Bayonetta gets ESRB description
The Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) which reviews games and gives them their lovely “18″ sticker (or 15 etc etc) has recently added a new feature where they not only give a rating but also give a short description of why that rating was given. This was intended to allow parents to make a more informed decision when buying their children (or allowing their children to buy) games.
I on the other hand can barely remember 18 so I’m safe buying any of them and infact usualy go for the games with the most nakedness and violence so it helps me out too! Take Bayonetta for example. A game where you play a hot girl clothed in nothing but her own hair (although it does look suspiciously like a real outfit to be fair). Normally this wouldn;t be enough for me to buy a game. Then the ESRB step in and give me some additional info:
“During the course of the game, some female characters perform suggestive taunts and poses, including opening their legs or gyrating their hips. Some of the more provocative outfits are shed during battle, resulting in brief depictions of buttocks and breasts. The camera occasionally pans close-up on breasts as they are jiggling.”
Now I’m sold!
Where can I get my copy?!
So from now on there’ll be hoards of teenage boys standing in the shop drooling on the box as they read the descriptions and try to convince the staff that they’re 18 not the 13 they so clearly look?
This shall be amusing…
