Destiny should be rated T
I believe Destiny should be rated T and I'm not just saying that because I can't play M rated games, but because of other gamers than can only play T rated games and are looking forward to playing Destiny. When I first saw the Destiny law of the jungle trailer I was amazed! I bet a lot of other gamers were impressed to and I would hate it to make a gamer suffer just because of one stupid rating. I personally think this game is going to be rated T for multiple reasons. First of all, I don't think guardians are going to be dropping F-bombs every time they're hit. Second reason is that I really don't see blood or anything so that shouldn't be a problem. And I know that some other people want it to be rated M because they like blood and swearing, but honestly, do you think the world would be the same after what happens in the Destiny story? And in the trailers they seem to be more of the high manners type, not people dropping F-bombs. But the main reason I want this game to be rated T is because of all the gamers that can only play T rated games. Let me know what you think.

Edited by P dump: 4/24/2014 5:09:17 AMHere's the link to the ESRB's content descriptors. Barring sexuality, it would take at least a single occurrence of Strong Language (F--k), or realistic blood staining effects to move Destiny from Teen to a Mature rating. Certain content descriptors are shared between the M and T ratings. You'll look on the back of Halo Reach (M) and notice that it shares the "Blood" and "Violence" descriptors with games like Uncharted and Blacklight: Retribution (both T). Interestingly, the sole difference between Halo Reach and Blacklight: Retribution (aside from the obvious fun-factor) is that blood in Reach will stain the environment, whereas Blacklight's blood is limited to a brief plume or splash, but never effects the surroundings. Another important fact is that the ESRB does not discriminate between gameplay and a pre-rendered cutscene. It's all rated as being in-game content so that one exceedingly violent act in a non-controlled cutscene could get the entirety of an otherwise age-approved 100 hour experience rated Mature. There's a ton of little kinks with ESRB's formula but at least they've been pretty consistent for the past 14 years.
