OT: another way of rating, nothing more.

DUDE WTF?

Thats a normal accent in UK

I speak in that accent in fact, so do most people.

No we don't. You don't speak to many people who aren't lower-middle class and from the South-East of England, do you?

And lol @ this rating system. It seems to be an attempt to give extra validity to a generic rating system by tacking religion onto it. I can see such systems being major money spinners when Televangelists in the US hear about them.



I personally prefer this accent above the ones on GT (sorry Brandon), like the BBC shows the accent makes it better for me to understand it (now watching Hi di Hi)..



 

Ok, which of the attributes mentioned would anyone take issue with regarding how the game is rated?  If they rate each category separately, that sounds useful actually.  Well, it is subjective, but still useful.

Found this after some googling:

Sounds pretty normal, but who knows how far they are going to go. After all, one of those countries (Saudi Arabia, I think) banned Pokemon for having a David's star or something.

Based on corresponding coverage from Games Industry, we know that the games to be reviewed by the ESRA will be rated according to their violence, sexual content, presentation of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco, and possibly presentation of sexual orientation. ESRA-reviewed will also be separated into five age brackets:  Six (6), 12, 15, 18 and 25.

I'm from the South-East, and I have no problems understanding this accent - Birmingham accents however.. :s

They can have this rating system everywhere in the world for all I care, just not in america. If so, then I want christian, hindu, scientology, mormon, and wiccan ratings as well.

thats what i mean't!



I think its a great idea. But to be honest I find it sort of funny that Islam is represented alone. If this became big I'd expect the Vatican to get a rating system and then a Jewish one and then a Buddhist one. I'd love to see all religions represented. Or how about a multi-religious rating system that judges games on their religious values based on all of the major religions.


I am all for religious freedom so this is great news to me. I just hope the rest of the worlds organised religions get involved. I would love to see religious groups taking a positive interest in video games.
