Our game banning isn't quite as bad as theirs.RaphaelsRedemption said:
Though hearing about 'How I Met Your Mother' playing at 9 in the morning there instead of in prime time like it does over here... Kind of makes me want to move to Germany...
Hmm, sounds just like how the Aussies have it. Well, look on the bright side mate, you have very beautiful landscapes with castles that Disney would envy, you have Oktoberfest, and I hear you have wonderful cuisine. :3
But to be more straight forward, you guys have been getting the short end of the stick ever since the end of World War II. :/

First, you're screwed because you're European.
There's some unwritten rule that all things good shall be delivered to Europe one or two months later than the rest of the world gets it.
Secondly, your country fuck itself with the censorship.
But hey, at least you're not Australian.
They get shat on.

Aside from the censorship laws (which, I admit, you have it really bad off), gamers from smaller European countries (particularly those in Eastern and Central Europe) suffer from the same problems as you do. Infact, the high game prices hurt us a lot more, beacuse our average income is worse than yours.hyperhammy said:
Also, aside from a few exceptions, you tend to receive all the high profile games for all platforms. We, however, sometimes have to import the games we want (this especially applies for handhelds, where our local retailers import nothing but shovelware -_-). And since we frequently do so from Germany of all places, we also have to make sure we don't accidentally get a German-only version.
Also, how about gaming contests? Whenever there is a game contest for Europeans, Germans are always on board. But beacuse of our stupid anti-gambling laws, we are always excluded no matter what. -_-
But I suppose even we have it better off than the Australians... =/
I didn't even know that was cencored. I just assumed the original version had these blackscreens as well...hyperhammy said:
That cencorship is riddiculous. And it's splashing over to us Austrians too. I bought Saints Row 2 here and had the exact same "we're sorry, you can't see this violence. But feel free to go back on the streets and kill some hookers when this is done".
I'd say that's partially due to dubbing. I don't even want that, infact, I think the Berlin studios sometimes just pick up random people from the streets to translate for them, but still I have to wait and watch it in German. Grr!
Okay, I go to the English cinema whenever I can, but they don't really have that many current films and of course no TV series.
Really? I've seen season 8 months ago on ORF 1. And I don't have a desire to watch season 9 due to the lack of JD. How can you make scubs without the main character?
I'm Austrian, so our ownly problem is that some politicians fancy German politics too much and that we get your badly dubbed sitcoms.
But fortunately we're too lazy and the parties hate each other too much to make any real changes.
Still, you're poor guys up there.
I don't expect much from the American National team anyways.hyperhammy said:
