All literally for pre-teens seeing a number they have no idea about and automatically knowing what pornhub and racism is........ there's an extra level of appreciation hell for US taboo policies when it comes to interactive platforms, especially in games that kinda sorta don't really offer voice chat if one doesn't want to nor where it's necessary like in Call of Booty.
Yeah, I’m sure the average Internet user is aware enough of what taboo terminology exists. Even so, a quick Google search can help. I don’t know Turn 10’s moderation staff or process, but I’m sure they keep themselves in the loop through player feedback or contextual research.
Well, then case and point - everything is easily accessible now and barring speech from public forums is just nonsense. Both of us are here on the farms and all.
Forza servers =! public forums (or Kiwi Farms)
Midnight Club 2 had a PC release, that's it.
I really wish something like that but with the Confederate Flag or the Third Reich one.
Exactly what is the design of this within car culture? It's just a red circle with lines sticking out of it. Somebody here said that South Koreans complained about the Rising Sun flag in context with their history.
Was an immense gem of a game through and through and it's a DAMN shame we'll never get a PC port to play with more modern controllers than PS3.
Personally it was like playing a weird, race-only focused GTA and to be fair that's kinda what it was at the time.
Korea should have zero say on anything car-related or adjacent. Kids today have zero clue what any of the old flags mean and your 90 year old grampa playing a racing game is like .000000001% of the player base if that. Fuck making a list and checking it twice on what we can't design with an open-fucking-designer....Just shut the thing down and give us pre-made vinyls and limit how many we can slap together that will avoid the possibility to offend someone.
God I miss Interstate 76&82..........I know there were some odd and end shooty racers since, but can't quite remember the names of em off the top of my head. If you want to take a trip down memory lane though, look up Vangers. That will forever be one of the pinnacles to come from a drunk, depressed mind of Russian game devs.
Closest to that would be with Xbox One/Series through backwards compatibility. Some music was delisted I believed and sharing car (designs?) has been discontinued thanks to the GameSpy closure.
Midnight Club 2 is definitely the black sheep of the franchise. I think it used influences with futurism and the import/export scene. Every racer was voice acted and exaggerated, no licensed brands were used then, it had a PC racer and it's well known for being a brutally difficult racing game.
I'm surprised they haven't done that. I guess since Forza is well known for customization, that would just create further backlash.
I'll say it again - when they removed weekly ranked, which was optional but a CORE freaking feature, and made Forzathon into a complete joke in 5 - I just gave up. And we never got a goddamn red '93 Sentra sedan that is the crux of Mexican roadways. And new stock tire physics feel like complete and total ice-rink and maybe i'd forgotten if 5 was the same, but it just feels more like 4 was with racing slicks and just doesn't feel good.
I remember the backlash for that decision. I never used it myself, but I saw the importance of it. Racing itself is competitive.
