February 25, 201411 yr I read that there will be some heavily censored scenes in non-American version of The Stick of Truth. Specifically they can be found in this document (obvious spoilers): http://a.pomf.se/eczoaa.JPG Any comments on that? How will the game determine whether it will be censored or not? What if I buy a US version and activate it in my European Steam account?

February 25, 201411 yr It's not even sure if Ubisoft didn't also censor it in the us version. Screw you Ubi.

Source: http://www.vg247.com/2014/02/25/south-park-the-stick-of-truth-has-7-censored-scenes-in-europe-report/ Well that's really disappointing. I guess this censorship will cover EU Steam versions as well... And here I was thinking that I'm an adult who won't get traumatized by cartoon anal probing scenes. Thanks EMEA/Ubisoft.

February 25, 201411 yr That's the weird thing. The uncensored versions share their steam entry including the us. So, it might not be just europe.
February 25, 201411 yr Author That's the weird thing. The uncensored versions share their steam entry including the us. So, it might not be just europe. Well, that would be very unfortunate. I imagine there are other ways to censor a game than through different binaries though. Kinda like some games that sell DLCs for assets already present in the game files (example: RAGE).
February 25, 201411 yr I have been anticipating the release of this game delay after delay. After this many delays, I really hope they do not mess up the game with something silly like censorship.
February 25, 201411 yr That's the weird thing. The uncensored versions share their steam entry including the us. So, it might not be just europe. That's because it's the console versions that are censored.
February 25, 201411 yr That's the weird thing. The uncensored versions share their steam entry including the us. So, it might not be just europe.That's because it's the console versions that are censored. Wait. Seriously? WTF Ubi?
February 25, 201411 yr Uplay still says "Non-censored version" for me (Finland). PC version not affected?
February 25, 201411 yr Author Uplay still says "Non-censored version" for me (Finland). PC version not affected? Well, I've just stumbled upon a claim that "the PC version remains unaffected." So that would be good, provided it's true.

So, it might not be just europe.That's because it's the console versions that are censored. Wait. Seriously? WTF Ubi? Yeah, read the document linked in the OP (well, the section on censorship anyway), it specifically mentions EMEA console versions.
February 25, 201411 yr Link, please? I believe you as always, just post it so no one else asks. Edit: Edited February 25, 201411 yr by Labadal
February 25, 201411 yr "Paladin, are you sure the bard is hiding there?""That's as twitter says""Carrying Raven,Butters!" This sounds great for me, and, i think, for other players too.
February 25, 201411 yr Hey, just to let you guys know, a petition has been started by some people on Gamespot.Guys please be a gem and sign it. Not wanting to cause trouble, just us Europeans are pretty annoyed concerning this.https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/ubisoft-ubisoft-to-un-censor-the-european-version-of-south-park-the-stick-of-truth# Personally I always thought that Americans were more annoyed concerning abortion issue's than those of us in Europe

But the change wasn't even made for rating reasons otherwise the pc version would have been changed too. Edited February 25, 201411 yr by C2B
February 25, 201411 yr Are North American console versions of the game affected? Just to be sure. No, they are not. https://twitter.com/IridiumGameDev Ex-Obsidian Senior Programmer
February 26, 201411 yr Poor saps probably won't even get our crying koala picture. What'd be appropriate for Europe? A crying wolf or reindeer? A vole? L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
February 26, 201411 yr Poor saps probably won't even get our crying koala picture. What'd be appropriate for Europe? A crying wolf or reindeer? A vole? I'm not sure. So far it looks like it was someone in ubisoft who made the decision, not the PEGI who already had passed the game.... So maybe so ubisoft mockery?
February 26, 201411 yr I just pre ordered this on steam and was almost ready to cancel my pre order until they said the PC version was unaffected. It's still shocking though that in 2014 games are getting censored. Especially when it's an 18 rated game.
February 26, 201411 yr You have been sought out new kid, because humans everywhere are in great danger. I need something from you, and in return I'm prepared to allow you into my kingdom. I know you are very excited. It's time for your first quest but first, please tell us thy name. You entered "Dingbat", is that correct? Are you sure you want to keep the name "Dingbat"? Very well Dingbat, you will now choose a class... You see, ever since the whole Doritos Locos Tacos thing, Taco Bell thinks they can do whatever they want.
February 26, 201411 yr All we know about the content that has been cut for the European console versions are 5 probes and two abortions, the latter being interactive.
February 26, 201411 yr In Steam people talks about German "low violence" version.Swastikas was deleted.
