Ya i get it. I referring to medX replacing morphine. Ya it's got restrictions but morphine is such a minor detail in the game that it won't have much effect on the players. I get if medX is used or referred to a lot in the game it violates some sort of requirement for that rating group and want's to reach that group.
Also do they allow the unmodified game for the age group that can play it get it instead in the modified one?
User avatar
#9 - epicalania (12/30/2015) [-]
The biggest thing with medX is that the classification system, at the time, wasn't very good at dealing with games, so they went on a very clear scale that all publishers could easily use while they figured it out. There was "prominent" and "minor" and "none" and a bunch of things which were considered "of mature persuasion" and it sort of worked in a point score system, so a 0 for none, a 1 for minor and a 3 for prominent Arbitrary numbers, this is a gross oversimplification . So with the violence, prominence of weapons, etc yes, those two things are considered separately. the explicit reference to a drug, no matter how minor its role actually was, was enough to push it up higher than their highest rating, because they didn't have R-18 at the time R-18 allows literally anything that isn't explicitly illegal to have in the medium. i.e. unless it's illegal to put something into your game, like subliminal messaging, R-18 allows it. And for the explicitly illegal stuff, there's usually a way around it if you make it very clear what it contains and some other stuff thats more specific to whats included. .

As for the second, usually they don't because they make the decisions about the time they get the expected ratings, they talk to the people who make them and figure out how to get the lowest classification they've been told they might be considered for. So things like changing the name of a minor element of the game from a real world drug to a fake one, and they just become a regular part of the game. It isn't modified, they just altered their plans slightly to get a larger audience. Far more drastic changes are done throughout the design process and into production. These changes are always minor, usually incredibly so. I wouldn't even consider it changing the game, I'd consider it just another part of the design process, it happens in movies aswell and in all media to a lesser extent, it's just that games, followed by movies, are the overwhelming majority of times it can work. It's basically the pareto effect in action.

Feel free to ask questions, I love design and any discussion on it is something I find enjoyable.

It's nice that they're using the spoiler for that. If you are hyped for star wars you should probably see it soon before you stumble upon a uncover spoiler.

Why exaclty is it rediculous?
- This was when the ACb had just started giving games ratings, they used a modified version of their film & television classification system. They have adapted it to better suit the medium over the years but it's still largely the same, all of the ACB classification systems follow largely the same rules.
- It makes sense for a developer to alter their product, within reason, to reach a larger audience. This is how they make money. Even if the designers and producers didn't want to, the publisher often pressures them. But many designers are willing to alter things that won't change their game if it allows more people to play e.g. changing 'morphine' to 'medX' didn't actually change the game, maybe it would have been 'grittier' and more 'real-worldy' if it stayed as morphine but really, it doesn't change the game but it allowed thousands of people to play the game. in more modern times it would vastly increase the potential buyers, but at the time especially it opened up an entire country as a possible audience.

Ya i get it. I referring to medX replacing morphine. Ya it's got restrictions but morphine is such a minor detail in the game that it won't have much effect on the players. I get if medX is used or referred to a lot in the game it violates some sort of requirement for that rating group and want's to reach that group.
Also do they allow the unmodified game for the age group that can play it get it instead in the modified one?

The biggest thing with medX is that the classification system, at the time, wasn't very good at dealing with games, so they went on a very clear scale that all publishers could easily use while they figured it out. There was "prominent" and "minor" and "none" and a bunch of things which were considered "of mature persuasion" and it sort of worked in a point score system, so a 0 for none, a 1 for minor and a 3 for prominent Arbitrary numbers, this is a gross oversimplification . So with the violence, prominence of weapons, etc yes, those two things are considered separately. the explicit reference to a drug, no matter how minor its role actually was, was enough to push it up higher than their highest rating, because they didn't have R-18 at the time R-18 allows literally anything that isn't explicitly illegal to have in the medium. i.e. unless it's illegal to put something into your game, like subliminal messaging, R-18 allows it. And for the explicitly illegal stuff, there's usually a way around it if you make it very clear what it contains and some other stuff thats more specific to whats included. .

As for the second, usually they don't because they make the decisions about the time they get the expected ratings, they talk to the people who make them and figure out how to get the lowest classification they've been told they might be considered for. So things like changing the name of a minor element of the game from a real world drug to a fake one, and they just become a regular part of the game. It isn't modified, they just altered their plans slightly to get a larger audience. Far more drastic changes are done throughout the design process and into production. These changes are always minor, usually incredibly so. I wouldn't even consider it changing the game, I'd consider it just another part of the design process, it happens in movies aswell and in all media to a lesser extent, it's just that games, followed by movies, are the overwhelming majority of times it can work. It's basically the pareto effect in action.

Feel free to ask questions, I love design and any discussion on it is something I find enjoyable.

« millionth rhyme4s with month,
chilver rhymes with silver and
hurple rhymes with purple »
MY RESONCE

hurple does rhyme and is a word tho i wasnt talking about the rhyme with purple jsut hunt and month
chilver is a noun so allthough it rhymes i can make an object name it durple and it rhymes with purple so nouns are usually left out.
millionth is another one that rhymes but its borderline a forced rhyme
this is because millionths rhyming sound is IONTH while month is just ONTH

User avatar #15 to #14 - epicalania (10/13/2013) [-]
You didnt mention them but I included them as they are common ones to use with the 'fact' of certain words not having any rhymes, and as chilver is a common noun and not a proper noun it is usually counted, millionth is not a forced rhyme nor a borderline forced rhyme as the correct classical English pronunciation is mill-i-onth, with the onth rhyming with month, mill-i-onth.
Thank you
User avatar #16 to #15 - itemexchange (10/13/2013) [-]
well there you go i have no real arguements against you so i can no longer keep the conversation going (agree or not its always good to point out reasons against)
so you win
User avatar #17 to #16 - epicalania (10/13/2013) [-]
Thank you a value that you were willing to actually put your argument forward in this, i welcome any and all reasonable arguments to anything i say, this is reasonable as I have seen this sort of misconception alot and it may eventually become a large part of English, but for now it is still the same.
User avatar #18 to #17 - itemexchange (10/13/2013) [-]
i believed you from the start but you know i cant jsut let you walk all over my comment
the issue i see with millionth is that when i say it at least i do the ionth as 1 syllable so when i say it it doesnt rhyme quite right so i say its a forced ryme because by definition it rhymes when u say it a little off (so if i spaced the i out)
the issue with most rhyming facts is just theres too many words and you cant really decide the rules of rhyming as i said i can make an object name it horange and it rhymes with orange so does that count
User avatar #19 to #18 - epicalania (10/13/2013) [-]
Like I said many people do pronounce it that way and I feel it is very likely it will become the proper pronunciation soon, English seems to be slowly evolving into a very fast language.
User avatar #20 to #19 - itemexchange (10/13/2013) [-]
well english is a language based off other languages...words get added in all the time from other languages thats why origin is so useful in a spelling bee
User avatar #21 to #20 - epicalania (10/13/2013) [-]
True, it also evolves from its own words, both in useful ways (don't can't) and not so useful ways (lol, swag) although one could argue that the concept of contractions itself came from the Romans (Latin is the oldest language I know that has contractions, for example hodie is a contraction of hoc die).
User avatar #22 to #21 - itemexchange (10/13/2013) [-]
im pretty sure 80% of latin words are pretty much 2 regular words put together to mean somehting new based on the words
User avatar #23 to #22 - epicalania (10/13/2013) [-]
NO, there are many compound words (which are different from contractions and many older languages have them as well) but contractions are alot rarer, I am a second year Latin student and the only one I can think of right now is hodie
User avatar #24 to #23 - itemexchange (10/13/2013) [-]
idk much about language all i know is whenever im learning something they always go
*word* derives from the latin word *word* and *word*
where like the first part is a few letters and last part is a few letters
