Would an "M" rating stop you from getting Halo
OP DevilV2290
No but a game that doesn't play like Halo would.DevilV2290 wrote:Real talk....I want Flood back
I was a kid when I got Halo.... M ratings don't stop the majority....we adults have more money to spend than little Timmy. Karen is a -Yoink-....this is the truth and the way of Craig.XplosivBolts wrote:I don't think an M rating would stop anyone from getting Halo except possibly little kids.

M ratings don't stop little kids from getting games these days. It is 2020 and parents don't care about ratings under R rated.XplosivBolts wrote:I don't think an M rating would stop anyone from getting Halo except possibly little kids.

Exactly. Look at how well COD games sell each year lol.ADeadlyFlamingo wrote:Absolutely not. I'm not sure why 343 decided to go the T route with their Halo games when R rated films and M games sell incredibly well. I feel a disconnect in really any shooter that isn't rated M (besides the obvious cartoony games). Why? Because reality is very dark and mature. In my opinion any game like this that's rated T is essentially changing reality to fit it's own agenda to be courteous to a very young consumer. For that reason, I'll always feel some kind of disconnect to the game that tries to change reality.
There's more T rated games out there then M rated. Definitely with Microsoft's new line-up of games for Xbox Series X.LarsBars wrote:I'm happy that it's T. There are plenty of M rated games out there. Halo's focus has NEVER been on being extremely gory/sexual/language whatever. The amount of blood and the flood probably got the early games the M rating, but I'm happy with T.
And pokemon is rated e yet its a ton of adults playing it xD. Gotta love the paradox thereSparhawk122 wrote:Exactly.

do kids seriously have the attention span to play something like that? It took me like 3 or 4 months to beat the story for that gameSparhawk122 wrote:Red Dead Redemption 2 is rated R yet a tonne of kids play it.blazing hellion wrote:And pokemon is rated e yet its a ton of adults playing it xD.

Considering how many also play GTA 5 Online and will play Cyberpunk 2077 and play The Witcher 3.blazing hellion wrote:do kids seriously have the attention span to play something like that?

Exactly, I don't feel parents are the same as back in the day regarding how their video games/films are rated for their kids. Society has become way more adept to mature content over the past couple decades. Look at all the violence/language you see on social media, people didn't have the ability to see these things on a daily basis 20 years ago.Sparhawk122 wrote:Exactly.

I only watched The Walking Dead when it was good. The days that Rick was still around. Now it has devolved into a cringefest of dumb millenial characters who constantly display poor decision making in scenarios they should already be highly experienced in; and already know how to overcome.ADeadlyFlamingo wrote:Exactly, I don't feel parents are the same as back in the day regarding how their video games/films are rated for their kids.

To be honest, I have no idea why the game can't have the blood AND be rated T. Has anybody every watched 1 episode of The Walking Dead? Incredibly gory and it's on television.
