Why does this surprise anyone? We're talking about a historically gory game, now with accurately modeled internal organs in all of the characters. _________________

Another one bites the dust. Importing games is cheaper anyway so they're not really giving us much else of a choice here. _________________

Hmm. I wonder if all this focus has made the board less likely to allow gore in MA15+?

Before all the nerds start e-raging, I think it's worth reinforcing that the classification system is generally impartial eg if a work does this, this or this it can only be given an R18+ rating. There's no sense of malice behind it and raging is just counter-productive.
Now if it was approved by the board and knocked back on appeal like Getting Up, then yes by all means disagree (though it did save us from a shitty game)
Remember, you are allowed to import RC material as long is it's not illegal.

actually thats incorrect you are not allowed to import RC items into any state/Territory and in W.A. (i believe this is the state could be another state) its illegal to posses RC items
BUT thankfully for the most part customs don't care/don't check so its easy to get RC games into the country. _________________
