R18+ on Australian games?

Uncensoring it makes it unplayable online except with others who have also uncensored, making the multiplayer pool rather small.

I think Left 4 Dead wasn't banned nor censored, but the sequel was. Which i think is why so many people were eyerolling, since the content is pretty much the same.

I think L4D was initially banned but was appealed and got through. L4D2 is basically identical but melee weapons make the screen fill with blood which seemed to be the deciding factor. The censored version removed too much though.

Changing the area code does that there are applcations you can install that effectively mod the gore back in, this is what I and my friends use and has worked flawlessly over the internet with randoms in mutations, versus and campaign. If you would like this I would happily point you in the right direction so you can see for yourself.

Anyway R18+ yay I welcome it, hopefully the changes come swiftly.

Hopefully it becomes uncensored now anyway so I won't need that Raider but thanks for the info.

im from AUS and they dont give a shit at all, no matter the age as long as u have a parent/guardian.

Yeah well it certainly matters for those of us over 18. To have the government say we couldn't play something because they didn't think it was appropriate is a slap in the face for a modern free society. This is a huge deal for us. It might be more difficult for you to get games now if you're under 18 though.

Ebay?

[pariah]

Most people will just buy banned/censored games off Ebay and other online places, yeah.

[Tankbuster]

Well, Duh.
