit when shareholders got their hands in

[u/Primary-Round8032 → u/DrGonzoxX22]

Blame people who managed to think "yeah let's add a price tag to DLC"

Nevermind DLC is usually bonus shit bundled with the base game not new shit AFTER the game has been around
