hector530 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Yeah even if it is M Minors can still get it. That is Minors that are one year away from being 18. Still Europe has it 18+ In other words Only 18 and up. The ESRB has it M which is 17 and up. Just because it is M doesn't mean minors can get it. I mean I will be 18 this month actually in 16 days but whatever. But I can get Skyrim, I can get Rage as well. The ESRB probably does need to change M to 18 instead of 17 because it confuses a lot of people thinking you have to be 18 or whatever. And if you go to Skyrim pics at flickr it is rated for "MATURE with Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Sexual Themes, and Use of Alcohol."Still for most websites to access it you need to be 18 even if it is a 17 or older game. It's not odd its more over the law. If a minor sees something there even if they are 17 things could go worse than if you are 18. Still in many cases in the U.S. standard if you are 25 you still don't have every right. (I'm talking about legal rights.) ive never seen anyone think the M was for minors.... if fact it says it on the sticker M for mature 17+. i dont see how this is a problem movies in the US are the same, rated R movies are 17 and older like the M rating.

AltreU Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Did you ever figure out why that happens? I'd be cool with an M rating here in the States. Though, if I had a kid around 13 or 14, I'd still probably let them play it. The blood and whatnot doesn't look too bad and it'd probably be the only D&D-esque game they'd like. I need to find me a woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runforitkyle Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Lol M in Australia is RECOMMENDED for 15 and up, anyone at all can buy them. =) Edited September 2, 2011 by runforitkyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowk Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 15 rating confirmed in the UK for Skyrim Which means it's likely to get an M raiting in the U.S., unless the ESRB decides to go crazy and slap a T rating on it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natelovesyou Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Skyrim getting an M rating by the ESRB is pretty much inevitable. It has stronger violence than Oblivion did, and drinking and being able to kill anyone just supports that notion. I knew it was going to be M when it was announced, I don't see how it wouldn't be. Unless, of course like Lowk said, the ESRB goes bats and goes with T despite it all haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowk Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Yeah, I don't think it's going to happen, either; it doesn't make a difference to me at 25, anyway. Just thought I'd get the info out and play Grinch to all those minors in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaldir Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 T... What a stupid rating for a game with excessive violence... Throw in a naked woman and it would get M instantly... *sigh* Humanity, oh, humanity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
