The OFLC are a hypocritical joke down here. Sometimes they' ll let through controversial games with no questions asked. Other times they' ll chuck a hissy fit over the smallest details.

This wouldn' t be a problem if they just applied the R18+ rating (that already exists for ALL other media that' s put through the OFLC) to games.

I don' t even care what they do anymore. If I know a game has been crippled in some way by them, I just import it from other PAL territories, or failing that, buy it on PC.

I dont see how a game can be considered dangerous for having nudity. it could be a fuck fest for all i care and it still wouldnt hurt.

Not much of a surprise to me there.

Seems Australia is trying to outdo their big brother America...I find it rather pathetic.

Yeah really, in the US no games are banned. They are protected by the First Amendment of our government. I hope the title was sarcasm, considering how many other games they' ve banned in Australia.
