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.

Edited by SpeechlessMoon: 1/8/2014 4:16:36 PMIt is a shame when developers shoot for a certain rating. Take artistic liberties with whatever you are creating and make what you want, and then take the rating you get. This is something Bungie has always done, so I am surprised to hear they would shoot for a certain rating. I understand that it gives more potential for sales, but the only people developers should really try and please are themselves. Once they are happy with the game, you release it and see if others share your opinion. Edit: Holy mother of necrobump this thread is old!
