So Valve went ahead with a “censored” version of the new game, and it looks like they have approved it for retail in Australia.

Ahh yes, the olden days of the Dragonball Z Quake 3 mod “Bid for Power”… There was a huge row over that because of legal issues with Funimation and us using their cartoon characters and names for attack moves and stuff. The solution; replace the characters with original creations and rename the attack moves… The communitys response post release; add the Dragonball Z models pack and rename the attack moves.

I liked the gore...

The thought of blowing off a head with a shotgun… Very cool!

Especially when they are next to a wall, off with the head, massive spray against the wall!

18+: Gore

Same. Such a shame for 18+‘ers to have to put up with a censored game. Back in the day it didn’t matter so much. They did the same thing with Duke3d, ripping out the shake it baby girls.

So everyone just pirated the US version.

And you can see from above how worth it was….

Not really an option these days with Steam games, or any multiplayer game with copy protection.

sorry, but i cant justify buying the game… after playing the demo, and seeing the “comparision” videos on youtube.

i understand that the game has HEAPS of new additions, is larger and probably is a better game. but i cant get over the fact that the “fear, suspence and atmosphere” have been removed…

Then we get into the realm of the bodies vanish before they hit the ground!

I Agree

I agree, me too shad. For much the same reasons. Until I hear about there being a crack/patch thing for the aussie version which brings back all of the omitted content, ill give it a second thought. What are our ordering from overseas options though? Cant buy a boxed copy of the game from overseas, and have it play unrestricted here in Aus?

I think there’s no reason for

I think there’s no reason for it to be changed. The game is already stable and already liked by many gamers. I agree with Bloodstorm.
