Aussies hoping to play Saints Row IV with overseas friends are out of luck, because the co-op mode in the modified Australian version will be incompatible with versions played by the rest of the world.
According to a post on the official Saints Row IV Facebook page, the omission of a particular 'loyalty' program which featured depictions of 'alien narcotics' is the cause of the issue.
"For this
version," the post reads, "we had to cut one optional Loyalty Mission from the game. Loyalty Missions are optional side missions that you can do with your homies. This mission in particular involves alien narcotics in the simulation, which eventually have a positive effect in terms of gameplay. As you cannnot depict any positive effect for using narcotics in video games in Australia, this was the reason the game was refused a classification.
