exactly, anything that "kids" are told not to have will make them want it more. LIke alcohol - once they hit 21, a lot of people stop binge drinking cause its not rebel enough anymore. Should have rated the game E (everyone), sales would collapse. :p
 
Sweet! Since they are making a new version, I hope that doesn't mean just changing the box and instead means that they are finishing the sex scene stuff and making it part of the game!

Woot!
 
Pffff whatever, should be the parents responsiblity to monitor what their kids buy till their 18. After that, they can buy it legally and no one can bitch.
 
That's complete bullshit.

Even WITH The "hot coffee" shit it shouldn't have got an AO rating.

You see NOTHING but breasts, that's it. No gentila or anything.

God of war did fine and it had sex and breasts in it with an M rating.

I really hope this doesn't mean "nudity" is going to get any game an AO rating now, it's fucking ridicolus.

It's not so much making our kids safe that's important, it's stupid twats like hillary making themselves look important that's uh..important.

Actually, an AO rating can severely harm sales to games, because a lot of stores do not carry AO ratings.

Ao ratings are pretty much like Porn movies. You can't go to blockbuster and find porn and such, nor can you at wal-mart.

yes, you got to have sex and see breats, and that wasn't because of "hidden content/mods" either, it was in the game and rated with that known.

You can certainly get Showgirls at blockbuster and that is NC-17 (hollywood having dropped the XXX ratings scheme years ago). I'd venture to say that Blockbuster has several NC-17 movies in stock, (mostly in the foreign section... I'm...uh... told).

NC-17 is completely different from "porn" xxx movies.

I highly doubt you'd find Asian Street hookers at your local blockbuster, in the foreign section or not.

M ratings imo SHOULD be able to contain the type of things you find in R/NC-17 movies.
 
" OMFG T3H K1D0RZ R T3H S331NG B00BAHZ!!?!!one1!!!


T3H H0RR0RZ!


What? My kid downloads 40gigabytes of porn a week?


Thats different! This is a game we're talking about, I don't care if little timmy is watching Asian Bukkake Goddess shove live eels up their bums!

This is a video game for gods sakes! " - A-Typical ignorant American Parent.
 
I found hitman 2 more offensive, I didnt like the fact they put a guy pissing in the game then shaking dry. GT doesnt even show anything.
 
So does that make the version I have a "Collector's Edition"? :p I love Rockstar I just wish they'd stop having to take so much crap for making great games. I mean face it, if your kid can buy a videogame download and apply a patch/mod to that game to unlock "hidden" features, chances are they have already figured out how to use the internet to look up pornography. 18+ only... sounds familiar... oh yeah, definitely much better now.
 
i was just at gamestop and they were pulling all versions from the shelves. just going to let them sit in the back i guess. they can't sell the copies because of store policy i believe, same boat as wal-mart, no AO games. but rockstar isn't re-calling them, maybe we can give them out :p
 
if they're gonna make it adults only at least do it for a better reason, maybe all the brutal killing, or the racist lingo, not some stupid sex hack. Kids can see worse if they just watch some channels on cable on a friday night.

Anyone jerkoff to this game yet?

hahahah yeah that's some pretty steamy sex in there :p

Well, now they're gonna pull it off the shelves of Circuit City! BOohooo

I don't give a crap...already have the game.
 
I was in Future Shop today and the shelves were still stocked with copies that had the "M" rating, so apparently this is only applicable to the draconian United States.

Internet Retailers ++

This could actually get interesting...right now EB (in Canada), futureshop, staples, and walmart have a stranglehold on the gaming market. If a major internet retailor started up, with the intent of ONLY selling AO games, they might gain some market share from the larger corporations, and hopefully prices would come down for a bit while a price war was fought.

 
I think I'm going to test if CC, Gamestop, etc. will let a 15 year old buy M rated games. That would be really funny if I was able to buy San Andreas, then email the retailer that a 15 year odl bought an AO game. I just hope I don't get anyone who makes under $20 an hour at that store fired.

Back on topic, great going Hilary & every other braindead politician/"activist" out there. Something tells me that there are a whole lot more explicit sex scenes in about 1/4 of new movies hitting theatres, but I'm not gonna say anything unless I want to see NC-17 ratings show up in theatres :eek:.
 
I won't say I told you so, but the ESRB made the right choice.

I'm sounding like a broken record, but for the ESRB and for almost all developers, this whole Hot Coffee issue has never been about kids, Hillary or M vs. AO rating. It's always been making sure that what a game is ultimately rated, reflects what is really in the game. The ESRB has now set a precedent that original content put there by the developer regardless if it is locked, should be part of that content.

Y'all can whine about boobies are better than violence or what have you. Doesn't matter. The standards and guidelines have already been established. The ESRB is just following their own rules that the developers themselves helped established. What the ESRB has done has stated loud and clear that the rules matter, the ratings matter and they are taking care of things.

Understand that this move by the ESRB to re-rate the game fairly and accurately by their own rules (I can't stress it enough. Like it or not, that's the way it is. You can't change it.) actually helps keep Hillary away from the gaming industry. It's less likely now that the FTC or Congress will get involved.

The ESRB wins, the game industry as a whole wins. The only loser is Rockstar, who is now going to get stuck with unsold inventory; Best Buy and Wal-Mart not selling their game. Take-Two is going to have to go back and make a new gold master of the game and get it rerated if they want these retailers back.

That's not how game economics work. AO titles traditionally sell horribly and most larger corporations won't touch them. At best you'd be serving a niche market and end up being labeled as a porn site by most filters.

Could you make money? Sure, not sure how much though. But enough enough to start a price war. Nowhere close.
 
/me waits for the $200 ps2 "uncensored hot coffee RARE OOP" version of GTA:SA to pop up on eBay

So tell me, how come God of War got by just fine with an M rating?

It has sex and nudity. You see as much in it as in the hot coffee crap.

Nudity WAS fine for M rated games in the past and an "AO" rating was reserved more for pornographic games.
 
They should make a AO and M version, all companies should and sell the AO via d/l. Guess how many downloads it would get? It would get mine for sure.
