A GAME IS A FCKN GAME. Get it through your heads,

PATHETIC EXTREMELY PATHETIC

When will these OFLC idiots move into the 21st century.

Sheesh…

I mean John Howard is a fat cry baby, who is most likely going to lose this up comming election. Why ban a game that wont affect them? Oh yeah lets send aussies over to get blown up in Iraq. Yet when aussies over here wanna play a computer game which is almost the same if not worst its banned.

Ban the game?
Ban our soldiers from fighting over there than.

We lose in game and think -Oh well lets restart- Aussies in Iraq get shot, its game over.

Theres more things out there in the real world that are more dangerous yet they pick on a defenseless game.

My opinion, dont ban it. Its our choice what we eat, watch, do, But not what we can play? Geez its less important than watching Saw/Hostel they are extremely graphic. Yet they tell us “You cant play a game that shoots people and their leg falls off” =(!

Ps Torrents for the world?!~!

Don’t whinge about the OFLC whinge to your state and federal government.

OFLC: You cant stop us downloading, importing, burning, p2ping…one way or another we can get any game we desire.

I laugh at their ignorance towards the ever increasing tech-savvy cult manifesting within Australia.

SoF appears to target a similar demographic to what slasher or horror/comedy films are aimed at and such films often attract (R) ratings.

A significant portion of Australian game players are adults who grew up with video games (myself included) and the OFLC allows (R) rated film content. As such there is no valid reason why (R) rated games are banned in Australia.

Banning games because they fall on the wrong side of (M15+) will also needlessly promote piracy.

The arguement, or excuse, that interactivity of games makes the player an active participant in on screen violence while movie viewers are passive (hence are allowed more violent content) is mute.

What matters is people’s emotional involvement with what they see on screen – game players and film viewers alike. Watching and cheering on a ‘hero’ slicing through enemies in a film constitutes emotional involvement just as seeing one’s hero character clock up a hundred kills in a FPS.

Let’s check the cinemas, shall we?

Rambo 4 – wont be banned
Hostel: Loads of blood and gore:Not banned
“Saw” movies: not banned

Australia is fast becoming the nanny state: no firearms, no firecrackers, no fireworks, no air rifles, ban trans fats, ban smoking, ban drinking, ban commercials that “might” be offensive to someone(damned if we know who..)

Why doesnt this country have an R rating so we ADULTS can play what we want without the government sticking its nose in?

Soon it will be illegal to buy a puppy ion a pet store.
