This is a censored product.

During the mission 'Earth Girls Are Easy', the line "So vocal, so responsive... this is gonna be good." when Miss Rockwell is being abducted is completely cut out. I don't know if this is the only example. EDIT: My post in the discussion section about this topic has been deleted. Not locked, just wiped from existence.

In the video below (edit, some people have time stamp issues, so start at 30:07) you can see the original scene.

And in the following video, you'll see the 2020 version of the same scene (start at 29:32) .

Interestingly, they saw fit to add a disclaimer to the start of this game, warning people it may contain content that would upset twitter users. I find it strange to act as if you're simply remastering the game, not cutting anything some may find offensive, then do it anyway.

I'm not interested in supporting censored products, I'm posting this to inform anyone that feels the same way. You can explain how little you care, or how it's not censorship since you agree with it, in the comments if you'd like.

Thank you for this review.

Interesting that they felt the need to remove a line of dialogue because they felt it was "terrible" and yet they left in a weapon that's basically an act of sexual assault.

Well, this comment section has done more than enough to convince me to not buy the game.

Claim? You're randomly trying to explain the motivations behind censorship. I understand why it's done, the reasons are meaningless. I can explain to you why someone might murder an innocent, any reason you can come up with doesn't change whether it's moral or not.

Go ahead and quote me insulting anyone personally. Of the two of us, you're the only one to give a personal insult. Hypocrite.

It's interesting that the one claiming I'm close minded doesn't want to engage with opposing ideas anymore. I'm not open minded to people trying to argue it's down to opinion whether or not murder is okay, I'll admit that. Some people simply hold untenable positions.

Wow you're dim, you take a portion of what I said and claim that's my point, no subjectivity was not the point I was trying to make, I claim that censorship hides the immorality of our actions, censorship is basically a filter of the stuff you might not want to hear or see. Also regarding the other forum, you resulted in insulting the people with opposing opinions which is the reason the OP closed the replies, so I'm done here, not gonna argue with someone who isn't open minded.

That you have to resort to crying about subjectivity shows how weak your position is. You can't argue it on it's own merits. What is moral is not subjective. You don't get to disagree that murdering innocents is wrong, for example. You'll be stopped by force, all the screeching in the world about subjectivity won't change a thing.

You are wrong, as is anyone standing in defense of censorship. It's no different from defending any other immoral act. A large amount or even a majority of people doing something doesn't make it moral. Do I have to give you a list of the things done by most of the world, all while thinking it was perfectly fine? You're equivalent to those opposing people arguing against slavery, or the witch trials, or any number of things people eventually realized were evil, and completely removed from our society.

You say "our current" government as if you know we're from the same country. I don't need to see you attempt to explain what censorship is thanks.

All I can tell you is, if you want censorship to come to an end then you'd have to abolish our current government which relies heavily on censorship mind that so yea that's not happening in a million years. Btw I'm saying this again, don't act like you're correct then act all arrogantly because an opinion is very subjective

Hmm what you're saying is, "oh you're wrong agree with me!!" That's what you made your response looks like and no I won't side with you because it's dumb to argue about censorship imo and keep in mind both of us are neither right or wrong because it's my opinion to not care while it's your opinion to care about this video game censorship. Examples of censorship, like how Steam censors users by preventing them putting porn/hentai as their profile pic and how games ban people using racist terms, that's censorship. Us humans have a moral code and censorship censors out what's not in our moral code. Example: You are wearing clothes, right, imagine if you weren't then you'd be on the news and they will censor out your genitalia. Why? Because no one wants to see that and it would be a breech of national security if a popular news broadcast didn't censor something that would be shown to millions to hundreds of million people.

"to remove or suppress what is considered morally, politically, or otherwise objectionable" - Where in this definition does it state it must not be their own property?

It says right there in the definition YOU posted. To remove things considered morally, politically, or otherwise objectionable. Not to remove anything for any reason. If the Saruman scene was removed for because it was seen as objectionable, then it was censorship, if it was cut for time like so much else from those movies, then it wasn't.

It's like you were so convinced the definition must back up what you think that you didn't even read it lmao.

The definition of censor "A person authorized to examine books, films, or other material and to remove or suppress what is considered morally, politically, or otherwise objectionable". They removed it from their own game, which means by definition is not censorship. Seriously though, by your definition if a movie ever deletes a scene or cuts a line it is "censorship". Sorry guys, Lord of the Rings is bad and we have to boycott it because they censored the scene where Sauruman died.
