Australia bans 220 video games in 4 months as Government adopts new classification model - Polidicks

[QUOTE]The form also asks developers whether their game contains fictitious creatures that bare naked breasts, offering the example of a harpy. [/QUOTE] Australian is a conservative hell. You have that crazy bitch that silences all debate in parliament and puritans/racists governing everything. My image of Australia as some kindof liberal surfer-stereotype paradise has keeps getting stomped on.

[QUOTE=hrak;48089385]I feel like Australia as a country is going to get fed up one day and some real shit is gonna happen. Serious rioting. Maybe when they come for their booze, Australians like that stuff.[/QUOTE] Yes we gonna riot because we can't play HoboSimulator or Douchebag Beach Club. I don't think anyone here has even heard of those games, and fewer people would care that they are refused classification. And that's the thing too. These games weren't really 'banned', they were tested against our rating system which includes ratings up to R18+ and X18+. If you create a game that isn't acceptable under any of the ratings, that game is probably fucked up anyways. I dunno how games can get much worse than GTA V but apparently 220 games in the past four months were. [editline]1st July 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Rangergxi;48092315]Australian is a conservative hell.

[QUOTE=Eonart;48093442]Saints Row 4 had alien drugs censored and GTAV's real drugs are fine, heck even the ratings label has "Drug Use" and doesn't even make note of all the other fucked up things in the game. Both games were rated after R+18 became a thing. So, Saints Row 4 was worse than GTAV. [editline]1st July 2015[/editline] We do live in a liberal society, doesn't mean the politicians are. Even then the liberals can act like tards like when GTAV got removed from Target because you could kill women in it even though it's never really a main objective.[/QUOTE] Because if GTA V was banned there would have been a massive uproar (much like with Left 4 Dead 2).

[QUOTE]"The good thing about IARC is because it's a global system, it doesn't need to be a family in Melbourne that sees a problem with it, it could be a family in Munich who highlight it," he said. "And if it's highlighted in Germany, for example, and the classification is changed in Germany, or anywhere else in the world, every other jurisdiction will be notified."[/QUOTE] And hopefully Australia doesn't follow suite on their decisions, because Germany is one of the few countries that manages to have even worse censorship than we do!

[QUOTE=ScottyWired;48098471]And hopefully Australia doesn't follow suite on their decisions, because Germany is one of the few countries that manages to have even worse censorship than we do![/QUOTE] From what I've seen the Germans allow drugs and sex in their games, they just flat out ban very gory games and Nazi symbols. Where as here we allow gory games now, but drugs (especially if seen as an incentive or reward), sexual violence (even hints of it to an extent) gets flat out banned here. Hell even sex seen as an incentive or reward can be banned/censored (this obviously does not apply to every game, because the Classification Board are inconsistent as usual). But correct me if I'm wrong about the Germans, not 100% sure.

Why can't every soccer mum be the cool mum too
