Why Do People Care What ESRB Rating Destiny Receives?
I've been seeing a lot of threads lately about what rating Destiny should receive. Honestly, who cares? An M rating won't stop kids from buying the game. I would assume that the majority of such threads are either created either by kids themselves or trolls. I can safely assume that the only people that really care about what rating Destiny receives are kids with extremely butthurt parents. Even kids like this could find a way to get the game. Besides,(this will make me sound like a troll) kids should obey their parents anyway. I remember my mother not allowing me to by M games when I was younger, and sure, I would contest her decisions, but in the end she would win and I wouldn't get the game. Big deal. I just went to my friend's house and played it. This is not a problem people like me have anymore, so why should we care?
Why does it matter?

People are writing posts like this: Either a kid writes it who has parents that won't let him get M rated games as you said, Or they are older gamers that want the M rating to try to get rid of some kids who can't get M games.
-
Because it gives them a false sense of maturity
-
Being a m rated game keeps it from being limited.
-
it leaves less possibilities for the story. In an E game the antagonists may have eaten all your cookies (jk)
-
Because the occasional "-blam!-" is better than "crap"

1 RespuestaI pretty much agree with most of what you said. Also, it is important to know, a game is rated based content not the other way around. From the game play weve seen so far, Destiy does not look like a gorefest some of you are hoping for. Bungie is making the game that they think will be amazing and I'm fully behind them on that.

I don't mind really. On second thought a T rating wouldn't be bad because then the game is more available to people. Inb4peoplesaymorekidswillgetthegameeventhoughtheywilljustconvincetheirparentstobuyitevenifitwasratedm

I think it's mostly those who's parents/game shops do care about the rating and(for game shops) won't let you get the game without id proving you're old enough or parents there to buy it... and if the parents care if it's rated M instead of T then they won't be able to get it due to that... I honestly could care less, it could be rated E and I would still get it

1 RespuestaIt would just appeal less to adults and more to kids, effectivley ruining the game. Although ESRB is leaning towards M due to Blood and gore, language, shooting, and guns. The ESRB rating is the one on the front of every Triple A videogame, so I guess we are saved

1 RespuestaEditado por SleepingElite4: 6/1/2014 1:49:46 AMYeah you do have a point. For me, I don't care about the M rating. I'm 18 years old, and can legally purchase this stuff. I show the dude at Gamestop my ID and there would be no discussion about it. On the topic of Destiny with the M rating: We've all seen game play of Destiny for about a year, ever since E3 last year. And with everything they've shown with all the combat, I have NOT seen any blood or gore in ANY videos. You see a Titan, a Hunter or a Warlock get a headshot on some enemy, no blood, just headshot, pretty lighting effects, and die, and some enemies just dissolve. No blood. And Destiny seems like such a serious heroic game, where could they possibly sneak any drug or sexual references? I could see some adult language from any dialogue or cut scenes during the game. But, if it is rated M, I don't give a -blam!-, I'm 18, I have an I.D. I can play whatever the -blam!- I want.

3 RespuestasSoooo, kids with homosexual parents?

To piss other people off /thread

My parents stopped giving a -blam!- what games I played once they realized that I am responsible of handling graphic content. Most kids adopt the curse words and violence, I nver adopted any of that and to this day video games never make me think any differently. I have always played games for the fun and looked passed the guts to see the true art of graphic desighning and game making overall.

Ask not what you can do for Bungie, ask what Bungie can do for you.

3 RespuestasI think they need a new rating system actually. There is such a big gap between the different labels that games that are completely different get grouped together. Even though halo and far cry are both M, there's a difference between throwing sparkly grenades at aliens and first person sex scenes. I am aware that they do indeed have a A for adult rating, but I think only like 5 or so games have received that rating. It shouldn't really be a age rating in my opinion, it should be what content is in the game, and it's appearance in the game on the scale of 1-10. For example hale would be rated like this:violence 7/10-gore 2/10-language:3/10. And far cry would probably be all tens or nines anyway so I won't show that example but I honestly think that a age rating isn't appropriate because many people mature at different rates, there were people in my 3rd grade class that would yell: you bītch åss ñiger cůnt!!!! Across the room, while I was still trying to color inside the lines, a quarter of my eighth grade class smoked marijauna, they were 13-14 and they were selling it at school. My voice still sounded like a helium filled rubber ducky and they sounded like frīcking batman. So I think if someone's parents really wanted to let there kids have fun, without to much mature content, (because that's really the only kind of parents that care about ratings, other than overprotective parents,) they should have a scale showing them what's in the game, not have the game decide for them, what's appropriate for there child.

10 RespuestasI don't actually care. What I care about is if they purposefully ditch great stuff just to get a T rating. Its just like the movies now, everyone is too scared to put out a great R film. Instead they'll put out a really shitty PG13 version. All I want is a great game that will keep me coming back for 10 years. And I think Bungie can deliver that, regardless of the rating. I believe this because Bungie has said they are making a game that they want to play, first and foremost. I see dedication to this game, and it makes me super friggin excited to get my hands on it.

1 Respuesta[quote]Why does it matter?[/quote] It matters because bungie has to cater to ALL of EVERYONE'S desires for Destiny. In fact, I want Destiny to have a GGG rating for Gratuitous Gut-wrenching Gorefest and no less.
-
I've seen on some of these threads that there are younglings whose parents are strict, and wont let them play the game if it's an M. So there you go, that's why it matters.
-
1 RespuestaBecause of the fluff
-
I don't like the letter 'M'.

[quote]I've been seeing a lot of threads lately about what rating Destiny should receive. Honestly, who cares?[/quote]The whole thing has been hyped up by bungie ... like some 8 y/o wanna-be bad boy kid. The gamers don't care. The stores selling pre-orders don't care (how can they, its already being sold without classification).
-
12 RespuestasTo some of us what's in the game really dictates if we get it or not. I've got a 13 year old nephew who is begging God that it's rated T... For the sake of all of you... I hope it's M... He's an annoying nightmare.. But I love him..
-
5 RespuestasI don't think it matters, at all! It's just a label to help parents make decisions. Hopefully the parents make the decision to say no to M games though, but unfortunately I don't think they are caring too much anymore. Which is sad in a way...
-
4 RespuestasWhile I don't care how gory/ adult themed Destiny is, I do care about whether or not Bungie handcuffs themselves when making it. What really worries me is that Halo was a really good game, but it was rated M without having any majorly mature contents. Hearing Bungie say they're aiming for a T rating makes me wonder what they would have had to cut from each Halo game. Hopefully the game we receive on Sept 9 is the same game that would have been made if ESRB wasn't a concern.

20 RespuestasIt allows for a certain amount of freedom for the development so with an m rating the studio can go all out and have little to no restrictions
-
For me its more or less about content id prefer to see a rated R Deadpool movie than a PG-13 because it wouldn't properly display the characters true colors.
