Forums - Gaming - I just realized that a game's rating doesn't indicate its level of maturity

Well, banjo tooie is for everyone, so game's ratings are quite irrelevant since this game came out.

ESRB is younger than i thought...

anyway i agree, now way is a game like Madworld more mature than a game like Zelda or Fire Emblem, even though it has an 'M' ESRB rating it still isn't very "mature".

That's okay, because this way you are less inclined to copypaste the thread and give it another title.

Very true Rol. Also weird, I thought all of your threads were to make the people laugh. I think this will make some people un-laugh.



Mature rating is a selling gimmick to make a teen feel like he's become a man just because he is playing a game that has profanity or nudity. IMO it should be named "Immature" instead.



Rol, you are attacking ESRB for rating the game based off of a certain type of maturity, that is the maturity it takes to understand fantasy from reality. It would be silly for ESRB to rate it according to how complex the plot is or something of the sort.

I am not attacking the ESRB, they are doing a fine job.

Alright, attacking was completely the wrong word. But you're making a case the case that these games that are rated 'M' are misleading because they aren't really intended for a mature audience.

I am making the point that the type of maturity that is at hand is the maturity it takes to understand fantasy from reality.

The way you describe it, Madworld may as well be rated E since it has no complex story line, and all you do in the game is chop people up.

Am I wrong?

BTW I am almost at 1,000 posts yay!! (took me two years to get this far.)



Let's see how big of a haul this one brings in.
