whats it like being a gamer in a place like austrailia or some arab country with their draconian laws and a government that bans everything? do you have to import a lot? what kind of games do they even allow over there? it also must suck because even when you do get stuff released there, its usually much later than when we get it. I mean the wii u has been out for 2 weeks in north america and its still not out yet in austrailia (or europe or japan for that matter)

must suck.

I am not Australian, nor am I in Australia. I've been there a few times. It's awesome man, a great country.

You might have seen that viral vid of the racist white guy on the bus? Not all Aussies are like that, most are pretty cool.

OT - they accept R18 games now.

Hardly anything gets banned here. The only real annoying thing about being a gamer in Australia is the price of games, but even that's not a huge deal thanks to Steam sales. And usually stuff comes out around the same time as the US.

Yeeeaaaah What's the point of this thread ? R Rated Games are now coming out and before it was never a issue only a very handful of games have been Banned, only thing that sucks is Console Prices, with games Steam/Online Stores provide such cheap options.

I remember living in Saudi Arabia you could get any game you wanted(as long as it wasn't a physical copy for PC since that's not big there), even the DOA volleyball spinoffs which I found surprising. Unless it's changed these past 2 years, then it should be fine...Bahrain even more so

Well, Nature decided to put all the dangerous creatures in Australia. Then the British decided to contribute to the deadly inhabitants with all the criminals from the Empire :P

Maybe as a gamer... I can't say. When I was there, though, it was 2/3 women. That more than makes up for the game situation, unless you are a woman, then it sucks twice.

On the racist white guy issue, the target was a young French woman who is also white. Her name is Fanny Desaintjores.

Yes, you're right. Xenophobic is a better word in this case. I just lazily used the common parlance namesake.

Apart from that stupid tirade on the bus, if people were unfamiliar with Australian culture, they would think the whole country is racist. But they call each other Abos, Wogs, even Skips etc, basically everything the States and Continental Europe have been trying to scrub out of their own cultures. What makes it "worse" is that Aussies wear their racism with pride because of global political correctness.

There are a few gaming related annoyances for Australians. However, when you come from a country where it's easier to obtain a fully automatic rifle than a Kinder Surprise, you lose the right to make fun of another country's laws.

so much ignorance.. yes, it totally sucks getting paid double the minimum wage of the states whilst still getting games for just over half RRP.
