Or is there...

Hey, at least it fits his name.

I know there's a lot of games for the PS3 that are supposed to be good, but it's so overwhelming deciding which ones are really worth it... I mean, for example, it's not like I can spend $60 on all those ones Tk and Mr. Wiggles mentioned, much less have the time to play them.

I remember being denied M games at the video store back then. Once my beard came in at around 14, however, I quickly bypassed that.

Heck, I'm eighteen and I've still never bought one. It's a matter of taste more than anything else (I don't really like gore and swearing for the sake of itself), but my parents were pretty rigid about stuff like that when I was younger--not so much anymore, I think, but it's still left an impression on me.

A lot of M-rated games seriously shouldn't be, though.

So apparently I'll actually be allowed to get The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for my PS3, since the only reason it got its M rating was because of a mod on the PC version.

Congraturation! That's a really terrific game, if you ask me. I don't know how it is on the PS3 though, if it is even different at all. I've only played the Xbox version.

The funny thing is, I'm pretty sure the same kind of mod exists for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, but since that game came out long before the sort of ESRB stupidity that we deal with today, that game still carries its T rating...

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #4763 on:** December 30, 2009, 04:38:24 PM »

I've always wondered about that. Occasionally we get a T-rated Oblivion and I go "??"

San Andreas being recalled and switched to AO because of the hot coffee mod seemed a bit overboard since the common person playing the game wouldn't even know it existed in the first place or really be able to access it without modding tools.

Also, Jack Thompson was first on scene when it was discovered, no doubt, so I imagine he got the ball rolling with the re-rating.

You don't have time to play nine games in a console generation?

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #4766 on:** December 30, 2009, 10:28:10 PM »

Well... good point. Still, there's nine games now, but how many will there be by the end of the generation? And for the Wii(Ware)/DS, too?

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #4767 on:** December 31, 2009, 02:21:13 AM »

Well, I'll list the upcoming PS3 games I know I'll be getting:

Heavy Rain
The Last Guardian
3D Dot Game Heroes
God of War III
Final Fantasy Versus XIII

I was looking forward to White Knight Chronicles for a long time but a recent trailer turned me off. May still get if I hear recommendations after release.

I was planning on posting here when I finally beat Star Fox Adventures after starting it nearly a third of my life ago, but I gave up. Got to the third phase, though. Might still finish it someday, just not now.

I got Oblivion for $20 today, because I got the Greatest Hits edition. That's great, because I was expecting to pay three times that much for it.
