Fallout 3 No Longer Banned in Germany - Report

ahhhhhh

holding ALL these freedom that im NOT sharing.

Glad to see Governments in other parts of the world are just as fucked up as the US Government.

When i bought orange box, it was epic. I got it as a gift from some site i think. Only now i know, that it was probably ment for german market, becouse i found (after i think 1-3 months of playing it) that my TF 2 version is censored. No blood and gore, but toys and green stuff. At first, i thought its the game design, but then i saw videos on youtube.

Quite funny really. Luckily, if you write on steam support that your version is censored, but your country is ok with uncut version, they will change it for you. And so i did. Good guy Gaben

Still, censoring stuff, whatever it is...not cool.

lol censorship is real in countries like Germany and Australia, you can't censor content in the US it just has to have warnings or be properly labled

Enjoy German gamers, Fallout 3 is one of best games ever, better than 4 in my view because the need not to babysit settlers every time you turn around distracting you from your adventuring. I think the Super mutants and ghouls looked better in 3 too. The redrawn ones for 4 look, well not as good. You could just look at them in 3 and know which one you were up against.

Germany, land of quick-fire escalating hypocrisy... one way or its totally opposite

...so much for German efficiency.

When I lived there, I just imported stuff anyway so...

You've gotta watch the Germans though, they'll invade Poland at the drop of a hat given the opportunity!

You could still import it, though.

"launched in Germany edited to show less violence" Nice point there, Eddie. Most websites didn't mention that at all.

thats kinda sad, fallout 3 is still one of the best games for replay-ability. I cannot tell people how many times i played that game with some type of ridiculous handicap i created, trying to play the game with just the rock-it launcher or deathclaw gauntlet is some of the most fun iv played.

I didnt knew it was banned. I bought the game on Amazon and all of DLC over the XBL marketplace.

All i know is that in the german version you couldnt rip appart the extremities(arms and legs) from enemies and bodies aswell no brutal headshots with ragdoll or flying heads around.

Other than that ,the game is contentwise 100% the same.

Is Germany running on Internet Explorer?

I am embarrassed by this. I do like it here, a lot, but this shameful censorship does not belong in the 21st century. This goes 2x for the Wolfenstein sequels... as kids, we'd simply have pirated versions of Wolf3d and Doom and so on but now I can't buy A New Order without having people editing out content. Feels like I live in North Korea.

Fallout 3 Remastered on PS4. Calling it!!

Since it's longer classified as harmful to minors, does this mean violent game do desensitize young people?

Willkommen auf die Capitol Wasteland!

2922 days(8 years) too late, Fallout 4 was released.

god bless merkel and her kind heart. The beautiful third worlders deserve that old german empire.

Wouldn't the problem be that a game with a rating barring minors from playing it(With minors obtaining it) be more of a problem than the content of the game itself? Anyway for the past few years it has been how can you even enforce this game not being bought and sold in your country?

Germany sux.

A joke all around. Game hasn't changed at all.

"...from today's perspective."

I guess letting in over one million economic migrants can have that effect.

Come on German censorship, join the rest of the world in the 21st century.
