Then why do you feel compelled to keep reading it, and now perpetuate
it by adding your own two cents? Hypocrite.

In your opinion.

It is my understanding some of the dialog is censored as well as some
of the animations. That can detract from the atmosphere of the game.

For a very limited time on a recurring basis. Its the third time
they've done it since it's been out. Clear out the inventory nobody

As long as I buy the us version and download the european, then really
I am only downloading the content that I should be entitled to as an
option anyway.

Then you don't know the first thing about retail. Average invoice
cost on a $50 game would be closer to $20.
