Kinda sucks. I wonder what kind of stuff had been taken off. Maybe the hockers or the decapitation...or the language.

[Ghello]

Im glad I am nowhere near Austrailia, they need to really get off their banwagon.

Though I don't care, because just what I said.

[Dr Lecter]

I was hoping the EU would step in and say the game wasn't violent and explict enough. As far as I can tell, that must have happened with Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) since all versions but the EU were censored.

Oh, wait.

GAMETRAIDERS ROBINA

would probably have a US version of the game. Right, Yahtzee?

Or maybe we won't be having a review of GTA IV on ZP after all.

Sorry for double post.

Why isn't there a 'delete' button for these kind of scenarios?

Because the mods want you to feel the shame of your actions.

The only really interesting part of that article was the bit about Jack Thomson some times I can't believe the prize winning manure he comes up with in court just to get some attention. I want to write a letter to his mother saying she raised an arrogant, prejudiced brat.

Failing that I want him to die in a fire.

I blame that on my Internet connection.


He reminds me of my old maths teacher in collage. Annoying yet his annoyance and arrogance (or his stupidity) makes me laugh.

He can be a pretty smart and sucessful lawyer, but his hatred towards video games and especially the GTA series had slowed him down.

Feel sorry for him.

I could delete your double post, but I won't due to reasons Casual mentioned.

Maybe you could ask Yahtzee very nicely, though.

[Dr Lecter]

So... what you are infact saying is that it won't be deleted. You might aswell ask Yahtzee to draw a cock right here:

I hope not. I can pretty much summerize what would be said.
Racism.
Blanks in reality (like the jumps and plot).
The new crappy driving there apparently (a guy I know says...)
The blatant 'war on violent video games' possibly including Australia's bandwagoning (though this may not prove true if Yahtzee got over it during Man Hunt 2 review).

I've heard stories of the game freezing or not working. Is that true?

My guess is the only thing that will be censored is that first scene of the man getting whipped on his back by the prostitute.

I heard PS3s were locking up, but not everywhere, my 360s fan died yesterday due to 24/7 CoD4 by people in my house so im shit outta luck.

The whip on the back? that's not even bad, it's kinda funny. Im guessing they probably got rid of the hooker riding you in the car when you pay, and probably toned down the violence.

The violence... Is sickeningly realistic, at least compared to San Andreas. For instance, if you shoot someone, injure them, and do not kill them, then they limp away, clutching their wounds. And then the whole rag doll thing when you do kill people -- it's just such a huge departure from the almost cartoony violence of San Andreas/Vice City.

Me and my friends, instead of doing missions, spent hours going on violent rampages across the sand box. The funniest one so far was my friend getting onto a Moped, and driving 60 miles per hour down the side walks, 9mm in hand, shooting random people in the street.

For some reason the game's physics decided that there should be enormous blood splatters when you add 60mph of force to your bullets though.

Also, a good way to kill yourself is to crash your Moped into on comming traffic on the free way while driving 60mph. You pirouette through the air before landing on your head and dying instantly.

Are you calling me an ass licker?

Well, playing the game might not make you violent, but it seems wanting to buy it does:


Pre-launch violence
Prior to the release of Grand Theft Auto IV, there have been reports in the United Kingdom of violence perpetrated against people waiting to buy the game. One man was stabbed while waiting in line to buy the game in Croydon on 29 April 2008. Some bystanders said that they initially thought the attack was a stunt pulled to whip-up yet more excitement for the eagerly anticipated title.[109] In Leyland, Lancashire an 18-year-old man was mugged later the same day by two thieves who punched the victim to the ground and then kicked him, shattering his nose and jaw, before snatching the game and running away.
