Hey,


Do you think the ESRB and other Rating System actually help partents make better chocies? Do you think they actually a good idea, or just waste of time?

Not sure if this should be in the Arena, but oh well.

I have no problem with them, and yes they are useful as a general guide to how suitable a game's content is for children.

[Caius]

My parents doesnt check that.
Its useless

[doc_bean]

They allow society to blame the parents for getting their children violent games everytime those scream for censorship.

I think it's good. It's taken awhile for parents to catch on to the rating system, but it now seems to be helping. I now regularly see parents checking the ratings of games before they buy them. Of course, there are still irresponsible parents out there- but that can't be helped.

So,me being almost 15 years old, some of you may say people liek Me or Caius for example should have our partents check the ratings, though we at that Age of Knowning What is Right and What is Wrong?

To Me, Being over 18 really doesn't make you exempt from trying to act like your character in Grand Theif Auto. I read stories of how both underage 16 year old kids, and 24 year old adults took sniper postions on a bridge, and snipe off a person or two.


Ratings are for partents who want to watch their young kids. I will say, My mom check the ratings for my games from when i was 7 or 8, till I was about 11, then she stop. Why? When I hit 12, I started to do Rated M games, but I know it was jsut a game, and should not try to do that stuff in Real Life. Period.

Like I said, it's for partents who don't want their young kids to view that stuff,which isn't anything wrong with that,but when you hit a certain age, the Rating system,like Caius said, Is useless..
