The ESRB is a little wonky. I can tell you there are even T games that should have been M. Like Xenosaga Episode I, but then I couldn't buy it and I'm kind of thankful it was for that reason.

the only thing i noticed in halo was alien blood (which shouldn't count as blood anyways, and everyone knows that if you get cut, blood comes out) and mild lang.

Xenosaga does display large amounts of bloodshed (one of the bad guys even pulls his own head off) and, in its untouched format, sexual themes (at one point one of the characters, a child, is raped by one of the main villains in order to retrieve some data). It's really psychotic at times... but it was so thrilling. I loved the game from the opening scene.

Bloodshed... phbt, I see more in real life. We are human, we do bleed. I have seen dead people before , seeing an animated head being torn off isn't that bad compared to a real human body that isn't living. |

I lost satellite. I don't worry about it though: nothing good on most of the time anyway.  |

Should we all assume that just because it's digital art doesn't mean it's still rather disturbing?

But I mean that Xenosaga should still be rated T.
I'm not syaing this jsut because I'm 15, so don't think it's just bias.

The ESRB is gay!! Everytime i go into a store to buy an M rated game, they say I need my parents to buy it. I think the ESRB should make an online test to see if minors are mentaly ready to play these games. Hell, some of the best games out there are M rated. I don't like to be excluded from things, it's mean! Find a way to convince the idiot politicians, the same people who don't lose sleep over sending our men to their deaths, that games aren't the problem. I think that there should be a rating system anyways, but it doesn't have to be enforced. Parents should be the ones enforcing it, but unfortunately parents' selfish needs come first these days. Though I'm sure the rising divorce rate is going to make kids not want to shoot each other. On a side note, I don't know how Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Killer 7 can get the same rating. It's like you get an M for a few curse words and gun use, and the same rating goes to a game with far more swearing, unbelievable amounts of blood spraying, tons of sexual innuendo, some of the most disturbing scenes I've ever seen...something doesn't add up. |
