Left 4 Dead 2 - Censor Comparison L4D2

[slyjose101]

What's the point of taking out the gore from a zombie survival game? That's what makes it feel realistic and desperate.

[noneofthem]

It´s the same shit with Germany. Good to know we are not the only ones who get fucked.

[shadowking2214]

Hold up! Human centipede 2 was shown uncut in Australia but not in America? Yet l4d2 is censored there? What the hell?

[monkey4182]

When no one can get access to the game other fucking countries get, illegal bootlegs pop up and the price goes up. Developers don't get paid. eBay makes a lot of money. STUPID BITCH!!

[monkey4182]

Stupid god-damned ignorant government! Yes you Gillard you cocksucker! Don't you understand the concept of supply & demand? If this game is cut, then the demand of the un-cut game increases, therefore the demand follows shortly after. You actually fuel the black market & pirate communities by b

[TheDominic2711]

We got to kill Michael Atkinson. Thumbs Ups if you agree

[Ionicazza]

Fuck you gillard

[legocontrollerjr]

by 0:35 all i thought in my head was that i love america. this is why i am proud to be an american

[Clockcraftian]

@Airedar *Disappear Its Disappear please learn to spell Infact I know its a real word, just use a better word

[ripstickish]

Australia is still awesome!!!!!

[CallumRoyCarmicheal]

if ur kid wants a zombie game go to australia :DD

[EF3LIO]

WOW some of you are the biggest dumb fucks... It was never up to the Australian gaming community whether it be censored or not.... We aren't the classification board.. -_-

The good thing for us now is the R18+ classification on games is finally being introduced in January 2013, which means no more games being banned / refused classification and NO MORE CENSORSHIP!

But since L4D, the classification board has been more lenient on games as we can see with Dead Island still being released here.

[thekyozo43]

@EF3LIO But ... but the world ends before then. UMADBRO?

[EF3LIO]

@thekyozo43

Hah yeahhh, that's if you believe it will end. I'm not gonna worry just because some calendar stops there..

But if it did, missing out on an R18+ classification on games would be the least of my worries

[thekyozo43]

@EF3LIO Hahaha quite true. It's like a meteor's coming thrashing towards earth, and we're all like "OMG NO WE DIDN'T GET R18+ RATING FUU" :P

And no, I don't believe it will end ;)

[EF3LIO]

@thekyozo43 Haha yeah, I just don't see why this one's more believable than the other 10 million claims of the world ending on a certain year or date which we've already passed.. Nah we'll be fine, if not then i'll reply to this comment again saying how wrong I was.. but that's not gonna happen ;)

[thekyozo43]

@EF3LIO obviously it's not going to happen, because you will have been dead already ;)

[ForSureUJelly]

I think I'm missing something.. It all looks the same to me. Can someone respond to me with times that it's censored?

[ForSureUJelly]

@ForSureUJelly Oh wait, is it at 0:21 where the body just kind of disappears?

[EF3LIO]

@ForSureUJelly Shutuppppp you blind kid..

[ForSureUJelly]

@EF3LIO I'm clearly not blind due to the fact that I'm currently typing to you and on my computer, but if you insist.

[Airedar]

@ForSureUJelly In the censored version, there is no gore, little blood, no splatter on the screen, and bodies dissipate really quickly.

[jpdidit]

I was going to get this game with my 50% off coupon, but I saw the words "low violence version". I'll be damned if I'm going to be wasting my money on a watered-down game because my idiot government thinks I'm incapable of making rational decisions on what I watch. The over-zealous parents ought to police their own children, not responsible adults.

[DnsssChocolate]

did you enjoy playing cencored??

[MrReaper921]

Our country is a fucking nanny state. How dare those fucking politicians tell adults of this country what games we can and cannot play.

[ausportydeem]

And you Americans complain about capitalism...

I'm buying everything from the US, and even with the postage I'm saving up to 70%

[Bloosjen]

so people say that "Australian's are pussies"

yeah... because we Australians TOTALLY just called up our government and said "THAT'S ALOT OF FUCKING BLOOD! HELP, I CAN ALREADY FEEL MYSELF TURNING INTO A SERIAL KILLER!"

[AwwShitNigguh111]

@Bloosjen pussy

[jjhighasfucK]

damn.... it makes l4d look like less of a game...

[Kesonjeta]

Its not australia's fault, it was the government, I can handle decapitation and gore but for some reason, some people seem to think they know what I need. Luckly the R18+ rating is finally introduced, so the government can shove thier censorship up their ass :)

[OneShroomTooMany]

"Where did all the bodies go?" LOL

[kaycorey1]

Australians and Germans are pussys

[angelbay14]

0:35 I laughed so hard when I saw the comparison. Damn... :/

[guide3100]

oye porque desaparecen los cuerpos de los zombies eso no deveria pasar

[TJhoseph504]

Geez, australians are a bunch of pussies.

[omi43211234]

my fucking ears.

[Nexarianz]

My buddy has the censored version on an alternate account that I play when we Multi... I don't mind the lack of gore & corpses at all & i especially don't mind the higher FPS when the hoards come :P

[ThompsonDB]

That sucks Australia, the no violence against authority figures part was hilarious. Way to let your government condescend you. Ahmahgahd I can't handle too much fake blood I might puke, oh noes more blood might make me shoot policemen. C'mon really?

[AlmightyJesus]

same thing in germany

[WMan37]

Left 4 Dead 2: Rated T for Teen

[Horazio1987]

In Germany it is also Censored and this Sucks!

[DennisNguyen88]

thank god for Left 4 Uncut

[AvdP85]

Glad am Dutch! Have to whip off the blood of my face all the time and I love it!! :D

[tbopne]

honestly 1:23 looks like how it is in real life..0:39 is just to much.

[tylerd324]

that game sucked ass anyway

[sucazza]

@tylerd324

quote!

[CneeKrunch]

Who gives a shit you live in Australia. Its so beautiful. Why would you want to play video games when you could be doing something bad ass in real life.

[Impulse94z]

@CneeKrunch Lol you'd be surprised how shit it is lol

[hardbanger11]

They censored this but not dead island, which is much gorier. BS

[Djmandodo]

I'd rather play the censured version as I can actually see what's going on

[Fagottron]

Welcome to Australia, where you pay 110% mark-up for a game that's 50% censored.

[cohanxcore]

@Fagottron pogo :D

[cohanxcore]

@cohanxcore So true but

[Astroghouls]

@Fagottron or you can just buy off ebay.

[DennisNguyen88]

@Fagottron ahhh it's fagottron!

[criuth]

@Fagottron Welcome to Australia, where imported cars cost upto 300%+ more, and even Holden Commodore SS made in Aussie land is approximately 8000 dollars cheaper in US. :D THAT's with aussie dollar stronger than US dollar... gotta love our politicians.

[LD1E60]

Damn it sucks to live in continents like Europe here in America I dont think any game is censored or banned in any country

[MrMixer108]

What I don't get is in Dead Island you can cut any part of a zombie's body off just like in this game, yet it was still released here uncensored.

[18Tschegga18]

@MrMixer108 Seriously? In Germany that game is completely forbidden.

[jazazzaza]

@MrMixer108 the system here is completely retarded

[MrMixer108]

@jazazzaza Yes. Yes it is.

[MaNuelKaaS]

qe violento ala vergaaa, el dead island es menos violento porqe ay menos zombiess !!!!!!

[legoguy20]

They dont censor the first one but they censor the second one? Thats bullshit

[victoriacrl]

I hate the sensored version. Why censor something that's MEANT to be bloody?

[TechInquisitor96]

I wonder if you Australians can kill cops in GTA or is against the law to play GTA.

[Callego3882]

@TechInquisitor96 over here (Australia) we have an uncensored gta4 that is only 15+, in some countries it's18+.

[TheSuperiorTurtle]

All the Aussies that care should en masse sue Michael Atkinson for ruining their childhood.

[livingzombie12]

thumbs up if you hate Michael Atkinson. (read description)

[EvilZombieMaster]

Damn our Australain governament. THE LIMBS DON'T EVEN FALL OFF!

[ItsMarvinAbel]

I pity the Australian. They have 50% less fun.

[MrRobinjam]

@ItsMarvinAbel At least the game runs 40% faster :P

Yeah, I know it's no consolation :(

[PainkillerCheesus]

Just like the german version.....fuck you germany. Why can't we just decide what we want to see?!

[Pain9889]

i can't believe one of their reasons for banning it was that they were called infected and that it means their humans with rabies that act violently so stupid. Zombies, infected are the same. Got a bunch of old cunts sitting their saying this is violent... well how about you hurry the fuck up with R18 classification.

[Pain9889]

has anyone successfully imported left 4 dead 2 on xbox 360 to get to australia

[ASilentTaurus]

I'm lucky the British one only has the Cover Changed :)

[SGTHECoDGAMER]

I got the unsce

[AATMBuggy3000]

i wish i was american now :(

[Pain9889]

@billyturner10 I know right dead island you can see guts and chop limbs off even when there dead and blood pisses out everywhere

[DEVISTATAAA]

They should just censor it, everyone hacks for it anyway!

[moo2thetube]

I got mine from the UK. the shipping cost is lower than from the US too

[billyturner10]

thts shit how did dead island get past the censor and left 4 dead 2 get fucking censored it's not even violence against humans there fucking ZOMBIES!!!!

[Asutsi99]

@TheImplodingsun Ah, okay. Thanks for answer.

[MuratArkin]

Isn't the game censored in Germany as well ? It was the case for Team Fortress 2.

[Rievoldt]

I'm Aussie and I just buy games from the UK, glad they have our backs otherwise Aussies would be stuck with all censored shit

[tetech12]

@Rievoldt

Lucky to get it through, it's a prohibited item.

[mrchapp12]

What the fuck???!!? im an american and i have the censored version wtf now im fucking pissed

[bj167100]

This game censored goes from rated M to rated T LOL

[lssykes82]

thats not number 2 because i have it and it l;ooks nothing lik dat

[TheL4dgamer]

@lssykes82 Yes, dumbass, this is "number 2." Maybe, you just aren't good enough to make it to this area.

[mrkickass956]

Can't Australiaians just order the real version online?

[randomuser309]

and this didnt happen for cod 5

[ExposedGamingPC]

@randomuser309 Dead island is worse, cod 5 is nothing

[kidinthai]

Wow... Surprised that I didn't realize L4D2 is this cruel while I'm playing...

[1xDARKSHADOWx1]

i was so excited for this game the i heard that it was gonna get censored in Australia -.- y must i live in Australia

[magohipnosis]

What If Australians download it on steam

[dylzolo]

@magohipnosis if we get it on steam it is the shit version we need to get it off other sites

[Danthious]

WOW! until I saw the uncut version, I didn't think blood was real!!!

[EpicMRPancake]

I. Hate. Our. Government. They are so strict and retarded.

[TheL4dgamer]

Well, Australia sucks....

[ExposedGamingPC]

@TheL4dgamer What because 1 game had it's gore reduced? You sir are a retard

[TheL4dgamer]

@ExposedGamingPC "Why? Is it because one game had its gore reduced? You, sir, are a retard." This is how your comment would look, if you weren't an illiterate prick. Make sure that YOU aren't the one being a retard before you call someone else one.

[ExposedGamingPC]

@TheL4dgamer You're calling our country bad because a game got censored. Think about things.

[TheL4dgamer]

@ExposedGamingPC It's not just me. Scroll the comments. Plenty of people from your country are pissed about it. It doesn't bother you at all that your country makes you play babyfied versions of games because they think you can't handle a little violence and gore?

[ExposedGamingPC]

@TheL4dgamer We have R18+ rating now so

[seminalis69]

@ExposedGamingPC Syndicate was just banned in Aus so. There is no actual R18+ rating, just some useless pollies talking about one.

[nightseifer]

some1 lemme know if there is a work around or mod to get uncut mode and allows for online play.

[Hanfgurkenhasser]

Same shit here in Germany. We receive cut games with the justification of "youth protection".

WTF! This game is for adults only, what the fuck is the sense of cutting a game being made for adults and saying "It's because of youth protection"? Youth shouldn't even be able to play it! (In theory)

Btw, thank you so much UK, got the game for a lower price than in Germany and it's fucking uncut, just as it belongs.

The Problem of Australia is the limit of 15+; they'd need 17 at least. Stoopid.

[fatassassin7]

Dont see a difference

[evvo123]

Wow, sucks to be Australian...

[wertlad1]

@evvo123 Not really dude, free health care

[evvo123]

@wertlad1 Ah but so do we! Well, we obviously pay taxes but you get the idea.

[TheImplodingsun]

@evvo123 no shit thats why i still play L4D1 instead of 2

[cyrus233able]

@evvo123 It really does......

[EpicFrenchDude]

@evvo123 All I do is just get a program to run it so it's uncensored.

[chileo1]

@evvo123 I fucking reckon D:

[MXSTEVEO153]

@evvo123 not anymore this year they are releasing 18+ games :D GORY

[legoguy20]

@evvo123 tell me about it :(

[Adamek1926]

Australian : ....boooriiing......

Original : FUUUUUCKKKK YEAAAAHHH BLOOOOD !!!

[Asutsi99]

Does every Australian have to play like this? I'm not australian myself, so I dno. If so, why? is it illegal, what the..?

[TheImplodingsun]

@Asutsi99 it's not illegal, they just don't sell the game uncensored. So if you what it uncensored you got to buy it online from US or UK

[andreas1458]

can someone tell me how i play htis game online pls?

[Ladisn]

i changed my files so i get the blood and gore and my brother did so as well but we cant join each other or create a game, can you tell me exactly how?

[MrTheNiss]

hacker

[Asutsi99]

@MrTheNiss Troll.

[DouglasCheesington]

FML

[jarrodfeng]

Australian censorship took away mortal kombat for us that is just not fair

[MeatBusiness]

looks lame lol

[lonewolfadam11]

94 people dont get the point of this video

[artilleryboy1]

i think its good that it was censored because we shouldnt think that these types of things are normal. In example when i was younger i would react badly to killing and blood but nowadays due to seeing so much violence and blood in movies and video games i think its normal and dont react accordingly. I like the censorship in australia.

[unknownninjaboi93]

@artilleryboy1 And yet Dead Island is in its full glory. The system is flawed.

[artilleryboy1]

@unknownninjaboi93 yeah. i know. I have the game and i think that it has more gore and more detail to the injuries of zombies than l4d2. Gonna trade it in for gta 5 if i can next year.

[rodan311]

@artilleryboy1 lol realy? why do you care if you think its not normal?being "desensitized" is absolutly meaningless.its not like you arn't going to report a crime.also if you do end up "desensitized"it probaly means you'll be able to stay calm in a violent situation and not panic.whats your worry? also,you like the censorship?so you hate freedom of speech?besides they already proved theres no link between violence and video games.

[artilleryboy1]

@rodan311 Wha...... Im talking about how I just dont like violence and i like the idea of censorship

[rodan311]

@artilleryboy1 if you like censorship then you hate freedom of speech.they have the right to make the game as god damn violent as they want and australia dosnt have the right to tell them to change it because they don't like it.and my other points are still valid.what do you think freedom of speech even means?.as much as i hate the WBC and think they should be shut up one way or another,i wouldnt try to pass a law keeping them from spewing hate

[artilleryboy1]

@rodan311 No offence but this isnt america. We dont have the problem or talk about with freedom of speech because here we can say whatever we want just as long as it isnt offensive. Censorship for videogames or movies is alright because you dont always want to see some of the disgusting bits in them. Its mainly for younger kids though. The problem is trying to limit them from seeing nudity, blood and gore and profanity.

[artilleryboy1]

@rodan311 continued. I do think that the australian government has the right to limit what comes into the country just as long as they have a good reason to do it. I don't know if its because of different cultures or what but a lot of parents in Australia that i know, (and they are decent people) like the idea of limiting access to stuff like gore from their children, friends and sometimes themselves.

[artilleryboy1]

@rodan311 Actually i have just thought about it and i agree with you. Once they start censoring stuff they wont stop. I was quite ignorant in not seeing your point and arguing about it with you. Since ive thought about it i dont like the idea of government censoring. This is because they are going to do it to the internet and that's going to annoy the shit out of me. They are taking away our rights and thank you for making that apparent to me.

[rodan311]

@artilleryboy1 im glad you understand

[Jacoob2323]

Hopefully they will release a patch next year seeing R18 FINALLY got approved :)

[ThePlanetRobloxia]

i personally use censored (but not austrailian i mean i change the setting to low) i just feel disturbed from the body parts breaking apart so i say it depends if you like body parts breaking off or you don't

[Jiterdomer]

Soldier: Your country did not prepare you for the level of VIOLENCE you will met on my battlefield! (dominates an Aussie Sniper)

[biomartinful]

it seems amateur of a child,it play with password umm so boring

[jkmchen1]

Gore and beautiful, the censored one just suck

[pixelatedgoodness]

I'm sure that we could always import them -_-

[jaymarasigan27]

does anyone still play this online on pc cos i want someone to play multiplayer with me because im about to get this game

[pinksquare]

@jaymarasigan27 It's still a very active community.

[jaymarasigan27]

@pinksquare cool

[ROCKSTAR3291]

I imported my Xbox version from the UK

[Jeruhmi]

I bought the censored version and honestly don't care.

[Zippollini]

And yet, we can rip off there face's in Dead Island...

[brenyboy26]

It's not rocket science why this game failed so epicly as a sequel in Australia, look at it, it's a pathetic excuse for a zombie game, limbs staying on, bodies disappearing, pathetic if you ask me. I'm Australian, and I've never had a problem with censorship laws until they killed LFD2, I loved LFD.

[tmboyd464]

this might be a stupid question but do they sell the Australian version in Anerica? cause after I bought my copy of L4D2 it looks like the Australian version that's shown in the video.

[redwOw3113]

I feel bad for australian gamers :/ missing out on such a great game...

[redwOw3113]

So if i get this right, L4D2 in Europe/Asia/Africa/America Rated M for Mature, and in Australia Rated K for Kids ? o_o... no wonder why australia got conquered so many times ... They are just sensitive souls :D

[KingOfElectricNinjas]

@redwOw3113 By so many times, you mean never?

[redwOw3113]

@KingOfElectricNinjas ... No...

[KingOfElectricNinjas]

@redwOw3113 Lrn2history.

[MadMikeAU]

@redwOw3113 (facepalm) Australia has NEVER been conquered. We have NEVER had a war fought on our soil! Civil or otherwise! American education system at its best right there, mate.

BTW: Its not over censorship, its just that we do not have a game rating over M, so the raters have no option. We do have R for movies, why we dont for games is beyond everyone with a brain. The bloke who got L4D2 banned got voted out anyway :)

[Glitch1500]

Lol @ all the racist comments :P It's not the Australian gamers, it's the government. I got uncut cos I got an American to gift it to me :D

[plzwork100]

Ya know Im not american and all... but... GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THERE AWSOME UNCENSERD GAMES KEEP IT UP GABEN

[Supreme1220]

Australia, if we have a problem, we ban it or tax it.

[DASH596]

More blood = More fun!!!

[Sablicious]

When the gore is so fantastical and ridiculous, it's asinine to censor a game.

There are a lot worse REALISTICALLY violent games that get through the AU censors. Hell, the news is more impacting because you know it's actually going on in real life!

Hypocrisy some...?

[KeezMoviesDotComLOL]

for pc you can get a software called left 4 uncut, which uncensors l4d2

[JayN1nj4]

Someone please respond, I downloaded the L4D 2 Demo on my 360 console, & to my disappointment, there's no blood/gore/splatter, & the bodies disappear after I kill them! I live in the US, & went to Options>Video>Gore [High] , but still, to no blood. I don't know if I want to buy this game if it doesn't some real zombie blood splattering action! I just want to know if only the demo is censored, or if I were to buy the game at a local gamestop, it would be un-cut?

[TheAndrewj96]

Australian version is for pussies.

[jaymarasigan27]

when you buy this game can u automatically play online multiplayer??



[shadowstalker98]

if that's the bloody reason, can someone hire assassins to rid michael atkinson and then have some other guy that actually agrees to step up? we don't want some arse stopping us from being able to game to the full potential a game can offer

[spank36]

when aus get 18+ will they remove the censorship?

[iDrumitup]

This is a rare moment when I'm proud of America.

[legomanic342]

I feel so sorry for austtralia
