Because it’s a zombie game – it’s supposed to be a zombie game. If the zombies start grooming you and dancing it is not a zombie game, it’s a Bollywood movie.

@ Gamoc
Why not?

Besides, ANY game which is plain shit as soon as you remove all the gore and violence is not worth a single cpu-cycle.

I dont think Australia really care about games being realistic.

Oh, right, dismemberment. So you expect the zombies to explode into dance when you shoot them, to bleed rainbows and to groom you if they get too close?

Hate to tell you this, but when you swing an axe at someone hard enough there’s a decent chance of decapitation or dismemberment.

How would one go about creating a tasteful zombie infection shooter anyway?

What the hell is tasteful in this context? Sitting down with each zombie individually and having a game of chess over some brandy and a cigar, and if you lose you agree to let the zombie have your brain?

How is it tasteless, exactly?

We all know that there is no R18+ for games in Australia.
But this doesn’t make Valve less greedy or the game less tasteless.

They wanted the MA15+ in Australia so badly because there is no R18+ for games here. Any game that doesn’t make the MA15+ cut off gets banned.

Quiiick: Course it is. Of course.

Sorry, too much sarcasm, it formed a precipate – must go shower.

So basically they’ll release the German version in Australia now.

Valve would do anything to increase sales.
L4D is a tasteless game aimed at 13-15 year-olds. That’s why they want the 15+ rating in Australia so badly.

I wouldn’t bother editing games for Australia if it was up to me.

Not enough gamers there for it to be worthwhile.

Sounds like a sensible decision given that Australia is a nation populated by chavs.

That sucks big time.

I remember when code veronica came out on my dreamcast, and when i got the shotgun i realised you couldn’t blow any heads or legs off, it was a real bummer, because thats all i wanted to do when i was teenager

Sounds like the UK retailers are going to be selling quite a few copies to OZ now.
