Violent. And I hope you don't simply rate a game due to its violent contents. That would be fairly shallow.

It's actually more violent... RDR has Bullet Wounds. John has visible wounds when shot as well. There is blood stains on characters in GTA, but it is nowhere near noticeable as this game. Also, this game has a sex scene with breasts. GTA IV does not.

umm...this game has freaking exit wounds. you can see pieces of skull when you get headshots. you can skin various animal species to check out their muscle structure. it seems like a pretty solid m to me.

Sorry, but any game where you are able to hog-tie a prostitute, drag her behind your horse out into the desert, cut her throat, shotgun her in the face and then burn her corpse with a molotov should be rated M.

certainly seemed more violent than GTA IV.

Well if RDR should be rated T, then so should Borderlands because of the Frilly Colurs.

You can trust me. :twisted: *wink wink* My ice cream truck is over this way kiddies---------->

Seriously though, I'm surprised it didn't get an AO rating. It's just brutal and I'm shocked at what it allows. Great game, but man. If any games out there today deserve an M rating, it's R*'s.

I think the M rating for it is appropriate. It has alot of violence and blood, and I do believe I've heard a couple of F-bombs dropped by characters in the game.

I think Red Dead Redemption should have had a longer campaign for a sandbox game. RDR is awesome but for such an open game I was expecting it to last longer than the 12 hours it took to finish the linear (but awesome)Alan Wake.

So TC... do you have any specific examples from GTAIV or RDR that supports your claim that RDR is less violent than GTAIV?

I don't think this game should have this bad stuff in it, i mean the first one, Red Dead Revolver didn't have this stuff in it. Besides nobody's gonna buy the game for the nudity of sexual stuff anyway! Maybe instead of these perverts making games they should do what they like best!

Maybe this is what they like? And honestly, the Old West was a teeming land of alcoholism, violence and sexual hedonism and debauchery. This game is just being more accurate to the time and place.

it's less violent, but that still doesn't matter, the game still has alot of blood in it as well as drugs, sex and swearing that a M rating in my books, who cares if it's less violent then another game?

There is very little sexual stuff in Red Dead Redemption, the only thing you see is a nude person hanging in a barn, some breasts once and male horse genitalia. That's about it. Otherwise Rockstar is sticking to the thing they do best.

That, plus Red Dead Revolver was a spaghetti western, and is unrelated to Red Dead Redemption story-wise, being a more serious, with little hints of other genres.

In a way, to emphasise the themes in Red Dead Redemption, these things were necessary.

Besides, it's not as if our clothes are permanently affixed to our skin. Gotta expect it some time.

I'm all for nudity in all games & movies - I think it decontructs and actually de-sexualizes human beings
