pathsofglory Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Now I'm so glad that GTA4 received a Mature instead of an AO. I have been Watching the Stripper and Hooker videos and I'm surprised in how close it was to receiving an AO rating. Thanks for pushing the envelope Rockstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm english so are rating system is different adult only, meaning 18+ not sellable in stores, being a bad thing and yeah im sure gta4 was close to an ao rating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh995 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 what is an AO rating. I'm english so are rating system is different AO = Adults Only. No stores sell Adults Only games, also Sony and Microsoft do not allow AO games on their consoles. So, if GTA IV had gotten an AO rating, we wouldn't be able to play it until they edited it to get an M (Mature) rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerKa Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 If it was AO, it wouldn't be selling on the Sony or 360 platform. Both Sony and Microsoft ban AO games from being sold on their console line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s-paco Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Thats only because you cant have sex in the way you could have in GTASA. Because sex is sooooooooooooooooooo bad!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storie Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Well if the strippers in GTA IV were nude, and even if you could blow people to pieces... It would of gotten an AO rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xygtaxy Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Actually, if the strippers were nude it wouldn't be AO, and I think there is some nudity anyway. GTA SA had a stripper with nipples, as did it's sex mini game have hardly nudity, and even though you engaged in the process of the fun, it was so unrealisticaly in graphical terms that when you think about it GTA4 has was more realistic sexual affect while in the car, and it's way funnier.

spectre01 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I guess GTA4 didn't get an AO rate because the player doesn't engage in those sex scenes. Unlike "hot coffee", where you need to control the character to bang girls, gta4 only shows you a "concept" of sex... thus no AO rating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerenUnderdog Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 if AO is 18+ doesn't that mean Europe is selling an AO game? Not really the AO rating in US means the medium (game or flick) is subject to the same laws as a porn movie for exemple. it's not only 18+, its "18+ and not to be sold in regular store" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StyluZ Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 if AO is 18+ doesn't that mean Europe is selling an AO game? exactly what i was thinking, 18+ is the equivalent of adults only in the u.k,seeing as when you turn 18 you are classed as an adult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommo400 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 The whole rating system is a bit stupid really. Do they really think you change that much between the ages of 17 and 18, that they require seperate ratings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fistinface Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I think your getting the '18' rating mixed up with the 'restricted 18' rating. The latter is porn films and i would assume this would be the equivalent to an 'AO' rating in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
