I hope its a matter of time until they fix this.
Don't bet on it. I doubt they will do anything.

Seems mine is censored too. I have a usa digital copy and I live in usa! Lol never seen extreme gore in the mp..Nope, the toggle is on. I've seen gore in the single player but I'm showing the same level of gore that the EU version shows in multiplayer. I've never seen a head explode or any dismemberment ever during mutliplayer. I'll trying turning it off and on to see if it'll work.
They've already gotten your money. It's pointless.I wont activate my online pass till they patch this.

Also I would like to add that I personally would rather have gore in TV than german tits. They are horrible to look at. While I love my country, our women are ugly as hell and Heidi Klum is something like one in a million.
Japanese girls, all day, every day~
I live in Australia and the game is censored around here, EU version.
I bought the US PSN digital version and it was censored too, but I changed all language settings in the console to English US, and now the game is uncensored.
US version will still censored if your PS3 has language configured as English UK.
Great - it's better without the dismemberment.

It's not enough that they are censoring the games, now they are censoring forum threads as well. They removed many things from the main thread on the official TLOU forums, after the word got out, and the "big gaming sites" started reporting on it!!!

I watched the gifs in that thread you linked. If that is the level of gore in the game, I really wonder why it is there in the first place. Do you really need to see shit like this?
That seems completely unnecessary. Are people legitimately upset that their game doesn't have this excessive gore?
I just realized that the guy who made that thread is going out of his way to own both versions and uses the US version to play online. There must be some sort of psychological terminology for someone that desperate to see blood.
It is completely unnecessary, but so is all of gaming. I would prefer to play a censored version myself, but people should have the choice, and the information about what they are buying should be accurate.I watched the gifs in that thread you linked.

No need to be a dick, Dick.People just don't like censorship. Get your head our of your ass.

Are you suggesting that this level of gore is somehow indicated on the box? That someone buying this at the store believes there will be exploding, bloody skull fragments? Is "decapitate your friends!" a bullet point on the packaging?It is completely unnecessary, but so is all of gaming. I would prefer to play a censored version myself, but people should have the choice, and the information about what they are buying should be accurate.
I can't confirm.. But it's been console region specific - not game region specific - for most PS3 censorings.I wonder if the censorship is based on console-region and not game-region?
I have a US copy but I played it on a PAL PS3, and I don't recall ever seeing anything as gruesome as those .gifs while playing multiplayer.
Can anybody confirm?
I believe there was a second American printing that was censored?Maniac Mansion - NES Exploding hamster
censored in the German version but not in the US version because it slipped Nintendo's censors.

I'm sure this isn't the only game in this position, but it's still bullshit.

A message from Ramify (the guy who started the original thread on TLOU Forums)...

So yeah.... it has come to this. Soon we will all be banned, and the original TLOU Forum thread edited, censored, closed, and forgotten? And for what? For seeking out the truth, and answers. Well I guess, this society isn't so "free" as we think it is! This is a small issue compared to some of the bigger problems in the world (wars, famine ect.), but it still doesn't deserve to be put under the rug.
Yes, they're.Are people legitimately upset that their game doesn't have this excessive gore?

I'm from Puerto Rico and I have never seen gore in the multiplayer. My PS3 is in English so idk what's happening. Retail copy. Where is the option to toggle it on/off? main menu or inside the MP?
My PS3 is US version.
Was excessive gore/dismemberment one of the advertised points of the game or the US version, or whatever?Censorship is horse shit, but as long as customers are given a heads up, then the argument of censorship can be properly addressed, as it's not a fault that necessarily befalls the game developer and publisher but instead governments and boards.
But not telling or advertising customers of changes made to your game based on censorship differences between regions is a dog move. I'm sure this isn't the only game in this position, but it's still bullshit. Unless I'm missing something, neither Sony nor Naughty Dog made any effort to let customers know of regional differences, and only buckled under investigation from fans. It's a bit dirty and not particularly fair towards customer expectations, even if it might seem trivial.
Germany is known for bukkakes and they censore gore??
fucking backwards.
Here's a comparison GIF between American and European special executions with the sawed off Shotgun to the head:
It certainly is not on the packaging for either the NTSC or PAL region. I see "leader boards, trophies" etc, but no "decapitations, exploding brain matter"Was excessive gore/dismemberment one of the advertised points of the game or the US version, or whatever?
