Understandable, weird to note that no other GTA's are currently banned in Australia beyond one for music issues.

Naga3430d ago (Edited 3430d ago )

Don't worry. I'm sure K-Mart and Target will be consistent and pull all of their R-rated movies, too.

pivotplease3429d ago

I don't get it. You can still download the game? Even if parental controls are thrown in, this is no different from the age restrictions enforced by video game vendors. Garbage parents are the main problem here.

MRHARDON3430d ago (Edited 3430d ago )

Yeah, for the 2-3 people that still shop there.

Say what you will, I've yet to find a more absorbent tighty whitey.

@ab5olut10n I think you misspelled "diaper"

How's iz it t@ they sell real gunz to people but pull a video game on the shelf! Hypocrites

Dan503430d ago

Guns are banned in Australia.

sungam3d3430d ago

No, guns are not banned in Aus...
Why does everyone think this?

BadlyPackedKeebab3430d ago

@sungam3d - most likely because the rest of us see Aus as a rational and forward thinking country. Rational and forward thinking countries generally dont let people pick up a roast chicken, olive oil and an AK47 in the same trolley.

inmusicutrust3430d ago

Guns are banned in Australia as far as I know.

Stiffler3429d ago

They're not banned bro.

Saryk3429d ago

Guns are heavily regulated, but not banned.

Bathyj3430d ago

We have guns, what are you talking about?

You have to be licensed to have them and handguns are harder but you can get them. You cant carry them around on the street unless you have a job that requires it. I used to shoot pistols and ordinary civilians can do it, but you must be a member of a sporting pistol club and participate regularly.

MSBAUSTX3430d ago

There isnt a target I have been in that sells guns

pasta_spice3430d ago

Target Australia and Target US are run by 2 different countries. They just have similar logos.

these liberal soccer moms have grown to become a bigger scourge on progression than even the tea party.

On another note, who cares theres a million other stores to buy GTA5 in better than Target which is just an overpriced walmart ripoff anyways.

Bathyj3430d ago (Edited 3430d ago )

Well thats it. Im going to Big W after work and pick this up for $64.

Congrats Target and K-Mart. All you did was actually make me buy this early than I thought I would, and from someone else.

Bigger picture though, your actually being jerks. Lets say next time a GTA or similar game has censorship issues in Australia, and the publisher say we'll tone it down to get classification in Australia, then some bright spark reminds them, "hang on, even if we do that, their dumb arsed shops (for thats what we call stores) will refuse to sell them. I say bugger em."

Thanks jerkshops.

More interested in money than giving fans what they want. Such a shame

CrimsonWing691d 17h ago

With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.

Profchaos1d 15h ago

I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.

Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder

Demetrius1d 4h ago

Ikr mfs that greedy it's ridiculous

andy851d 14h ago

This makes me sad. Trevor was one of my favourite characters in gaming

Demetrius1d 4h ago

One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
