Now!? This is getting silly NOW!?teh_Canape said:Woodsey said:
I see what you did there
okay, this whole australia thing with games is just getting silly
If this is where you draw the line, I am a bit confused about your priorities.
It's way past silly, and has been for years and years.
I started noticing it with the "fallout 3 banned in australia because the player could use morphine to make you feel better" thingRealitycrash said:Now!? This is getting silly NOW!?teh_Canape said:Woodsey said:

and I hadn't been keeping up with Australia's situation with video games, so I assumed that by now they would've gotten their shit together
oh boy was I wrong
We're becoming more like America every day I see 
Violence, war, profanity, drugs? Yeah that's fine... Sex? GOODNESS NO! YOU DISGUSTING FUCKING PEASANT! EXILE HIM TO THE DEPTHS OF HELL!
I really don't need to say anymore, our countries politicians are incapable of getting a single thing right with any issue that comes up on the table. I have at least one friend who is looking forward to this game and will be disappointed.

Well, suck it Aus- Whaaaat?Andy Chalk said:
This dampens my mood somewhat for this game, to say the least. Damn you, puritans!
Technically the North American version still had "boob cards" and all that jazz, they'd just slightly changed the artwork to cover up the exposed breasts - pin-up art is still pin-up art whether or not there's actual nudity involved after all. Also a few of the non-human female npcs that would wander around naked had longer hair that covers up their nipples, but nothing was actually "cut" from the game like what this story seems to be suggesting.ShadowsofHope said:
It was piss easy to "uncensor" the game by overwriting a few files though, and CD Projekt eventually released both an uncensored version and a patch for those of us with original retail copies, so I imagine they might do the same thing after a while for gamers in Australia saddled with the 'censored' copy of the sequel.
On the topic of the impending release of The Witcher 2: Only 12 days more until my copy of the ridiculous collector's edition ships, whee!
Oh, I know. I'm just being slightly facetious there. I have the patch.Gildan Bladeborn said:
Though I think I'm going to wait a bit for Witcher 2. Haven't finished the first one exactly, yet.
Gah, rage stroke!
Wait, when is the Witcher 2 release date in Australia, after July? If so we will be able to buy the uncensored version.

Well...not to try and advocate piracy...but the Australians could buy the game, then download the Euro version of the game. Still supporting the developers then.
You know, if you really need digital boobies to make the game?
I hope the don't do anything to affect the grim nature of the world though...

Not in this case. Can you say that it's perfectly acceptable to use "If you do this for me, I'll have sex with you" in a product that's apparently meant for fifteen year old teens? I don't think so.jpoon said:
Plus, now you get "more tangible rewards" (read: items). So it sounds like Australia may have come out on top for once.
Goddammit, what's wrong with having sex as a reward in a game? It's art immitating life.
It also seems somewhat hypocritical. I've seen the list of porn movies that the OLFC has not problem approving every month and the titles of some of those would make Ron Jeremy blush.

Actually, it seems pretty clear to me that nudity was cut from the game, which is definitely something. And definitely censorship.Gildan Bladeborn said:
It's neither here nor there, really, I just don't like the idea of heading down the track where we actually start thinking, oh, it's not really censorship because they didn't cut very much out.
Because certain retailers (Wal-Mart) are picky about what games they stock and sometimes game designers will remove content in order to make sure that they're not being shut out of certain markets.Jabberwock xeno said:
If it makes you feel better, there is an Enhanced Version now that has all the naughty bits in the game.
thats really weird. there is a russian game called "the void" or aka "tension". and there you see naked women, and the rating is PG with the description "mild nudity". maybe because you have some sort of a colour filterish around the breasts, but you still can see the nipples.
