It's already rated M. I don't really care what they say about it as long as the game makers can still make them as they are and adults can still buy them as they are. #assassinscreedii
@Str8_Jihadin: Its literal meaning notwithstanding, "cazzo" has acquired more or less the same value as "fuck" in English, in the sense that you can insert it (bilingual penis joke, yay!) in just about any sentence or phrase.
A multifaceted, versatile word indeed.
I'm so happy my beautiful language will be showcased in such a, huh, "vibrant" way.
As for the soprano, she cries because it's just soooo good. It happens. ;) #assassinscreedii
@excel_excel: lol you demands moar sexxing up in your Mass Effect Deux!
Is it me, or could game developers get tangled up in some "outdoing the sex scene in your game" competition? If that is the case, Heavy Rain is going to be a digital porno by the time that gets around to release. #assassinscreedii
"During one "seduction mini-game," players are able to press buttons to kiss a woman and remove her dress; with the woman's back facing the camera, the two characters lower to bed and blow out a candle."
"So the whip or the paddle today?"
"page-boy fantasies"
Why gee, ESRB, thanks for making this a DAY XXX Purchase for me!
Also, grazie for teaching me some new dirty Italia swear words. Vive! #assassinscreedii
The complaint came from the 'Australian Council on Children and the Media' they key word there is "CHILDREN" meaning they are worried for people who are under 18. Btw Children aren't stupid my little brother watches and plays some of these games and he know whats right and whats wrong and seem to me he always picks the good guys.
Children aren't allow to buy cigarettes, alcohol, porn or gamble at a casinos because it deem not appropriate for them. So why can't we apply this to video games?
Hell I've read some books and seen some movies which have been way worst and pretty much most people under 18 can obtain them without any problems.
With the way things are going its like Australian classification board and the government is promoting piracy and importing which both will hurt Australia's economy.
Usually I would be swearing in this topic but I have accepted the fact that Australia fucking fails on this topic and this topic still exist because of that one fucking asshole from South Australia (attorney general Michael Atkinson) who vote against the idea of R18+ and is an idiot, just read what he once said.
"I have consistently opposed an R18+ classification for computer games. I am concerned about the harm of high-impact (particularly violent) computer games to children." #modernwarfare2
I really do appreciate that Kotaku warns of game spoilers before discussing them in their articles.
That being said, when the game was rated, chances are these scenes were noticed, right? Shouldn't the Australian board be aware of the game's content? Plus, this game isn't "promoting" the terrorist acts, but trying to evoke an emotional response in people, and make them feel like they're fighting for something.
Glad I don't live in Australia though. No L4D2, and possibly no MW2? I'd be OUT. #modernwarfare2
@Face Imploder:
I admit I've only glanced over the spoilerish territory in these articles, but it seems that the scene was explicitly mentioned in the report about the rating.
So they knew about it and deemed it appropriate for MA15+ rating (I assume because it would be classified as strong violence, high level themes, where themes seem to be a catch all term for things that might be distressing to viewers) #modernwarfare2
