I'm really looking forward to cyberpunk 2077 been excited for years but i hate how stupid Australia is with their game ratings with drugs and stuff in games.. do you guys think it'll be censored in aus with the drugs and stuff? if it is will you be able to just use a vpn..? i dont want a watered down version on this amazing game haha
What was the last game that got censored in Australia? The Witcher 3 and GTA V weren't censored. I think this will be fine. We have the R rating now for video games.
You never know with Australia.
From memory, the only censoring Australia has done was banning Hotline Miami 2 (which, infuriatingly, IGDA supported its ban). I don't think Australia censors much these days but as RyonDK put it, you never know.

Sans Row 3 as well. Mostly the games board or whatever are a bunch of idiots who treat people as if they're children.
either that or they only do things occasionally to justify their existence.
Bros, I feel your pain. Very Painful Negative feels. I send you internet hugs :D

Wow, SR3? Seriously? And I totally agree with the "justify their existence" point. I would cede that there needs to be some classification system so that people in general know what they're buying. You could say that it could be privatised to the developers; but you have to wonder how to decide what classifies as what. For example, you might be able to see a drop of blood in a very pivotal part in a PG movie; but in a game, if you're the one drawing the blood, does that change the message and thus the classification? The very unfortunate facet of this issue is that we're trying to understand a system that analyses very abstract and very context-sensitive content. Which paves a lot of room for twisting a narrative and elaborating on a piece to serve an agenda.

Well, now-a-days, alot of stuff is getting censored due to handholding to a generation of people that can't handle anything graphical in the movie or a video game and therefore...it is censored....it is the new world we are living in.
This was long ago but Left 4 Dead 2 was censored there... quite hilariously might I add. Can't post links but it's worth looking up lol.
What would they even censor though?
They may decide to censor it just because of how popular and anticipated it is but we wont know until the final few weeks before lauch probably. Anyway, if they do censor it some resourceful modder will mod that shit back in.
