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.

That is one of the greatest epics written, has darkness, violence, and death, but not one ounce of profanity nor explicit violence simply because "it's gritty." I could read LOTR to my future children and the worst I would be worried about is scaring them with a part featuring a giant spider. If anything, the LOTR's story feel seems to be what Bungie is shooting for: A world with hope. To say that the ridiculous overuse of profanity is a [i]necessity?[/i] Oh, come now, surely we haven't fallen this deep into societal degradation. Battlefield 3 was [i]ruined[/i] because every single multiplayer character cursed like a fourth-grader who just learned what curse words are, and it didn't make the game more "realistic" or "gritty" in a war game. Destiny will be what it will be, and to demand that it must strive for an "M" rating simply to cater to your tastes discredits Bungie's work.
