If it's not "AO" it's not hardcore enough.

 

"AO"?

Adults only. 

Only extreme violence or pornographic stuff make it to this rating.



Well then... I think M suites it just fine!

I'm guessing people are failing to realize this game is rated M. Unless gamestop wants to get in trouble, it'll be hard to sell to the somewhat majority child/teen demographic the 3DS attracts.

3/10, recommend taking lessons from kyliedog et al.

I think you fail to realize that there's a large portion of 3DS owners who are 18+ years old.

"large portion" ok...I think you're exaggerating just a wee bit.  You have to remember that forum poster demographics does not equal real world.

Rated M games first week

Resident Evil R: 86k

Metal Gear Snake Eater 23K

Resident Evil M: 25K

Soul Hackers: 32k ( im sure actual NPD numbers are lower as VGC tends to over shoot RPGS)

Your also not realizing that MG is a port and RE+Soul Hackers are spin offs. Also it had a much less user base at the time aside from soul hackers. Why dont you predict your #s and we'll see if your right?

I never said that.  I based it solely on the fact that, unlike what you think, there is a sizeable amount of people who are adults who have and play on the 3DS.

There are probably more children/young teens with 3DS' than adults, but you clearly think the ratio is like 10 to 1.

Are age ratings even binding in the USA?

Anyway, it will sell more on the 3DS than it would on the Vita, so I say 20k+ first week.



20k+ õ.Ô..... Well at least you have the plus cuz its surely goingto be much higher than that

Nope. Although once in a while you'll get a clerk who cares enough to enforce them.



On amazon its doing really well! At gamestop they said each store had about 9 copies each, 8 of which was pre ordered o.O



top 3 only will get extra coins! Best gets 3 coins, 2nd gets 2coins, and 3rd gets 1 coin
