I just don't get it. I can't say shoes. Sure, when you beat Black Hound, Ash says "damn", but I can't say shoes. I can say Grass Assassin, or Diska of Assassin, but I can't say shoes. Now being a FOnewearl, I tend to talk about them often (how ridiculous they look, and that I'd rather have Doc Martens, or fuzzy bunny slippers on), but censoring the word "shoes" is silly. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_smile.gif Reply if anyone can find any other normal words that end up getting censored, or cuss words that got left out. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_smile.gif

Some normal words have bad words in them. Shoes has Hoes in them so it is blocked. Im just glad they didn't block Monkey. That would've been torture......

You gotta be kidding me....

SHOES SHOES SHOES!!!!!

I'm so bad.....

I understand why they put the censorship in, but it seems to be a bit poorly coded (like a bunch of other gripes). They censor some bad words inside of normal words but don't censor bad words separated by one spa ce? Come on....

Also, they block out Hell and that's the name of items! When I say that I have a Hell Gladius +15, it comes out &^#* Gladius +15. How ridiculous is that?

What about "Japs". okay so you can't say "jap". But why can you say "japanese". isn't " Jap" in "Japanese"? if they can do it with that word- why cant they do it with others. Grrr! i gotta go look for my shoe in my basement now.

Can't say farther, since it has fart in it. =( I can't say buggers, but that's not common enough to worry me.

I can't even say "Spunk." It's not just "punk," as punk isn't blocked...It's awful! I love the term "Spunky." God, I hate censors...

Actually...as of the patch that changed the servers you are able to say "shoes" now...at least I was. I'm not sure about any of the others though...didn't know about them so I didn't try. I think Sega may be tweaking their filter ever so slightly until they get it right...but it still is kinda ridiculous. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_smile.gif

You can't say basement.
You can say dammit and dumbass.

And off topic... Am I the only one who thinks Heaven's Punisher looks like a Playstaytion controler?

I remember playing with a guy named "spasm" and whenever I said his name it got edited. you cant say poop either. I think the censors got a bit carried away.

i can't even say 'hell' but i can say 'hella' and it won't even censor the 'hell' in 'hella', that is just messed up...

i agree with censoreship, to a certan degree. i think thay shoulda only blocked the major bad words like f**k, b**ch and d**k. but all the other words shouldn't be censored like ass, i use ass in my everyday sentances, i also use dumbass and some other words. and another thing this game has a teen rating meaning that you have to be 13+ or have parental permishin. come on !! to anybody 13+ ass and fart are common everyday words. sure i can't spell and sure i lol at the word fart. but i'm mature enuf to now what should be censored and what shouldn't (you guys now this to), its rediculus.

P.S. i said this before and i'm gonna say it again: I CAN'T SPELL !!!!

LoL...you can't say "snatch" the whole word itself is censored..i guess it must be some kinda slang or they probably didn't want ppl talking about snatching panties and bras or something http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_razz.gif

The game is rated mature, so why even have a filter in it? If nothing else, atleast they could have given us a choice to enable or disable if you wanna see 'bad' words. Like most other games that has that kind of filter built in do.

Laf, fear not knowing what a 'snatch' is. You're from the US while i'm from sweden and even i know what it means. If you wanna know what it is think of of something women got between their legs. And no i don't mean men http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_razz.gif

OK i understand the cuss words,and i understand why kkk is blocked but,what if your trying to tell the person something like...

I had pork on saturday.
I got new shoes on saturday.
saturdays my favorite day of the week.
i come from hellington.

i know these sentences are kinda unlikely but what if your trying to say them?
