MKX vs. ESRB [Will it make it?]

Wait whats the age for M in america? Im really curious now because if mk 9 wasn't R18 or whatever adult rated system you have thats pretty nuts.
M-rated games require you to be 17.
AO requires 18, if it were to ever be released, so it's a pretty negligible difference really.

I don't care I'm not a competitive player anymore
I would hate for them to tone the game down just for people that have babysitters for a government.

.... they mostly come at night. Mostly.
if no boobs appear in the game ... yeah ;)

in MK games you can skin someone alive and it's OK, but it's immoral to show battle damage cleavages .... so MKX will make it through ESRB, don't worry :D

The odd exception aside, typically games that depict graphic sex. The US has a very backward attitude towards sex and violence.
Haha nah man here in new zealand there are so many games rated R16 or R18 that really shouldn't be. I mean halo reach is rated R16 when a game like dark souls 2 is R13.

No tits, no torture, and no children they should be fine. You'll note they'be made significant effort to refer to Ferra as a lady, not a girl or child.

Even so they'll censor it if they get the AO in the states. They lose just about every domestic retailer if they launch with an AO, which is essentially the end of your game sales.

They're probably already having talks with esrb about it even if they can't formally submit until content lock.

If Splatterhouse for the PS3/360 could pass with an M rating, so can this game.

I mean, in that game, you literally punched an enemy in its asshole and ripped out its innards.


Skip to 1:30 to see what I mean.
 
Just to make a statement, the South Park game was Refused classification in Australia. Our Australian brothers might have to skip out on MKX.

We will all still play it casually by importing it like we did in mk9 but it would suck cause that would mean that we won't be able to advertise MKX related events and tournaments! Really hope it doesn't get banned!!
