Gaylo 5 is Rated T

Luis · August 05, 2015, 10:15:27 AM

Should've been that in the first place.

Why does every halo related thread end up with an argument

Because halo is literally cancer.

You guys are making the argument that this will make kids play Halo.

Kids literally play 3 games, get shit on, and go back to COD. Kids these days want to be handed kills.

Not a single person made this argument. At least two people, me included, stated explicitly that we're already well-aware that kids these days will play Halo regardless of its ESRB rating. The ESRB is useless.

Do I like that little kids play these games? Not really. I can't stop them, but I can try to urge parents to be mindful of what they allow them to play. If you honestly think your kid is mature enough to handle games like Halo and Call of Duty, then have at it. But personally, I wouldn't let my eight-year-old play pretty much any M-rated games.

Halo could be so much better if it was I dunno darker, although I don't really think you can convey the suffering in war through a video game. Plus they need to keep it teen friendly or else sales will drop

You can do it in a movie decently well. I don't see why a game couldn't pull it off.

Didn't one CoD game have a Russian roulette scene at one point?

The first Gears of War almost does it. The story isn't all that great but the atmosphere makes up for it. When you look at the destruction it makes you think the humans have no hope at all and it's a greatly depression world.

fucking DROPPED

GOD they fucking RUINED the franchise

Batch · August 06, 2015, 12:10:35 AM

To the argument. ....you know kids can't go ahead and buy these games. The parents are the ones exposing their kids.

And too weak to resist a child's tantrum.

How many of us played Halo CE or Halo 2 before we were 18?

Everyone?

K then

why

Verbatim · August 06, 2015, 09:55:46 AM

Because like I said, I tried to abide by the ESRB when I was a kid. I was willing to play rated-T games when I was too young for them, but rated-M was pushing it.

in other words, i was responsible and i actually gave a shit

Girl of Mystery · August 06, 2015, 10:01:11 AM

You can be responsible if you play games above your age rating

Verbatim · August 06, 2015, 10:13:13 AM

Which is what I did with games rated T.

M was stretching it. Besides, I knew that I wasn't going to be able to understand the plot very well.
So why the fuck would I want to play them.

The fact that you can't see why a kid wouldn't want to play a game designed for adults is pretty braindead.

You think I gave a fuck if it was?

and also, no it's not

CK97 · August 06, 2015, 10:26:29 AM

ESRB is a flawed system anyway. It bases ratings off of age rather than maturity, granted, it's nearly impossible to rate stuff out of maturity. Age doesn't determine whether someone is ready to handle the type of content a game has, maturity does.

Verbatim · August 06, 2015, 10:35:05 AM

I'm not saying I was right for following the ESRB when I was a kid. I just don't think it's complicated as to the reasons why. I didn't like to watch rated-R movies when I was a kid, either--because I knew that they weren't for me.

As I said on the first page--I don't even care about it anymore. As far as I'm concerned, what games a kid plays should be left up to his or her parents.

You are a strange man indeed....but you are most certainly right on that last part. It's your responsibility as a parent to decide and enforce what is appropriate for your child, not the responsibility of companies.
The ESRB is garbage anyway, there's double standards everywhere. Halo has nothing worse that Metroid Prime yet one is rated M and the other is T. And E10 was such a contrivance.

Coco · August 06, 2015, 03:12:57 PM

Reminder that this game was rated T. You annihilate giant ant monsters and collect their heads.

Well, Halo also has cursing and (obviously) more realistic, mature themes. Not to mention real guns.
