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.
