Vegetarian Piranha Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 to be honest ill be voting for R18 as it lets R* go all out and wont have any reason to hold back on anything. my other reason is to hopefully get rid of some of the lil 12 year olds...god they are annoying.

Matty Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 If the Australian government would hurry their arses up and get on with the process of introducing an R18+ rating in Australia for video games, then I would prefer Grand Theft Auto V to be rated R18. I don't want to see anything filtered in Grand Theft Auto V as it was in GTA IV if it doesn't meet the MA-15+ criteria (which it most likely won't), and I don't want to see Grand Theft Auto V banned here, either.

mrmojo_prime Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Lets hope so, don't need any 12 year old buggers mouthing off on live chat, or though some times it just hilarious listening to them nut out I wonder if that will stop the Australian classification board from cutting content or banning the game outright, heard something about the the aussie classifacation board trying to ban games like GTA. effects New Zealand as we are in the same region as Australia, we got the same toned down version of GTA IV as Aussie's did when it came out.

As far as I know, only some blood stains and hooker camera angles were altered. Barely used the hos and the blood seemed fine with the MA rating.

r0ck3t0wn3r Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 If it is censored then they most likely do what they did with IV. R* put out a patch to basically undo the censorship... champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedmac Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I live in Australia, and I'm over 18 so R18+ I hope. I don't want it to be dulled down just to get an MA15+ rating. Hopefully we have R18+ before it's release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K^2 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'm American, so I don't care. ESRB FTW. Well, if ESRB sticks V with AO, MS and Sony will refuse to license it for their consoles. There is no government censorship, but it still doesn't mean that developers can do whatever they want if they want the game to sell. On the other hand, AO rating would require a pretty major slip-up on R*'s part. *cough*hot coffee*cough* So it's very unlikely that this will be even an issue. Prior to filing a bug against any of my code, please consider this response to common concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algonquin Assassin Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Another R18+ vote for me. I'm 25 and I don't want some watered version. I'm not a kid anymore you tossers on the Australian Classification Board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barguast Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 R18 / mature for sure. I need my killing sprees otherwise it just isn't GTA. I just hope they scale back the language. Not because I'm particularly offended by it, just that in recent GTA editions it seems to have been used in the place of clever humour. I'm sure some people find F-bombs here, there and everywhere hilarious, but they don't nearly compare to the humour in the early 3D GTA games.

harrydapro Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 R 18+ In the Australian version of GTA IV, they blocked/removed heaps of stuff like pools of blood forming on their head when they die.

I remember when I first played SA and the numerous f-bombs... I was pretty damn excited. They held the language back in the GTA's prior to San Andreas (III, VC) and it seemed like an episode of 24.

IcePwrd Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 to those aussies who are saying R18 In case you haven't realised, R18 = banned it's been made clear that it take at least a couple of years to actually get the ratings system changed, and tbat is if everything goes right currently all states are now in favour of it but there is still a long way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten. Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 to those aussies who are saying R18 In case you haven't realised, R18 = banned it's been made clear that it take at least a couple of years to actually get the ratings system changed, and tbat is if everything goes right currently all states are now in favour of it but there is still a long way to go I'm glad someone finally pointed this out. Although there has been growing support from the governments (something that hasn't been there in years gone by) it will still take a fair while for the ratings laws to be changed. I read in a news article somewhere that although the support has finally got to a stage where it could be changed, it wouldn't be likely to change for at least a couple of years. Earlier this week David Emery (Classification Board applications manager) outlined a lengthy process that needs to take place for the ratings to change. If we are looking at a release within 2 years (which most would agree is likely) than an R18+ game would have to be censored down to fit into the MA15+ category, or banned outright. Of course, once the ratings are changed the games can be resubmitted to try and get classed as R18+, but whether or not it would be financially viable for Rockstar/Take Two is a decision for them to make. In light of these arguments, I have to stick to MA15+ for Australia (for now), and R18+ (or AO) for everywhere else, so it can be introduced once we catch up with the rest of the worlds rating system.

Buy it online from another country. Any games rated R18+ will effectively be banned in Australia. However, customs officials aren't the most alert people when concerning video games should you decide to import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheesyJ Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Those little kids will continue to play the game no matter what. The rating of the game has never succeeded in stopping them before, so why would it stop them now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtamann123 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Here in the US it's guaranteed that V will get an M rating. I bet you when a new GTA comes out the ESRB doesn't even play the game. They just automatically slap the M sticker on the box and copy and paste the content descriptors from pretty much every other GTA lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
