German Localisation?

FluffyM · 30-1-2010, 11:36

Hello there, I was wondering if it's known yet wether the german localisation of the game will be censored, and if so, how it would affect online distribution. As an adult, localised, censored games (that in the worst case don't even allow me to play them in english) really are a thorn in my side. Plenty of times I bought a game on steam, just to discover that it was censored, german language only, and in some cases even the games' functionality was limited because of that. Thus it is quite important to me to know beforehand wether I should import it or if I can safely buy it on steam/D2D/whatever. Would appreciate a reply by anyone who has reliable sources. Cheers.

Always go with the english localization. Simple.

Probably not (except for singleplayer?)
I don't think it's that much needed anyway.
Everyone knows what "play" means

I think that German will be in game, but german version will be censored.

Three replies, all of them utterly useless, one not even comprehensible. GG.

What do you exacly mean by censored? I know CoD games get censored because of the Hitler signs... but how would this game get censored? Please explain it a bit better

No blood, differently coloured blood, no ragdolls, human models replaced with robot-models, certain kill-animations cut completely (melee), whole game-modes removed...they can be quite creative when it comes to censoring games.

Of course to me all of that isn't half as bad as having to play games in german, with german menus and voiceovers... *shivers*

Guess I'll have to wait for the release- just can't get used to developers being inconsiderate enough to not bring this topic up themselves pre-release.

If it gets censored: buy the English version af the game online, in a European store, problem fixed

That doesn't exactly help me with my problem now, does it? That's always an option but I'd like to pre-order it and forget about it, which is why I came here in the first place.

As far as I know, there is nothing known about this yet.
