GAME.....OF......THE.....CENTURY!!!!

And it's RATED FRICKIN' M!!!!!!!!

OMG, CANT WAIT!!!!!!


ZOMFGROFXYZ!!! YEEESS!! IT'S RATED M!!!!


Is that seriously a selling point for people or is at least one of you being sarcastic?

 

The game looks amazing. I'm very confident it'll be a GOTY contender. But the rating doesn't affect my opinion of it in the slightest.

I say that for a myriad of reasons.

1) It's Naughty Dog's FIRST Rated M game. Groundbreaking, can't wait to see what they do with the limitless range.

2) It's a HORROR game. Which means the horror can be taken to the FULL EXTENT and NOT HOLD BACK. Which is a GREAT THING.

3) It means the themes and motifs are going to be EXTEMELY mature. And I for one have adored the mature experiences Sony has giving me this Gen ala Heavy Rain.

This game is going to be brilliant. Without a doubt. 


I'm all for some brutal realism (e.g. violence) as long as it's not unecessary/excessive. 

As for the swearing though...I really wish they'd keep the F bomb out of the game. Use any other swear word (again, as long as it's not unnecessary/excessive), just skip f*#$. You can tell an amazing (and still mature) story without having it in there. Look at The Road (movie similar to TLoU). I actually don't remember any swearing, come to think of it.

I really don't mind the word normally, especially in movies; but for some reason, I don't like it when it's in my video games. Worst imo, is that ND is gonna alienate an entire population group (teenagers and kids living in their parents' house) if they make things over-the-top mature. I know I'll likely get flak for this, but I just don't think it's necessary, especially for a ND game (consistently the creators of my favorite games). It just didn't seem right or seem to fit when the ambusher said it. 

OT: Trailer was intense with lots of emotion and atmosphere. Really high hopes for this game.

Man, you're gonna be disappointed to know that Ellie calls a guy F*** face in the AMAZING gameplay footage Kotaku just witnessed. And they say Naughty Dog is making something special and it's going to be brilliant.
