I'll say it for you. She is bored so she is masturbating...not really a joke.

I think the new measure by the ESRB is retarded. It adds even more cost to the already insane cost of development. It is like if a movie was made and there was some sex scene made but they cut it out to get a lower rating. The scene was made and it could be stolen and put out on the net. It should get the X rating because of that. It makes no smurfing sense and is a waste of time and money.

Mod or modification is a term generally applied to computer games, especially first-person shooters and real-time strategy games. Mods are made by the general public, and can be entirely new games upon themselves. They can include new items, weapons, characters, enemies, models, modes, textures, levels, and story lines. They also usually take place in unique locations. They can be single-player or multiplayer.

Just to clarify. A game modification entails an edition to the original code by a third-party. The mini game was produced by Rockstar Games. All models, items, and characters are property of Rockstar Games. The PC and PS2 versions of the game require you to unlock existing code within the game and not actually modify any of the code itself. The PS2 version of the game runs the mini game off the DVD and not off RAM, like it would have to if it was a third-party modification.

Its a modification because you add code to the game to access an inaccessible part of the game. By adding code to access something you have modified it. Any gameshark or AR code modifies the game. The mini game code is there but being able to access it requires code to unlock that section there for it is a mod.

The mini game itself is not a modification. That's what I'm trying to get at here. It doesn't matter if you need a crack, a mod, a patch (or whatever you want to call it) to unlock the mini game, Rockstar and Rockstar alone produced the mini game and own it.

An AO dang how many have achieved that? I mean hey parents don't look at the rating usually I mean I know someone who thought Halo was a game about angels.

Once again, people prove their stupidity by treating a device used mostly by adults like a child's toy.

Ab-so-friggin-lutely. If they're gonna rate GTA:SA "AO" because of a superficial sex scene (let alone one that can only be accessed via third-party means), they might as well start rating movies such as Body of Evidence and Desperado and Never Talk to Strangers with a big fat "X"!
The only reason they're being harder on games is because they still are refusing to acknowledge that not all games are intended for children to begin with. 17-yr-olds see much more on TV and in the movies than any game could manage to duplicate. Just because some parents are stupid enough to ignore the "M" rating's warning that it's only suitable for 17+ doesn't mean that the game should pay the price when they suddenly find it's unsuitable for their kids.

I'm sick of this "rating" system anyway. I don't like them on movies, TV, OR games. This doesn't do anything but piss me off even more.

God, this was on the news. Sad. :/

Jesus Christ. Hilary Clinton just needs to get laid. :rolleyes2


:D

She's the reason people can say "stupid liberals" and get away with it! :mad2:

Well, she's one of the main reasons.

There shouldn't be a seperate R and NC-17, either. Who wants to go see a movie with intercourse with their parents anyway?

And it's the first console game to be rated AO. Lots of PC games, since no one can tell them they can't make them.

People need to get a grip. Its a video game for crying out loud. I'm sure half the people here havent seen anything more disturbing in their lifetimes, and people who put the restrictions on GTA:SA have a real anal problem. If children get the game, thats their parents responsibility
