T-rated vs M-rated.
What age rating do you think will work better for Tomb Raider 13 ?
I personally think T rating will be better because from what I've seen, The reboot trilogy just uses the M rating to add more blood,gore,violence and swearing to TR as selling points instead of using it to make more mature stories. M-rating also made the TR games to look more depressing compared to majority of TR games. So in my opinion T-Rating fits TR better. Not everything needs to be rated M imo. |

T:
Content is generally suitable for ages 13 and up. May contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling and/or infrequent use of strong language. M: Content is generally suitable for ages 17 and up. May contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content and/or strong language. akaik, Japan is the only country where age rating is actually a big deal, because TV networks don't allow ads for M rated games to run during specific hours, which is why Resident Evil 2 Remake got reduced to a baby game in Japan. Other than that, I don't see a reason to castrate the game of the possibility of having brutal death scenes, blood, mutilated monsters and all kinds of juicy stuff. Language... who cares about that. |

I would like the M rating to be kept, actually it's the only thing they should keep from the reboot.

I don't like the way Lara swears all the time as it seems too much, however for the violence I would back the M-rating.

If we divide certain elements:
Violence and Gore: M-Rated, but balanced like Rise/Shadow... Swearing: T-Rated. Shadow is a step in the right direction, with Lara swearing in between. But she doesn’t need to, at all. Story: M-Rated = T-Rated. Both could work, with each being a balance. No melodramatic, gritty tone with depressing themes. No cheesy, cartoonish moments where Lara cracks a 90’s one-liner every 5 seconds. |

I vote for M rating and I would also like realistic body destruction and wounds (something like RDR2 or RE2 remake) because right now in Shadow there's hardly any blood and bodies stay intact... if they want to be realistic they need to work on that expecially because other AAA titles have evolved in that department, they can't afford to be left behind...
I would also like a serious M rating tone, which doesn't mean there couldn't be some lighter moments and some fun lines here and there, I just don't want a comedy tone full of jokes aimed for kids. Last edited by Grizzly Bear; 04-11-19 at 13:50. |

I don't care.
As long as the artistic direction of the next game isn't compromised (either by "softening" its content to be rated T, or by making things unnecessarily gritty and violent to reach a M rating) I would be okay with even a E-rated Tomb Raider game. |

I actually care since it annoys me when Lara always keep swearing whenever a booby trap is going toward her in Rise.(Or whenever something is surprising her.)
Because Lara swearing takes the player out of what danger is coming toward him/her for a moment. |

She in general for me sounds very "Actor at a microphone" when trying to swear. |
