Left 4 Dead 2 Banned in Australia
Australia's government-sponsored ratings board - the one that loves video games so much - has banned Left 4 Dead 2 for everything from excessive gore with melee weapons to the "realistic, frenetic, and unrelenting violence" of the game's infected. Wait until they see a dingo eat their baby.
Admit it: the first thing you thought when you looked at this thread was, "Now Yahtzee can't review it." :P
Hm? Last I heard they were making an edited version for release in Austrailia. So it's not banned, it's just going to be toned down.
Unless this is some breaking news that bans that version?
@Darkstar614:
I'm not quite sure, I got that passage straight out of the most recent issue of GameInformer. I'm not sure when you heard that, so we'll just have to wait and see.
Kind of dumb that their Mature rating is 15+ instead of 17+, because this is just ridiculous.
So I guess that answers that question, no Left 4 Dead 2 if you're in Australia. Unfortunate :(
"It's 1993 and gaming is for children only. You people better remember that. "
Never forget
Man, this sucks. Gamers in Australia are always getting shit on by these fucking censorship fucks. Australian gamers should organize some huge protests, if they are not already.
That sucks to play a toned down version though. The dialouge won't have any swears, and I gurantee all blood and gore will be taken out. That would drive me crazy.
" @Video_Game_King: People still actually listen to that guy? "I guess so???? Maybe just him???
