This thread is why the current M rating sucks.

M does not mean a game is mature. M means you need to be mature to play the game.

And while Grand Theft Auto may be considered immature...you should be mature if you're playing a game that kills people, steals cars, has foul language and sexual themes, etc.

QTF I totally agree.


See, my problem with this is that maybe you should be mature for a game like that, but that's not Rockstar's target audience. Have you seen the GTAIV commercial? It's nothing but hookers and stuff blowing up. You can't tell me they aren't targeting teens. Yes, the themes are "mature" but the game is aimed at kids.


 That's all I'm saying.  That you should be mature to play the game.  That's all the M rating really means.  Doesn't mean the game itself is mature.  And it doesn't mean they don't target it to teens...that's just a fault of the industry I guess...marketing games to teens that end up rated for 17 and above.  Makes the games seem cooler to the kids anyway.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
