They're not xbox devs, they're PC devs. Name a PS4 dev that censored your own name in singleplayer or gtfo.
Oh damnit. Yeah, they deserve scorn for that.

the amount of stupidity from both sides in this thread is once again, astonishing.
is it stupid to censor names in a single player game? yes... but it has been done before, going back decades even.
not only is this nothing new, their system is also so weak that you can name your character GayNi**erFa**ot and it won't detect it, so even if you wanna ruin your game with childish crap like that, you still can very easily do so.
jesus Christ... just when you thought nothing can be as filled with stupidity as resetera you see this thread and that "you can't have long hair" shit in that other thread... which isn't even true btw. my character has long hair, and the reason other characters don't have long hair is literally explained in the lore...
and to the people saying it's good that they censor names in a strictly single player game... wtf is wrong with you? are you scared that if they give you the ability to call yourself Hitler you'll brainwash yourself to become a fucking nazi?

I am so against SJW's and all that, but making threads like this and the female one are just as annoying. Can't we get some fucking game talk, more people are talking about the hair than the actual game itself.

I guess you are right. But I still think that sort of stuff should be enforced by the different streaming services instead of limiting it for ALL players.
And as always I find it kind of ironic that, from my understanding, the game gives you the freedom to play as a murdering psychopath.... but god forbid you call your character "gringo" or "twat"

I despise the absurd, hysterical SJWs and their stupid outrage culture more than words can express. They constantly look for something to be offended about so they can throw a tantrum.
This & the hair thread feelkinda like the same thing to me, people looking for something to get offended by. It makes me sad because NeoGAF overall has far saner and much more intelligent people than many of the dark corners of the internet, but it's depressing to see many on GAF looking for SJWs under every bush with the same fervor as the REE Asylum constantly seeks shit to throw an outrage party over.
Are some of the hairstyles ugly & mannish? Oh hell yes. Is censoring names in a SP game stupid? Unbelieveably so. Is it a really big deal? Not to me.

It's a forum. People can talk and feel offended or have fun as much as they want. That's the whole point. There's a main topic for the game if you dont care. Ignore the threads and move on. Let people discuss if they want to. If you want to censor or limit our discussions then feel free to join Reera but don;t call people stupid just because you don't like things. If anything your argument is stupid.

Making fun of dumb shit is fun. Getting offended by people making fun of a trillion dollar corporation’s product is...odd. Especially over a game that is all about the evils of trillion dollar corporations.

Who gives a shit. Most of this only affects buffoons that want to use goofy names or slurs anyways. Does this really hurt anybody?

For real though you don’t see a problem with this kind of thing in a single player game? On principle at least?

Yes and if we don't fight this shit every single step of the way, some day it will be something you care about that's forbidden to say. It's not like it's going to hit a point where the people driving this will be satisfied and will stop censoring. That's never how it works

No it's really not. It's just the usual kind of character models that you find in a Fallout game.

Yes it is. They look more like men than women and are obviously intentionally ugly

If you play on PC I'm sure this can be modified/removed. Console players are SOL. It seems really petty for them to do it but really who cares? The majority of ppl who play this game are not going to even try to name their players something that is banned.
I understand and agree with the wider implications of all the sjw nonsense, double-standards when it comes to violence and profanity itself in the game. A game that is littered with profanity and probably sexual innuendo seems a little strange to ban ppl from probably using some words that are used in the game itself.

I honestly don't see the issue. Why would you want to name your character any of these things anyway?
Just give your character a normal name like a regular person and boom. Problem solved.

You're asking people who don't have principles. It's telling when instead of asking the developers "who cares", the issue is instead with .1% of people affected by this silly ban. I always pick the most basic generic names in rpg's because I want to be immersed, but who the fuck am i to nanny someone else from picking whatever fucking dumb name they wanna choose.? What kind of bizarro world are we living in, and to see people defend this shit because of "why would you wanna... anyway" fuck you.

NoCan some of our South American friends try this out for us?Insane Metal do you have Game Pass right now? Still need someone from the US to give this a shot on PS4.
I put this censor list(narrowed down to words I can understand) and a list of the 100 most common words into a random sentence generator and holy shit. So fucking funny.
"do more or you have of a day to minge"
"blowjob thing rape of its wagina up them boukak"
ps: blowjob bimbo LOL

On the plus side, being from a country with only 6 million people means my language isn't on the verboten list. I may just have to download it on gamepass, make the most obscene name i can think of in Danish and grab lots of screenshots from all the dialog where my name appears

Good question. I always wondered how exactly is it profitable for devs who put their games on the gamepass.

So what? How is it our fault that few people want to talk about the actual game? This thread takes nothing away from the OT in any way

Me too, I hate Muslims and don't want to see characters named that in The Outer Worlds. I only want to see characters named things like "Christian" and "Heterosexual" which aren't banned.

Seconded.
Both SJW's and anti-SJW's use the same methods of nitpicking shit to find something to get outraged by and getting to play the victim.
Two sides of the same coin. And twice the annoyance.
Katsura

Complaining about censoring in a single player game is 'nitpicking'? Really? Also, one is the reaction to another. If SJW weren't pushing their regressive shit in games, we wouldn't be reacting to it. Clearly one side is worse than the other in this scenario. To argue otherwise seems very dishonest
As said earlier, you're free to ignore this thread. It does not take anything away from the OT about the game. Complaining that it exists makes it hard for me to believe you're actually against SJW

LOL crazy devs, it’s singleplayer, who cares.
Have people tried with special characters ? Like Gây, Bimbø, Çuckold, so many to test...!
Besides those stupid moves, game is really fun but so many female characters are just dumb looking or have a cheesy attitude, this Nyoka companion I just met is a prime example with her pink hair
