AO rated PS3 game?

I think the problem with rating games is the interactivity of them. Movies are not interactive, you watch them and listen to them. Games you take part in the story and what you do in the game can have an effect on other characters in it, which is why ratings are much more stringent in gaming.

It is probably a good thing, think about it, a PG-13 movie can be Live Free or Die Hard which has a lot of realistic violence and adult themes, but put that in a game and it is a totally different story as you are actually picking up a controller and making the guy do stuff and shoot people, crash cars etc... The more kids become desensitised to this stuff the worse off society will be. It is alright once to you are mature and developed enough to understand it is just a game but most minors aren't.

That right there is my main issue. The concern of content in video games arises when people worry about kids and minors playing them. The ESRB states themselves that Mature rated games are for 17+ but parents and many stores aren't too strict in enforcing it. If you're going to make a mature game then why do people get upset when children are exposed to it? There's a warning label on it.

That's a different issue entirely. Down to shitty parenting, shitty media reporting, shitty stores selling M-rated games to minors, shitty ESA blocking legislation to make it illegal to sell M-rated games to minors. Plenty of stuff. Really all the situation needs is for one of those groups to be responsible for the kids, and it should be the parents.

Might take a few years, but hopefully.

AO rated games can come out on the ps2 now that it's an open system to anyone and doesn't need sonys permission to release games. The only game i have ever seen receive and AO rating was Manhunt 2 and it was not released until it received an M rating because sony/nintendo/MS would not allow it on the system.

Well games are only given AO only if extreme events happen; like GTA SA with its hot coffee mode. the first wave of it is changed to AO. thats what AO is there for. mature games that are hacked and shown things that are indeed AO
