Fallout 3 Censorship Goes Global

[Kyorisu]

Who knew Australians were such ****ing prudes? Your convict ancestors are turning in their graves.

We aren't. The SA Attorney General is. Protect the kiddies and all that jargon. Also Mikael is correct it's a simple name change, no cause for alaramist rants. Meanwhile the whole jab yourself with narcotics for magic powers concept wasn't so great to begin with.

How does I engineer teh bomb?

Ah ofcourse now I just need to reverse the polarity and she's good to go.

Kyo, did that guy speak up when Bioshock was released in Australia with jamming dirty needles into your veins?

 

[Kyorisu]

Bioshock is rated MA15+ and got through just fine. Rusty needles are aok as long as they aren't related to real life drugs.

Yes, we all know our system is ****ed, stop believing it's EVERY Australian.

Jesus, people, are you mentally challenged?

Nothing was changed except for the name. Morphine became Med-X, what's the ****ing big deal? There were no real-life drugs in Fallout before, so it's actually a good change.

Name's stupid, though.

It would maybe be a good change if it was made out of the developer's own creative volition and not a blanket alteration in reaction to ridiculous nanny mentalities, and methinks you're only dismissive of this because some part of you still loathes Bethesda's work on the game.

Also, "reward and incentive". Even if that's been blown out of proportion of missourced, I still don't appreciate the principle behind the change, regardless of its practical outcome.

Yes well getting your game classified by 5+ different organizations is a pain in the arse I can imagine.
