Cl_Flushentityhero Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I'm surprised, actually. The content shown so far has been very PG-13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humodour Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I'm surprised, actually. The content shown so far has been very PG-13. You're surprised? This is a game that will have random casual sex, torture, mindless killing, executions, hardcore espionage themes, probable drug use, and terrorism.

Cl_Flushentityhero Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Yeah. I guess you're from Auz, but random casual sex is pretty widely accepted in American media, even trivialized. Killing hordes of bad guys is also pretty common, as is beating them up for info on network TV. Ditto for drug use and terrorism. Usually, ratings are more concerned with the amount of blood/nudity/profanity explicitly shown than the themes or implied content. Up here, anyway.

Maria Caliban Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Did you know that the movie rating board requires priests to be in the room with raters when they review the movie's content? Anyways, yes, TV shows, movies, and games all tend to be slightly different when it comes to rating material. "When is this out.

Others have already jumped on this, but you're relatively naive about the ESRB's video game rating methodology. Also, what does "I guess you're from Aus" have to do with anything?

GreasyDogMeat Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Woot! M Rating! I'm hoping that Alpha Protocol can finally deliver the most realistic sex acts ever conceived. I want to custom design the shape, form, body, hair style and breast size of Mike Thorton. I want to watch in crystal clear, LCD, 54 inch, HD clarity as Mike Thorton humps in every form, format, gender-oriented possibility I can think of. Kevin McCullough talked big about Mass Effect and the game completely failed every one of his promises. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1952968/posts Obsidian... I KNOW you can do this!

Indifferent might be the more accurate term. Different ratings in different countries was the point of the Australia comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath of Dagon Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Funny, the ESRB description says exactly why it's rated M, and people still argue about why it's rated M.

Llyranor Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) That's funny, kind of like when people are trying to argue that Carth Onasi isn't an interesting, well-developed character. Those fools. Edited August 3, 2009 by Llyranor (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meshugger Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Bleh, mature is for juveniles anyway.
