MKX vs. ESRB [Will it make it?]

[TheTetraSpirit]

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.

 

[Ray'sGoodLiquor]

I would hate for them to tone the game down just for people that have babysitters for a government.

 

[Eric The Scruffy]

That sounds really really odd. So if mk 9 isnt rated AO then what is?

The odd exception aside, typically games that depict graphic sex. The US has a very backward attitude towards sex and violence.

All I can say is

I've always wanted a fatality for Cage, where he chops your throat forcing your mouth open, then, punches your balls, rips them off then breaks your jaw wide then shoves the balls down your throat, then snaps your neck!! lol

What the fuck dude lmao!

 

[xenogorgeous]

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

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.

What the fuck dude lmao!

LOL sorry didnt mean to disturb you hahahaha

I'm sure NRS is far more aware of this than anyone else. They've been down this road before, 9 times.

Technically MK1 doesn't count since esrb came afterwards

 

[SonicBoomBrad]

They'd lose hella money if it was AO, they won't let that happen. Calm down.

RIP in peace Australia

God of War has tits, ripping neck skin, dismemberment, face pulverizing, torture, and all other forms of bodily mutilation. I think MKX will be fine.

Lol theyre going to go thru that all over again....think germany will ban again too? Lol

Hmm Maybe loveality? Where they get friendly? Lol nvm can picture sub and scorp lol

Mk1 and doom were pretty much responsible for the ESRB

 

[trufenix]

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.

 

[AK elitegoomba]

if the south park game can slip under AO, I'm sure mkx can lol

 

[Eldriken]

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!!
