Enjoy!

THAT'S what the sex thing in GTA looks like?! An AO rating when there isn't any skin involved. What the hell? Great peice, by the way.

[Schimid]

Nah, the actual mini-game itself shows the woman fully naked. I think.

I'm gonna sell my M-Rated San Andreas in about twenty years. Should net me a couple thousand million dollars.

[Ninjavenom]

What the fuck is the point of an M rating AND an AO rating? That's unbearably redundant.

[Dr. Boogie]

The minigame does show a woman naked in most cases, but that's one of the minigame scenes as well.

Two perfectly justified ratings seeing how they are two completely seperate demographics. You get to smoke too.

[Dr. V]

Damn it, the Cartman effect is working. Now I want it really bad!!

[MetalMilitia]

Very witty article it must be said.

I think it's meant to be the same difference between an R and an X rating, tho I'm pretty sure a crude semi-clothed simulation of fucking is not X-rated. I've seen more graphic things in R rated movies.

Frankly, I think they ought to just use the same system as the MPAA - G, PG, PG13, R, and NC17. I guess that's what the idiots who can't figure out the ESRB ratings have to have.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you should give the video games your kids are playing the same kind of attention that you give to the food your kids are eating.

i think the people outraged by this "issue" are the same ones who give their kids mcdonalds, pizza, or whatever they ask for 5 nights a week, anyway.

[Schwinny]

I love how no one ever blames the parents on PARENTING issues. Isn't the parents duty to know what their kids are doing or do they just sit there and play the game with the kid?

[SUFFER]

the girl is definitely naked
for those of you that havent seen this yet you can see a video here

its absolutely ridiculous

and most parents in america seem to more ignorant then there children , they seem to let everything else raise their children then jump in and bitch about something every once and a while

then they wonder why there kids do drugs later on .

p.s. fuck censorship , and assholes that are to stupid to read things or just use common sense

people like that are the reason drain-o says "do not ingest"

they should be all round up and and sent down a slip and slide right into a wood chipper

have a nice day

[King Hadas]

Thats a little harsh SUFFER, there only trying to protect their children

[kahljorn]

Yea, I'm outraged by your senseless use of violence. At least pent it up inside until you're about to explode and kill your entire family and feast on their flesh and blood, then go make a video game or something.

[Chojin]

i like how in the video that suffer posted, the girl's armpits are two black squares.

are there any free nations left? ;<

Yeah, but why "ruin" it for everyone else. If someone else wants to enjoy it, then why don't parents just stop their kids from playing it?

[Dr. V]

I agree with Schwinny. Why are game makers getting heat because kids are playing their games without parental involvement, but Hollywood can market an R rated movie to kids and no one thinks twice? It's because the gaming industry is fairly new and, of course, "The Man" has to slam it because he, or she (Hillary), doesn't like the people who play games and doesn't take it seriously as a legitimate art form. Have any of you played Grandia 2? Better than any movie or book I've ever come across.

[Helm]

watch better movies and read better books

[Zbu Manowar]

Isn't there a war going on that takes precedence over an naked attempt to curry favor by pandering to the retarded half of America? Come on, who the fuck cares about a silly video game that's already established itself as not being for kids?

That tears it: our media is fucking useless. Feel free to beat the shit out of a newscaster whenever you see one, apparently the only thing they do is feed us the party line. That, or the war on terror applies to the Ballas, Grove Street, and the wacky driving style of Woozy the Comical Blind Chinese Race Car Driver.

[Zebra 3]

It was only a matter of time for videogames be regulated like movies.

[lumpisan]

tht sex scene got it an AO rating? And yet nobody complained about the new leisure suit larry game.... guess its cuz gta izso big. oh well. I say Liberman and Hillary and anyone against videogames should be beaten to death woth copies of educational games

[King Hadas]

Why do people keep bumping this thread?

[xbxDaniel]

The store closest to me carries anything that will make a sale. They keep Grand Theft Auto next to seasame street games. They don't care what they sell, as long as they sell. Sucks about the rating, I know some parents who are going to be shocked that their children have been playing this filthy, unchristianly game. What were people expecting when Rockstar came out with a game of Grand Theft Auto?

[Gurlugon]

Thanks for making me think there was a followup to the article

[blackwar12]

ah hell this little "game censorship" BS has been going on since the days of NES. everything always checks out to one simple concept and that is reading the warnings before you buy. hell this little recall might just make me a few hundred bucks in a few years because I got an M rated san andreas sitting upstairs. its such a shame, just because a few stupid parents couldn't take a couple of seconds to read now the world has to pay the price.

[MLE]

okay, everyone from fark can go home now. -c
