Banned in Oz

  • I heard about that, and I am a little surprised as the other LSL games were (and are) available. Still, Australia is a little conservative in some ways, after all they banned a family-friendly and wholesome game called &quot;BMXXX&quot; as well <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>.

  • bmxxxx was a **** game anyway. But I hear we may be about to introduce an R rating for pc games..hmm...

  • You have to be surprised when our censors will let something obscenely gruesome like the Soldier of Fortune series through with barely a shrug of the shoulders, yet as soon as any game hits with minor sexual content they flip out. Personally I´d sooner have my kids watching a bit of good humoured and low level TNA than spilling brains and blood.

  • funny if its sex they are banning, its wrong to show sex but i movies people are mudering and killing each other, and to a extent its okay but once you have people doinga normal human thing to do oooh ooh its all evil

  • I think the issue has more to do with the more graphical fidelity now available in LSL2 than in the original? As far as why LSL1 was OK-ish. Mustang . Well now you´ll have to wait for Loc to bring in the counterpoint. You certainly won´t hear me disagreeing with you. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

  • Lol, I don´t see why they are so mental over sexual content. After all, without it, none of us would be here and it´s been around a lot longer than censorship and killing/violence/murder. Speaking of GTA, I preordered San Andreas, and am not sure if i´m getting the edited one or not. If per chance I got the edited one, what would a lose out on??? &quot;I don´t see any god up here&quot; -- Yuri Gagarin when he first entered orbit around the earth

  • presumably from before we evolved civilisation, i would have thought.

    "for once, i`ll actually tell you what i was thinking; but maybe i won`t have anything to say.."

  • Looked at the box for the game, Rated M for Strong sexual content and Nudity.

It ain´t even realistic violence, I mean come on, the Silver Talon is so Powerfull it can blow a head open from where-ever on the map, the .44 Magnum round however has Power, bu not that much, it might be within a radius of about 1-2 metres, but certainly not from the distances you shoot your enemies. Soldier of Fortune 2 is better in that perspective, and more realistic (I mean come on, who has ever heard of a portable Microwave??) but still the Violence isn´t so bad. *Off-Topic* Well Ed, anyway thanks for answering my questions, I forgot to send a mail back, don´t worry, the fact you tried to answer the mail as good as you did, is enough for me, I just forgot to say that over a mail, so hereby, thanks for answering them *On-Topic* I hope this satisfies your answer Ed... <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle><img src=smilies/icon_smile_clown.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>
