Australia's videogame classification system has claimed its third victim for 2009 with Piranha Bytes developed role playing game, Risen, turned back at the border. The game joins the banned club alongside titles Sexy Poker and Necrovision, both of which were later passed fit for sale after resubmission with changes to their respective offending content. The Classification Board’s refusal to grant the game green light status at the maximum MA15+ rating due to its inappropriate sexual material and drug use now makes Risen illegal to, sell, rent, or promote down under.

This is just ridiculous , beaurocracy and hypocrisy seems to run rampat in Australia.....

Those prison colonials have become obsessed with reforming themselves haven't they? A few more centuries and maybe they might be at china's level of intelligence.

You mean the China that removed all bones from World of Warcraft?

Because that China doesn't seem so smart to me.

They banned Necrovision because it sucked.

bntest.

Wow, that is just too awesome.

Australia is dumb as shit. I don't need a map to tell me they're dumb as shit, I have anecdotal evidence. Besides which, everyone knows Australians are dumb as shit.

That game looks disturbingly like Two Worlds.

 

[Eyenixon]

More like Gothic you nimbusrod.
Piranha Bytes is developing it.

I wish America would ban bad games, good for you Australia!

 

[Eyenixon]

What the hell are you talking about? Risen isn't even out and its developer has a pretty damn good track record.

Crazy negro.

What story is this? Or are you just implying that Serifan is a normal Australian. What's even worse is to think that he is above average or gifted relative to the population.

Uh, I tried playing the last Gothic game and I preferred Two Worlds. At least TW had the 'so bad its funny' thing going for it, while Gothic 3 was full of WTF.

And don't call me no nimbusrod, you crotch goblin.

 

[Eyenixon]

So you played the only Gothic game that was pure shit and thought that was representative of Piranha Bytes's ability? Your reasoning makes no sense, go play Gothic I and II.

Well, I see what you're saying but it's important to note that the game, which was pure shit was PB's latest game. I don't even want to touch Gothic series again but if you vouch for them being excellent, I'll consider it.

I can't believe they wasted an opportunity to use a headline like "Risen has Fallen" or "Not So Erect Now".
