Recent changes in GTA Online moderation now censor words like "meth" and "cocaine" in chat...
...in a game where large portions of the gameplay are focused around selling meth and cocaine.
Is that game even any fun anymore? I stopped playing after the first year or so.
If you're a fan of shenanigans, have some friends to play with, and know how to avoid the script kiddies, it can be quite fun.
From what I've seen the real fun is on the private FiveM servers
because the devs just ran their censored words list through google translate instead of paying someone to do proper localization.
Try fingers, but hole
With yourself?
Or someone elses fingers if you are feeling adventurous
I remember ye-olden days...
"Nice s~~hoes~~!"
"Let's play again on Sa~~turd~~ay!"
"I can play as loud as I want in the ba~~semen~~t!"
The scunthorpe problem always made me giggle
Dark Souls (2?) blocked "Knight"
RuneScape originally replaced censored words with "cabbage" so a rude message may read "cabbage off newb!" And honestly I feel like that's the best way to implement a child friendly censor
The thrive community forums did it with the word belgium, inspired by the work of Douglas Adams
Black K***ht, of Dark Souls
Or butter being censored as ****er
Arguably making it much worse
It is just worse, and I don't know how someone could argue it isn't.
Dark Souls' implementation is something special. Censors your name based on the language settings you have in place at the time, voice-over dialogue remains in English. So change your system language to either another language you know, or play it a few times so you know what things are, and then put the most offensive shit in as your character name you like.
I said "finish it" in Genshin chat and it censored it as "Fini** **"
Game I play sensors damn, so I have to remember to say dam. Forget constantly so I am getting into he habit of just typing shit fire instead. "Ah, shitfire" Doesn't care to block that I guess
Genshin has China-level censoring, with some really bizarre words like 'tank' being filtered.
Chat censoring should be mostly on the user side with user controlled blacklists and whitelists, with moderator involvement mostly for circumventing the filters.
Don't want to see "penis"? Put it on your own blacklist.
But then you have to see penis while writing penis on the blacklist!
But I do wholeheartedly agree. Censorship should be opt-in, and no one should be bowing to government censorship.
I want to see penis
Two best examples were:
Total War censoring the username Nasser to N***er
Gamefreak banning their own Pokemon (Cofagrigus) from online play unless you renamed it first.
My favorite is GTAO having a language filter thats impossible to turn off. The NPC's will literally yell fuck you when you drive by them but YOU cant say fuck.
Dark souls censoring knight with k***ht
Elden Ring censors the word finger
How about "finga"?
Eden ring censored "Knight" to "K***ht" iirc
My favorite is when characters in the game use profanity but trying to use the same profanity in chat gets censored
"It's the D--k van D--e show! Starring D--k van D--e!"
I remember when playing roblox a couple years ago, they would censor almost every single romanian word and every single number
Its not even that romanian roblox players are rare, every time i managed to write something in romanian, someone would respond in romanian
Romanians are such Chads
I think you confused the countries. Chad and Romania have really similar flags so its understandable
That was the joke :(
animal crossing on ds censored town board messages client side so if you edited the word list in the rom to be blank you could use a flash cart, join someone else's town, put whatever profanity you wanted, and they would see it in their town but wouldnt be able to swear in their own game or anyone else's.
I was playing The Finals and apparently LMAO gets censored, it made me look like an asshole!
YouTube censoring a video that talks about a controversial video, but not the original video itself.
I'm just glad I don't live in Scunthorpe.
Same with penistone
I fucking hate censorship -_-
I just made this account cuase My school account wouldnt work so I now have my own account, thus us vy far the best thing ive seen in a while
Either that's genshin impact or honkai star rail or some other mihoyo game
Genshin
