Jason Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Just now, Emmi said: NO. Tell me why the PC version would be banned when the console version isn't. Cause Australia is dumb. If the game is getting denied classification it means it's out fairly soon. So, it isn't Bully 2.

Emmi Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Maybe R* pulls an EA ... announcing the game, releasing a few months later? I know wishful thinking but heck, R* is weird at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOLUT7ON Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Anyway, Australia bans a lot of stuff in gaming and adverts. I was trying to figure out what restriction AC has but couldn't. It can be a random thing. Ground Zero Recruitment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it isn't Bully 2. The current right-wing Australian government is retarded. But they're not gonna ban the same version of the same game. Otherwise R* would have just resent it for reclassification and pointed to the console version. This is definitely for something new. And just because it got a classification (or denied in this case) doesn't always mean it's coming soon. Modern Warfare 2 Remastered was rated by PEGI back in February and still has no sign of even being announced let alone released soon. While I don't think it's Bully 2. It honestly could be anything.

GRANDHEIST Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Speculating ban reasons: - violence towards women (Sadie DLC?) - increased gore (undead nightmare DLC?) - drugs? - gambling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOW'S ANNIE? Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Is there any possible way we can find out what Rockstar have possibly codenamed GTA O/RDR O expansions as for the classification board's review?

Emmi Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 It's probably "just" RDR2 PC, hopefully though it's some big story mode dlc. I think it could be, otherwise why would the PC version be banned when the console version of the same game isn't???

If you type "Rockstar Games" on the Australian Rating site, these are the following results: http://www.classification.gov.au/Pages/Results.aspx?ncdctx=kT%2fxmetv8dU8V74IKBf%2bfyN%2buNuUaPzysrHfZDk2YoSRjlVuf8ijFUW1PGDU%2bP7w All the games are developed by "Rockstar Games", while the guides (there's not only COD WW2 in the results) are made by "Rockstar Games developers". I don't know if that "developers" really makes a difference, maybe all those guides were commissioned to a minor Rockstar studio located in Australia (just guessing really). I don't know how the Australian Rating System works, I just know it's pretty bad and they always get mad when they hear the words "Rockstar" and "Games" combined. The title banned was developed by Rockstar Games, so in theory it should be a game/DLC/app, surely not a guide. I don't think it's RDR2 for PC, it wouldn't make sense to ban a game that already exists on other platforms (unless there's special content just for the PC version). My bet is a RDR2 DLC, probably the famous "coming in summer update" that should bring the already announced 3 different roles. One reason of why it could have been banned: I guess the trader will have to trasnport drugs. Oh wait, drugs in games are allowes in Australia, iFruit has been approved even if it has "drug use"... Yes, drug use in iFruit! Now I understand why the Australian Rating System is the worst. So, if drugs in games in theory are allowed, may it be something related to gambilng and microtransactions? Actually it could also be a Single Player DLC, but I guess that they'd have already announced it. Whatever they banned is coming very soon and , for the moment, the only thing that they officially announced is the RDR Online update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cremefraiche Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 It can't be a gambling or microtransaction issue as GTA V and RDO both currently have microtransations, and GTA just added a literal casino which went off without a hitch in Aus. It's got to be some graphic scene or depiction removed, like when they banned the anal probe scene in the South Park game. Which also makes me think it's not related to Online, as it would be harder to justify censoring something that is already optional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Justice Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Australia are notoriously stuffy about banning drug-related content, specifically when said drug gives the player some kind of buff. In Fallout 3, Med-X (a health item) was originally named Morphine which got the game banned here. More recently, DayZ was banned because it treated cannabis as a health item. GTAV, for example, got through the system because the game had no such benefits from the featured drug use. In RDRII you get a stamina buff for using cocaine gum. I don’t know if this slipped through the cracks a year ago or was deemed passable by the Australian classification board due to period relevancy, but it stands to reason that this situation is no better than using cannabis or morphine as health items, both of which are used in modern medicine (the board is way out of touch on this one). With all that said, I does sound like it could be a DLC for Red Dead. To speculate: perhaps they’re taking the drug-use a step further by including an opium den in Mexico or something like that, there was a stranger mission concerning opium in the first game down there, after all.

To speculate: perhaps they’re taking the drug-use a step further by including an opium den in Mexico or something like that, there was a stranger mission concerning opium in the first game down there, after all. The likely scenarios are: 1: The PC Version which we already know is eventually coming, although why the PC version would get banned puzzles me. I doubt the PC Version will feature any new content, soooo? 2: RDR2 Online DLC, but even with this I have trouble understanding if the Summer Role-Playing update (Which I would imagine this banning would have to be for) would need classification unless its planned to be released as a standalone? But I mean if that was a problem, couldn't Rockstar easily adjust the content to not release in Australia? Confusing. 3: RDR2 Standalone Story Mode DLC, could be an expansion into Mexico (something Rockstar could take advantage of later with the Online). As Yan pointed out on Twitter, Rockstar Codenames typically are unrelated to what the project actually is so I don't know if we should look to deep into "Bonaire". Anyway Story Mode DLC is the most requested content but it's difficult to say for certain if Rockstar has any interest in expanding the Single-Player. Since release they've been very quiet about the possibility of expanding upon it. 4: New Game, maybe Bully 2? I find this the least likely as it seems this game (whatever it is) will be releasing in the near future. 19 hours ago, Emmi said: So Ash has spoken back in 2017 that GTA VI won't be set in Miami. Makes me wonder why we still talk about Miami as the most likely setting then. Hm. For me this means won't be in Miami. Ash is trustworthy.

Expect the unexpected? Maybe. Yes, those were the days when Rockstar actually cared about the single player/story mode. Unfortunately it all changed with the release of the GTA Online, it has made so much money for Rockstar that after all these years they are still milking it... releasing new crap every other week, so that those 12 year olds can keep buying them shark cards!!! Now they are trying to do the same with RDO. Only this time it looks like Rockstar is even more greedier, as they haven’t released a single item to SP since launch(no new guns etc). Store Mode DLC?

The Aussies don't seem to have separate classifications for DLC - some media reported that We Happy Few and DayZ got banned overall due to recent DLC. I thought PEGI didn't either but then again the Diamond Casino & Resort is an entry there.
