Actually, it's not reality at all.

I always considered the M rating for Mass Effect applying to the audience that would best appreciate the game rather than the age that it would be the appriopriate for that audience to have attained.

"Mature" is just "Teen with slightly less puritan parents". You'd need to rate "Adult" for what you suggest, and that really hurts the sales.

Most of us here are over 18 so i say that ME3 should be more mature (and by mature i mean ACTION, EXPLOSIONS AND SEX!). i was disappointed to see the romances had been dulled down and the devs kept saying its the "dark second chapter" or something like that and it didnt seem that dark to me. i want ME3 to be targeted to 18+

Only because most of the console teens don't frequent the forums I guess

This doesn't bother me so much as a story which makes you think, "ah now, that's deep and clever".

ME has plenty of action and explosions. On sex, it isn't exactly lacking, but it's not one of thoe Japanese hump games either. It's a space opera, not a porno.

[curly haired boy]

mass effect is designed by adults, for adults.



it already contains appropriate amounts of violence, sex, and language for its genre and audience.

[RuthlessGravity]

Well you don't want Mass Effect 3 to turn into Grand Theft Auto IV in terms of ratings - do you? There's a point where you are trying to make an adult story with adult characters without trying to shoot it down by adding tons of cussing with gratuitous amounts of violence and sex.

[SimonTheFrog]

I think its hilarious that ACTION, EXPLOSIONS AND SEX! is considered mature ^^



I see what you mean, but here i was, thinking that mature means ambiguous moral decisions, deep and complex relationships, believable and well-constructed political, economical and social back-ground lore etc...

I think M's appropriate not because it's especially explicit, but because most people under 18 can't appreciate it.

Definitely. If you look at, say, Call of Duty 4, the violence/gore isn't even remotely excessive (possibly to the point of being less than realistic), and that's nearly all that would give it its M rating. However, the story is dark, the atmosphere is oppressive, and the whole tone is simply something kids wouldn't understand. I wouldn't want to see most underage kids playing Call of Duty 4 or Mass Effect 2 because they simply wouldn't fully grasp the gravity and consequences of the settings.

Gore, sex, swearing, and so on does not make a game mature. The sort of mind needed to fully understand the developer's intended depiction makes a game mature.

Actually it is ... thats why there rated for age duh you cant read?

*sigh*

Yes I'm quite capable of reading. 
More so that it appears you are capable of writing, considering the fact that your first post starts sentences without capital letters (twice), misses out apostrophes (at least three times), and uses the word "where" instead of the word "we're".

Generally I'm not so petty, and usually I don't respond to people who use alphanumeric emoticons and cretinous words like duh in their sentences, but seeing as how your topic is petitioning for a game to include more mature content whilst you continue to conduct yourself like a child and "throw truth out there" to the rest of us, I find it ironic enough to reply to you.

You are calling for more action pack (another gramatical error, it should be packed) killing, more gore, more violence, and I assume a more graphic depiction of sex in these games.  If this is really what you want, I suggest that you're probably playing the wrong game.

Bioware designed the story, the combat, and the romances to be what they are in order to cater to a fan base who generally prefer story over in-your-face blood spurts and chainsaws.  The design process was completed, and then it was rated by the ESRB as M.  You're just going to have to deal with that.

This IP's level of violence and romance is fine the way it is.

If you want sex, there's plenty of places online you can find it
(assuming you clear your internet history afterwards, we wouldn't want your parents
finding out would we?), and if you want gore/violence, try Gears of
War.

This.

M is just a rating that allows the devs to do what they want with the game, short of really explicit sex. It's not an obligation to go all-out with violence and gore.

[digby69]

I think ME1 was more "adult" than ME2 and in my opinion Me2 was tamed down a bit, less relistic sex and the human blood not being red.



But then the game is made by americans (yes I know Bioware is Canadian so dont shoot me) but EA is american and from my stilted british view point you yanks do seem to get paranoid about sex and violence in video games. Where over here they just stick a Cert18 on it and job done.



I am right in that in the USA a game or film rated M is not the same as the UK cert18?

ESRB have a rating above M, it's AO for adults only.  I assume that's their equivalent to our 18.

Thought so, I'm sure I read somewhere that stores like Mallwart wont sell AO games or films.
