Still Offended by an Idea in Video Games?

Game Podunker Khorne writes, "The Taliban in Medal of Honor, Cooking Mama vs. PETA, Mass Effect vs. Fox, video games have made headlines and offended many people throughout the years, be it with violent or sexual content or the game touching on a touchy subject people have been offended by video games for years but I have a question to ask: Can you be offended by an idea?"

You kill Nazis in COD. I am offended!!! /s

If having Taliban word in a video game is offending then why is having the word Nazi in a game not offending? COD is also sold in Germany and I think some Germans are offended by it. So, Why wasn't the word Nazi removed in COD if it offended Germans like the word Taliban "offended" some Americans?

There is NO FREEDOM Of SPEECH IN USA. Freedom of speech is a lie!

rdgneoz34907d ago

Having Taliban offended people because its current. No one cares about Nazis or such because it was a while ago. If people want to pretend to be offended, they should say no to all real life counterparts/groups or such in video games, instead of just what concerns them. Else, they're hypocrites.

p.s. Nazis killed a lot more people than the Taliban, but the Nazis are a OK.

Invader_Quirk4907d ago

This isn't an example of freedom of speech being stifled. People have the right to voice their unfounded outrage. "Taliban" wasn't changed to "opposing forces" because of the government; it was changed so the game would sell better. They were free to call them whatever they wanted, but they chose to cave to the complainers so they'd still have good sales.

UP4907d ago

Well said Invader. I am mad that people like to focus on the US when other countries ban and censor games all the time and they are never brought up. The United States have never banned a video game (with exception to the sale of medal of honor on military bases, but the game can be played on military bases just not bought) before.

Xander-RKoS4907d ago

The game was also being banned in other countries for apparently "disrespecting the soldiers" or some crap like that. Military bases were stocking the game, New Zealand was trying to or did ban the game, etc. All because the "bad guy" team was called the Taliban.

UP4907d ago

Disagree: What I said was true the US have never banned a video game for release to the public and other countries have done so multiple time and continue to do so. Look it up if you do not believe me.

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken9h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Valkyrye7h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken6h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

Inverno4h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop3h ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Chocoburger3h ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer2h ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

badz1492h ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Profchaos1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.

A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC

Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.

Sciurus_vulgaris2h ago

The Locust trilogy concluded with Gears of War 3. I don’t get how Gears 4 and 5 are “woke” .
