I couldnt live as a gamer in Australia. They just banned Fallout 3. 😑

What basis do they have for rating that game already?

It's coming out in the fall....? That's not reason enough? 😑

We have had no info on it other then a short teaser trailer? Is that enough to give it a rating?

We don't, developers submit early game builds to the ratings system(s) so they can get an established rating going. That way, if say, The Force Unleashed is going for a "T" rating, they know during development what to cut out and change while they're still actually making the game, instead of having to submit a final product a week before release and then saying "oh s***, we have to go back and completely redo all of these levels, models and textures so we can get our 'T' rating instead of the 'M' they're slapping us with."

So E3 gave us the first look at their gameplay: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36197.html

I thought it looked interesting, I would love to see how a peaceful character could get through what happened in this demo.

Also, 100 hours of gameplay? Didn't like the sound of that too much.

Looks awesome.

I like how you can play FPS style, or RPG style.

Cant wait.

I assume that's including sidequests and everything.

Looks brilliant. Can't wait.

Saw the 1up show, and he was going through it.

Looks even more awesome.

Got a link for that one Smas?

Cool show.

Yeah what the ****, just found that out. But looks like the ban was lifted:

Looks like all they have to do is rename the drugs..

Which is weird cause I've seen Fallout 3 being advertised in every game shop for months with no mention of a ban....

Australia is such a ****ing communist country.

Usually, giving a game an AO rating I dont have a problem with.

But thats just retarded.

Just as good as a ban, no one will sell them.

Not what I meant.

I meant that sometimes games do warrent an AO rating and people complain about that it got it.

I dont have a problem with that because sometimes in warrented.

But this is different. This is a ban because some drugs are called the same as the real things. Morphine is morphine. Nothing wrong with calling it the real thing.

Well in Australia AO is an automatic ban.

I know.

A couple of renames, some removed animations and we get Fallout 3 as close to unaltered as we can getw00t

"The drugs depicted are fictional; drugs are depicted as stylised icons on a menu with the drug use itself not depicted. Whilst navigating a post-apocalyptic futuristic landscape, players can invoke the use of a variety of "chems" listed by fictitious names which include "Buff", "Rad-X", "Psycho" and "Ultrajet".

Again, that was retarded.

I cant believe they wanted to ban a game because of a few drugs being called the real names.

Banning a game for over the top gore is one thing, that just retarded.
