God of War has a mini-game where you actively participate in the action of sex, pressing the right buttons arouses the woman you're pleasuring and rewards you with more red orbs.
Now exactly how is Rockstar getting a load of complaints about a hidden option in a game, when God of War has that as an open, and easily accessible mini-game?
It's all a lot of rubbish, and the people who want to make the world "safe for our children" have been looking for a chance to jump on Rockstar whenever and wherever possible.
God forbid that PARENTS take responsibility for the actions of their children, it's always the fault of TV/Movies/Video Games/Peer Pressure.
That'd be too easy.
I've still have yet to unlock the code for that part of the game
You're exactly right that parents should take the responsibility. However, the two cases really are different. In God of War, you don't actually SEE the action taking place. All you see is the vase tottering back and forth when you press the right buttons. Plus, there's the fact that Rockstar didn't reveal that this was in the game. Of course, it wasn't supposed to be accessible, but it was there nevertheless. Doesn't mean I agree with all the people outraged over this, but God of War's sex minigame is just different enough not to warrant an AO rating, I'd say.Originally Posted by Lindy
I love how people over-react any time they hear news....
People, Clockwork Orange was given an X rating when it came out. Did that stop people from seeing it? No. That's not the point of ratings. The point of ratings is to give people a frame of reference as to the content of the media itself. Using this, parents can make vaguely more well informed decisions, and people with easily upset stomachs can avoid things they'd rather not see.
You can relax, life will go on, it's only a video game.

Heres an email i got from rockstar after i emailed about the ao rating thing:
Dear Sir/Madam
Thank you for contacting Rockstar Technical Support.
Rockstar Games has ceased manufacturing of the current version of the title
and will begin working on a version of the game with enhanced security to
prevent the "hot coffee" modifications. This version will retain the
original ESRB M-rating and is expected to be available during the fourth
fiscal quarter. Rockstar Games will be providing AO labels for retailers
who wish to continue to sell the current version of the title.
Take-Two and Rockstar Games have always worked to keep mature-themed video
game content out of the hands of children and we will continue to work
closely with the ESRB and community leaders to improve and better promote a
reliable rating system to help consumers make informed choices about which
video games are appropriate for each individual's. The ESRB's decision to
re-rate a game based on an unauthorized third party modification presents a
new challenge for parents, the interactive entertainment industry and
anyone who distributes or consumes digital content. Rockstar Games is
pleased that the investigation is now settled and they look forward to
returning their focus to making innovative and groundbreaking video games
for a mature audience."
The scenes depicted in the "hot coffee" modification are not playable in
the retail version of the game unless the user downloads and/or installs
unauthorized software that alters the content of the original retail
version of the title, representing a violation of Take-Two and Rockstar's
end user license agreement (EULA) and intellectual property rights. We are
deeply concerned that the publicity surrounding these unauthorized
modifications has caused the game to be misrepresented to the public and
has detracted from the creative merits of this award winning product.
Rockstar Games will be making available shortly a downloadable software
patch to render Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for PC impervious to the "hot
coffee" modification. Rockstar encourages parent groups and political
leaders to assist with distribution of the patch to prevent the content of
the modification from spreading further.
Please be sure to delete all previous correspondence when replying. This
will help us to process your response in a more timely and efficient manner.
Kind Regards,
Rockstar Technical Support
I don't need the hot coffee mod to see sex, i have a computer.
