News R18+ Officially Passed

[Glenno23]

Great news for our QLD stores and gamers!

 

[Mighty P]

Glad QLD got it done, at least the whole country has it now. Can't wait to see what sort of restricted games we get now.

 

[SnakePlisskin]

So there's no R18 games on the shelf yet ? Anybody know how long until we see some.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Hotline Miami 2 refused classification.

Heh.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Nothing has changed then.

Wording is a little weird, though.

 

[Premiers04]

Thank you government for deciding what i can and cant play

Sucks because i want to play it on the Vita but I cant have more than 1 account at a time.

 

[GoldenHodge]

Hotline Miami 2 refused classification.

Heh.

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number was refused classification in Australia due to a sequence featuring a “visual depiction of implied sexual violence.”

[SugarShane]

Hotline Miami 2 refused classification.

Heh.

Anyone else read things like this and it just makes you want to play the game even more? I wouldn't have even batted an eyelid at Hotline before but now I might check it out.

 

[GoldenHodge]

It just reminds me of GTA V when people were saying the game had sexual violence. Obviously not as implied sexual violence in Video Games is banned in Australia.

 

[The Big Sauce]

It's like 16 bit violence as well?

If that can't get through classification I don't know how GTAV did.

Looks like I'll just purchase off of the US store

 

[Mighty P]

I can't for the life of me understand how HM2 was refused classification. Is it that much worse than the 1st? I doubt it. Our system is a joke. So much for the new R18+.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

We can watch the Saw movies but we can't play even Deadly bloody Premonition.

FAIL!

 

[dwwaino]

Someone should make a petition to ban 50 shades of Grey. I know that has nothing to do with the review board, but could at least show how ridiculous the system is.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Twilight's more offensive ... to common sense and good creative writing. But those are important things to keep sacred.

 

[Mighty P]

I don't get it. Especially if it's a cut scene. What's next? Banning rape scenes in film?

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Films are apparently not a bad influence on the kiddies.

You don't have to play Silent Hill to want to do that.

 

[dwwaino]

It's 16bit ffs. Can't tell if violence or pizza toppings.

 

[Hawks1523]

Stupid it got banned, but hated the first so don't really care about the game itself being banned as I wouldn't play it. But the fact it was banned at all is beyond stupid.

 

[Mighty P]

I got stoned and stole a Gruppe Sechs van today cos I wanted to emulate Franklin.
