Skyrim Needs To Earn That M Rating Thread 2

Post » Wed Sep 26, 2012 8:23 am

When you see M on a ESRB rating, you expect a game full of blood, violence, and no holds barred advlt content. Do you really get that from Skyrim?

I understand why Oblivion was a very mild game, since it wasn't actually meant to be M. But Skyrim should have picked up some of the pieces from Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and put some actual disturbing content in here. Stuff that makes you shiver and wish you'd never seen it before. More swearing, more grit.

A game shouldn't be M for Mature because it had killcams that make some crappy looking blood come out of a decapitated bandit. That's not all that advlt, in my opinion. You see worse in movies.

Where's the allusions to six? Where's the brutality? Where's the moments that make you absolutely despise a person for doing something inhumane to others.

No, I'm not calling for mindless violence that doesn't actually add to the game. Not for guts, and for some childish sixual humor. I'm looking for the M in Mature.

Don't tell me that the game was marketed towards a mass audience, because it wasn't. I remember in an interview a few months before release, they designed the game with an M rating in mind.

Your thoughts?

Apparently not.

It's not quite as graphic or profane as Fallout or New Vegas, but I maintain that it earns its M-rating. And more to the point, the game is what it is. No need to force unnecessary mature themes, gore, exposed genitalia, and F-words into it.

How? From what I saw in the other thread, most Bethesda fans were repeating necrophilia, decapitations and vampires over and over again without actually addressing how they were handled in the game.

No you haven't. The best posts in that thread were saying that Skyrim is childish and aimed at children.
