Are you having fun with Techniques Ogre: Reborn? Should you’re a fan of the techniques style you in all probability are, however what you won’t take pleasure in is the randomly draconic profanity filter that has been carried out within the sport. Chat filters and filters basically aren’t a brand new factor, however Techniques Ogre: Reborn is hilarious in that it is a single-player sport, so nobody ought to care what title you employ. Regardless of that, you possibly can’t use one of many default names as a result of the filter prevents its use. It is an ideal instance of the “however why?” meme. Why has this occurred? Your guess is nearly as good as mine.
Mainly, the sport offers you names based mostly in your beginning date, so for those who’re born between Could 2nd and Could twenty fifth, you will get the phrase ‘Flamescale’. Should you go “huh, that is a fairly cool title, thanks Techniques Ogre!” you will obtain this gesture of goodwill:
In accordance with a Twitter user, the rationale for that is that ‘Flamescale’ incorporates the phrase ‘mescal’ as in ‘mescaline’, which is a hallucinogen. Why Sq. Enix cares about what gamers title their very own characters in a single-player sport is past me. My private principle? Sq. has a superb stash of hallucinogens of their very own that they will not share however are paranoid about their fanbase discovering out so as a substitute they banned the phrase. Like Gandalf, they wish to maintain it secret and to maintain it secure. It is a ridiculous principle, nevertheless it’s no much less ridiculous than banning phrases in a single-player sport.
In accordance with PC Gamer, different banned phrases embrace cocaine, ecstasy, LSD, and heroin, however not marijuana. This may appear bizarre however bear in mind, Sq. Enix can afford the flowery medicine. Marijuana simply does not have that ‘it’ issue that mescaline does. As for whether or not or not Sq. will do something about this, your guess is nearly as good as mine. I suppose we’ll have to search out out after they’ve apparently taken a puff or two of the good things.
Thanks, PC Gamer.
