You know, I bet the programmers put a lot of work into ensuring the overt violence looked just right. And now it's all wasted down under.

I'm still going with the theory that Valve will offer a free content patch as soon as the game hits shelves, or will just put out the uncensored version anyway since nobody's going to look at it again (using the hollywood theorem)

go ahead and kill thousands of zombies, but just dont let those bodies pile up. That would defintiely harm the children. Now they will leanr the importance of removing the body after a murder.

Ahhh. Austrailia. My neighbouring country finally can play L4d2 in a family friendly way?

OT: I feel sorry for Valve

I feel bad for Australia. They'll have to import a good copy. I mean, it's like hearing the censored version of a song or something. It's just not the same.

What children? Oh, you mean the children that aren't even allowed to play the game in the first place?

Thankfully they'll be a patch available somewhere, most probably before the game's even released that will upgrade us to the proper version.

Or we'll just download the proper version from somewhere else.

Internet > Censorship.

I think I'd prefer a less gor-riffic version.
Its all cosmetic, right? I don't really care for my entertainment to try to scare my pants off, personally.

See, what annoys me about the edited version is that all the stuff they've taken out, was in the first game. There were bodies lying all around the play area, and all the stuff they're taking out ruins the atmosphere of the game. You may as well replace the zombies with unicorns and puppy dogs because it's just not going to be the game it should be.

...Or you could just download it from the States or wherever and then go out and buy a copy, and feel morally correct in your doings. Seriously... censorship on the net doesn't work unless you build a giant firewall ala China and construct physical borders around the country that stop traffic from leaking over it... sheesh. :/

Honestly I couldn't give a damn if the games gory or not, What bothers me is that a country is basicly trying to force self censorship of these materials when they are clearly meant for an adult audience.

Ow. Poor Australia... I can see several workarounds though. Importing or torrent then pay to activate.(I.E. Buy the American version of the game...) But yeah, that board needs to get an 18+ rating.
