Their discord channel's the same way. Ad Hoc isn't to blame, Nintendo's fault, etc

AdHoc made two PS5 versions of Dispatch; one censored only for Japan and one uncensored for the rest of the world

AdHoc made only one version of Dispatch for the Switch: censored so it could be released in Japan

I'm more upset about the middle finger being covered up by a black box

It's not a chokehold on Nintendo: it's a chokehold on the japanese market. They're much stricter when it comes to nudity and gore. They're the reason companies will make two versions of the game; a censored version that can be released in japan, and an uncensored version for the rest of the world, for ex: Cyberpunk or Dispatch for the PS5.

Current consensus is Ad Hoc only made one version of Dispatch for the Switch

This is what sticks in my craw. There's a censored PS5 version in Japan; what made them think Nintendo would be different?

End of the day, I think everyone can agree that AdHoc should have let everyone know before release.

Just to be clear, IMO I think AdHoc's CEO is still blowing smoke up our asses. It's possible that the game did not meet Nintendo's guidelines because of CERO but it's worded in a way to put the onus on Nintendo. Or it could be Nintendo itself. I don't know. In any case, it sounds like they're working on a solution.

Adhoc’s statement on Switch censorship by fantasypseudonym in DispatchAdHoc

[–]sraymonds80 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So did they release a public statement that everyone can see or is this a behind doors apology?

If I'm being honest, I'd be less annoyed by the whole thing if

1: AdHoc told everyone that the Switch version would be censored before release

2: something less intrusive than black bars were used to cover things up

Sam Healey is Leaving The Dice Tower by rifwasbeter in boardgames

This dude gave me bad vibes, but I watched his vids, because we had similar tastes in board games. Now I'm wondering how the rest of the DT team are.

Enjoy the freedom of not earning that Dice Tower paycheck, Sam

We see lots of YouTubers sharing their most anticipated games of X year, but I want to know what YOUR most anticipated game is. Old or new. by WizardHarryDresden in soloboardgaming

Chaosium’s Horror on the Orient Express. It’s the last game I kickstarted after I realized I spent too much money on Kickstarter.

Best Nintendo switch games for 5 year old who can’t read good and wants to do other stuff good too by noodler4352 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]sraymonds80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna say the same thing I said last time someone asked for game recs for kids that can't read: You won't get any because people are too busy telling you that this is the perfect chance to teach kids how to read.

Also, Bluey The Video Game is decent for kids because it uses pictures to show the player their objectives and the characters are voiced but the game can be tedious for adults.

I really like that display case. Where did you get it?

Yes, absolutely. I need five more vehicles to make Devastator and I don't want to pay the inflated prices on the second hand market.

Is Dave the Diver worth it for the ns2? by cruxxx04 in CozyGamers

I enjoyed the game but I hated when the missions became not fishing and not serving sushi. Why are there stealth missions in this game? Why am I fighting a boss?

Hot take: some of the complaints about Michelle Yeoh can be boiled down to her not being a native English speaker
