Spoiler warning: beware of some expanded ESRB descriptions |
Ó
Gamers beware: some of the new expanded ESRB descriptions may contain minor spoilers. This goes out to all you gamers who'd like to know as little as they can about a game's storyline before they actually play the game.Folks at 1UP decided to dip their feet in the water to see how much spoiler content there is. As it turns out, the descriptions for Resistance 2 and Fallout 3 do have info on the game that may be considered as spoilers.
It's not as bad as it sounds, really. The tidbits of spoiler info aren't enough to ruin the game for anybody. Even if you read the descriptions, they're still vague enough to keep you guessing when you actually play the game.
For parents who simply want to check out what ESRB has to say about a game, this isn't a problem. They won't play the darn game anyway. Just don't tell your kids about the spoilers.

but doesn't quite explain where this information is going to be. I'm assuming on the case it self in the usual fashion but with extended descriptions? Depending on the clutter it would seem to me that most parents wouldn't bother reading through it. Much easier just too see: Blood, Gore, Violence, Strong Language, end lol
I agree, I'd like to see one of these descriptions.
...like i said, they may spoil games for some players. Follow the source link if you really want to see some.
I did. All I found was Fable2 and it didn't have any spoilers.
Ah well, I'll look for more. Thanks.
Here's a tip: DON'T READ IT.
I seriously doubt that any gamer would decide to buy a games based on the ESRB rating. The information is for parents who like to know more about the games their children play. Unless your mother is a game-ruiner and tells you the plot, everything should be okay.
(HAHA, I just imagined a mother telling a kid:" You know what the ending of Fable II is? You Die!" and the kid:" NOOOOO!!! you spoiled it!!!!!!")
XD
"Here's a tip: DON'T READ IT."
Oh come on!!! You don't expect such a simple solution to work do you? It's not complicated enough. It doesn't contain a 50 page policy explaining what Americans are and are not allowed to do.
I have already spewed my disdain about giving more information to power tripping parents, so I'll keep this short...
Why don't they just put the games in full on black boxes/sleeves (like you see some special edition movie titles in) that have a huge "M" or "MA" on the front and then only expose system information and story line in a revealed area on the back of the box.
That way all the pining mommies can flip the **** out when they catch little Johnny reading the back cover in the middle of the department store.
Lets be honest... real gamers and computer literate people are going to know where to get pertinent information regarding the game. If the Moral Minority (no, not majority) have issues with this then try my solution.
Folks that already know about the game could care less about the packaging getting their attention for a sale.
Some people need to get laid and stop looking into John Q. Public's business...
Happy Holidays anyway...
Actually, I'm a twenty-year-old hardcore gamer who doesn't want gore, nudity or copious amounts of mature language fouling up his gaming experience.
I tend to steer away from M-rated games, but I'll play some of them if the content of the rating description is benign enough.
