Well i just noticed that there was more Gamescore available for Resident evil 5, and immagine my surprise when i found out that once again the german Censorship has forbidden this content (VS MODE) in germany. Reasons for this have yet to be heard, but seriously, What reason can there be for them to forbid content for a game, that has not been censored in any way. There is no different from the german version, to any other found anywhere. Looking at it closely the censorship over here is weird anyway. Games like deadspace where the object of the game is to cut aliens litterally limb from limb comes by without censorship, as does resident evil 5, any many others, so why do they cut out on content. I totally encourage protection of youth from violent video games, dont get me wrong, i played one or another game before that time to, but its bassicly like everyone in this country is being punished for parents not watching what their kids are playing, and gamers in germany especially seem to have to take the heat for it, be being cheated out of fun and fufilling content and more. i also think the fault lies in video game stores, which just bassicly tossed any M rated game at anyone who would buy it a couple of years back, and now everyone goes haywire. There has also been school shootings, and every time one of them occurs, its blamed on video games, leaving out of the picture that the people who commited these crimes where not stable to begin with. I think the whole system needs to be reworked over here, to ensure strict controls on who gets the games, but not censor the content itself. On the other hand with the internet and all, its easier to get games than ever before. What would you guys do to to improve safety regulations for video games? i am curious.
Peace
