Australian ratings board re-reviews Saints Row IV, still bans it
Tough crowd
After further review by the Australian Classification Review Board... 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Saints Row IV is still banned from sale or advertisement in Australia, reports. Publisher Deep Silver asked the board to reconsider its decision to refuse classification to the game in June, in effect banning the game fr♏om Australian retail.
According to the board's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:original statement, it took issue with "interactive, visual depictions of implied sexual violence which are not justified by context. In addition, the game includes elements of illic🎀it or proscribed drug use related to incentives or rewards. Such depictions are prohibited by the computer games guidelines."
Said issues apparently pertain to the game's Rectifier☂ anal probe weapon, and a side-mission in which characters ingest alien narcotics to obtain sweet, sweet super powers.
Developer Volition is already at work on a version of the game which omits these offending elements, so it may just be a matter of time until the Saints are deemed acceptable for🎶 Australia. On the other hand, American and European ratings boards have dubbed it perfectly fine for sale on August 20 and August 23, respectively.
