Conker to be Censored on Xbox

[g0zen]

I doubt that's the reason.

[Joust Williams]

OK, it's an FCC-spearheaded superconspiracy and the proliferation of right wing fundamentalist values, with (insert more politically charged buzzwords) and (Air America Garofalo joke).

I think it's a very plausible reason really.

[g0zen]

I really want you to STFU. You clearly don't have an answer and instead just want to back and forth with your partisan douchebaggery. I'm hoping somewhere knows more than the IGN article as to the reasoning behind the decision.

[Joust Williams]

Do you think you're going to get an honest answer?

If they say "censor", you'll believe it.

If they say "creative decision", you will think they're lieing. There's only been one post of any value relating to the actual title of the thread in this thread, and that is the first one.

Stop acting like you have any understanding of the mental machinations of someone you've never met and know nothing about. And stop acting like you're an arbiter of a valued post in this thread.

Have you ever even played CBFD?

[Joust Williams]

I think I have you pegged, really.

Yes, I have played it. But who cares? Maybe they said "Well, this wasn't actually as funny as if we did this", and then they did it!

"And stop acting like you're an arbiter of a valued post in this thread."
I didn't make the first post.

Why do we care that they bleeped out the swears again?

And maybe they took out some of the boring parts. Who knows. Wait until it's out.

I still think this'll be good.

Let's see... singing poo, overly stacked flower pot, pissing out fires.... hmm what else?

This is like Kevin Smith going back and bleeping out all the swears from J&SBSB. The entire point of the humor is that it's incredibly juvenile and "offensive," and if this was a creative decision it was clearly made by someone who thinks the game's humor has something to fall back on. Really, it doesn't.

People don't think this is censorship because they're just beeping some swears (although the swears being unbeeped in a previous version make it bizarre anyway), people think it's censorship because it's happening in a game where you fight a gigantic mound of shit and fight a variety of dick-joke bosses. If Rare was really doing this in an attempt to be a bit more tasteful, they're going to need a lot more than beeps over "shit" to do it. They're probably also well aware of this as well, which is why I doubt the decision was entirely theirs.

It really isn't that big a deal. Certainly not deserving of an overblown arguement.
