'GTA' Game Rating Changed to Adults-Only

SAN FRANCISCO - The video game industry on Wednesday changed to adults-only the rating of "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," a best-selling title in which explicit sexual content can be unlocked with an Internet download.

The decision followed intense pressure from politicians and media watch groups.

The game's producer, Rockstar Games, said it stopped making the current version of the game and is now working on a new version. It said it would provide new labels to any retailer willing to continue selling the version currently on store shelves, which had been rated "M" for mature.

Rockstar's parent company, Take Two Interactive, also admitted for the first time that the sex scenes had been built into the retail version of that game — not just the PC version but also those written for Xbox and PlayStation2 consoles.

Company officials had previously suggested that a modification created by outsiders added the scenes.

"There is sex content in the disc," said Take-Two spokesman Jim Ankner. "The editing and finalization of any game is a complicated task and it's not uncommon for unused and unfinished content to remain on the disc."

The sex scenes had prompted outrage from parent's groups and politicians, who are demanding federal oversight of video game ratings.

In a statement, the president of the Entertainment Software Rating Board said the sex scenes were programmed by Rockstar "to be inaccessible to the player."

But ESRB chief Patricia Vance also acknowledged that the "credibility and utility" of the industry-run board's initial "M" rating had been "seriously undermined."

my input on the subject. i can understand the orginal versin getting the rating changed to adult only. but they clear say they are giong to stop making it and make a 2nd version. which i would figure would have that coding out of the game. so the new version should get the M rating in my opinion. btw this is most likely the last gta now. what also doesnt make any sense is that it already warns about strong sexual content. so whats the different in this girl house problem? M rating meant 17 or older to begin with. so a audlt only rating means 18 or older. big F deal. this is stupid. dang freaken lib democrats at it again. pro censorship as always.

so base on the orginal rate. a 17 year old i would think if he or she was able to download the unlock patch mod then i would think they would know about p2p and all the porn crap you can get on it to begin with that is an actually real picture. not cartoonish. now in the real world of 10+ playing it are not going to go get the stupid patch. for as a 17 year old if they know how too do that then they know how to get the real stuff online. i would think that the kids that play these console games are not the same ones getting any to begin with.

I don't care about the stupid scenes. It's the gay people trying to fuck up the game industry.

yeah, they re-rated the game based on a MOD someone released MONTHS after the PS2 release. pretty stupid if you ask me, it ain't like the kid can enter a cheat to fuck some broad (hell, i doubt the kid knows where to find the mod) :rolleyes

whats even worse, is they can't leave useless code in a game without getting in trouble. but the greedy movie industry can release as many 'unrated' dvds as they want. just shows us who's word really matter <_>

hell, if the kid's too young to see some titties, he's too damn young to play GTA to begin with. the government needs to stop blaming companies for the actions of it's customers and worry about the more important things (murderers, rapists, child molesters, etc.), goes for the P2P cases aswell. i mean, they might aswell start blaming ford and chevy for people driving drunk, sue sony because people watch child porn with their dvd players, and sue DELL because they use their computers to download the porn. the courts are getting REALLY overzealous with their rulings, they're judges for christs sake...not the kings of mid-evil england :eekout:

Anywayz, back on topic...

I think the Sims should be given the AO rating cause I heard there was a little cheat/egg/feature where you can make the little charactors naked............. ;)

So perhaps I should sue for indecent exposure and see what happens. ;)

Install:

* Backup your data/script/main.scm and data/script/script.img files

* Replace the original main.scm and script.img files with the versions in this archive

* Start a new game (old savefile will no longer work)

* Go to one of your girlfriends, date her en take her home

you should find one a little ways through the first city, gangster chick, then you just go to her house, there will be a marker you walk into and take her on a date. if the date is successful she'll invite you in her place for 'some coffee' :)

edit: she's right around the corner from your original save point, down the alley on the side, take a right, and her house is on the right side of the road (after the bridge intersection) :D
