we're pleased to report that Rockstar's next title Bully has passed classification in Australia. The game was awarded a Mature (M) rating, for moderate themes, violence and sexual references. Before being refused classification, the maximum rating a video game can receive in Australia is MA15+ so Bully seems to be flying well under the radar.
note- M does not mean its Mature in other countries, Australia has a long history of rating the games harshly...

oh yes!!! it's coming out in aus and if were gonna get it, and were strict as, then every one else will get it !! screw u jack thompson we win!!
-
WOOP!! thats awesome news! nice find man!!
-
im glad
i hope this game doesnt get banned anywhere
bcause there really isnt nothing that bad in it
-
Lol, i guess if if the strictess country on games doesnt ban it, then no were else will!!
-
oh ididnt know australia was the strictest
that sucks for you guys
-
Yer, they ban everything, bulletproof, resevior dawgs too.
-
Australia are mean with games.....They either Ban it or Tell the Games companys to re-do it :P
But its good news if Aus can have it So can the world...... :D
-
lol yer but not this time!!! were getting the original aswell
-
i take it that yall didnt get GTA
-
Of cause we got GTA.. it was only MA15+.. I'm not sure anymore cause they upped it to R or something didnt they? Dunno.. anyway that was months and months later so everyone that WANTED it actually got it.
And Australia isnt harsh on rating games.. people keep on saying that for some reason.. its because we dont have an R classification. The only games that get banned are the ones that cant be rated.. or are consider WAAAY to violent - and this usually means Australia isnt the only one to ban it.. NZ, and UK usually do before Australia does.
With some exceptions of cause.. but its not a harsh system.
-
Hey , does every one think we'll get scarface then? and i still cant wait!!
-
Dunno.. sounds pretty violent and.. well.. you sell drugs lol So I dunno - it probebly will get banned. If anything Jack should be bitchin over that game rather then Bully.. Bully's nothing compared to Scarface or Reservoir Dogs! Its cause its Rockstar.. I think hes got something against them..
-
Reservoir Dogs is more bloody and I have no problem with the fact Aus banned it But :roll:
Scarface is less gruesome but the themes of sex,violence and woman + The naughty Lanuage [well it is scarface lol] might put it to being banned....I hope not as its a great game and should be enjoyed by everyone...
Compare it with how GTA SA was handled in Aus?
-
im glad I'm free since I live in britain, you can't even raise your hand in protest in aussieland without them chopping it off so you can't play a video game or hold a gun.
-
Hey, this should of been made an anouncments lol.
-
Hey, this should of been made an anouncments lol.
It was...........its now in the Facts on Bully topic as info, nothin more nothin less :wink:
-
Bully is banned in Brazil. :'(
-
Yeah, I know. I'm glad I don't live in Brazil. I'd have to hide the game in my house.
-
In your underground lair ?
-
Sure, let's go with that....
-
Every guy needs a hide-out.....It's like a requirement.
-
I have one, but it needs serious cleening up. I haven't used the space in a long time. I have sort of this "attic" above my garage, but the ceiling is flat on one part and its tall enough that it acts almost like a second floor. It gets fucking hot up there in the summer though. Its been close to 100' the past week so I haven't even been tempted to go up there.
-
My secret hideout is in my basement but that doesn't work so great with xbox live because my connection lags and it kind of Pisces me off.
-
I make a fort with blankets and call it the batcave.
The then dog plows into it, because he misses me.
-
That's neat.....I usta do that as a kid, make forts outta blankets and such...later built them out in the country & woods with my now long-lost friends.
Never did find a cave, that would have been even better.
-
Haha, it must sound so silly, but I have a couch in my room and I have a few quilts. I'll move the couch and drape one quilt over the back side of it and lay the other part on the bed. If it needs to be 'held down' I'll use some textbooks. Then I lay another quilt on the floor and lay underneath with some pillows. Something about the small space that's comforting. Maybe because it's warm and womblike? :P
Regardless, good thing I'm not claustrophobic.
-
I think it has something to do with feeling safe in an unsafe world.
-
Haha, or maybe I just like suffocating spaces?
I remember when I slept over my friend's house a few weeks ago, they took pictures of how I sleep. Apparently, I completely cover myself (head to toe), and sort of cross my arms over my head under the blanket. They said it resembled a body in the morgue and they were creeped out.
I think I was just cold.
-
I can't stand being in small spaces, I tend to panic. When I was 5 I used to make tents by draping a blanket over the dining room chairs, then when I was a little older I draped a blue tarp over a jungle-gym in my yard.
Now I just have that attic space.
-
darn. Going from a playground equipment and sheets to a hot and smelly attic must be a drag.
-
Yeah, what the hell happened to the Jungle Gym ?
-
The jungle gym is still there, but it wasn't a regular one, I just called it that for lack of a better word. It was this play thing that had 4 sides, basically posts with ladder rungs acting as the "walls". Then there was a slide that came out one side and a some monkey bars going out the other side with swings hanging from it. In the "box" part of it I used to place wood planks across the rungs to make a make-shif second floor. Then I would throw a tarp over the top and make a tent of sorts.
The attic isn't too bad. It gets hot in the summer because I live in an old house with virtually no insulation. It's a good sized room though, and like I said, its a large attic, practically a second floor above the garage.
-
Well, now that it's gonna return to more normal temps in Mass, you should fix it up and make it your "Lair".....After all, where are you gonna bring your dates ? Motels are expensive.
-
lol, I don't think that place is going to impress dates. It might impress the guys though, I even have a mini fridge up there. I really do need to clean it up. Like any attic we always store things up there.
-
Ok, not dates then.....How about Hookers ?
-
Hookers? What kind of a guy do I look like to you? :)
-
Hookers don't care about the decor. They just care about getting the deed done with, their money and gtfo.
-
Right....So Mike's attic space would be just perfect for them.
-
Or my Jenkem lab, especially if they like shit, fire, and trippin'
-
^I can promise you guys that my attic space will never be used as a "hooker-hang-out" or any type of lab.
-
Aww, that's too bad......Just think of how popular you could've been....
-
I never want to be popular with prostitutes....sorry.
-
I just saw an animated..."Cloudy With The Chance Of Meatballs"....The kid had his huge lab up in his tree in the backyard......
-
A meth lab? Haha, no I'm kidding, that wouln't be a great kids movie.
-
I used to want to be a mad scientist when I was little. Everyone thought it was cute. They even got me a little scientist set thingy with test tubes and whatever.
I don't remember what the hell I mixed, but I left it in the test tube overnight and it wound up corroding the plastic or warping it, I forget.
My parents threw it away after that. :(
-
When I was a kid, I had one of those big Chem sets. (This was before I discovered I hated Chemistry). I mixed all sorts of shit together, but never blew anything up. So, I sorta lost interest.
-
I didn't blow anything up. I just mixed something or another that screwed with plastic. See, the set came with safe 'chemicals' but I got bored with the book's recipes and tried mixing my own.
I was actually told I was lucky I didn't inhale chlorine or something.
-
Or make mustard gas by accident....I think kids have actually done that by accident, like in Joe Dirt! ;)
-
I make various firecrackers and IEDs in my chem labs, including dry ice bomb, flashbang, nail bomb, shaped charge(one of the funniest), and Jenkem.
-
Somehow I get the feeling that Jenkemator's Chem sets are just a teeny bit different form ours......
-
I also make non-explosive weapons like blowgun, hammer, stone knife, battery-acid filled squirt gun, slingshot, and many things.
