This sucks every other country gets the full version but here in Australia we get the censored version. What are your thoughts on this?

That's pretty bad 4 u...
It would've been hilarious though if you got the box art that had been so cleverly designed for the Kiwis (I think that's the nickname... I don't know...)

It's not like Australia would be unable to cope with the stuff in GTA IV... It's ridiculous...

I agree it's stupid just because we don't have R18+ in game sections (which is stupid anyway) they just decide to say that we can't cope with that stuff I'm really annoyed

Well, how about buying an American or a British version of the game? May be cheaper in America, as well, plus no censorship, if you really want the uncensored game... Is it purely a matter of principle or do you want an uncensored copy? We won't judge if you say you want the uncensored... :lol:

Well it would be nice to have the same version as what everyone else is playing not the cut down version

That's the way it is with everything in AS. Shouldn't people be used to/expecting this by now?

Simply because we expect it, does not mean we like it.

I'm just saying, you see it coming. When it hit, everyone was like "What! This can't be!" I do think it's fraking ridiculous, it should be stopped. But don't publicly bitch about what you knew what happened. That's what court is for.

I'm not bitching. I really don't care. But there are a lot of people out there with a lot of anger...

By you, I meant some Australians. I generalize in general statements.

I do hope they fix it out out there for you guys. It truly ruins the experience that is GTA IV.

Sorry, didn't realise how widespread our larrikinism had become. Won't happen again*.
