also i think the british are generally relaxed about films and games, im happy enough, besides manhunt never interested me. oh and i got gta when i was like 12, my parents didnt mind and they knew i knew i wernt gonna kill anyone
Its stupid here in Aus, 1 person from each state (total of 5) make the rules. They all must agree on something to pass. 4 of the 5 support 18+ rating for games. 1, from a backwards hick state full of "Christian morals" refuses to comply but never has good reason for doing so.
The issue is, this wont stop online users. I STILL plan on getting L4D2 on PC via Steam, and other people i know are importing it via other sites.
So in the end, nothing gets accomplished, this turd gets heat for being a backwards hick, and gamers will keep playing those "naughty games" etc etc
I had never heard of those ones in China about "damaging the nations glory," and disturbing social order." Thank god Hong Kong isn't completely back to china then. Nice article btw.
All forms of state censorship, excluding censoring state secrets, inciting violence, and public displays of hardcore pornographic material in regards to young children, are abhorrent and should not be tolerated by rational human beings.
I remember the Mass Effect thing. Saw a lady on TV, Fox news possibly? And she was just saying stuff that wasn't accurate at all. It was just lies! It was pretty shocking really.
there was an incident involving GTA IV in new zealand on which a guy protested on removing the "aussie" 15+ rating and asking for it to be reviewed by the new zealand authorities.
Thankfully it worked and we know have the full, bloody R18 version!!!!
it's not the OFLC's fault since Michael Atkinson on the Board of Attorney's General won't allow them to use a 18+ for games, but other forms of media can use it. Usually the OFLC Refuse Classification, then after the game has had a tiny mod, it gets reclassified 15+: the unintended age group that game was made for (the irony being lost on M.A.). They had no problem with the violence in Fallout 3 and Gears Of War.
The funny thing is, on the same day L4D2 got RC, the OFLC passed 2 porn flicks.
And you can see tits and say fuck with the australian equivilant of the TV14 rating on free-to-air network TV.
basicly every gamer in australia is pissed at the fact that left for dead 2 is banned, i personally have never played the first 1 and probably would of never played the second 1 either but the fact they banned it has pissed me off.
