Singapore Lifts Ban On Mass Effect > |
2007/11/16 10:40:44: Posted by DM | |
As you may have heard, Singapor recently banned Mass Effect because of a supposed lesbian-alien romantic scene. That plus the occassional use of the word "bastard" apparently put it over the line. Well, the ban has been lifted as cooler heads have prevailed.The game was released under the M18 rating, so any non-minor who wants to play, can.

Ya know, here is the funny thing about this:In reality, there is NOT any reason for this game to be banned.The reason this game was going to be banned was because there is a part of the game where you can "Potentially" have a relationship with one character who is of an alien Race where there is only one Gender--there is no such thing as Male or Female in that Race of Aliens.
However, in the game, rhe Race does have elements that do look Femine (and Masculine)...so if you made your character Commander Shephard to be a Female at the start of the game, then certain people were actually making a MISTAKE by saying that it was Lesbian situation, because there were NOT two Female genders involved!This is the sort of judgmental crap that starts wars that last thousands of years!...and it wouldn't have mattered anyways, because the Mass Effect game could have been purchased on the Internet or through a Catalogue, and used on the Xbox 360 systems in those regions, since they are Region-Free with their games!
