From Wired:
The Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB; not to be confused with INRI) gave the finger to a "T for Teen" rating for Fallen Earth, an MMO/FPS-hybrid thingy that's apparently set in a post-apocalyptic Grand Canyon. There's no sex in the game, and it's not about the violence, either. They broke out the "M for Mature" branding iron because the game apparently has a surplus of corpses strewn about:
Makes sense to me.
We have a mission where you go cut this guy’s face off and give it to somebody so he can make a boot out of it, because he wants to walk on the guy’s face[.]Alrighty then.

'There’s one town that’s literally hung with 200 corpses,' said the game’s lead designer Lee Hammock while demoing the game at E3. 'The (ESRB) was like, 'That’s too many corpses. You hit your limit.''So, it's the implied violence that makes the game inappropriate for 13 to 17 year-olds, rather than the actual violence (like gathering the raw materials for a face-boot) portrayed during gameplay.
Makes sense to me.
I don't think Andy should play this game.
ReplyDeleteIt could stunt his growth and possibly lead to some serious mental conditions in his future....
Andy, stay away from this game !
As for the rating issue, it sounds Mature to me.
Speaking of mature, I'm looking for some Mature Milfs ...
