But how can you disable something that has been already patched out? The button has zero purpose now.Disabling the nudity filter should do what it says... not much else to add there.

That's what I keep writing about here - the character's nudity is just the tip of the iceberg. The problem is much deeper. And along with other cut-out but promised features, it all looks extremely bad. I'll give you this example again - how much more complete would be the scene with Johnny's friend, when he comes out of the shower all wet, having managed to put on only a robe. But we see this black "patch", as if these underpants were hastily drawn with the fill tool in Paint.I pre-downloaded the game and played on launch day and even the strippers in the windows were topless. Even Some street npc's didn't have underwear and wore see through clothing and you could see things. And the general all around sexuality of the Future was Very in your face, immersive and real. Now, you walk into the strip club and all the strippers are fully clothed or mostly clothed, which is the complete opposite of even current day much less the future. You have to save and reload 4 times as well as toggling the nudity filter two or three times in order for them to be dressed in any way sexual and even if they're topless now there are still pasties. So I think that part is a bug but idk. Now for the censoring, I remember the first time evelyn took me into that room while discussing the arasaka job i was blown away and proud that the game had a topless holographic stripper dancing right there. It was immersive as F and as it should be. started a new character after the patch and now the hologram has pasties. So this is more than just underwear in public censor, this was intentional censoring that wasn't in the initial release. The difference between the nudity filter on and off now appears to only be for the inventory screen. That's it. Rest of the game has been changed to T for Teens and the only reason it stays M is because of the gore. I've said it before, if that's the stance they decided to take after launch then fine but at least own up to it and tell us outright that they patched in the censoring rather than leaving that tidbit out of the patch notes. And if they don't want to get their hands dirty with the corpos then open it up to modders/fixers for pc. But I just wish they were honest about it because the blanket statement of "the underwear is not a bug", does not explain the other Censoring things I have seen that are different from the first patch. I'm sure someone who uses a lot of "Arrrgh" in their vocabulary could most likely confirm this if they have the un-patched launch version. Not that i promote that but It would be interesting to see what exactly was censored and make our own patch notes since it appears we aren't getting the whole story. I kinda feel bad for CDPR though, they made a game about freedom and sticking it to the man and being a rebel only to be shot down and bound by the very theme they were attempting to convey....
Yeah I guess lessons fucking learned for us. It's just too good to be true sadly.Well... no such thing as an actual AAA game for adults in these days.
Let's not exaggerate, this wasn't a "significant" change.but that would be a rather significant change to a product after release. considering advertisement centered around nudity that is a change that really they cant make without telling people their intention before release.
If underwear were added after release or also before release because it was forced by Sony or ESRB is forced censorship and it's unacceptable. Censored version aren't the real product but only a politically correct copy intended for families of it.Let's not exaggerate, this wasn't a "significant" change.
Sex is still very much everywhere in NC (character's naked in inventory, commercials depicting sensitive representation, Joytoy you can pay for sex, depiction of dildos and many references to nudity/sex through dilogues and readables...).
A significant change would be to put mosaics on every sensitive visuals in the game, for example (Japan style)...That yes, I would fully understand people getting apeshit for this, but just adding panties on your character only when he/she's in game while keeping full frontal nudity in the inventory, it's very much a detail.
Again, I'm not saying it's the way it should be. Yes, it's dumb and I too, wish we were living in a world where sexuality isn't this shameful thing that our society tells us to be but it's just the world we live in, unfortuantely, and the step back made by CDPR is really not a big deal compared to what they could have done.
The problem with this whole question is that: At the end of the day, CDPR tried to make a game more mature than the average AAA games by being a little bit more graphic and explicit when it stands to sex.
And the thing is, they succeeded. Yes, you can criticise them for not giving enough options for Joytoys and yes, wearing panties when you're not supposed to is lame but the game is still way beyond the vast majority of AAA games when it stands to depiction of nudity.
For this reason, while I undertand people for their disappointement on the question, I feel like it's kinda unfair for CDPR's developpers who genuinely tried to push the limit line how much as they could for the players.
Nothing is tolerated, also violent contents can be cut and censored if the game get an AO rating for this.Guns and all kinds of violence is tolerable, but not genitalia. I hope humanity is destroyed very soon. Something is severely wrong with the minds.
I really want proof of this, I need too see a gameplay footage on a day one un-patched version of the game, this would be a BIG win if we show that to everyone.I pre-downloaded the game and played on launch day and even the strippers in the windows were topless. Even Some street npc's didn't have underwear and wore see through clothing and you could see things. And the general all around sexuality of the Future was Very in your face, immersive and real.

So from what i read things are getting worse than expected. I watched day one's gameplay and i remember that holographic stripper, they're changing a lot of things at this point and maybe even underwear wasn't intended to be in game before some pressions by Sony and retarded ESRB members. I hate censored versions and silent censorship is even worse than transparent communication about it, i want to know what i'm buying, if i know this was going to be fucking toned down i wouldn't have bought it.I pre-downloaded the game and played on launch day and even the strippers in the windows were topless.

Yeah I just checked my character and he's in some generic looking shorts when I took his clothes off.So from what i read things are getting worse than expected. I watched day one's gameplay and i remember that holographic stripper, they're changing a lot of things at this point and maybe even underwear wasn't intended to be in game before some pressions by Sony and retarded ESRB members.

I will get back to you, re downloading my prelaunch version now.I'm checking an old gameplay from the 9th december, so a day before actual game release and before 1.03 patch i think. Gameplay is from an italian guy but i can say that at 02:16:25 you can just see that underwear was already applied in game, at 04:03:40 holographic stripper with just pasties on buttocks. When full nudity was actually possibile in game if just a pre-release version hadn't it ?

But yes, tons of stuff was covered up and patched without warning or notice. I mean TONS!
