Destiny NEEDS an "M" rating
I know that often times, developers and gamers alike don't really care what the rating on a game is, but from what I've heard (all speculation of course), is that Bungie is aiming for a "T" rating for Destiny.
If this is the case, which I hope it isn't, it will be a huge mistake. The story for what Destiny is claiming to be, cannot be done justice if Bungie doesn't allow for the grit, violence, language, etc that would come with that setting, it can't be believable.
If the world is almost completely wiped out, and the human race is having to fight several other species in a last ditch effort to survive, you better bet that there will be "F bombs" dropped, there will be people being shot (meaning decent amounts of blood), etc.
Bungie, please, don't let yourselves be held back by a rating in order to get more sales. Make this game an "M" rated game. Anything less would be simply uncompelling and unbelievable, and would really detract from the story and mood that would be present should this situation in this game ever really happen.

1 ReplyFirst, if you believe that there can be no violence or grit in a T rated game, you need to do some research. Second, if you think that strong language is necessary to tell a good story, to tell Destiny's story, well, I really don't know what to tell you. Other than to read some books, and again, do your research. Strong language is not needed to tell this story right. Besides, Guardians are respectable. They were brought back to life because they were worthy, because they could wield the Traveler's light. Finally, there is blood in the game. A realistic amount. When players/enemies get shot, they bleed. If you get shot near a wall, or even just standing (depending on the angle) you'll see blood splatter on the wall or ground. But not an overly-dramatized amount, like gamers are so used to.
