Ever since the beginning of the Guitar Hero series, the titles (save for Band Hero) have owned up to an ESRB rating of “T for Teen” based on the lyrical content of the songs. Until now, the downloadable content has all followed that same basic guideline.
With the release of the February Mega Pack, which was heavy on the modern metal and the obscene, it appears as though the censorship has taken a more lackadaisical approach.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
The details for multiple future Call Of Duty games appear to have leaked, including a follow-up to Advanced Warfare.
Activision Blizzard ordered to pay $23.4M for patent infringement involving popular games.
I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.
Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.
Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.
Slave: Long Live Phil !!!
ALL in the room: LONG LIVE PHIL !!!!
Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.
That's pretty hilarious having to deal with the inconsistency of the language content. I think it's appropriate though. Since video games and music are both expressive art forms, then the censorship should be all but completely lifted.
Some countries still censor music like Australia they have age gates for music and ban some CDs from importing. America has uncensored and censored music. IDK about Europe.
Wow, they really left the curse words in there? This has been a pet peeve with me for a while. RB is pretty good, but GH is inconsistent as hell, sometimes within the same game.
Now get some Steel Panther DLC and I'll start telling people that Warriors of Rock is worth buying.
SingStar had a song (My Chemical Romance - Teenagers) that had the word "Shit" in it :/
