Dit is de reden voor de M-rating van Batman: Arkham Knight
Batman: Arkham Knight heeft in de VS een "M for Mature" rating gekregen, wat inhoudt dat de game geschikt wordt geacht voor wie 17 jaar en ouder is. De vorige games in de reeks hadden in de VS een rating van T for Teen, wat geschikt geacht wordt voor wie 13 jaar en ouder is. Nu is ook bekend waarom de laatste game in de trilogie een strengere rating heeft gekregen, maar alvorens je de samenvatting van de rating instantie al dan niet leest, waarschuwen we natuurlijk wel voor mogelijke zware spoilers.
Content Descriptors: Blood, Language, Suggestive Themes, Violence Rating Summary: “This is an action-adventure game in which players primarily assume the role of Batman as he battles several villains spreading chaos across Gotham City. Players traverse a variety of locations around Gotham while battling thugs, examining crime scenes, and occasionally rescuing hostages. Players engage in melee-style combat using punches, kicks, and gadgets (e.g., batarangs, explosives). “Enemies cry out in pain when struck, and some takedowns are highlighted by brief slow-motion effects and loud impact sounds. Some sequences allow players to use tank-like vehicles with machine gun turrets and rockets to shoot enemies; a vehicle’s wheels are also used to torture an enemy in one sequence. Cutscenes depict characters getting shot (on and off camera) while restrained or unarmed. Large bloodstains/pools of blood appear in crime scenes and in the aftermath of violent acts; one room depicts a person torturing a character on a bloody operating table. “During the course of the game, players can shoot unarmed characters and a hostage. Neon signs in a red-light district read “live nude girls” and “XXX.” The words “b*tch,” “gobsh*te,” and “a*s” appear in the dialogue.” |
