Australian R18+ Rating
Left 4 Dead 2 just got banned in Australia due to the fact that we don't have an R Rating. That basically means that if a game is deemed unsuitable for anyone 15 years or younger it will not be sold in Australia. I for one disagree and think that as mature (mostly) people we should be able to have an R rating. Whats everyone elses opinion on it?

I remember the 'hot coffee' scandal, one newspaper reported 'A game containing...<description of hot coffee mod>...is being marketed at children'
I dont need to tell you what is wrong with that sentance
Parents need to stop buying their kids adult rated games, they have age ratings for a reason.
Movies are often far worse but no one bats an eyelid because watching movies is culturally acceptable.
I could go on all day about this but better not...

You cannot ignore this fact...not matter how.
Also like elephantinc said, some movies are far worse, but they are getting the away by defining as "culturally acceptable."

There isnt an M15+ rating anymore, it was lowerd to just 'Mature' (so 13-16 ext)Originally posted by anasasis
ive always had a funny thought why is it that they sell toys in toy stores which are aimed at children yet the toy is based on a film which is m15+ meaning legally the child shouldn't have seen it.
Some of the reasons for not having an R rating make sence IF they where marketed for children. The fact that games can be as violent as movies is true but games are interactive so the immersion is more of a factor.
Many parents these days are ignorant as to what their children are watching, or don't really care. It amazes me how many times ill walk into a video shop and see little children asking parents for high rated movies, and parents just letting them.
As iamcreasy said, the standard are changing as violent games are becoming more realistic and prevalent so it only makes scene to adjust the rating system with it.

get completely desensitized to sex, violence and language (not necessarily in that order
the whole thing seems hypercritical as they say the ratings system doesnt work so dont have an 18+ one but they still have ratings
People just need to stop being so ignorant of games.

It takes one or two cases of people being idiots to ruin it from everyone else.
Interesting note too on the 'shooting zombies' thing, One point in the banning report was that they where 'Humans, infected with a rabies like virus' not technically zombies... cause people know the difference

Seems like a cop-out to let the same content through just with less blood.
