J192 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 What is it? I've been hearing that people say it's a game for small children, then I hear some others saying that it's for ages 13+. Can anybody provide me with the actual maturity rating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouCleverBoy Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 To be honest, I was surprised it was rated teen. This game is cute and silly and fun and just a little bit terrifying, but there's E-rated games that can be terrifying. I wonder what ended up justifying the rating? I bet it's Wilson's quote for a burning log, isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XirmiX Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 *Complicated man talk* Because Klei says that DS is for 13 year olds or over, yet they removed long pig because of the kiddies, I think they don't know what they actually want, myes, indeed. -XirmiX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainClam Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 A lot of GROWN MATURE PEOPLE had problems with long pig for COMPLETELY REASONABLE reasons and because Klei is a bunch of GREAT PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THEIR FANS, they removed it.

Lonestarr01 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Long Pig.People said Klei is meanie to kiddies because long pig. Klei removed long pig so appeal the kiddie meanies. No, that's not what Klei said at all. They took it out because before it, DS always had a dark a gloomy feeling, without outright dark content. With long pig in, the game felt almost like "hey, look how dark and spooky we are! You can eat da peoples!". I'm bad at explaining it probably, but go back and watch some Klei Rhymes with Play and SethR brings it up and explains why it is not in, and won't ever be.

seronis Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 This is a game for 6 year olds(and above). A teen rating is for the LAWYERS and COURTS who are mentally deficient idiots. Thats life. You dont rate items because of who they are actually meant for and safe for. You rate them based on idiots who require "politically correct" (aka stupid) limitations. There is nothing about this game or about Klei themselves that is "being mean to kiddies". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soopakoopa Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 LoZ: Ocarina of Time. A game featuring 2 races which are entirely nudists, giant parasites that shoot lightning, a humongousdecapitated zombie with disembodied hands, and a bloated deformed bloodied man-eating corpse fought in a room literallymade out of dead people. Rated E for everyone. Don't Starve. A cartoon game with some creatures made out of shadows. They're really dark shadows, andsometimes they bite. 2spooky4kiddies. Rated T for teen.

blaaaat Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Honestly, I thought the long pig was perfectly brilliant and am saddened to see it not in the game (without mod aid anyway). But it's very much understandable that for people of any age cannibalism is a dealbreaker. It would not be fair to them to keep it, when the people in favor wouldn't even have minded if they'd never heard of it. It's still there for people to mod-in. That should be enough. This is a fair solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soopakoopa Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Japan tends to be a little looser with their rating system and America is afraid their kids will be scarred for life because something jumps at them. Still, even today in America where little girls get locked up in prison overnight on account of"terrorism threats" such as saying she's going to shoot her friend with a squirt gun, OoT3D onlyjust barely got bumped up to an E10+ as opposed to the original's "E" (which is probably onlybecause E10+ hadn't really existed as a rating back then), and it's not like they really changedthat much. They added somesmall scaley fin-things to Ruto's chest to make her look slightly lessnaked, and they replaced the blood on Dead Hand with blue blotches. He's still a giant deformed corpse who tries to bite off a little boy's head while chasing him through a room made out of the rotting corpses of hundreds of dead people. The only thing I can really think of that Don't Starve has is that it's somewhat impliedthat the shadow creatures may or may not be demonic, and even then it's not like thegame is glorifying them and saying "Lucifer is good for you, eat your Lucifer-O's andkill the Pope so he stops having untrendy opinions on gay marriage."

JanH Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hey everyone, basically Don't Starve on PC, Mac, and Linux are not rated by the ESRB, so we don't have an official rating. However we believe the game is appropriate for most ages. But we also believe it is up to parents what is best for their children, so it's hard to say specifically what age is best. The game is on the spookier side, similar to something like Nightmare Before Christmas or Coraline. So if you're okay with those, or if you're a parent that's comfortable with your child watching those films, then Don't Starve should be fine as well. The PS4 and PS Vita version on the other hand are rated by the ESRB as Teen for Fantasy Violence, Crude Humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elexier909 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Ok I don't get it. Buntch of purests preaching the "Right" way. The games for teens so any parent that lets there kids play it is not a resposible parent. Its a make belive world where "Wendy died doing what she loved, Being hurt by tentacles" Its kind of like those parents that complain about violance/sex ect in ANY of the GTA games and moaning that its not right for there 8 year old child. And its not just one or two isolated insodents, The Golden compass 2 was cancelled due some religious nut job moaning about how it effected his beliefs...sheesh don't watch it then simple.
