Ah, sorry, I would've mentioned as much but as it's an Ubi-published game I didn't think it'd be available on GMG US. That's why I linked to a search page rather than the AU product page, haha.

LoL, I haven't been here that long and I even remember derrick. His Deus Ex face staring at me while I read his hatethons. I for one found it quite entertaining even if it was bit off putting at times. He will be missed...
I just re-watched those episodes, and it's hilarious how the whole thing sets up for selling the game... and they had to throw in a last minute thing because of the delay.

I actually agreed with Derrick most of the time. I think he disliked Dark Souls though... which I do not agree with.
Lame.
I'm sure theres gonna be some controversy in the US after the game is out, just happy its after-the-fact.

What? That's bullshit. The European pc version should be fine though? The article only mentions consoles.

R.I.P. in peace? lol
I kind of hate the show South Park, but the game looks pretty fun. I might grab it on Steam when it goes on sale.

Canceling preorder, not gonna pay for censorship bullshit. I hated it when they censored multiplayer in TLOU. Im over 18 i shouldnt have to deal with censorship on a 18+ product, just because parents are buying these games for their kids.
You must be new to the internet, it's a meme joke for a while now.

You are not going to like this game.
Before those in Europe who bought the game on the PC start freaking out, allow me to reiterate this:
Retail copies might be censored; it's hard to be sure without knowing exactly what sub the keys are set to activate. What I can say with absolute certainty, though, is that the ROW sub just about everyone has been buying (this includes ~$20 copies bought through traders) is uncensored; in addition to being used on the stores of the countries not listed above (availability permitting), it's also used in America, meaning it would be impossible for Ubi to add censorship data without this affecting UK and American users. Eastern European users are presumably also safe.
The alternative, of course, is that the game is censored everywhere, but I doubt this is the case as we surely would've heard something about it by now.

I do love it.. and I guess I don't care! Grand Wizard Edition here I come!!!
Yeah WTF? Well i'm from Austria and if the game is censored i won't buy it. I'm fucking sick of this censor bullshit.
What the fuck?
So i'll have to import this from the UK effectively doubling the price - What the actual fuck.
The Steam store version will be, at least, as per my post above.

Is there any secure source that UK will be uncut?
Are you sure it's 100% uncensored then?
If you had someone gift you the ROW sub, yes, it would be, unless Ubi has censored the game everywhere, but again that slipping under the radar this close to release is extremely unlikely.
Yeah, I have a feeling it might be something good
I read somewhere a while ago that the anal probing scenes are replaced with the image of a

allgamersbeta says it's only for the console version, dunno if true
Hm... ok, thank you.

I don't get why the UK version should receive a special treatment. I mean, it can't possibly be because of the PEGI rating, since other versions (including the Italian one) bear a 18+ rating too. I guess it's a false assumption.

As JaseC pointed out, the German and Austrian version is indeed censored on pc as well. That's probably about swastikas and the such though, not sure if the anal probe/abortion scenes are left uncut or not.
That's a good question, I wouldn't want Ubi to patch out the censored content or something.

Been playing the game for the past 2-3 hours and loving it. Cutscenes and visuals are brilliant. You would think you was just watching the show. The humour lol. Can't really say anything else due to embargo but I believe everyone will love it. ^_^
I would love if Ubisoft brought it to XB1 and PS4 like they have done with Rayman.

Thanks for clearing that up JaseC.
So you can just add any sub no matter where you are connecting from? I thought this was using the new Steam regionlock stuff that was introduced with that Metal Gear game. Isn't that supposed to lock people to their respective sub versions? I am confused!

So is UK part of EMEA or not?
Looks like it is also censored in the UK.
