1 ReplyEdited by Sora Orth: 7/6/2015 3:59:21 AMThe ESRB was created, to my knowlage, as guild lines for shoppers, so you had [i]some[/i] idea of what you where getting into back when it was created, the only purpose I see it doing today is with M and AO ratings where you need a parent if your under age, but it's means nothing if parents keeping buying Call of Duty and GTA for they ten year olds like they do.
-
I haven't payed attention to a lot of the ratings. I was shocked when I finally found out Destiny was teen.

Their*

No one gives a shit about esrb ratings anymore except the protective parents whom of which are rich vaginas and all they can do is "protect" their kids from video game when some of them can improve intelligence- checkmate rich bitches
-
Lol he edited it to "strict". Nice. It used to be "strick" lololololol!!!!!!!!!
-
The ESRB will never be successful because 12 year olds still need mommy and daddy to buy them their M rated games
-
Does anyone even follow that
-
No-one listens anyway. Look at squeakers in CoD, which is rated mature.
-
You really have to go out of your way to earn an AO rating

3 RepliesEdited by Vgnut: 7/4/2015 4:50:23 AMThe taboo attached to AO has distorted the ESRB system. There are essentially three ratings (E, T, and M). There's hardly any middle ground here which results in stuff like Halo being lumped in with Grand Theft Auto. In movie terms it's like having G, PG, and R. Where's the PG13 and 14A? The PEGI system has the perfect amount of categories.

2 RepliesPEGI system is perhaps more effective, but that's because we Europeans care a little more about numbers. quite frankly though, no one should care. as long as there are stupid parents who let their 7 year old kid play any old game, age ratings will never mean squat. they are useless as both a law and a guideline; useless as a law because they aren't enforced, and useless as a Guide because no one really bothers to follow them. just a number on the Box. I applaud the minority of decent parents that DO follow the ratings. not only are you making sure your child isn't being exposed to adult content, you're also helping make online gaming for the rest of us a bit more bearable, with less Squeakers roaming about. you guys should be more recognised by the Gaming community as a whole. those of you who buy CoD for your 7 year old however, should be shot.

No. Parents are either too strict or not strict enough, however. They'll either see that Halo is "M" and immediately say no when their 15 year old asks for it or they'll let their 11 year old play GTA V because "his friends play it". Solution: kill all parents and replace them with consoles and PCs.
-
Terraria is rated T for Acohol usage and blood and gore. First of all, there are only TWO items referencing Acohol in the game. Second, I thought pixelated zombies exploding into gore (PIXELATED gore, and I mean 5x5 textures) was bad.

2 Replies*too *strict *their Somebody had to say it

Who gives a shit. Parents decide what their kids play. Not ESRB. And parents are far too lenient.
-
The ESRB is a joke.
-
8 RepliesI'd like to see those ratings properly enforced and anyone caught supplying games to kiddies below the stipulated age be fined. Watch CoD vanish overnight.
-
Every game rating is pretty much E for everyone.
-
6 RepliesWhen GTA and Halo have the same rating, something is wrong.
-
6 RepliesI wanted destiny to be rated M... if an m rating can make parents not buy these games for their little squeekers than shit in this game would be much more manageable
-
I've said for years that Halo should have been rated teen. [spoiler] except the first one... So much blue and people blood[/spoiler]
-
*their [spoiler]Deal with it[/spoiler]
-
ITT:OP's mom refused to buy him an M rated game. [spoiler]Couldn't resist[/spoiler]
-
I think that there shouldn't be one, and if a child heck even some teenagers need to have their parents more involved
-
4 RepliesNo, esrb isn't too strict, however parents are too oblivious to what the ratings stand for. The ratings themselves mean nothing if the child is raised right to know right from wrong.
