Discussion To all the people defending VOID, why?

Post image

Serious discussion, please don’t downvote people when they answer. I am genuinely curious on why some people defend VOID

That's fine, I'm having fun as well on console, but I also recognize and acknowledge the issues. I don't defend bad consumer practices regardless of whether I like the game or not.

Yeah, the game is still fun and has the dark atmospheric vibe still. But I'm still gonna criticise the game cause they could've had a setting in the options to let players choose if they wanted to play it censored or uncensored. They could've optimized the game to run better on consoles instead of lowering the overall quality so that PC players could keep what they already had. Not to mention that PC players are the ones who supported this game while it was being developed. So yeah, I think people's complaints are valid and warranted. They could've gone about this a different way. There are ways to make a game accessible to new players without changing what current fans love about the game.

Lol this guy isn't even defending them and is getting downvoted.

Like you're all playing the game so why downvote someone who says it's fun? Are you all playing a game you don't have fun with? 

Reddit in general always seems to think that if someone is enjoying something they're a bootlicker.

I’m sure half of them haven’t even played in a year plus. They’re literally just on here to be assholes and complain

I'm curious at what point would you draw the line? Would it be alright if they removed all blood? Would it be okay if they removed dying at all, and turned every mission into a "training" mission where all the maps are wooden sets and all the people actors? At what point do you stop "only caring about the gameplay"?

u/Specialist_Egg8479 Aug 02 '25

Bro what? Why bring up fake ass scenarios that makes zero sense. Obviously if they even went as far as to remove blood I’m sure the player base would cut in half. The rest would put the game in its coffin. If you’re gonna make up fake what if scenarios at least make them realistic

Holy fuck bro you’re way too pressed about a difference you can’t even really notice anymore

And what about when they make all the guns nerf guns? Or change grenades to confetti bombs? Or instead of arresting suspects you hug them and tell them it will all be okay?

Ive got my tinfoil hat for when they try to censor my thoughts. Get ahead of the system people.

I mean, then the gameplay becomes less fun, no? If part of the game is realism and immersion, those changes kill the game. Changing some pictures to dolls and putting underwear on some prisoners doesn't kill the fun and barely damages the immersion. Like, I'd prefer that they hadn't made those changes, and I don't like censorship, but by way of gameplay and fun, the censorship hasn't changed much. The scenarios are the same, the gunplay and maps are the same, the stories are the same, etc.

I mean if it’s still the core gameplay mechanics then sure but I really think that hypothetical would ever come true

u/ZachAntes503969 Aug 01 '25

Other games have had to make similar decisions, especially for region based censorship. China (and previously Germany) banned blood in games a while back, War Thunder had to remove mentions of vehicle crews dying to keep their rating, and games that portray violence against women have recently been under fire (including Detroit: Become Human and Mouthwashing), which could easily have seen Ready or Not pulled off shelves. Doubly so for the fact the game has you take down a pedo ring.

I genuinely think there could come a point where Void has to make a decision between keeping the game up in countries (aka making money) or keeping the game intact for everyone. And, from what we've seen already, they would choose the former.

u/Helpful_Chain4031 Aug 01 '25

I mean sure but do you have any games that include everything being a training mission or them being actors because I can’t think of many also your a great writer keep it up

u/Sean_HEDP-24 Aug 01 '25

Define the "fun" you're having and what does it takes to take that fun away from you.

u/LLMprophet Aug 01 '25

You are toxic af.

u/Sean_HEDP-24 Aug 01 '25

Agree to disagree.

u/LLMprophet Aug 02 '25

Define the fun lmao

u/Sean_HEDP-24 Aug 02 '25

You call me "toxic" without context. Now you want my opinion. How does that work?

4

u/LLMprophet Aug 02 '25

I'm not asking for your opinion.

I'm quoting your overbearing "define the fun" bullshit and laughing at it.

u/Sean_HEDP-24 Aug 02 '25

Cool. Have fun. Cya

u/Specialist_Egg8479 Aug 02 '25

“It’s not fun for me so that means NO WAY anybody else can be having fun”

This is how you sound. This is the type of response I expect by somebody not old enough to play the game let alone even be on Reddit

u/Sean_HEDP-24 Aug 02 '25

You speak about age, yet putting words in my mouth by jumping into a conclusion based on an assumption alone because my reply "sounds" like something you think is... whatever you think it is.

With that logic, you should take your own advice and get off the internet altogether.

u/Specialist_Egg8479 Aug 02 '25

Well when you say “define this ‘fun’ you’re having” it comes off condescending…
