Re: what's with you people?

In Response To: Re: what's with you people? (noddy99) : You're twisting my words, here, Configure. I said that I didn't like that : Bungie was pushing for a Teen rating (even though, as Darkman pointed out, : there will be some degree of blood and swearing). I did not say that a : game without blood and gore must suck. you said you didn't like oni because it didn't have blood in it. you said you weren't happy about halo having a teen rating instead of a mature rating. do the math. : As to thinking Halo would be seamless or massively multiplayer... Bungie had : originally said things to the likeness of seamlessness but then scrapped : it because it wasn't working out. And I don't think anyone ever thought : the game was an MMOG. you should have been here a few months after halo was announced. half the board thought it was gonna be massively-multiplayer. when bungie announced what the gameplay was actually like, numerous posters here, on rampancy, at halocenter, at haloplayers, and at numerous non-halo-related gaming sites began posting furiously that bungie hadn't delivered what they promised or some bullshit like that. : I've never heard of a store that prohibits kids from buying games. There is : no law concerning it, though there has been lots of talks and pressure to : do so. i don't know when last you checked but there are laws in effect now prohibiting sales of m-rated games to persons under the age of seventeen. see my posts below. I know a guy who used to work at Electronics Boutique who once : prevented a seven year old from purchasing a copy of Resident Evil 2. The : child left the store and came back with an enraged father who demanded to : know why his child wasn't allowed to purchase the video game. My friend, : unsettled but not deterred, informed the man that the game was rated : Mature, which is very similar to a movie being rated R, and there is : material contained in the subject matter that is deemed unsuitable for : children younger than age 17. My friend was then informed by the man that : he didn't give a damn about the rating and that he was no longer going to : pleasure the franchise with his business as he stormed out the door, child : in hand. you know, it's funny because i read about this incident in the letters column of electronic gaming monthly a few months back. bzzzzt, plagarism one, originality zero. way to go, einstein. : Ironically, on another occasion my friend did allow a copy of House of the : Dead 2 to be purchased by a twelve year old boy whose mother stormed in : afterwards demanding to speak to the manager. from the aforementioned letter. : However, as stated in my previous post, I believe that by pushing for a Teen : rating Bungie is able to reach a larger demographic and therefore sell : more copies. yeah... so what do they gain by pushing for a mature rating? nothing; therefore why are you bitching? : All of your accusations were rather unfounded, and I think you need to think : about what you write before you actually write it. i think you need to write your own material instead of copying it from others.
