Yay! More for US. Cause we don't promote violence we encourage it.

Ah.... good'ol Japan. Where bestiality porn is proudly displayed but you can't buy a little gore and dismembering in space.

Fuck censorship. Germany and China doesn't surprise me, but I am surprised it is banned in Japan.

whoa...
JAPAN?
this is gonna be an awesome game.
i'm very surprised at that.
what i'm even more surprised at is that Australia, somehow, isn't there....
being that they'd ban a Barbie game if it so much as showed her prick her finger.

If you're having a hard time finding something to be proud of, being an American, look no further than the surprising lack of censorship when it comes to games and movies.
This censorship disgusts me. It's like living in the fraking 18th century.
Really? You can't allow ADULTS to play this game, Germany, China, and Australia?
Fuck the board that tells me what I am allowed to play, watch, or read!

This does increase my intrest in the game.
It would be bad ass if it said it was banned in those countries right on the cover of the box when it goes on sale....

im not impressed.. this is exactly the sort of publicity stupid people expect from video games.. theyre just creating more ammo for talking heads on tv and giving uninformed soccer moms something to complain about on talk radio in the morning.
this strikes me as a deliberate move; get the game banned to drum up free publicity in markets that otherwise would've ignored the title..
easy solution: a simple slider/switch that turned up the gore or toned down the carnage.. in sensitive markets set it to 0/none/low and disable the users option to adjust it.. but then itd just be a quick blurb and fly by like whats happening with fallout3 and noone would care..
tacky move.. dont call it censorship cause its not; its called stupid and both parties are to blame.

I don't think the Japanese have so much of a problem with the gore as much as they have a problem with killing flying zombie babies.
China and Germany however, just love the banhammer.
