And Valve had to make a change to L4D2 just for Australia Caesar View Profile View Posts. Skylore72 View Profile View Posts. It was because the game had certain elements The decaying hanging bodies that are in dungeon stairwels for example that the ESRB did not see in the version they were given so they changed the rating.
This was also due to the topless mod too. Not to mention a certain mod that allows you to have intimate relations with any NPC. Felix View Profile View Posts. Well, mods could be made for games rated for Everyone to make the characters have sex if someone wanted to make that. Mods do not affect the rating of a game. It would be what Skylore said, minus the bit about the mod.

The game is incredibly difficult, with only one difficulty level and the numerical values depicting your stats really decide how brawls and battles will end. My advice is to spend time away from the main questline and get familiar with the controls, join a guild, and complete contracts and miniquests to earn gold to take weapons training from certain vendors.
Guards are about impossible to kill unless you have completed the main storyline and have really good stats, weapons, and armor. There is the horse armor controversy that happened back in , but I haven't encountered it in the Xbox One Edition because the Xbox Live Marketplace is shut down. You can also drink alcoholic beverages, but without any graphic outcomes, such as blurred vision and the like.
Your fatigue stats just raise levels, and you can't use a weapon as well. Stands the test of time as Skyrim's wiser, older brother.
Teen, 17 years old Written by ufoboyuo May 12, Why is it rated 15 if it looks like it was rated 12? In the uk its rated 15 for moderate violence. This games violence is intense and unrealistic. The blood in this game is minimal and seen on a weapon mostly the sword. No sexual use or references. This is basically a teen version of Game of Thrones. Teen, 13 years old Written by glow-in-dark April 9, Great game that some people cannot enjoy because the age rating is incorrect Good game, yes it has violence but it is pretty hard to get away with a crime.
Great storyline. The game has only one drug and it is skooma, it is really hard to get and it drains your intelligence. Teen, 16 years old Written by Treacleisdeay May 26, Let's be honest.
Well, a lesser known fact is that this game is rated M in the USA because of a mod. It irritates me that the game is for "adults" because it can be appreciated by everyone. There are a whole 3 or so side quests with graphic gore, and even that looks fake. There's nothing that makes this deserve an M or a 16, it should be a T or a Nothing wrong with it, I swear. Teen, 16 years old Written by iiFreyja1 December 12, When I was little, my father let me play this game with supervision and walked me through it.
This game actually taught me how to read since I was playing it with subtitles, and gave me the vast imagination I have today which I use for my writing and music. You also have the opportunity to put the difficulty at whichever level you want to make it as easy or as hard as you want it to be. Kid, 11 years old July 10, One of the best video game experiences of all time for Adults and Teens alike. Let's get one thing out of the way: This game is not friendly for young children.
It includes many themes of murder, torture, and even allows you to become an assassin worshiping one of the strongest and most evil spirits in the series. Unless your kid is ready to handle that, I would not recommend this to kids 11 or under. With that out of the way, lets get to the actual review.
Oblivion is one of the best games i have ever played, there are quite a few unpolished parts, such as the characters faces, modeled after real faces, but for , the tech wasn't great at that.
The game has an incredibly engrossing story, characters that feel real, and by far my two favorite parts are these. I know that sounds weird, but the kings son actually is the main character and hero for most of the main quest. But that doesn't prevent you from becoming an incredibly important figure.
The game isnt actually 50 dollars, its 20 dollars depending on where you buy it. Teen, 13 years old Written by Bragix September 24, Best rpg of all time! Oblivion is the gratest rpg ever it has an incredible story great combat and a big open world.
Theri is a bit of blood splatter when you kill an enemy and sone blood gets on the weapon and there is some mild swearing but if this was a movie it would be pg Teen, 14 years old Written by Bobgannagan September 12, Great game for kids ten and up Oblivion is a great rpg game for kids. There is no sexual content or nudity.
There is a few jokes, but are hard to find. There is little blood and gore, the zombies you can see the ribs and stuff like that but it's not that realistic. There's ale and wine but there's no point in drinking it, it only has negative effects. It can teach kids things like to not do bad things like pick pocket and kill Innocents. You'll get arrested.
You can strip dead bodies down to their drab, unflattering underwear when you loot them for armor, which might elicit a giggle or two the first time your son sees it, but it quickly becomes a non-issue. There are a few sporadic instances of double-entendre a line of dialogue or two, and a book , but if your pre-teen understands it, then you've got other problems than what's in Oblivion.
It will likely sail over their heads. Oblivion is no more corrupting from this standpoint than a stroll through the grocery aisle. Yes, there are alcohol bottles everywhere in the game, but it just blends in with all the other useless detritus you see on shelves and tables e. One town specializes in making wine, complete with vineyards outside the town walls, but no one is seen drinking it.
All the alcohol is in plain, non-descript, brown beer, mead, ale or purple bottles wine , and you derive no net benefit from drinking it, so what's the point? You can't get drunk and stagger around, and other than a temporary numerical change in your stats, you won't notice any difference in your character. There is one character in the game you might meet who does slur his words and act drunk, well, because he is; but, your quest to reunite him with his long-lost twin brother results in him changing his ways and going sober.
What's so bad about that? I suppose you could wander around picking flowers for hours on end and never raise an angry hand to anything or anyone if you wanted to. Even at its most violent, it's still much less violent than any first-person shooter. And there are consequences for getting out of line and attacking innocent people.
My son tried becoming the town bully He soon got his comeuppance from the town guard. In short, Oblivion is pretty tame as far as mature content goes, compared to other RPG's. It's also much less dark than either its predecessor Morrowind or its sequel Skyrim , and as such, is probably the most approachable of the Elder Scrolls games for kids.
The warning label should really just say, "Obsessive-compulsives approach with extreme caution. This title contains: Positive role models. Helped me decide 2. Had useful details 1. Adult Written by 1raptor March 1, The worst this game gets is some ripped up zombie critters that have gaping holes in their flesh, but to be honest it's not as bad as it sounds.
The only thing else is sometimes stupid-looking blood that gets on weapons and ground etc, etc. In terms of anything else, "hell" and damn" were the only language, wine is drinkable and has negative affects, and sex is just silly. Without mods, there isn't any. This game is easily the best of the elder scrolls, even better than the follow-up, skyrim, and while many may insist skyrim is superior in every way, when really it's only technically "better" is in graphics, and even then it's not as pretty.
Had useful details. Read my mind. Parent of an infant and 3-year-old Written by kcgunesq January 18, Great game, with a few considerations for pre-tweens. The optional "Dark Brotherhood" quest line is the darkest part of the game and really adds little overall. Except for DB, players characters can play rather virtuously. Violence is not especially graphic. Although alcohol is available, it is not glamorized or prominent.
There is very little reason to drink it in the game and it has negative consequences. One can easily complete the entire game without drinking, as far as I recall. Alcohol only enters the game in that players may find bottles of wine or beer and it can be sold along with other found items to merchants for money.
Although most characters can be stripped to underwear, this is only possible on NPC and only after they are "dead". It is not provocative or lurid. It occurs as a process of taking the armor or clothing. Language is overall, quite mild. Positive Messages. Helped me decide. Adult Written by Oblivion lover July 30, Positive role models. Parent of a 5, 12, and year-old Written by Chris T.
January 1, Amazing, only game better is ESV. Oblivion still holds up well 12 years later, and holds a really important place in my heart. It has a smart main story and hundreds of side quests and is still a very graphically beautiful game.
There is mild violence with a tiny bit of blood and characters and animals can be killed. This should definitely be a game that your child plays before Skyrim, because the content is much milder. Adult Written by SlyAardvark December 27, I good This game was originally rated T, but some pervert made a mod on the PC and so this game's rating changed to M The sexual themes are not even bad, some people might even giggle a little bit because you can take people's armor then you can see there under wear.
Blood and Gore: there is some blood on your sword after you fight somebody or something. If you drink alcohol theme there is bad things that happen to you. This title contains: Ease of Play. Parent of a 7-year-old Written by ReviewFriend September 27, Amazing Educational Experience This game.
Amazing for anybody playing it. The game does have an 'Mature' rating from the ESRB, but it was originally 'Teen', the only reason the ESRB changed the rating was because of third party mods being accessible that rendered female characters topless.
It being third party, it would be only accessible to the PC version of the game, and even on the PC, your child probably wouldn't even figure out how to install a mod. The so called 'blood and gore' descripted in the rating is just silly, because, there is little to no blood in the game. And the game being made in the little blood that IS in the game looks unrealistic. I hope this review helped you in your decision of buying this game for your child.
The Joys of Oblivion Although Oblivion is "M" rated, the only issues I have to be concerned about are the "violence" in the game.
