I tend tothink of a mature game based on what you are fighting. In Mario (for example) you are fighting comical carachters who don't really do anythingapart from moving up and down, you never feel they want to kill you and pee on your body. Well at least we would hope so. A teen game the bad guys look like humans and they will shoot you and try to trick you. A mature based game, aka gears of war. You know the grunts will do anything they can to kill you. I also think the maturity level is how you kill them, mario is stomping, GRAW is shooting them. Gears of war is tearing them apart. I personally think that Teen games are the funnest because they can devlop deep charachters. Well I think i'm done that post |
So you're basically defining mature as violent, or rather containing realistic violence? Not flaming you here, this is a vague term and yours seems to be a common definition. |
Well um I guess so, but if you've ever played gears of war you kinda find out quick the diffrence between a Mature game and a Everyone game, and it is kinda the situation that you are put in that could define it. |
I think I see the confusion here, Andrew. When you say "mature," you apparently mean "something that gets an M rating from the ESRB," which is a valid and reasonable definition of the term, and I think most of us would agree that violence is the main concern when using such a definition. However, I think many of us are intending "mature" to mean "played by adults," and I don't think adults actually think that games are automatically more appealing the more violent they get -- in fact, I might claim it's often the reverse.
