Vampire - The Masquerade Bloodlines - Censorship Fix

[dramon]

What do you mean it's censored? Are you supposed to see any nudity in the movie that pops up when you press new game?

How do you know it's censored? How do you know that the vampire's head suppose to fall down? Have you played any other version of the game exept UK version?

BECAUSE Activision told me so themselves. through 5 diff. emails we spoke about vampire - bloodlines censorship and that the fact that the us version is the only one not censored. This is because its the only version that activision was directly involved with.
1. Censored? whats censored? Ill tell you what. In the us version you can dismember anyone with the katana, anywhere!
2.In the UK/french/german you can only gib zombies and those weird ass 2 legged things.
3.and of course the decapitation during the first intro.

William Penn from Activision assured me that these were not glitches/errors to be fixed in patches but the results of our censorship laws.

So on that note go and order vampire - bloodlines from somewhere in USA.
I know I bloody well will.

William penn from activision said its official.

Vampire bloodlines is censored UK/german/french.

However the US version is fully uncut.

head does fall of at start, you can dismember anyone with swords and axes..
anyone? yep. even cops!!

now you know

Well I for one will be returning my version to the shop on monday! I will be letting them know I paid good money for the whole game not 3/4's of it!! I was pi***d off enough when I found out GTA Vice City had been edited or cut down for the Australian version! Its rediculous that adults can not buy Uncut games!

I'm a Bloodlines player here in the US. (I didn't vote for Bush. I don't understand how anyone could. I think it was the Ventrue.) Anyway, our version seems almost as strict as some of yours.

1. In our version of the game, the PC can attack police and innocents—but at the cost of the PC’s Humanity. And, of course, we still can’t attack anyone in Elysium.

2. There's some foul language in the dialogue, ranging from "damn" to "f*ck".

3. There's no nudity (that is, you can’t see women’s nipples or the genitals of either sex).

4. There's blood and the PC can dismember some critters--but not Kindred or Kine.

5. In the original release of the US version, we could see the PC’s sire being decapitated in the introduction; however, with the release of the 1.2 patch, the shot cuts-away just as the Sheriff’s sword comes down.

So, even our version is slightly censored--allbeit, self-censorship.
