2006-05-09 - ESRB rating change revisited Options

[stargelman]

You knew this would happen.

You just knew it would happen when you heard that Oblivion's rating was changed by the ESRB on the grounds that "the game contains hidden nudity".

You just knew he would get involved to spread FUD.

It is also clear that Take-Two corporately and its senior officers, including CEO Paul Eibeler, individually, must now be prosecuted criminally for the knowing distribution of "sexual material harmful to minors" which is a felony in most states and nationally. The undersigned intends to work toward that end immediately.

...

Its popular and newly released Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has now been re-rated "Mature" and recalled by the ESRB because Take-Two and its co-publisher have been caught embedding nude figures and scenes in the game which can be unlocked with a code provided by the developer. This is not a modification or "mod" of the game by gamers. It is an unlocking of content that was put there by Take-Two with the unlocking code provided by the developer!

Go read Jack Thompson's press release over at Games First.

Maybe have a good laugh. Or maybe frown and understand that this guy is a serious threat to the gaming industry and all happy gamers, because there's enough people in influental positions that don't know any better or try to make profit of this and support his agenda.

Now, you probably haven't seen what the fuss is all about. Can't have that.

Oblivion's Harmful Boobs

Oh noes...Oblivion and ANY game can have nudity modded into it. ANY game can. ANY. Yet oblivion has a no-clothes model. That they PUT the clothes on. And without that there would just be clothes walking around. It adds realism so the bras and boxers and junk dont look as if welded into the person, but more like clothes. What should they have done on the blank model? Put giant censored bars?
Cmon, this is ridiculous.

Anyway, I see worse on TV. Do they even know how bad adult swim has gotten?


Will having an oblivion box with T on it make its value higher?
Heh, I didnt open my oblivion box and just used my bros. Got a collectors in still perfect condition.

It would have been the more aesthetic thing to do, given the current look

Plus if for some weird reason you (as in someone) really needed a game for your sexual phantasies, at least you could have imagined proper details under the bars
