Despite the new ratings system in place in Australia, they still are pretty uptight when it comes to the inclusion of drugs in videogames, even when those drugs are alien in nature.
As such, Saints Row IV had to be altered for that region. This alteration cuts a sidequest from the game which is about 20 minutes of gameplay worth. The mission was a loyalty mission involving Shaundi that contained the use of alien narcotics to obtain various superpowers.
