Apparently Battlefield V is censoring the words "DLC" (but not "free DLC") "white man" and "nazi". Reminder that the game is set in World War 2.

Also TitanFall is censored as well

Don't suppose anyone here can suggest some decent romhacks of games like Fire Emblem or Pokemon on GBA? I know a ton exist but life is short and I'd sooner avoid the stinkers.

I've heard good things about Pokemon Crystal Clear. It's a hack of Pokemon Crystal where you pick from some choices of which trainer you want to start as, you pick whether you want to start in Johto or Kanto, Kanto has been fixed up to be more in line with the gen 1 version so there's more to do. It also lets you catch every pokemon from gen 1 and 2, in addition to making it a completely open world game so that you can explore in any order you'd like, and gyms progress in difficulty based on your badge count and you can later set the difficulty and refight the gym leaders according to whatever badge count you set it at. Here's a vid that goes over it. It's pretty neat looking.

Reminder that most pubbies are uncivilized, small brained dickheads. If the cost for less complaints in chat about "why can't I can't I wear a true Nazi uniform with swastika", "white power"and the like is being unable to say "DLC", that is a more than fair price to pay.

If you have time to type you are not playing right anyway. And who cares about them censoring DLC? If they left all chat out we'd still be on mumble anyway.

You guys must be playing on console or something because I remember typing a whole bunch in BF1942, BF2 and BF3 when I played on PC. :shrug: I think it's pretty dumb to censor anything in a video game outside of outright racial slurs.

It was "white man" not "white power".

I chatted a lot in old FPS games too - and it had more value before the widespread adoption of easy voice chat, and when you were playing in servers hosted by other players. If you were on one worth a drat, someone was booting the real shitheads anyway.

Just gotta keep walking down that road.
Seems dumb, filters like that are generally so easy to get around that all it'll do is fuel the "SJW censorship" garbage which people'll eat up. Just handing ammo to idiots for little reason if that's all there is to it.

because it's full of screaming assholes who will flip their poo poo at you for not having played since launch and will lose their goddamn mind if a new player is ruining their unranked match

gently caress overwatch, gently caress mobas, gently caress "team based character shooters" or whatever you want to call them, trash genre. at least mobage can be fun

I've played a whole bunch of Quick Play for the past week and it's been extremely chill, people are generally pretty nice to one another and there haven't been too many curbstomps in either direction.

In a hundred hours of unranked Overwatch I have received, like, one abusive chat. 90% of people don't even have voice on

Dota, on the other hand, I tried to play a bit after one of the TIs and in like 5 games I received murder threats, slurs, and also someone on the team throwing and all-chatting the enemy my position to gank me

I've had some people whining when I picked a character they thought should not have been picked, but mostly people are silent when I don't remember to just mute voice chat anyway.

It's still not very fun to play, though.

the first day i bought overwatch, i played unranked with like one friend and three pugs. my team was loving furious that i wasn't pro ice at that poo poo. i was like "guys i just bought this game cut me some slack" and they were like "gently caress YOU YOU SHOULDN'T BE PLAYING" so i realized, they were right! just not for the reasons they thought.

i haven't played it since, and i'm pleased, because it's garbage.

for timeframe, this was decemberish of 2016? if the community has changed, well, i don't really give a gently caress

I think it is okay for someone to not enjoy a game because of the toxic community associated with it

but it is also equally okay to enjoy a game despite the toxic community associated with it

No need for one side to get mad at the other when you both share the same common thread of not liking the toxic community

Overwatch is pretty okay as far as online goes because it takes a very casual approach to the genre. It's the Smash Bros of shooters with all the items on i.e. the only true way to play smash bros.

I tried dota, got the first 5v5 match of the tutorial, and then someone on my team threatens to murder me because I bought a flying donkey and top laners don't buy flying donkies or something dumb like that.

the reason is one of the cards transforms after that amount of time. i assume whoever bothered to speedrun it just left the game running while they went about their life for a week or two
