Mosaics? Blurred image? *beep* ? Not released in your country?
Today post featuring the most akward and common reason to ban a game.
*Warning! Might not be so awkward and common to certain individuals.*
Australia gaming controversy and gatekeepers for the gaming industry are very hardworking indeed. They have over 20 games being censored for the last few years.
The famous Post-Thermonuclear apocalypse title Fallout 3 was edited because in game drug use.
True, in the game, you venture as a lonely wanderer with nothing but rocks, dirt, radioactive goons and critters that always wanted a piece of you. Most of the time to keep yourself alive and cleansing radiation. Drugs were introduce. Although there was no actual footage of you taking the drug and all you did was clicked or pressed the shortcut button to consume the drug, you will get MA15++ Fallout 3.
Not only it did get banned in Australia.
You might have guessed it was also banned in Japan due to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki incident during World War 2.
Harmless data game, Football Manager 2005 was banned from China for recognizing Tibet as an independent country. This is very weird... can someone kindly explain to me why they ban it because of recognizing Tibet as an independent country?
What about Command Conquer Generals? They do portray China as a neutral being...
Unfortunately, yes, they joined the club as well... "smearing the image of China and the Chinese army"........ Does it mean they are all the way evil? or all the way good?
How bout Nazis reference game? Do they get banned in Germany? Yes. They did.
Wolfenstein 3D was banned.
FATALITY! Mortal Combat was also banned for explicit violence in Germany. Although there no Nazi reference. Just for shattering a frozen enemy earns you a title of a violent game.
We have Europeans, Chinese, Japanese.... How bout Islamic country like Saudi? Yes they banned Pokemon. I am serious, no joke, the reason they gave because it is promoting Zionism and gambling." But not the game, just the trading card though. I don't see the difference maybe because i didn't play the game. Just Saudi though. And I have no idea how can it be related to Zionism because Japan invented Pokemon? Or am I wrong? Maybe I am wrong.
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare will never be seen in the shelves of Arab Saudi too. Because of a Al-Asad pulling trigger to President Fulani's head I suppose?
That's all for now. Hope it entertains ya. If you guys are wonderin'.
Resident evil 5 is missing from the list. It has tons of gory scenes.
So does Metal Gear Solid.
Where is GTA? It is damn obvious that why the game is being banned I never state the obvious.
Where is WOW? IT HAS alot of explicit language directly or indirectly.
GAME ON!
