Seriously. What's the point of having a AO rating if you're never going to use it?

I bought my Wii for two reasons: Next-Gen Zelda action and virtual chiving

Well, until any of the console companies start allowing AO games on their platforms anyway, its a moot point

of course, i suppose thats the point that this post is trying to make. If the retailers are more willing, the console companies might be more willing, but then again, they may not

Electronic pornography? Is that when people have sex with electrical sockets or something?

Yeah I wish everyone (retailers, the big 3 console homies, parents, etc.) would just grow up and let the ESRB do its damn job.

I want the AO version of Condemned 2. Point me towards the petition asking GameStop to allow the sell of AO games and I'll sign it.

"I can't say that we would have supported it at AO, and I can't say that we won't."

...the Hell? It's no wonder business people have to go to college. Where else are you going to learn to sound so good at sounding so dumb?

Sounds sorta like partially trying to save face, can't hurt them to say this, gives them "street cred" and crap since, as seen, a lot of people would stand behind them and say "Yeah! least you guys aren't pussies!" Even if they never intend on doing it.

you know what's funny? My parents are the type who see video games as a waste of time, and would not buy a console for their kids that even LET adult games on it. But then I'm 31, and my youngest sibling is 24, are there even parents out there like that who have kids too young to just buy it themselves? I mean we fully in the atari if not the nintendo generation's adulthood. I would think that all the game manufacturers and reatilers would realize that the people most loudly railing about the "filth" in videogames are probably not going to be buying them anyway, or at least are familiar enough with videogames to not blindly be buying them right? I have a hard time imagining any of my peers mounting a crusade against a game company for selling manhunt 2 as AO. Most of my peers, while not maybe buying it for their children, probably have a game system themselves.

Look at it this way, our buddy JT the bigggest Jack off in the (anti) gaming world has a 15 year old son, right? I'd be willing to bet he doesn't have ANY games, and therefore they aren't losing a sale there, and even so, in 3 years, he could play whatever teh hell he wanted.

The ones who are really sad are in places like germany, where the gov't tells its adult citizens they are not able to handle certain themes. Now THAT's just pathetic.

Yes, but Generation Y is the most politically disconnected of any Generation

The older people, who may still be averse to this, are still in almost total control of the democratic process

I can't wait until the day I can walk into a GameStop and buy a copy of Tokimeki Check-in!

(Yes, I had to look up the list of AO-rated games on ESRB. And why'd I pick this one? Title sounded amsuing)

AO sounds terrific, its only a rating to me. If they make AO games online it could easily help weed out the annoying kids that get on.

Besides there's more AO/NC-17/TVMA/XXX content available on the internet, easily avaialble than ever before. Just type in any girl name in a Google image search, you're bound to get a naked pic. :D

"Gamestop doesn't sell the games because companies don't make the games because Gamestop doesn't sell the games is a simplified version of the formula."


Circular logic proves itself, how could it be wrong!?

Saying they'll take it on a case-by-case basis still won't make a blind bit of difference because publishers aren't going to risk them turning round and saying 'no thanks'. All it does, and all I expect it was intended to do, is paint Gamestop in a better light without actually changing a damn thing,

I don't understand the need for a separate rating for 17 and 18. The human mind does not develop enough in the span of this single year to justify that one set of games be allowed and another be banned.

I realize that much of this has to do with laws relating to viewing pornography, and in that case why don't we just merge M and AO into one rating that begins at 18+?

Or just sell all the damn things. Games are ridiculously violent as it is and vaginas aren't going to make them any less immoral and sadistic than they already are (not that I have a problem with this).

Why can I go into a store and buy an unrated edition of every raunchy / horror movie ever made, but zero Ao games :P
