theworldfamous Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 It hasn't even been banned yet, and people are already preparing to burn down parliament! Relax. At worst, Australia will still get the PG version. Relax? I'm just surprised so many people are willing to let their government decide on what games they can or can not buy and under what conditions? Ask yourself why? It doesn't matter that you can just download it, or import or get it any other way. Of course you can. Think about the principle, because if they do it with games they probably do it with a million other things. Again.. why? It's essentially censorship and has no place in a free society. And if you don't care about issues like that... maybe you should, it's because nobody gives a damn they can get away with it. Don't be surprised if next they're gonna try to ban violent games altogether, or fatty foods, or smoking and finally everything that's 'bad for ya'.

dario0807 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Here's an idea - order it from the usa or canada. mindblowing, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrrhic Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Here's an idea - order it from the usa or canada. mindblowing, right? IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! I request that anyone else in this thread that suggests us Australians buy it from a different country is permanently banned. IT'S NOT THAT WE CAN'T LEGALLY BUY THE GAME THAT GETS US PISSED, IT'S THAT THE RANGA IN PARLIMENT WHO TAKES THE NAME JULIA IS CENSORING EVERYTHING WE DO! So everyone stop telling us to buy it somewhere else. Two words: 'No sh*t'. You'd think we would've thought of that wouldn't you. I'd say that the count of people dying this is sitting at around 9000. It's really bloody annoying so please leave this thread if you are having thoughts about saying it. Thank you.

Banno_benny Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 As sh*t as it sounds, IF it does get banned or edited, it's our governments own fault. ALL of the GTA fans are just going to buy the game from overseas somewhere, which means Australia is going to miss out on a LOT of money as we'll be sending it to other countries. Chances are that with a game like GTA which is so widely known to be a top seller the Australian government would be stupid to not allow it to be sold in the AU. Worst case scenario is they'll have to edit or censor the game in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loony979 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 im not worried about it @ all ,so much other Gory games that come out that arnt Banned. + the government will make money of the game due to GST (government Service Tax) the profit from that alone will be in he millions Just GTA V alone.

I can't get better internet, and it takes me a couple minutes to download a song. I'm not f*cking waiting weeks to download GTA V. Plus, my PC can't even run GTA IV so how the f*ck am i supposed to play GTA V? What's your argument about not having a good enough PC?

Also, what is the new 18+ rating for if games are still going to be edited? Off topic: Is your avatar a reference to the interactive movie 'Ripper'? Definitely one of Walken's greatest roles.

If it says your net is faster than at least 75% of AUS, that's why. My internet right now is going faster than usual and this is what i get. It used to only be slower than 85% of AUS.

You sound like you feel that you are being a victim of your government, is that right? Is it illegal to import a game like V from the US for example? Cause if its not, i dont see a problem.

We can't actually get it from anywhere other than the UK and NZ, as those are the only other places that use PAL (other than a few smaller places in Europe i believe).
