Anyone end up getting some of these? I bought 10 and they sent me 12 including one that wasn't actually avaliable online so that's nice.

What's the point of them?

Nothing.

New GTA 6 Leak Suggests Return To Vice City Inspired By Narcos

<p>Grand Theft Auto 6 is a game that we still don’t really know anything about. There have been plenty of leaks, speculation, and rumours over the years, but nobody really seems that sure about what exactly Rockstar Games is cooking up for its beloved crime-sim franchise. I say this because...

New Saints Row and Metro confirmed to be in the making

 

[ioppolo]

I don't know about Saints Row, it probably should stay dead after number 4.

 

[dwwaino]

I don't even know wtf it is about anymore.

I hate EA

 

[Exe Gesis]

It's ok, they hate their consumers too, but they love milking every last dollar out of them though.

Seems to be a theme these days by corporations (literally hate their consumers, jack up prices, find ways to extort money, and lash out at them on social media).

Anyone going to tune into Gamescom tomorrow morning?

Looks like we might get some info on cool stuff https://press-start.com.au/news/pla...-will-feature-25-games-and-run-for-two-hours/

F. F. S.

KCD has been RC'd due to DLC with implied sexual assault. implied. I thought things could be contextual? Context is the creator's discretion. Time for an urgent review into our classification guidelines, I can already see Cyberpunk 2077 being RC'd.

 

[drd23]

Oh FFS. Bloody nanny state

 

[quotemokc]

I don't get it, the games have been out for more than a year?

 

[Quivorir]

Again, just let me be an adult and make my own decisions ffs.

 

[dwwaino]

Go and ban pr0n, violent movies, 50 shades of gray, those shitty smut reality shows on MTV etc then. These things have ratings that restrict them to adults, and adults make decisions on whether those things are for them. Adults also know the difference between fantasy and reality. Retailers have a responsibility not to sell adult content to minors and that's the place I'd start.

I don't get it, the games have been out for more than a year?

Both games just released DLC which are also reviewed.

The whole thing is a ******* joke.

 

[drd23]

The most likely cause of the RC rating is a scene about two hours into A Woman's Lot, where soldiers begin raiding the town before pushing Theresa against a wall and proceeding to assault her. One soldier then attempts to rape Theresa, before getting an arrow in the back. I couldn't confirm how the sequence plays out if you fail the stealth segments, but the intent in the cut scene is pretty implicit.

Oh Good, Kingdom Come Deliverance Has Been Banned As Well

So we’ve got DayZ, Hotline Miami, We Happy Few, Katana Zero … what else can we add to the RC pile this year? Come on Kingdom Come: Deliverance, join the club. There hasn’t been much news about Kingdom Come: Deliverance since the release of its last two DLC packs, A Woman’s Lot and Band of […]

www.kotaku.com.au

Umm, almost the exact same thing happened in the second last episode of GoT (except it was Jon Snow with a sword in the back of a soldier instead of a random arrow), and afaik nobody made a big deal about that, and it certainly wasn't banned

And another (although its not actually a game that has been announced yet)

Mystery Rockstar Game 'Bonaire' Banned In Australia

Australia’s been on a bit of a ban frenzy of late, but the latest slapping of the RC sticker might be the most intriguing to date. Amidst the chaos of a string of refused classifications being handed out to Hotline Miami, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, We Happy Few and the ongoing drama with DayZ...

For some reason film and TV is graded differently when a part of the overhaul when we got R18+* was to classify them by the same criteria. It's not happening. Walk into JB hi-fi and good chance you'll find Irreversible on the shelf. I started watching this at a friend's house years ago and I couldn't make it the whole way through. It was violent, disgusting, and I wanted to vomit. Total hypocrisy from the classification board and it needs to be addressed ASAP.

*We didn't really get it.

 

[dwwaino]

Are games still having trouble in Australia because of that one guy in South Australia? Was a number of years since I read about it, but his reasoning didn't sound based in logic and facts, but rather just a personal vendetta.

I haven't bothered to look but think he's still on the board. The over arching view of the board is still that games are for children, so they can't get their head around adult content. The biggest problem is the wording of what qualifies as being Refused Classification. Anything to do with sexual assault is an automatic nope (even if it's contextual, except they claim to allow stuff if it's in context... go figure), so is game enhancing benefits from drugs. We had a NSW Senator (Leyonhjelm) in our court for a while but he's been run out of office.

 

[drd23]

Pretty sure these refusals have very little/nothing to do with the people on the board though as they were apparently all rejected by an automatic system
