ESRB Rating summary enough to make me buy F:NV

Post » Tue May 10, 2011 4:01 am

Don't know if this has previously been discussed but, has anyone seen a more appealing rating summary than Fallout: New Vegas?


Rating: Mature

Content descriptors: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, sixual Content, Strong Language, Use of Drugs

Rating summary:
This is an action role-playing game, set in a post-apocalyptic Mojave Desert, in which players assume the role of a survivor hero who investigates a mystery and performs a series of quests. Missions allow players to explore the Mojave Desert, surrounding casinos, and abandoned facilities; other quests involve combat with human and mutant survivors. Players use chainsaws, laser rifles, knives, and sledgehammers to kill enemies. Fighting can be frenetic and intense, highlighted by various camera effects (e.g., slow motion, blurring, screen shakes) and depictions of dismemberment, blood spray, and blood trails. In one sequence, players can choose to activate a collar bomb around a slave-woman's neck, resulting in depictions of blood and gore. During the course of the game, players will encounter male and female prosttutes: the screen fades to black as suggestive dialogue is heard in the background (e.g., "Nice charlies, too! Give them a shake for the Ben-man, will ya?"); there is also an extended sequence suggesting (no depiction) sixual activity with a robot (e.g., "Fisto reporting for duty . . . Please assume the position," "I suppose I should test you out . . . Servos active!" and "Something wrong with someone if they got to [censored] a machine."). The storyline sometimes references a fictional drug called "chems," as well as "Day Trippers," "cracked out junkies," and "degenerate, drug-addicted killers." Players' Character can be seen consuming the drugs, which sometimes leads to a screen-blurring effect.

Considering you don't actually have to shoot anything, I think action RPG is still valid.

Wait, what? It's either an action RPG or a shooter RPG, but it's not at all a pure shooter.
Durr, misread. But they can be as detailed as they want to in that description, really.

Its an RPG...period. A full on, all the bells and whistles RPG. In fact its more in depth than any game you probably consider to be a true RPG. Plus classifications don't matter but get it right.

EDIT: I apparently can't count.

Personally, I wouldn't mind a little partial nudity, but apart from that I'm good.

The ESRB is full of crusty old farts that wouldn't know why we like Fallout games if we put it on a neon sign and smacked them. :P
