Every 12 years-old child can get it here in Germany.

We might not like extensive violence but hell we love sex

That's one thing I love America for. Censorship like this is almost nonexistent here.

It's not even an issue of cencorship, rather one of backward legislation. They simply have not approved a rating for videogames above 15+ and there are a couple of people (currently Stephen Conroy) who have made maintaining the status quo part of their political platform.

lol when did Australia become such a communist country.

Better now speak bad about the government, Aussies, or they will come kill your children.


God, i love America.

America is not much better. Developer had to self censor tits in Witcher becouse they were afraid it would bring them AO only rating :D

But its not illegal in America. They just did not want the AO rating, which they would not have gotten, because tits are accptable in a M rated games (see God of War).

 

 

America is WAY better when it comes to the subject of censoring. Nearly if not all bills that try to get passed that would put restricitons on video games are shot down pretty quickly.

I'm not going to get into a where's better debate here but it's technically not illegal here either.  Games that can't achieve a 15+ rating are just not allowed to occupy store space.  It's not illegal to import or even illegal for Australian vendors to sell these games online.

Even though i rarely look to buy such games i find the lack of an 18+ rating just ridiculous.
