[Warnut]

click on 'mouthoff' down the bottom.

demand a patch in NZ @ release to fix censorship.

 

[TJBremner]

The PM has no say in the matter.

He could try and over turn it, but that'll just backfire and won't work in the end.

 

NZ is getting the censored version so they can play multiplayer with us Australians.

 

It is sh*tty living in Australia and not having an R18+ rating and getting the game cut.

It's another thing living in NZ and having a R18+ rating, and still getting the censored version.

I know, not only do you suffer, we suffer because of it, its ludicris (spelling) if you have R18 for movies in aus why not games? it is just not right!

[rckstr]

I always thought New Zealand was Australia but without Rolf Harris and Kangroos

Is the game being censored so bad? I don't know why you are all going crazy that this game isn't going to have hookers.

Yep, 'cos that's what's being cut. Just hookers.

 

Now get the hell over it.

[Ediblez]

i dont understand this whole cencerd concept for the Aussies... i mean wasnt Australia a island of murders and thiefs?? whats the f*cking use of cencering one video game??

Now get the hell over it.

Actually, it's rumored to be a cutscene that involves a weapon going into one's anal region.

Just like Split-screen?

You can't trust rumours. Plus, even if it is just that, there's youtube, after all.

You really dont get the point do you? I mean seriously, whats the point of you saying "..get the hell over it"

If you arent from NZ or Aussie you really have sweet f*ck all to worry about!

 

Oh and do you have anything to back up what you're saying?

 

ANYTHING that gets cut from the game is unfair! No matter what gets cut, I dont want to get short changed!

 

Whats more upsetting is that NZ has a good rating system, they know that gaming isnt just for little babies, yet we get the CUT version. wtf! That annoys me more than anything.

To add to all this, they wait 2 weeks before the launch to tell us this!

 

And really, if it really was that minor, dont you think Rockstar would clear it up so that people know what an "edited version" actually is?

They are remaining zip shut, maybe because that know that once people know whats being edited out, they wont buy the game?

I'll just import the game and why the f*ck not? its working out way cheaper to import it AND its not a dumbed down version either.

 

So try to think before you make a stupid comment like ".. get the hell over it"!

Although I agree that Australia needs an R rating, by saying things like that you're only displaying your blatant ignorance. Australia hasn't been a prison colony for well over 100 years and thus all of the "convicts" have well and truly died by now. Such things are absolutely irrelevant and have nothing to do with the current situation. Australia is no different to any other Western nation. We all live in cities and towns just like you do in the United States mate, sorry to burst your bubble.

 

Hey wasn't America founded by prudes? OHHH that explains why you all jump up & down like bitter old woman every time there's nudity on TV! People like you act as though censorship is non-existent in the U.S. Wake up, as a whole Americans are more prudish and censored than Australians. The only difference is it's all caused by self-censorship, which my friend, is the worst kind of censorship. Despite your bill of rights and obsession with freedom, time & time again Americans prove their nations hypocrisy.

 

ps, learn how to spell 'censored' for crying out loud.

 

 

Good day.

English motherf*cker! Do you speak it?

All I was saying is that I didn't know why people were getting so uptight about the censorship.

 

Anyway, I fully withdraw my comments after seeing this.

Apparently prostitutes are in. Hmmm

Yeah exactly. Its bad enough that its an edited version, its even worse since they wont tell us.

 

Its like "wait and see what you're missing out on"

 

Would people be upset if NZ and Aussie were getting a few extras in their version of gtaiv? Exclusive to NZ and Aussie?

No one likes getting a dumbed down version of anything.

This says that porsitutes are still in the game and violence is still violent as ever, and foul words such as "f*ck" and "c*nt" are still in the game and not bleeped out.

 

 

But there was no mention of drink driving so i think that wats cut

 

 

also rockstar has denied that the rumored "cut scene" is not true, although this could of been removed before they handed it to the OLFC!

In the report there is a mention of drinking, so it might not be cut.

Well if you actually read the report yourself, you'll find that there are indeed references to drinking. I tried to post a direct link to the report earlier but for some reason the topic kept getting deleted. I was the one who actually sent Kotaku and Palgn the report to begin with as it arrived via email today after I requested it several days ago. I was also the one who spoke to Take2 regarding the sodomy scene. Hence the reason some of the articles refer to me as "iCE654" as it's my username on Whirlpool where I originally posted the information.

If it's something minor that is cut, I'll still cancel my pre-order. F-ck that, I'm not paying top dollar for an R18 game that's censored in any way.

 

I can wait a week for an uncensored version.

[iceman654]

Same here. I'd rather wait also.

yeah, you may aswell order it from playasia.com dude.

It'll cost you less and you get the uncut version which isnt illegal to import to NZ.

As long as you dont import a whole bunch and sell it....... theres a good market for it, but you'll have to submit the uncut version to the rating boards in NZ, which is what should've been done in the first place.

[Warnut]

playasia is only good if ya got a ps3

if ya got a xbox a gamestore in UK is best

 

but the thing that pisses me off about the whole thing if its only minor whys it so hard to tell us thats y my views are F*CK U OFLC and thats y im importing from playasia if they cant tell us it makes me think it must be somthing more.

[arsenal_fan]

What is rockstar aim of letting us know? What is the point of not letting us know?

 

They're just pissing people of more by saying "oh yeah there's something cut, but WERE NOT TELIING YOU"

 

Seriously, i feel like bitchslapping the person who is not telling us the truth, cause they're treating us like bitches
