I just realized that a game's rating doesn't indicate its level of maturity

Rol, you are attacking ESRB for rating the game based off of a certain type of maturity, that is the maturity it takes to understand fantasy from reality. It would be silly for ESRB to rate it according to how complex the plot is or something of the sort.

I am not attacking the ESRB, they are doing a fine job.

Alright, attacking was completely the wrong word. But you're making a case the case that these games that are rated 'M' are misleading because they aren't really intended for a mature audience.

I am making the point that the type of maturity that is at hand is the maturity it takes to understand fantasy from reality.

The way you describe it, Madworld may as well be rated E since it has no complex story line, and all you do in the game is chop people up.

Am I wrong?

BTW I am almost at 1,000 posts yay!! (took me two years to get this far.)
