Will No More Heroes suffer Manhunt's fate?

If you guys remember, SUDA-51 said that NMH would be more violent than Manhunt 2. We all know how Manhunt 2 got the AO rating and is banned... but will No More Heroes suffer the same fate? I say no. Probably one of the biggest reasons Manhunt 2 got the AO was the Wii controls. Also, the violence in No More Heroes, while really more brutal like cutting people in half is more stylized and less involved. No More Heroes shouldn't receive and AO rating... I think.

What do you think?

Doubtful. If they feel it is has any chance at getting an AO rating at this point, they'll work to edit it down to M for sure. I don't think the game is that close to being finalized, but then again, I don't really know for sure.OldSkoolGamer04

I wouldn't want them to anything to it though. I would prefer they take the game to the ESRB to see if it's AO worthy. I wouldn't want them to take out stuff yet...

i hope we finally get a new trailer tomorrow

Generally it's stuff of sexual nature that ends up putting things into the AO catagory. Violence, nah. Something can be extreamly violent, but so long as it's not associated with sex seems to be okay.RahnAetas

Ahh... America... where sex is always worse than violence.

If it was the Wii's controls then the ps2 and psp versions would have gotten an M.

Manhunt got the rating because its plain Sadistic and the cruel sexual content.

i hope we finally get a new trailer tomorrow

Oh my god! That's tomorrow? Awesome. :D

it's cel shaded and stylized. It's not going to be realistic, think of it like kill bill. It's incredibly violent, but it's not to be taken seriously.SystemShock2

It's funny you say that because one scene had to be shot in black and white because of all the blood in America. Japan got it in color.

Had nothing to do with Wii control scheme. It was also slapped with the AO on PS2 and PSP.

No MOre Heroes doesn't contain any testicle removal as far as I know, so it should be fine.

No it won't, to get an AO raing you practically have to try and get it, and I seriously doubt No More Heroes has you ripping of peoples testicles and stabbing people in the eye with pens.

Remember, NMH's main weapon is a beam sword and not just a regular sword or knife. It's a fantasy/sci-fi weapon,so that in and of itself will make the violence in this game tolerable no matter how extreme it is.

Well it's pretty much impossible to have a serious disscussion on sex. You can talk about violence, gore, all that fun stuff, but if you talk about sex in any light, good or bad, you'll get looks. Odds are if you putsexual content on any game, no matter what other content it has, it will land an AO rating.

A kid ask about a man killing another man, the explanation is pretty simple to the kid "He wanted that man dead, it was the wrong thing to do in real life". Meanwhile, bring up rape and it's most likly going ot spark a huge ammount of stuff. Urges, why, sex, and most likly rape is assosiated with violence and a lot of force.

Yeah, but it seems ESRB is the only one who doesn't give extreme violence an AO rating. Games like Dead Rising have gotten AO ratings for violence. I think Gears of War has, too, but I'm not entirely sure.
