Disco Elysium Pre-Release Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[asterix]

Jesus fuck guys, what's all this screeching about some asterixes.

We're family, man. Couldn't just stand aside and let my asterix bros be insulted.

ETA: Even if they're distant relatives, what with our names diverged and all.

 

[fantadomat]

[You do know that is matter of principle??? I won't give money to people that support censorship,and such obvious one at that. IT doesn't matter if it is one word or if the whole text is ****! You sound like an abused wife,it is ok,i get used as a punching bag only on sundays.

Self-censorship out of consideration is worlds away from outside-imposed censorship with the intent to silence certain thoughts, ideas etc.

I can't hear you from all the c*m in your m***h,can you please remove kasparov's c**k out if it?

 

[asterix]

Why would it matter if you know what the character is going to say anyways? If you are set on being offended or whatever, fag or f*g shouldn't matter, since from what I have learnt from the Twitter mob it's all but intent, even if it wasn't intended.

It's not gonna appease any crowds set to be offended, and was probably not intended to do so either.

 

[Alienman]

Than I wonder who is it for...

 

[fantadomat]

Than I wonder who is it for...

People that have a lot of c*m in their mouths and a*sh**es. Lol can you imagine how faggot the devs must be,to get offended just by seeing the word written. They must have some really glorious orgies in there.

 

[fantadomat]

Hey Infinitron can we change the name of this thread to "Disco Elysium - a hardcore story of censorship and offence" or something along this lines? Or has the codex gone full on retardera and afraid to offend certain people?

Hipsters gonna cuck.

Because hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue. F*g tells the audience that you know it’s not nice to call people fags, which is what the people who’d object really care about. It’s a bright neon sign screaming “this is a depiction, not an endorsement.”

 

[asterix]

I tried to give y'all one possibility of who it is for. Scroll few posts up, read. Can't miss it, most cucked post of the page.

And Fanta, you need to get better at this self-censoring thing. I had to reread that last one multiple times before I stopped wondering why the fuck you think people put cum in ashes.

 

[Terenty]

I wonder how many faggots are even gonna play the game.

The number is close to zero no doubt

 

[111111111]

FAGGOT

 

[Terenty]

I actually thought the games gonna make fun of everybody from every political spectrum and every walk of life

Turns out fags are untouchable

This game is the answer to the "what will happen what a team of faggots decide to make a game?" question.

 

[Adidas-Clichèd Cringe]

If having the word faggot in the game and lightly censoring it makes both the PC crowd and codexers have a glorious meltdown, just go for it.

Still hoping the word can be uncensored in the options though.

 

[Kev Inkline]

I...I...I agree with fantadomat on this one. I need to leave Codex for a while, it seems.



But seriously, if you use words that are offensive, or offer the player character an option to use them, go all the way or don't intoduce them at all. I'd rather cuck away from using slurs of my own volition if presented an opportunity, rather than see some censored dialogue.



EDIT: and who knows, maybe the option to uncensor is there.

 

[Terenty]

Now i wonder what other aspects are treated with kiddy gloves

 

[asterix]

The ultimate trolling.

Thought experiment: if they'd just replaced it with some generic "fuckwad" (i.e. actually censored themselves by changing content), they wouldn't be risking any outcry yet to potentially come from "PC Crowd" parts of the Internet, and Codex would've been none the wiser either, by now probably brofisting themselves over advanced race theories and cock carousels still in the game instead. But, they left it in and just bleeped it instead. Why?

looks like the "unspoken rule of show business" that Dave Chappelle talks a lot about applies to video games too

you are never, ever allowed to upset the alphabet people

 

[Butter]

What if it's some heretofore unknown word that just looks like faggot?

 

[Hellion]

The distance between "GOTY" and "SELLOUT CUCKS" is only a single asterisk, it seems.

 

[underground nymph]

Didn’t give much fucks about this gaem so far, but the stream got me completely. This is fucking great, reminds me of good old adventure games. Writing is awesome, couldn’t stop giggling. Totally waiting for the release.

hey now I'm still buying and playing this game, it still looks great. I don't let minor slip-ups affect my judgement, its just weird that this one censor happens on the same map (?) that you can talk to a fucking race realist that puts races into tiers

I just read on the tolerant forum that they do in fact have a swearing filter in the game and the streamers were using it. Dunno if true
