How can beneficial drug usage be frowned upon? Unless using substances in the game makes you violent and encourages stealing car stereos to get another hit. If so, fair enough. No one seemed to mind the intravenous use of substances in Bioshock. |

Good news for Australia, although the original denial of a rating sounds like BS to me. Sucks that Bethesda has to tone down their game, but I guess they'll do it for sales. And everybody gets to enjoy the game now. |

Eh, I see this getting the GTA treatment and being pushed back to the full version.
Either way, it's good to see that Australia doesn't get entirely screwed once again. It's bad enough they get everything last. x_X; |

Guess i'll just import the game from overseas and run the risk of becoming a drug addict in the process. Damn Gaming Board make a R18+ Rating already. |

Yup, shoot off those heads, but inject some health and you are crossing the line. We can't escape our horrible history by censoring everything.... |

At least the Aussie's will get the game, even if it's a toned down version. But it seems that their rating system is complete shit tbh. |

The game is rated "M" for a reason. It shouldn't have to be "toned" down to make the "M" rating. Parents should be more responsible and know what their child is like. If he's (or she) is a little bit creative and likes to act stuff out they see on a video game or movie, than do NOT buy them an "M" rated game obviously. That's what killed Manhunt 2. They had to block everything out, which makes the game horrible now. |

well if someone is that easily influenced by a video game and would do drugs just because a make believe simulation does then they have bigger problems and should be shunned from society. and apparently, the leaders of australia are those kinds of people |

Anyway, this is great that AUS gets it. I really wanted to play it and already pre-ordered it. GOTY FTW!!
"you can catch deadly crocodille, but not watch a little drug use in a videogame?"
Well, you van't really cath one here, it's illegal. Unless you have a hunting licence, live out far into the bush, with lots of lagoon's and swamps, and you tell the cops first.
