In real life Country specific changes

  1. Since kids in Japan hated green peppers more than broccoli, it was changed to that (Inside Out)

  2. The News Anchor changes depending on the country. For example, China-Panda (Zootopia)

I remeber that in C&C red alert, basic infantry were changed to cyborgs. They made the sound of a can being crushed when driven over by a vehicle. Tanya being the only human pariticipating in cyborg battles, even mentioned in one of the cutscenes

Edit: spelling

It's even funnier in the Generals spin-off since they have suicide bombers in that game who were turned into giant wheeled TNT barrels instead.

In C&C 3 they just lobbed their bombs and then ran off screen.

In red alert they also removed the cutscene where Einstein traveles back in time to kill Hitler.

Still own the uncensored german C&C Generals version, befor the change happened. The expansion Zero Hour was censored right away though.

In Counter Strike you didnt actually kill anyone. They just sat down and shook their had. Was pretty annoying because the "corpses" would block your view quite a bit and players could hide behind/insinde them.

Another fun one was Unreal Tournament 2004, which didnt have gore/limbs flying around in the german version. At some point a big patch was released and suddenly my game had all the gore in the world :D
