J-Max Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Purely to sell more games for the Developers. That's why the GTA series sells so well, throw a AO Rating on a game and it will sell guarenteed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilhorus Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 ESRB Sucks. I dont know the point. I mean, im in my store, and an 11 year old kid goes up to the couonter, and buys GTA Vice City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Germany. They have even worse game ratings than the ESRB. They have like eight levels, and they're considering making it [b']illegal[/b] for an underage to play games not in their age group.

OmegaWave Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 ESRB has never affected me. I seem to get around everything ESRB related. I was playing M Rated games when I was 5. Game Stores even let me buy games above my age limit. ESRB can do whatever the hell it wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeshooter Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 For the love of christ somebody finally noticed. In Canada, holy crap! You can buy any game you want! Just the other day I took my 8 year old cousin to Blockbuster. He bought GTA 4... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Slime Lord Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 In America, most stores only ID you when you buy M and AO rated games. (Not that there are any AO games on the current-gen consoles). I remember when I was going to turn 17 in about two months, Gamestop wouldn't let me buy MGS1-3. I somehow don't think one can mature significantly in two months time. XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Altair Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 lol XD Anyway here we don't really have anyone who cares about the ratings at all. it's just that the internet is somewhat controlled by the ESRB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akira Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 lol age ratings Since when did they stop any of us? In fact, all they do is promote piracy. Game wouldn't let me buy Quake 4, so I just downloaded it from TPB instead =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShinobiDark72 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 This is actually pretty funny... I rarely even play M rated games, in fact I only got My first one for last Christmas, at age 16.... the ESRB, and similar video game rating companies exist to protect the game makers from angry parents. I think I hit the nail on the head there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, it's region-locks that promote piracy, but that is a whole different issue all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♫Griffinsusername♫ Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 ESRB EvilSh*theadsRating Badly fix'd After you turn 13, it doesn't really matter. I've been mature enough to handle a lot of games for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jericho Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 First of all, the ESRB is very vauge in their ratings. Second, there is no reason to restrict the sale of games based on ESRB rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwIsTeD GaArA_95 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 in england (which i dont know if any of you are from) we use both the esrb and the film censorship rating so cuz im 13 that means uber failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Phoenix Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 My gamestop in Montana sold me anything I wanted lol. I was their best customer, now that I think about it. The thing I liked about them was that they actually played the games unlike the people at others stores I've been to. They even wrapped up a PS3 and held it under the counter and told people they were sold out, then gave it to me for christmas. Back on topic, the ESRB is a bunch of people that try to rate and classify things they don't know anything about. Their advice on games is equivalent to a gaming magazine written by a room full of soccer moms >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
