Is ESRB Efficient?
I was thinking about game ratings and contemplating if some games deserve the ratings they have. Halo shouldn't be M. Zelda: Twilight Princess shouldn't be T.
Debate on wether ESRB is efficient and feel free to say examples of games.
I say ESRB is inefficient because they don't have a specific age for each game.

4 回复Who even cares? I saw some 12 year old child buy that south park and the stick of truth game while his dad was with him. The dude working there even told his dad it was hella raunchy with an Anal probing scene that was actually removed in some countries. So countries censor shit but parents won't? The real question op is "do you think parents are efficient?" My answer is no.

5 回复Their ratings should be a guideline, not a strict ruleset. Games like Call of Duty or even Halo deserve a mature rating but not an 18+ rating. It's dependent on [b]maturity[/b], not physical [b]age[/b]. In the end, the parents know their kids best and should only use the rating as a loose guideline as to what's in the game so they can compare to what their kid can handle.

Its trying to cater to all parents but it only caters to the good parents. They rate the game you know blood and gore rated m that kind of stuff. The reason that they are not efficient is because their is no way to know billy is eight yrs old playing cod. The easiest way to find out though would be to look at their resent messages And find this [spoiler]going 24and 3is clerly becise u hac noob fgt[/spoiler] But that's beside my point, its only efficient on parents who care about what their kids play and watch

1 回复Let's see kids buy GTA, GTA and halo have the same rating. That right there is messed up. GTA deserves a rating on their own.

It's decent. Yeah some things are questionable. I mean they do say the reasons why next to it. But I wouldn't know what makes violence and blood in one game rated T and rated M in another. (My guess is how much it has) anyways I think for the most part it's fair though with what new games do it may need to be slightly updated. Like how K became rated E and then E got divided into 2 so there is now E and E10+. At least it's better than a government ran rating system.

1 回复由Smarkdow编辑： 7/22/2015 4:06:35 AMEfficient at what, exactly? Being enforced? Well, enforcement is on a voluntary basis, and supposedly stores have done well in that regard. At actually rating games? I can't really complain; of course there are games like Halo that are well above a T rating yet just below an M, but that's another issue entirely. I think the problem is similar to the one that led the to creation of the E 10+ rating. There's a fairly large gap between the T (13+) and M (17+) rating. There needs to be something like a T 15+ rating for games like Halo. But aside from that, I think the ESRB has done an admirable job so far. A lot of people might not remember, but there was a very real possibility that the U.S. government was going to put its paws in the industry back in the 90s, but the ESRB (and similar ratings like the ones Sega would put on their games before) prevented that.

It kind of is. Personally, I'd like to see it be a bit more categorized across the board, so parents know more what to expect, as well as giving more leeway in genres. For example, rather than "Strong Language", it could say "Contemporary cursing" or "Hate Speech". Or instead of "Intense Violence", it could split it into "Realistic" and "Fantasy". Things like that.
