Ratings.

any ratings you don't like? say em here and why

finding it werid how a rating in one thing is different to another? i got all the rating systems here.

 

ok, here's the i'll put 4 in a row, this is the order,

BBFC (UK Flim) - PEGI (UK Game) - MPAA (USA Film) - ESRB (USA Game):

 

N/A - N/A - N/A - Ec

 

U - 3 - G - E

 

PG - 7 - PG - E10+

 

12 - 12 - PG13 - T

(or 12A, meaning no-one under 12 can see without an adult)

 

15 - 16 - R - M

 

18 - 18 - X - Ao

 

 

although this isn't entirely correct, because the UK rates much harsher than the USA.

 

for instance, final fantasy XIII is a T in america, but a 16 in UK.

which is stupid because it seems completely suitable for a 12 yr old for me.

1 mild swear word used a couple of times, and guns. and it's a 16?

 

discuss.

Well, there is attempted suicide and all...

 

But I agree, it shouldn't be rated that high.

 

Ratings freaking annoy me.

I live in a strict household and I'm not going to be allowed to get M games until I'm out of it. The ratings are understandable for the most part, but I wish that games came with a list of objectable material or something, rather than giving an M rating and saying "Too bad. You're too young for this game."

It depends on the person with how much they'll be affected, anyway.

I think FFX rating was a little high. T? It should of been E. and I was looking at the ratings on KH2 like: Mild Blood, Use of Alcohol and Violence and most T games have that It dosen't make sense!!

But those things were barely there.

They even toned down KH2 to get the E 10+ rating anyway.

Yeah, I remember the ESRB had originally rated it T. I still remember everyone being like "wtf, Kingdom Hearts rated teen!?" when the rating first came out for it. I can definitely see the T rating being reasonable for most all of the Final Fantasy games though, because of the plots.

well even with the first bit coded, nothing actually happened. although at first i thought it did (nice surprise there square enix).

 

and yh, my dad says when i'm 15, i can play SOME 15/16 rated games. others i won't be getting until i'm at college

 

i only sneaked FFXIII past my dad because T is meant to be 13, which i am.

 

but i am glad, my dad agreed that he'll definitely let me play higher rated games, when i am that age. he said if i can convince him some games are ok then i could get some a year early
