My Mom won`t let me play Soul Calibur IV...?

Question

My mom has always been a bit crazy about what games I play. My brother just left for college, leaving me with his xbox360. Now, despite the fact that SCIV is rated T (and I am, in fact, a teen) and I have played the game before, my mom won't allow me to play it. While I appreciate her concern, this is becoming annoying. I there anything I can do to make my mom see that I am mature enough to play the game?

Answer 1

Even though the game is rated "T", it does contain mild language, violence, sexual themes, and partial nudity. There are very good reasons for your mother to be concerned with the content of the games that you are playing. While you may be a "teen", it does not mean that you are mature enough for the content.

Answer 2

I don't know your mother, nor do I know her sensibilities. I don't know why she would find Soul Calibur so offensive. No nudity, no profanity, Voldo is a little odd but most of the characters are fairly benign. Yes, it's a fighting game and therefore 'violent', but seriously... anyone watch CNN recently? Will she sit down and go through the game with you? Look at the beautiful visuals? Can you explain the complexity and depth of the moves and combos so that she might see that it's not just ppl smacking each other randomly? How about the story?

Here's the link to the ESRB site... Maybe that will help:

I don't know... sometimes you just have to roll with it until you're out of the house.

ps. Partial nudity... mild language? show me the offensive material. I'd love to have a peek. I haven't seen anything that pushes the envelope.

Answer 3

soul calibur is a very unrealistic game. I'm unsure if there is blood in that one but just explain it to your mom that your never gonna be fighting yoda or darth vader to the death and that it is just a game and does not influence you in anyway. also try explaining the rating system to her the people who do it are normally pretty strict bout it.
