Low violence version

[Richard_B.]

I just checked and can say:
No, Mr. LeopoldStoch, you are not blind, sir!

means:
a) not rated yet
b) rated, but lazy guys running that website

The site was updated some minutes ago, so I'd go for "not rated yet".

I used the Contact formula on their website to try to get some answers concerning the rating process of HoS. For the interested, here is the text:

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

Maybe you guys could get a trustworthy nz friend to gift you it if you have one.

Excuse my strong language but why WHAT THE FUNCKING HELL do you offer the GERMAN customers a ****ING CENSORED Version over STEAM?

Why can't we get the game UNCUT over STEAM?
All these pointless jabbering about USK won't give us a rating for the UNCUT game.

**** of it!

You guys released RO1 on STEAM and it was uncut, after a while you reduced the gore and the WWII relatedpictures in the game.

That's not the game I bought.

With Killing Floor you gave us the option to get it UNCUT while buying it within a timelimit and now BULLL****!


I want to pre-order it, I want the Beta access and the additional (digital) content but I won't buy a CUT game.


As long as it isn't released in germany it can't get "indiziert" and as long as it isn't "indiziert" it can't be "beschlagnahmt"/banned!



GO AND DO SOMETHING FOR YOUR GERMAN CUSTOMERS.



I bet if I wait until the release and import it via UK or whatever YOU WILL CUT IT although I bought it UNCUT!



WHY CAN'T WE GET IT UNCUT WHEN WE PRE-ORDER IT and after release you just get the CUT VERSION!



Don't act like you understand the german youth protection system...in that case you wouldn't just offer the CUT version to us!


Once again sorry for my strong language but I'm really pissed of the game is my personal highlight this year...

No, that's why we are asking for it.
Until now, we do not even know IF there are changes (remember: Brothers in Arms also had dismemberment and got rated USK18).

I got an answer for my question (here):

Sehr geehrter Herr Kaupe,

Wow I really was just about to buy the game..
I just noticed that Red Orchestra 1 is USK 16 here..
Maybe when RO2HOS is USK 18 they wont cut so many things out?
Well I guess they will cut out any nationalsocialism sign.

 

[Sneaky]

Meh. Some more information from Tripwire about this would be nice - they ought to know.

I'd also like to avoid buying the low violence version, as it's completely unnecessary under German law. Hell, this is digital distribution. Could they not offer a "cut" version for the USK-16 or whatever rating an an "uncut" version for those 18+ without incurring much costs?

 

[Mr Milkman]

Hopefully we can find out about the Australian rating for the game soon. I want to pre-order, but I def don't want to buy a censored game....

 

[Mr Milkman]

What's this "Low Violence Version" crap?!! I want the ULTRA VIOLENT VERSION! please?

 

[oksftw]

buy in uk or uncut country or keystore, then use vpn to activate then its uncut, simple as that really

 

[DerDree]

...and then Steam will ban your account^^
Using a VPN is against the Steam rules. But if you know someone who can gift you a non-german or non-australian version of the game you can take this gift without any VPN and own the uncut version.

You'd really not buy the game based on it not having detachable limbs?

Come off it..

 

[Freezy]

after Gears of War 3 got through USK with a 18+ rating there is hope the same will happen for RO 2. *fingerscrossed*

 

[Krimdor]

Yeah, we only can hope... I don't want to buy a cut version but I don't have anyone, yet to gift it to me, and I don't trust those pseudo-gifter-sites. :/

 

[¦•••SHERIFA•••¦]

Yeah, that's why people have vouches to be trusted.

 

[SergeantSalty]

In germany steam games are always the cut version.
I have the same problem.
But I guess there will be a uncut patch.

I don't know if it works but if you have a friend in the U.S.A, UK or any other uncut land, ask him to send the game to you're steam account as a gift.
The product key is important.

It works, yup. But not only from the US - all over the world countries, who're NOT: DE or AU .

@Krimdor: That's why people have vouches. More vouches = more legitimness .

 

[LeopoldStotch]

I just pray to all the gods that ever were that TWI will not cave in to USK's wacky demands.
It's really all on them, it's their decision whether they want to cut the game or not.
Go for the 18+ rating. It only increases your sales, that has been proven.

 

[Pig]

18+ doesn't mean its uncut
