Ah, christ. This is not a popular subject. People still think my hobby is puerile. I play video games a lot. I read a lot yes, but I also play video games. Anyway, my topic is that of Manhunt 2's being shit canned for the time being by the lords of game publishing Sony and Nintendo. Now, a rating system is in place for games, the ESRB. That stands for something. I know bad joke. Haha self effacement is funny when immediately followed up by pointing out thats what your doing. Or not. So, while I'm not sleeping tonight I'd like to get to my point. Manhunt 2 received an AO rating. That stands for Adult Only. I do know a few acronyms. Nintendo being the main system this game got the ban for has stated that it will not carry a title on its system given an AO rating. That I find to be slightly insulting to me the consumer. I thought that, and forgive me for my ignorance, that they were a company out to make money on selling games to people of all ages. I'm an adult. I wanted to play a horror based game. I wanted to play something with original game mechanics and interesting design with some gore slapped on it to make it pretty to my personal fucking tastes. I was going to pay for this pleasure with money I earned at a job I dislike. So, great censorship from a media company. What else is new?
