Uncensored versions of games. in progress
Added by
Telika GOG aims at providing games in their original experience (original low tech versions), and liberated from tacked on limitations (drm). I am not sure why they consider censored games satisfying. Is removed or altered content so much better than drm restrictions ? The GOG versions of Fallout, Giants, Gobliiins feel incomplete because of such details. And the edited parts make no sense on a site that also sells unaltered "mature" games (like Carmageddon, Farenheit, Witcher). I suggest that GOG should (if it doesn't already) treat censored versions as temporary "stopgap measures", keep looking for the original versions with the same energy as for unavailable games, and replace them as soon as they can. Or even, make censorship a DRM-level point during their negociations with titles owners.
ironhide0 Strong language, female objectification and violence weren’t put into games as part of some grand artistic vision. They were added to shock, titillate, gain media attention and above all make money. As graphics and storytelling improve over the years, the cheap tricks used in old games begin to look childish and frankly a bit pathetic. I would want to remove these unfortunate instances from games that I might be associated with.
Kaliesto To add to my previous comment; will need to change the way how uncensored material is provided and that also means changing the way the ESRB, PEGI, and CERO operate as a whole so the Developers are not left having to fight a lost cause.
Kaliesto I'm going to try to take this conversation in a different direction; though I don't know what CDPR did set off this firestorm, but censorship will never be ok. Though I did sympathize if this has to do with the ESRB, PEGI, and CERO (CERO being the most corrupt) have affected the previous ratings then what can be done as a work-around is offering patches that provide uncensored material that the Account Holder on GOG be responsible to handle with care if said patch actually bumps up the Rating of the game. Of course this is on the Developer's personal decision whether he wants this or not. <br /> <br /> I understand though there is some games out there that go way too far (a certain Japanese genre) that completely tainted the well in regards to censorship, and other games that simply have a hate filled message on the level of columbine. <br /> <br /> Those particular games have really caused tension, and the developers behind them should be ashamed for that.
Dihan69 add some adult 18+ games (not mature). You guys will be then not only biggest company Europe, but in the whole earth too.. :v
Agent-94 I am pleasantly surprised Cyberpunk 2077 won't be censored. Since that is the case, there is no reason for other games to be censored here.
Celka123 I will make any of your videos 60 fps. <a href="https://www.fiverr.com/share/9dzW5e" class="light_un" target="_blank">https://www.fiverr.com/share/9dzW5e</a>
themazingness Personally, I'm a fan of options. Some devs include Gore toggles in their games, for example. If they have censored and uncensored versions, why not include an installer for both so you can choose which you want?
4ng3l There are some ways to play to many uncensored games. Of course, I would rather prefer to buy them on GOG ;)
BlackDahlia I'm still waiting for Custer's Revenge: Remastered and A Serbian Game.
N3wV3gaS :(
L1FEsUniverse And for german gamers it has to be essential that on every detail page of a game it is stated if it is a censored version or not. And like on steam where it says that it is a low violence version there should be a button to ignore it from every list. <br /> <br /> Censored action games are just a waste of time. Period.
LifeLover If this thread also about Adult Games (with Sex, Nudity, Mature content) - I'm IN (all my body say Yes). Other non-DRM stores like Steam and IndieGala (have some DRM-free titles) Has alot of Adult Games, SO WHY GOG can't???
Lepsychopathe I want to play as I want, uncensored. This time I'm disappointed with Gog. I will be careful for my next purchases ...
Torrvic WHY GOG!? I did not expected it from you! I just learned that they censoring game. This is fucking bullshit. Just stop it! <br /> I thought that you are a best digital game store on planet Earth but you making this shit. <br /> I want complete versions of Redneck Rampage and Shadow Warrior. Why are you cutting tongues to Low Wang and Leonardo. They have the right to have their own unbiased opinions and it is normal that it can be unacceptible for somebody.
bricky63b Please have uncensored game available for player 18+
Agent-94 CDPR becoming "woke" makes me very concerned about Cyberpunk 2077. Right now I would be surprised if it is uncensored.
mastermind2k I Hate that games have to be censored !!! <br /> I mean i man a Grown Men and old enough to pick the game i want, i dont need a nanny who censor games for me. <br /> <br /> If there is nudism or gore in the games then i can life with that, but i like games who focus on Story and not on Nudism/gore, like Fallout 3 / new vegas i can life without the gore but it i have the feeling that the censoring say me "you are mentaly not grown to play that, this is why we censor it for you". <br /> <br /> If the censor is for Children then i ask just "why on earth a 18+ game was made then" if the peoples are not 18+ then ban them and good is, it is not my fault if they can buy that game or ther parents buy that game for them. <br /> <br /> So yes to Uncensored Version of Games i have the Right to think for myself if i want to see uncensored games or not.
njc0125 yes support
Zrevnur Added my vote long ago. Just read the most recent comments. If they are true then why does this get an "in progress"? It rather looks like recess to me... Why are they doing this censorship anyway? It only makes people (me for sure) wary of buying stuff. The more research I need to put into games before buying the less I end up buying. If GOG would at least honestly document such things on their site I would buy a lot more. As it is now I simply dont trust GOG.
Torchjockey I find it sickening and offensive that our games are being censored. This WILL factor heavily into future purchasing decisions.
Graill CDPR is now woke. like EA, CDPR is now censoring games and caving to subcultures to be politically correct. This is the standard now.
KnightShadePrime Yeah, seriously. I wanted the full Sunrider experience, and fortunately the "patches" were available from the creators' Discord. MAke an adults optional manual download behind a verification if you need to. <br /> I thought Europeans were more evolved on the sex stuff...
neosapian kind of bland and lame that they censor things on an ADULT website! I resent that with a passion! I am still trying to upvote you but the stupid website is "in progress" and I will when it loads properly!
roidex Hi guys, if anybody want buy some stuff please go to <a href="http://roidex.net">SHOP</a>
DeathIsMyName Oh, that's why some phrases are cut out in my Redneck Rampage. Shit. We want full content games!
greggeee got Agony Unrated on Steam. I wonder if Cyberpunk will be censored
KiNgBrAdLeY7 And they refuse AO games. The devs of AGONY, reached gog for partnership THRICE! Yet, canceration... I mean curation... Turned them down THRICE! Votes in the wishlist completely ignored and all that; throwing in the face of those who wanted this game here, the "IT'S TOO NICHE" line!!!
KiNgBrAdLeY7 NOW, GWENT, TOO. <br /> <br /> The "in progress" status, isn't only false positive from GOG, but actually, A LIE, by now. <br /> <br /> GWENT and CYBERPUNK are so going to be an EYESORE, instead of a sight for sore eyes <br /> <br /> If you don't like retard friendly/pandering versions of games, keep in mind that GOG changed. This has to be another old, unofficial policy, given up. GOG isn't the same of what it used to be, anymore.-
L1FEsUniverse And why is there no Details on whether a game is cencored in any kind of way on the game´s detail view?
L1FEsUniverse What I really learned to hate, was when yesterday I saw the option if you scroll down on the details view of a game to buy a whole series of e.g. doom titles and Doom 2+Final Doom was not transferred to the shopping cart than I knew why playing Games in Germany has always been fun! <br /> <br /> (No, when we in Germany speak of retro we do not want to ever see those "dt. Version"-labled German Versions!) <br /> <br /> So it´s just bad that I see some games on your site like my always beloved original Unreal Tournament and I´m able to buy it, because I live in Germany than please do not display them to me at least. Like the way it doesn´t show up when I type in the name in the search bar. <br /> <br /> @Telika: <br /> Oh, GIants? You mean the boobies? Those we did get to see them! Oh yeah, it´s not everything censored over here... ;)
LinguaOccultus +1
Rick_H Upvoted by mistake. The current policy on "censorship" is perfectly sensible and respectable, and I would hate to see it changed.
LordEbu If you think that DRM is more annoying than censored content, GOG. Then you're wrong.
vovick Wow, I had no idea Gobliiins was censored, I mean, what? I also understand that sometimes the current rights owners would outright refuse to put out uncensored games, like Bethesda would do with Fallout 1 and 2, but I would really appreciate if you at least made it explicit on the storefront that the game the customer is getting is an incomplete, cut version.
Prince-Derek uncenzored games !!! I allways what to play the games as the developers created <a href="http://them.Is" class="light_un" target="_blank">them.Is</a> not your bussiness to take care of my kids !!!
Katanamochi i am anti censorship pro free speech,games are a distraction from rl, last thing i want is to worry about what i am saying or if i am woke enought which i aint, give filter option sure as long as they are arbitery and subject to personal choice., make the pc scene just like the nintendo scene, as of today nintendo announced its anti censorship. get woke go broke we need tio support this behaviour with our cash.
Zetawilk I think we should just avoid any topical Internet buzzwords and controversies whatsoever and focus solely on archiving video games like it's TCM. If you really need it, just have a user-set filter to hide games that are trash to them.
Csumbi Please dont let SJW people like Sarkeesian influence the development of your game, dont censor the nudity and violence in Cyberpunk2077. Thank you.
Aeternull Steam is filled wit half assed Hentai games now. Please non of that in here
fridgeband more 18+ adult games. Scary, bloody, Sexy, Action packed, everything crazy! Please YES!
matix1256 Free for BLOOD AND GORE!!! <br /> FREE FOR ANIME BOOBS AND HONKO KOLONKERS!!!!! <br /> MORE DATT ASS'es! <br /> MORE DATE SIMS!!! <br /> FREDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Wolfspam Damn I regret voting for this feature. I was distracted and forgot that when people mention censorship on the internet it's rarely about just a regular desire to see the full version of something and usually just a dog whistle sprinkled with language about free speech. <br /> <br /> I would be fine with having it clearly stated on the store page for a game that content has been cut and the reason for the cut. Though I prefer not to have something available at all if it's going to be cut to conform to some standard, I realize some people would prefer to buy the censored version than no version at all. <br /> <br /> So this is not a vote for the promotion of hate speech on the storefront or to complain about some perceived war on gamers by sjws or whatever some are saying in these comments, I just prefer my games not to be missing content or to have distracting bleeps superimposed onto the "f-word".
ag87 Agreed uncensorship versions (except as controlled by the CUSTOMER through the game's config settings for the games that have them). While there is in some games some content I do not approve of at all (to say the least), what is problematic to a person differs from person to person and therefore needs to be the CUSTOMER'S choice; what someone else considers a problem may be fine with me and visa versa. It is NOT ethically appropriate for any reseller to make this determination, but rather to provide information about various potentially-offensive content (this is why rating systems exist for games and movies). As for legalities, ALL localized versions of the games need to be made available just as if the customer had bought the original product in a physical form. <br />
dgnfly The people at GOG can't even cope with violent games with AO rating how will they ever be capable of bringing uncensored games? GOG seems less like a storefront and more a behind the scenes progressive agenda type company with its own censorship when it comes to bringing certain games to their storefront.
VonKilotz Wouldn't it be a miracle to have the uncensored version of Manhunt 2?
yzane Yes. Please. Fallout? Come on.
cjgonzales87 This is a serious issue. I wasn't even aware of it. If you want to be the Steam killer, you've got to go all in. Not half ass. This is supposed to be for the people. We buy what we want. If it's a big deal to you, then verify age.
KiNgBrAdLeY7 1. Fallout 1 <br /> 2. Fallout 2 <br /> 3. Giants Citizen Kabuto <br /> 4. Gobliiins <br /> 5. Bloodrayne <br /> 6. GRIS (even an adventure game o_0 ) <br /> 7. Huniepop (even a riddle game) <br /> 8. Doom BGF Edition and all older Doom titles that are inside its bundle <br /> <br /> Not only that, but fans don't update the "list of censored games on gog" article, on gogwiki. And GOG itself lately, refuses devs asking to bring their uncensored games here, with the "it's too niche" excuse, even though said devs reach for partnership twice or more and those games have 500+ votes in the wishlist. <br /> <br /> Somebody might want to change the false, "in progress" label, into CANCELLED, or something. I mean, GOG was very true and upfront with us, concerning dropping older policies; this which isn't even a policy, what's the problem in downright admitting that they dropped the ball on that one, as well? <br /> <br /> Whatever happened to fidelity and mutual trust? Anyone???
KiNgBrAdLeY7 Gentlemen, we 've been conned. <br /> <br /> "GOG doesn't allow AO games, unless they have been censored, first" <br /> <br /> "And this is a consistent policy" <br /> <br /> At the end, only DRM-Free will stay; or trully was there, to begin with. We 've been had. Plus, there is a number of censored games already, even Fallout 1/2...
michaledek Censorship is spoiling the artistic vision of the author.
