Austrailia's new rating system OBLITERATES SOTC's cover

Wow man, this is so damned ugly. :lol:

First off, it has an ugly rating bar that changes colors depending on what the game is rated, and its really friggin huge! Second its got a review on the cover! Thats always a guaranteed cover no-no as well. I feel bad for Austraila and their new rating system right now.

 

Damn, that ratings note is so big the wanderer is going to mistake it for a colossus and stab it...

 

Yet the fanatical politicians here want warning labels that take up half the cover, have flashing neon lights, scream at parents that try to buy it for their children, and give electric shocks to anyone underage who gets within a 5 foot radius of the game.

Sigh...

 

If it means Jack Thompson will shut up...

 

Hmmm if you are so mad about it, then move to Denmark. Since I think I have said it before, here in this lovely country, I think the only censored thing that went censored , it was Kill Bill , and well Kill Bill is quite special, because of the different cuts, and also the censoring thing, since if I remember correctly, the Asian version fo that film, was the most uncensored version. Hmm well [size=-1]http://www.imdb.com/[/size][size=-1] has a big feature on that movie (he he funny colour )

The Review, Assuming its the same as the European version, is on a sticker so can be removed. On a sidenote, the PAL packaging is really, really nice.

 

atleast the cover isnt as shitty as the us version.

 

Meh, it doesn't look as bad as all Platinum/Player's Choice titles in Europe though. The whole cover is reduced by 50% and surrounded by ugly silver/green.

 

Talking of ratings, Eko's Graffiti game got banned in Australia, yet games like GTA:SA get a MA15 rating even though it contains prostitutes, murder, theft, violence and vandalism.

Inconsistency at its finest :thumbsup:

 

Actually I like Australia's new rating because now I can actually see what the game is rated! Unlike ESRBs rating where its very hard to locate the rating.

 

You need glasses then :110:

 

I dunno, I think some of these guys are grasping for excuses to think everything non-US is superior.

Case in point

Um, they, for the most part, are THE FUCKING SAME. This version has birds at the top and an ugly label as apposed to this.



I just knew someone would say that. On this board, it is just so predictable, I've come to accept it. Which I hate accepting with a passion as well. :banghead:

 

I dont know what is worst: the freakin big-ass size or the fact that the desing looks like something out of 1970!

Dude I dont see how the ESRB could be worst that these. At least here we got a smaller more stylish desing (but an update would be cool, the design is looking too mid-90s already)

 

Who exactly are you referring to? That Wapanese Eva-01, Madhatter, or me?

 

None, I meant the original topic, the aussie ratings...

 

Can someone please point out the rating logo on the australian game as i cant quite see it (^_^)

 

Somehow this seems appropriate (modified quote from 'Family Guy'):

"Austrailia's new game rating system killed my father...and raped my mother."

 

Nice one, which episode is it?

Hey, remember the one with mel gibson?: "Yeah I'm making a movie about Peter Griffin, a warrior that fought the english to liberate england from the english":lol:

 

The episode where Peter was a representative for a tobacco company that took over the old toy company after Mr. Weed died.

 

"Cigarettes killed my father...and raped my mother."

Thats why we shouldnt smoke. :nod:
