Anyway, did you even have the first L4D down there? If they aren't allowing L4D2 then I don't see how could they allow L4D(1).
And that's the reason so many of us are pissed off.
Yes, we had the first L4D down here. It got classification straight away.
Now, they're banning L4D2 because of 'new gore, shooting off limbs is more realistic, melee weapons cause more damage'..etc.
Bullshit.
If they were worried about gore like that, Fallout 3 & CoD5 would have been instabanned.
It just makes absolutely no sense.
As far as i can tell, between christmas last year and this year, a bunch of 60 year old dickhead nazi supporters must have come into power at our rating board, and decided that NO! kids shouldn't be allowed to use the internet or play violent video games, because it's OBVIOUSLY too violent for their young minds to comprehend.
Meanwhile, i'm watching MA15+ movies on TV, at 8:30PM, and SBS late at night. And watching the news.
What makes less sense is them bothering to do this, seeing as literally everyone over 13 i've met knows what a Proxy is, which destroys the internet filters use, and a good 60% of them know about Torrents. add in the fact that everyone knows how to order off ebay, and you have a big pile of bullshit which unnecessarily takes away sales from local retailers, and causes normal people to have to resort to other measures to obtain L4D2.
