Ya probably games like resident evil get changed. they have a a-c and z rating system. I wonder if they put the uncensored under z for 18 and up and d or c for censored.

I don't know the specifics of their rating system, but it works similar to how Australia used to do it when the ACB system didn't have an 'R-18' classification for games.
Some things didn't fit into a lower classification so we couldn't have the games released. For this reason fallout has medX now, it used to be morphene but by replacing it they got it into a lower bracket.

The same thing still happens in games where it isn't necessary to have it explicitly a real-world drug or something, if they can replace something that can be replaced without altering the game, they often do to lower the rating They don't do it if it wouldn't lower the rating though, which is why in L.A. Noire the dead women didn't have clothes in the regular one. It wouldn't have lowered their rating so they left it the same

Bit ridiculous in my opinion but ic.

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.

Ok. what's that eye reveil thing you put in your text?

What do you mean? The spoilers? Can't you see them?

Ya, well im new here and I thought they were some weird emoji thing. I didn't notice that they were hiding text till 5 minutes ago.

I don't really pay attention to name colour.
Yeah, they hide text so I usually put different/concise/stand alone explanations in them. Means you can read my comment without interrupting but get extra info aswell

Sweet sound's useful ^-^

They are.
But right now they're full of star wars spoilers and I haven't watched it yet

I've seen it's ok i didn't really dig it much. i've Been told if i'd had seen the other ones I'd like it more ~not a star wars spoiler
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.

I am planning on seeing it as soon as I can but I'm broke right now.
I meant ALL of them. All the ones you aren't expecting.

lol have you been a victim to an unexpected star wars spoiler?

Many

dang. If i was you i'd go into denial and pretend they lying.
At least you can always enjoy the quality and mood put into it No one could ruin that. . That was best parts. When watching It i could feel the creativity flowing through certain scenes ^-^. my god new star wars concept art would be awesome

is mass erect worth playing?
I've always seen it as cancer, but mostly cause my brother liked it and I've always liked to dislike what he likes, so I honestly have no idea

play it

If you like a game that focuses on story and specific characters, who you might grow to like over the course of the game, and if you like making your own choices that have consequences in the future, this is the game for you. The combat, if I remember correctly, isn't anything to shake a stick at until the 2nd and 3rd, but the conversations and characters are top notch.

If you're on the fence, I'd recommend renting the game if you have a console.

huh, didn't know that

sounds familiar right?

I'm not a very hairy guy, just in general.

Ass hair is completely unforgiving because you can have absolutely no hair anywhere, no arm hair, leg hair, barely armpit hair and a behind as smooth as a baby butt. However, you could have an Amazonian jungle between the cheeks, I've heard that's many the case for Asian dudes.

Nope. I'm a guy.
There's really just not any hair there.
Like, there's the normal really thin covering of hair that's less than a centimeter long, that grows everywhere, you know? But nothing you can see or feel.

My ass-hair brother.
Feels good not having ass-hair, unlike these plebs.

Thats kinda weird.

Beating us at functional activity is still evidence that they can perform functional activity, which you listed as a condition for life. My composite intelligence described before also fits the conditions of growth, reproduction and continual change preceding death, in this case via total destruction or control termination. Which are two ways in which humans die, but humans also die upon partial destruction.

What your final two points deal with, is actually incorrect in some not too obvious ways. machines currently emulate life, as they currently cannot be considered alive. Humans cannot currently fly in and of themselves, but our understanding of genetics is growing and with enough knowledge humans could fly, could breathe underwater, could see in more spectrum's than ever before, with enough knowledge, humans could do anything any animal could do and more. With enough knowledge, machines could be alive. At some point our knowledge will be great enough that biology and mechanics cannot be considered independent, machinery will have biological natures and biology must expand to incorporate this. Already biology has mechanical aspects as researchers begin mechanical interactions with organic life, such as the replacement of sensory information or interfacing machinery with nervous systems.
