If you want the uncensored version, get the cracked version on PC or look it up on YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gibbo_0113 Posted June 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2016 I dont know why they bother with censoring games anyway. Its not like its going to stop us from seeing it when we have the internet. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like its going to stop us from seeing it when we have the internet. They censor it because of the government. For example, Australia have very strict rules about what can and can't be seen. It's not the creators WANTING to censor it, it is because they HAVE TO censor it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the creators WANTING to censor it, it is because they HAVE TO censor it. It's Ubisoft's fault. They'd only have to censor it for the German market but they decided to censor it for all of Europe because that was easier with the physical releases. Even then it was just a precaution, nobody forced them to. Really bummed with the news that the PS4 version is still censored. It's really bullshit since a bit late on in the game relies on you having learned something in one of the bits that was cut.

It's the countries in which the game has to be classified in. As I said, to get a rating in Australia, it needed to be censored. If there was no censor, then it wouldn't get a classification from the classification board, meaning it couldn't be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is shit when it isn't needed in all the countries in that region. They can release different versions for each part of the region too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z1MZUM Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 It's nice to have a U.S account, I would have never played manhunt again without it, I say again because I have a legit Australian PS2 copy. Since I haven't played stick of truth before, it will be U.S version for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they can but if you look on the other versions you will see different screens at different points where things have been censored. For example: The UK version has Big Ben and saying "Sorry England..." etc. Whilst Australia has that same scene (and another one) with a Koala saying "Sorry Australia..." So, they did make different versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMason Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) The PC version is uncensored worldwide btw. Only some releases of the console version are censored. EDIT: My bad: Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Germany, Austria, and Taiwan are the regions with censoring on all formats, while it's selective on others for the console version.

All of Europe should have the same one: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cb/South_Park_The_Stick_of_Truth_Euro_Censor.jpg Of course they made different versions for EU and Australia, those are two different regions. We're talking about the Europe region. For Europe, only Germany was iffy (nobody from Germany forced Ubisoft to do anything, they did this pre-emptive). Ubisoft decided to censor the whole region instead of just Germany, so they'd only have to ship one version of the game to Europe. So yeah, totally Ubisoft's fault in Europe's case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, they did make different versions. Are you sure they did actually make different versions and they didn't just look at your PS3's language setting or something? AFAIK the same disc on PS3 will automatically be in a German when you use a PS3 set to German language, just like it will be in English when English language is selected. This obviously doesn't work if you only got the English language on the disc or download. Never heard of the Big Ben one.

Norway is not part of EU, just saying, and I bet I would get the same message. And Germany is pretty known for censorship, though so is England.

I used "EU" as short for Europe, not as the European Union :-) Yeah both England and Germany are heavy censors but Ubisoft did not even wait for a verdict, nor did they give the rest of Europe a normal uncensored version. What was cencored wasn't even something that had to go, it was an age rating game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMDE Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 That wouldn't be the case cause English is my countries native language too, you know There's definitely info on your PSN account about it being Australian, but it might be they went ahead and actually added a different picture for each version, I can definitely be wrong about it, and that'd be pretty lame. Just so you know, system settings do differentiate between English languages, like UK and USA. http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/settings/systemlanguage.html I assume Australia uses UK.

Undead Wolf Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I was hoping the dumb censoring would be removed for the PS4 version, so it sucks that it isn't. I can't really be bothered to jump through all the loop holes to get an uncensored PS4 copy on my UK account. I'd like to play these games, but stuff like this just makes me lose interest.

savageamusement Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I imported the US version of the stick of truth on PS3 to avoid the censorship applied too the UK release, I don't mind getting the censored PS4 version as I at least have the uncut version at my disposal - I do however worry if the fractured but whole may be subjected to any censorship too though? At least it was widely reported that the EU would receive a censored version before launch so fingers crossed if Ubisoft do decide to play silly buggers and make any cuts to the sequel they should let us know upfront again so we can make an informed choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that would be because I am Australian ahahah. Yes, Australia does use English (UK) but, going back to the different picture: i don't think so - just EU and AU as seen by this article http://www.kotaku.com.au/2014/03/our-censored-south-park-the-stick-of-truth-is-mighty-similar-to-europes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSX_Trepie Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Just get it on the US store like I did. I'd rather play the game as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
