im disappointed in you Europe, I know countries like Germany are very censor happy but on a whole I expected better from us.
At least they realized that censoring the pc versions is pointless.

guess I'm getting it on PC then, I love that I now have that option, seriously, it's not even that I want the scenes uncensored, sometimes I find things funnier censored, it's just the fact I don't even have the option, and I'm not buying a game that lacks features, y'know what would be the ultimate dick-move? if they released the uncensored scenes later as DLC. But they're not gonna do that...right?
I'm a bit annoyed with the colloquial use of 'censoring' in the article, as it implies there's some evil, secretive government controlled committee at work, when in fact it's Ubisoft removing content to get a more favourable age rating in those markets. There's no censorship in the strict sense of the word happening here, just a company trying to maximise its profit margins (an 18+ rating, especially for console games, can really cut into sales as some retail chains refuse to carry anything above 16+ and unlike for PC, retail is still hugely important for consoles).
Yes but they are part of the Pan European Game Information (PEGI) rating agency so if they were trying to get round that then it does make sense to do the UK as well just to be easier.VanTesla said:

Maybe its to do with consoles having parental control options? Anyway, i really hope that instead of deleting they just put a comedy CENSORED banner over the scene - that would almost be funny.....or blurring. 
AAHHHHH WTF.why i know its southpark so that kinda thing happens. Why cut it out it has an adult rating on it right ?! England is run by such a bunch of old farts.
Good thing im on PC and dont and have not bothered with consoles for ages. Seems abit much thou, are parents that lazy ?

Because adults are not smart enough or responsible enough to decide for themselves therefore it is the job of government.gmaverick019 said:
Also because a child might be see it be horribly scarred for life and ripping the wings off butterflies and anal raping their neighbors if they see it in a south park game. Cause adults cannot control their children or regulate what they see or play at all therefore it is the job of government to control it.
you adults are so dumb irresponsible and clueless the government tells us so just by the fact they feel they have to leglislate this garbage and never let them tell you otherwise.
Shame on Ubisoft EMEA to censor so broadly, here in NL no one would object...
So, PC version FTW for even MORE reasons, then!

As a Swede I always get annoyed when a game is censored because of some other country's laws(ours are very lax), Australia, USA and Germany are the usual suspects. USA for nudity, Germany for gore, and Australia for a whole host of things.
That said: Yay for being a PC gamer I guess. [Insert master race remark here].

Bravely Default is being censored!
Get over it, it's not that big of a deal...
South Park is being censored!
What!? This is an outrage!
That's a bummer for sure, and as I understand it it's a self-imposed censorship? Which is kind of weird.
I mean, I think I can guess their reasoning but it's still just weird to me.
You just click on it and then make it the standard and you should be done.

I don't see why it wouldn't. If you have Win7 go into Control Panel > Sound and the TV should be there as a sound device.daveedbear said:

Most graphics cards will output audio just fine through HDMI (except my old GTX 285 that made a loud pop sound our of the speakers every 5 seconds regardless of whether or not I had sound enabled...)daveedbear said:
NVidia and AMD cards typically install a virtual audio adapter along with the graphics driver that can be selected as (or will automatically be set to) your primary sound output when using HDMI and will pass the sound out the Graphics card's HDMI port.
