The argument i was making is that TLOU is more mature than mario - in almost every way.  I was responding to a guy that complained about mature content and adult themes in videogames.

And ESRB ratings have LOTS to do with game's visual content (which i used to prove my point), which they later use to assign the game to a specific audience/s

The only argument you made to me was the picture one.  And again, just because the ESRB is saying that specific visual content is for mature audiences does not make a game mature.  The ESRB is describing the audience not the content.  If you want to say that TLOU has mature content because it's rated M, you must also logically say that Lego Batman has "everybody 10 plus content" within it, and that clearly makes no sense at all.

What exactly are you even arguing for anyway ? You seem to be arguing just for sake of arguing. I made my point clear multiple times in this thread, but i have no idea what yours is.

TLOU has mature visual content and mature story/characters. Mario (and most other nintendo games for that matter) have neither. Now what exactly are you trying to argue about there?

ESRB sees if a game has visually mature content and then assigns that game to a mature audience. ESRB sees if a game has a visual content that is suitable for "everybody 10'' and then assigns that game to everybody that is 10 and older audience. It's a simple rocket science, no?
