Bdbdbd's comments are not statements, they are opinions, he believes mature games must have the following x y z criteria.
Onyx is making a rebutal because he believe the term mature is extremely subjective and shouldn't be generalised. This is something I think most people can agree to.
When I originally started this thread, i should have just clearly stated that the term mature when reference in the damn thread means M rating under the ESRB or its equivilant in your respective country. (I have since stated this but once the cat is out of the bag...)
What I refer to was to a technical lingo with a very definite parameter, 'mature' as debated here is a concept that is impossible to categorise because the concept is base on personal opinion and observation rather than clear cut facts.
By Bdbdbd's definition, Hopscotch is a mature game as it
a)Is simple and fast to learn (subjective)
b)Isn't graphically intense (subjective)
c)Is not very fast or a reflex game (subjective)
d)Can be played in shortburst - fact
e)Is focused on gameply - fact (as there is nothing but gameplay to it)
Yet it is universally considered a children game and adult that plays it would very likely find themselves mocked and ridicule by strangers.
The merit of what constitute mature isn't what the topic was originally about, it was about a category of games with clearly define classification from an institution that monitor video game censorship.
