Destiny NEEDS an "M" rating

I know that often times, developers and gamers alike don't really care what the rating on a game is, but from what I've heard (all speculation of course), is that Bungie is aiming for a "T" rating for Destiny. If this is the case, which I hope it isn't, it will be a huge mistake. The story for what Destiny is claiming to be, cannot be done justice if Bungie doesn't allow for the grit, violence, language, etc that would come with that setting, it can't be believable. If the world is almost completely wiped out, and the human race is having to fight several other species in a last ditch effort to survive, you better bet that there will be "F bombs" dropped, there will be people being shot (meaning decent amounts of blood), etc. Bungie, please, don't let yourselves be held back by a rating in order to get more sales. Make this game an "M" rated game. Anything less would be simply uncompelling and unbelievable, and would really detract from the story and mood that would be present should this situation in this game ever really happen.

  • I don't think the rating matters in the slightest. If a game gets a lower rating, then it would me more accessible to a wider audience. If a game has a higher rating, minors will still be able to get the game through their parents or friends. I think that ratings are being misjudged these days anyway. I would like to think the bar for an M rated game would be GTA IV or Saints Row. Games like Halo, even though some scenes may have stabbing and death, seems like it would be more of a teen game. Just look at this scene from halo wars (rated T). [url=http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jWaf8CVS6cg]Halo wars cutscene[/url] I am just confused on how scenes like that can pass as teen while halo: CE is labeled as M when there isn't a scene nearly as violent as that. TL;DR Don't trust ratings to determine the quality of a story.
