What exactly does "Games experience may change during online play. ESRB Rating" refer to on video games? Is this so someone can't sue the games co. when someone calls their little timmy a, "fucking cunt" during an online game? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
probably |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it means that the developers can release patches that change the fundamentals of the game... Everquest 1, for instance, used to run on windows 95. But eventually they released a graphic update patch that required people to use Windows 98. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its to do with ratings and the nature of playing against real people online. youre pretty much right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's not true. It's related to patches changing gameplay, and even adding new (possibly violent) content that have not been rated by the ESRB. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
From the ESRB 'Online games that include user-generated content (e.g., chat, maps, skins) carry the notice "Game Experience May Change During Online Play" to warn consumers that content created by players of the game has not been rated by the ESRB.' guess we're both kind of right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, player made mods and stuff I guess they're thinking of. But they don't rate the offical patches and mods either though... strange. I know that Everquest added that warning with the Ruins of Kunark expansion set, after many, many complaints of people having to upgrade to windows 98, after the original game said windows 95. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I think it has to do with the fact you're playing online in a community with real people and so the game experience differs greatly depending on what people are there. |

I was playing World of Warcraft one time, and I start trash talking this little shit who started going at it with me, and the ass reported me for cursing :P |
||||||||

Which players or indeed which "out to get you" cliques. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah, pretty sure it wasn't a clique... but thanks for your concern! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I always find trash-talking little shits during on-line games of Warcraft improves my manliness ten-fold. I don't know if anyone else has had any similar experiences regarding this. |

Heh, nice sarcasm there, but you're a fucktard on this message board, so what's the difference? |

Genuine LOL at that. Indeksical: I'd never considered about the rating of patches before. I know that there was an official Blood patch for the original Carmageddon, perhaps that was a way of getting it round the censors (originally, they had to take the blood out at their request)? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As I remember from when I had the original Carmageddon many moons ago, you had to get a code or something to turn the Blood on. Actually, I have no idea, I can't remember! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember the original Blood Code... ABACABB, Mortal Kombat for Sega Genesis. But the best was the Boob Code for Fatal Fury to make Mai Shiranui's bosom extra buxom. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm trying to think how I knew the code -- I didn't have the internet at the time, so it couldn't have been that way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm pretty sure it was a patch (or maybe it was just a patch that meant you didn't have to keep on entering the cheat?) I have a magazine cover CD somewhere at my parents with it on. I remember even as a teenager, being amused that this was the most prominent "main attraction" in terms of how it was displayed on the disc's cover (IE the picture was of that and the text was dwarfing the list of playable demos etc.) BTW if you've not played it, carmageddon 2 is well worth tracking down - fantastic damage modelling for the time and still great fun. Runs v. fast for fairly low spec machines considering how graphically intense it is too. |

fuckin hell forgot about the carmageddon games! happy memories... gonna have to have a look for those. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

|

I had Carmageddon 2 once, but at the time I had my crappy PC, and it wouldn't run. I actually downloaded Carmageddon a while back, but found it to be unplayable! The graphics were just so blocky and ugly. Real shame. A slick updated version would be nice. I heard Carmageddon64 for the Nintendo was a pile of poop. |
||||||||
|

I never liked Carmageddon 3, or the console games much; the series peaked at 2 for me. The first two are top though. Mowing down church-goers as your character says, "Say your prayers!", classic! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know what you mean about playing carmageddon 1 now. 2 doesn't suffer from this at all though- probably as it's no sprites, all proper 3d. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||

Looks like I'll have to re-acquire it! I've been trying to get Championship Manager 2 again, to 'help' with my writer's block. I read that it's abandonware now. |
||||||||
|

i didnt even know there was a carmageddon 3! |

There's a Carmageddon 2000 also. |

That's a good question. 'Game Experience' seems pretty vague. I'm not sure; is it referring to 'experience' in terms of skill? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought it was to account for things like lag which only occur online and have an adverse effect on the game |
