Lampir Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Ok don't blame me if you read this, as it has some info spoiling a mission...so if you don't want anything spoiled, dont f*cken read then cry about it.... Okay guys, I have some news for you regarding what was edited from the AU release. I just gave Take2 a call (a friggin expensive 1902 number!) and this is exactly what I was told: "Well in regards to what Rockstar have removed for the Australian release, as far as we're aware there was only one sexually violent cut-scene which Rockstar felt would cause the game to be Refused Classification. Unfortunately we're not able to go into specifics until after the game has been released but I can tell you that the scene involves a weapon being inserted into an enemies private area during a mission where Niko is taking revenge after one of his close friends was forced into sexual intercourse during his stay in prison." And the Source is here also here's Take2's number if you wanna confirm it for yaself! 1902 262 606(expensive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But TBH, if that's all we miss out on, I'm not devo. And I'm sure they'll elude to it in way or another. Just without graphic details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fakey_91 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Seems unbelievable! The whole world will be in outrage - having doubts about this news. I don't think R* would put that in into any game in any region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think R* would put that in into any game in any region. Worse stuff happens in movies and TV all the time. In the HBO production "Oz", that sh*t happens on basically an episodely basis. That's only rated MA15+ in Australia, or R in USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah lol...not missing out on anything if this is indeed true. However.....still doesnt mean that Australia should finally make an R18+ rating for games. If this is the only cut content - i don't care a tiny bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amunication Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Yeah, That mission will probably still be in the game they'll just cut that one scene or point the camera in another direction so you don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algonquin Assassin Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) What I don't get is why is it alright for movies to have strong sex scenes, like in Basic Instinct 2 when Clive Owen is having Anal intercourse with that hot little brunette, but something so harmless like a video game character losing his Anal virginity to a baseball bat is so wrong? It would be hilarious to see. Edited April 15, 2008 by Miamivicecity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be funny to see, but I'll be happy just to watch the missing scene on youtube, it doesn't affect the gameplay at all so i don't care and ill be getting it local along with my gamerpics and 500ms points that u get from the retailers here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonality Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Exactly, just watch the scene on YouTube. Do you all think there will be some announcement to Australian media pre-launch? They may be worried about it affecting sales but, if anything, saying nothing will just make people order another version. If we were aware what was cut, we could make an informed decision and not automatically think 'Drinkdriving will be taken out' or 'lap dances will be given the chop surely!'

I agree...i've gone ahead and ordered off a powerseller from the UK JUST IN CASE and i found out about this today...kinda anoyed but either way who knows there may be a bit more to it than just that 1 scene. I mean i could honestly see them reducing blood levels/decapitation etc because of the comparison of ratings that other guy showed few days back.....I mean on our rating it says medium level violence and no partial nudity or something like that which kinda implies that its slightly washed down in comparison to the other versions which have intense violence and high partial nudity or something...

Grand Theft Auto Dude Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Wow... I'm actually kinda glad we get an edited version now. This was a smart move by R*. If they didn't edit it, it would get RC for sure. Plus, for any perverted freak massive GTA fan, they can still see the scene on YouTube. Guess this thing panned out well. But sucks for those who imported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PunchingFaces Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 It might be true.....but then again the source is just some dude saying he spoke to a T2 rep/service, and posting about it. Not exactly fact yet. I'm happy to import. It is going to cost me $35 less to get the uncut version from the UK, than the cheapest I could find locally.

mubd Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 So, I bet that the cutscene would have niko shoving a knife into a man's dick, ripping out the testicles and causing extreme pain and blood loss? I doubt it would be a woman, or else there would be OUTRAGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansenmork Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 sounds like a basic cock stab to me. No way in hell is niko going to be shoving a katana up some womans clunge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebness Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Will probably be paying homage to Fight Club with some guy getting knackered with a knife. Least now people can stop acting like they've been cheated, if its true that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Bellic Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 HAHA I think he will slowly curl his long fingers around the thick, tubular shape of Brucie's genitalia and slowly move his hand up and down. WOOPS something squirted out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emigrating Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 This doesn't add up. If that was all they cut from the game it would have no effect on Multiplayer - hence there would be no reason for NZ to get the censored edition so they could play MP against the Aussies.

Lampir Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Ok for the post above, just cos a part is censored does not make the MP region locked, that would be insanely stupid. Think man, THINK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
