I think this will open more opportunities for a more enriched story and overall game itself the teen rating limits the amount of creativity the game developers can implement into the game which I think is also a big factor to why destiny's story is so lacklustre. Hopefully they realise their mistake and make destiny 2 mature rated, I also want to state that the teen rating isn't why the story isn't so good, bungie slack of storytelling and cut out content may be a factor to why the story is bad as well, though improved in TTK it's still not good.
Discuss...
Edit: blood and gore doesn't make a game 18 rated it's much more than just swearing and blood.
-
That's not how ratings work. They make the game, esbr reviews it, then rates it. T is what they got from what they made

Edited by yoyobro42: 11/12/2015 9:20:44 PMIt wouldn't make a difference. It would end up the same like cod maybe even worse because your not just killing other humans all the time

Edited by Mongoose: 11/12/2015 4:10:24 PMIt really won't stop little kids playing it
-
Unfortunately it will never happen, the teen rating is why destiny made so much damn money the first year. I personally would love a more mature and darker destiny but it will never happen after the success they have had
-
I mean, it won't stop teens and pre-teens from playing. I was under 18 when Halo CE came out, and my parents were pretty strict about violent games, but I still managed to play it. The only real difference an M rating would make is that they'd be allowed to show actual animated blood when we kill enemies, and there could be swearing in the dialogue. That's not going to fix the story. Hopefully they'll learn from the criticism of the Grimoire card system and deliver more of the story through in-game dialogue in 2 though.

Anyone else want assassinations?
-
You don't need an 18+ rating to tell a good story. Destiny's Sucks for different reasons.
-
Like that's going to keep the squeaker away lol.
-
I think maybe if they tried a little harder on the story it would be better. Plus they sell more to both groups with the teen rating, so they probably won't change it.
-
Think it'd be better with a M rating. Make the hive scarier and more on par with the flood. A little more violence to the combat. Maybe assassinations. I'd like to see the bodies linger more and less just disintegrate. I'd actually like to see what it is I've been killing instead of a pile of ashes or whatever. Maybe a bit grittier story and characters to.
-
It wouldn't matter. COD and Gears have always been M rated, but it doesn't stop parents from letting their 8 year old play them. Or the developers from pushing it on them..
-
It wouldnt stop children from playing. Their parents will still buy them the game. You act like it would be illegal for them to play.
-
Really, adding gore, swearing, drugs and sexual themes are the only things to boost the rating. None of those would be necessary to make the story better
-
Cause people actually pay attention to the ratings lol

No. Not going to happen. It's clear that Bungievision needs to cater to the masses and this would push out kids that would spend money on their game. At least some. Would I like it to happen? I don't care. I don't think they need it to be rated M in order for it to be a good story/game.
-
Wont happen.
-
I would like for it to be more adult oriented, but M won't sell as many games as the T will, so not gonna happen.
-
No because more squeakers would play
-
I feel like some language could make the game a lot better and more realistic
-
Okay well M games are rated 17 and in Europe M games are typically rated 18+
-
I would agree that the Teen rating was a huge mistake, story wise, because we got a tame/lame non nonsensical almost story in vanilla. At this point I would doubt that there will be a 2nd. Bungie has a 10 publishing deal with activision. that don;t mean Destiny will last 10 years
-
It's because this flies over kids heads
-
If they add a strip joint to the tower then it will be M rated lol
-
Im just going to leave this here... http://www.esrb.org/ratings/ratings_guide.aspx [spoiler]The major difference difference between T-rated and M-rated is the type of violence. T-rated: Content is generally suitable for ages 13 and up. May contain [b]violence[/b], suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling and/or infrequent use of strong language. [quote]Violence - Scenes involving aggressive conflict. May contain bloodless dismemberment[/quote] M-rated: Content is generally suitable for ages 17 and up. May contain [b]intense violence[/b], blood and gore, sexual content and/or strong language. [quote]Intense Violence - Graphic and realistic-looking depictions of physical conflict. May involve extreme and/or realistic blood, gore, weapons and depictions of human injury and death[/quote][/spoiler]

I want more blood. A mixture of destiny and dying light would be perfect!
