Re: What Does "Rated M" Mean To You?

Well, I'm 13, and I can't convince my mom to even let me play Halo (yet) at other peoples houses  tongue  Different rated M games have different levels of inappropriateness to younger audiences. Have you seen the very first level for call of duty 5 (world at war)? Their is an F-word in the first 3 minutes. Thats a game for people 17+. What about Grand Theft Auto? That shouldn't even be a game. Couldn't the makers of that game think of a better thing to be in a game than a criminal? And I'm sure their have been 10 year olds playing stuff like that, next thing you know, there thinking "When I grow up, I'm gonna be a criminal like Al Capone!". Anyway, I think the meaning of M can vary. Some rated M games, like Halo, are just bloody, which apparently doesn't bother most kids, with nothing much else bad. Other games, like that western game I keep seeing ad's for on You tube, have everything that comes with a rated R movie: Violence, Language, Nudity, *other stuff*, Drugs. Most of the time though, just to rap it up, for me M means around 14 and up. p.s. I'm not good at articles like this  tongue

Re: What Does "Rated M" Mean To You?

God people take the rating system so seriously. It's only the guidence. The only thing that this is that it has some "no ID, no sale" thing like they have on the wine bottles.

M means mature. (I love the deep voice when watching trailers) but that's the guidence. People may see it as a 15, some a 21, though that would be too far.

*clears throat* rated M for Mature.

The F word? Seriously, have you seen people these days, most people 2 years younger than me say it. That is no reason to make it 17+

Re: What Does "Rated M" Mean To You?

M means nothing to me. I can handle violence, swearing and other themes younger than 18.

Tbh, I think most people in their teens, (e.g. me) are mature enough.

People say that if you play shooting games you'll grow up and shoot someone. That's just stupid. They're acting like I don't have any maturity or common sense. It annoys me.

Re: What Does "Rated M" Mean To You?

Personally, I think alot of M games should be rated T. Alot of them aren't that bad [Like (most of) Fable... Unless... I'm just gonna stop there.]

I hate the people who say that -_- I play shooters, but the only reason I'd shoot a real person is for self-defense.

Re: What Does "Rated M" Mean To You?

Look, here's what I don't understand. How come parents let there kids play rated M games, but not let them watch rated R movies? I mean letting there 10 year olds play rated M and not watch R movies. I understand most rated M games aren't nearly as bad as most rated R movies, but some still are. So which do you think is worse, watching people pretend to kill each other, or being the one who pretends to kill people? You decide.

Okay that I agree with. If you play a rated M game I don't think people will grow up as murderers. But 10 year olds playing Grand Theft Auto just sounds a little over the top.

I think "M" means a really creep-o game, with lots of innapropriate pictures and zombie-killing and stuff like that. I play guitar hero, but thats "T".

Then you clearly haven't seen what rated M stuff really is.

I know. I'm trying to get Okami if my mom doesn't take the rating so seriously.

I think that only mature people should play them. I hate when I hear at school, "My dudes head got blasted off!!!!" I'm thinking, you shouldn't even be playing that game and now I know why.

My parents are a little strict, but not really if you take 18+ to heart. I was at my friend's house, and hew was playing COD, and I was like, I'm not supposed to play this, and he wouldn't stop. He might be a good friends at school, but I'm saying no next time he invites me.

i have been in the exact same position.
