Ready or Not - The 2nd video game to let you flash bang a small child

Got the game the pirate way since it sounds like it's going to get censored. Does the game have any failure state? Can I get into issues if too many officers die? I didn't understand if it's better to quit mid mission if it goes bad.
I haven't played much of commander mode, but IIRC officers dying can negatively impact morale of your other officers and you need to grab a new guy to fill his spot, but I don't think the mode has a fail state unless you play Ironman mode, then if you die your entire save is wiped.
-A daycare used for pedo shit if I remember correctly
Just for anyone coming to this thread after the wendigoon video or anything else, it's a talent agency used as a front for said Pedophile trafficking ring, not a Daycare. Ready or Not isn't that edgy.
I was thinking about this last night, but it would have been cooler if they just pixalated/black bar censored the offending content. It would still get the point across for most scenes, and would likely be easy to shut on/off. Not sure if there were demands to directly remove models/textures to be on console.
I imagine they had to remove the models no matter what, they couldn't exist on the console versions. Personally, I think they should have went one of two ways with it.
1: Give the women pasties or something in that vein, they are being sold into sex slavery, I think that would help retain some of the initial "Oh holy fuck" reaction to the scene without having explicit nudity (Maybe reuse clothing from the women at Neon Tomb?)
2: just reuse some clothing from the twisted nerve level? It would fit way better than the way too clean underwear.

Thanks, is there other single player mode?

Pretty sure a talent agency not being used for pedophilia is rarer.

There is practice mode which is the same as commander minus the squad management, you can restart mid mission and if your officers die they reappear after restarting or finishing the mission. You still unlock the missions as normal but you don't unlock any of lore collectibles I believe
I don't keep up with Ready or Not as much as I used to. What is being censored? What happened?

Will mods fix it?
Read Nigga, Read!
For anyone not wanting to read the link, the main changes will be:
-Removal of body destruction on downed/dead enemies.
-Removal of Nudity on certain character models (Gerard Scott on Lethal Obsession and the women on Hide and Seek.)
-Removal of the overdosing animation for the child on Twisted Nerve, replaced with a sleeping animation for some reason.
-Toning down of gore in some static props (example given was a tortured cop on Narcos who will have a bit less blood on him, can be assumed Neon Tomb will suffer the same treatment.)
-Various not-mentioned changes they haven't gone into.
They made a clarification post about what specifically is changing with before and after screenshots. If you don't want to read it (there's not much) the comparison photos will be in the spoiler.

Mods will probably roll back most if not all the changes, I'm sure some modders have already ripped the to-be-changed assets and will mod them back in once the patch drops.
 
Thanks for the links!

Seems dumb to remove stuff like this. Did the team change? New management? Why make it only to remove it?
The change was forced by the console publishers, or else they couldn't release on console. Some changes are console only (Mainly purely texture ones) but all model texture changes are coming to PC too. Just a case of Consoles having double standards.

It isn't bad but with the cargo container they could've made it to where they're wearing dirty raggedy clothes instead of clean-ish looking clothes we're getting.

Apologizes, haven't played the game in ages, waiting for the summer update to replay it. It's still edgier than a modern AAA game like call of duty game vanguard where you play as the diverse marvel A Team VS the not nazis so they can sell to a board audience.

Technically it's the Livestreamer's brother who's the furry, the streamer is just a weeb

Don't forget the CIA connection with said cult as well. Also the fact a lot of the game can, in a way, be tied back to the CIA and even the main character is a CIA experiment.

Edit: The change to the women is fucking horrendous, not because I am le gooner who needs to see starving and beaten women's tits, but because it doesn't even fit the setting. They are being trafficked, why do they have brand new underwear? It doesn't fit the setting in the slightest.
They could have given them rags at the very least like what one of them is wearing. But that might have required too much modeling for what's basically a bunch of NPCs you only see for 10 seconds before the glowies say "oy vey shut it down we don't want you to know the truth".

Modeling clothes is too heckin' hard. 😔
 
Removal of body destruction on downed/dead enemies.
This and Gerard's dangler are actually a huge loss because the trade off is we get console fags which is not only a net negative but I don't play with randoms ever. All the cons with none of the pros.

clearly a situation where they really had no choice really.
Well they decided to monkey branch into that market so they made choices all along the way. They should have known they'd have to neuter their game for console.
Edit: Also, the PC version will always exist and if you play fps games on a console, you're a peasant, unironically. Modern Consoles are pretty dogshit in general, actually. Good luck with no mod support.
My only complaint is the PC version sees some of the censorship as well. Otherwise I wouldn't care at all. It does irritate me slightly that I'm losing out on "features" just so console plebs can play this game.
For the first time there seems to be actual, hard pushback against Void for something, and it's over this shit. Not the delays, not the still present AI issues, not their near constant radio silence met by random bullshit, but the one thing that was actually forced upon them.
Well they're actually doing something for once and it's a bad thing this time. You yourself said that there's issues in the game still and VOID doesn't like to communicate... Except for this massive amount of effort being made to sell the game on console and a bunch of explaining on what is being removed to further that goal. I wonder how far they'd go for console sales. Nudity and post mortem dismemberment is a hard thing to really defend, I mean people in this very thread already are just saying, "that kinda sucks" and that's it. Meanwhile VOID would sooner put effort into placating the ratings boards than fixing aspects of the game.
 
I really feel like Void Interactive started this whole shock thing to get out of a contract with their publisher they didn't want to work with anymore but couldn't terminate it on their end without legal issues so they just made the game poison to them. But they realized the whole shock thing actually might get them more customers.

I mean they already toned the game down a lot before launch. The trailers showed more blood and the school shooting level was 100% not a university in the trailer.

I think it has worked out really well for them though. They managed to get very positive reviews despite missing half the features they advertised prior to launch. It's not a terrible game by any means but it is hardly different than swat 4. They promised this super in-depth story line with crazy characters, a PVP mode, all this shit and its just not there, but no one cares.

Edit: All these missing promises

In anticipation of the console release, a censorship patch is pushed into all copies including the PC version.

EDIT: If I have 4 hours into this, can I still get a refund for the fact that the product is no longer the same product as it was before?
Console niggers and smartphone users ruin everything as usual. There are so many games that had to be cut/dumbed down due to the limitations of consoles.

Genuinely: fuck console users. They've sat around supporting faggot companies that do this kind of shit the entire time to the extent it has become standard to be treated like shit.
I meant this as in, Console will allow a lot of shit for bigger games, but Ready or Not, as a Indie game, get's fucked over and has to censor.
Reddit has all sorts of wacky porn shit but isn't censored on smartphones while smaller apps are. Smartphone users and console user genuinely keep supporting this kind of retarded standard of moderation that is wildly inconsistent and means the internet becomes more and more devoid of content over time.
