Linki Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I bought the EFLC on from my local EB games in Melbourne, playing both TLAD and TBOGT I noticed that it has blood pools, blood stains and hooker "services" which you can actually see. A big to R*, good to see how GTA 4 was meant to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algonquin Assassin Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 It's good to see that EFLC wasn't censored, but it shows the inconsistency of our censorship board. I bet $100 the next GTA to come out will be censored again. I'm surprised to see that the scene in TLAD where Stubbs is full frontal, and you can see his dick, and balls wasn't cut out. Aswell as the sex scenes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linki Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 High five indeed. Yeah it will probably be censored, unfortunately. I may be 14, but I understand how troublesome not having an R rating can be, as it is a breach of rights if you being over 18 cannot see material that is for an over 18 audience, quite ridiculous.

Magic_Al Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 It appears the only intentional censorship was to the original console release of GTA IV. The PC version passed uncensored, reflecting reconsideration of the same content. Afterwards it made no sense to censor similar content in TLAD and TBoGT. There was a mixup in the global regions of distribution of the censored and uncensored versions of TLAD DLC but it's now clear the uncensored version was intended for Australia. Having seen the Australian film Walkabout, which contains full-frontal male and female nudity and is rated M in Australia (effectively equivalent to PG-13 in the U.S. in that minors are unrestricted), I doubt the penis in TLAD could have been an additional factor, as GTA IV was already classified the more restricted MA15+.

This is why we need to adopt a R18+ rating on video games. I think it's retarded that the console version of GTA IV was censored, but the PC version wasn't. I don't really care that much about the stuff that was censored, but it's just the principal of it. I'm 23 so well above 18, and I expect to get the full adult experience that GTA games are about. Like I said it's good that TLAD, and TBOGT weren't censored, but if we just had a R18+ rating GTA games, and other games like them wouldn't have to be altered for the Australian gaming market.
