10 Genius Ways Video Games Got Past The Censors

Speaking of integrity. The speed-freak, alcoholic disco detective, Harrier Du Bois, has almost none to speak of. Full to the brim with rich characters, well written encounters and a whole town to sink your detective teeth into, Disco Elysium was many people’s game of the year for 2019. You might be wondering, I didn’t hear any controversy about Disco Elysium, what did it do? Interestingly enough, it’s what it didn’t do that makes Disco Elysium so sneaky. When bumbling your way through Revachol, you’ll come across countless characters, all with different viewpoints and motives, one of these being Cuno.

He’s an annoying little s**t. A twelve-year-old drug addict who hates police, among other types of people. As a result, he and a few others will use the awfully derogatory term f****t. This is the only word censored throughout the game, which is understandable. However, upon further inspection and many enraged fan threads, players have found a way to remove the censor. One of the in-game mechanics involves research, pondering a thought found by a resident of the town and reflecting, to later gain an ability. This could be something like gaining another hit-point or in this case, opening your mind and entirely removing censorship from the game.
