See? Pig

@Snatcher Yeah i cant swim so the idea of being underwater fills me with a sort of terror that cant really be matched. I cant see or hear properly, i dont have normal control over my movement, and i cant breath. Add in an unidentifiable animal that's going to (at worst) eat me or (at best) watch me die and it's just bad news. At least I can smoosh bugs (PSA i dont - i'm a catch-and-release kinda guy).

@Eel I apologize. As long as you're in water less than 6 feet deep we should get along fine.

@Link-Hero I have Really Bad Anx, And I walked into a Blade scene when I was Little, MK, Hell Even COD, If he wanted help I could Help him if he wanted, There is a way to move on from it. (Oh and Watched DDLC But idea)

What I'm going to blame My anx on how I treat people? No, Its a problem people can support, They can help, But never should you use a Issue you have, to blame your actions. (I hope that didn't come out wrong.

@Anti-Matter I just wanted to say that the PEGI rating system only affects the European video game market. I know that you don't live there so it won't really have an effect on your purchases unless you're regularly importing from Europe.

I know that you feel very strongly about age ratings on your games so you can likely just purchase from a different market that doesn't have this very specific clause in their ratings, such as ones with the ESRB rating system .

@alpacatears
Yeah.
There are some cases about purchasing games that i have to check from their age rating first, from ESRB, CERO and PEGI.
Example: The Sims 3 / 4 console version
ESRB = Teen (Okay),
CERO = C (Not okay),
PEGI = 12 (Okay)
So for The Sims 3 / 4 games on console version i will pick either USA version or PAL Europe version since they got rated with age rating that according to my golden rules, but i will not pick the Japan version since it rated CERO C and i only play Japanese games with age rating CERO A & CERO B.

Another example: FF XII The Zodiac Age.
ESRB = Teen (Okay),
CERO = B (Okay),
PEGI = 16 (Not Okay),
Asia English = 12+ (Okay)
So for FF XII case, i picked USA / Asia English version but i avoid PAL Europe version since every PEGI 16 & 18 games are prohibited in my gaming area.

Example of game that i will never allow despite it has ESRB = Teen.
WWE games.
ESRB = Teen with Blood in the game (Banned)
CERO = C (Not okay)
PEGI = 16 (Not okay)
Mild blood (some general RPG games) or Animated blood (Ratchet & Clank games) from video games are still tolerable for me but Blood from ESRB description (WWE games, Tales games started from Xillia, UFC) = instant banned even they are rated Teen.

I will only pick games with at least 2 acceptable age rating from different regions and some deliberation about the contents inside (checked from ESRB).

@Anti-Matter That seems rather arbitrary and doesn't really make sense. Odd that you won't allow WWE games, but from some of your other comments you are fine with boxing games.

I get that you might not want to play violent or overly sexual games or whatever, but to have a blanket ban on something purely because if the rating without considering why it got that rating just baffles me. Makes it even more baffling that you actively try to find loopholes in your own rules by playing the same game from another region because of the different ratings they use.

@dmcc0
When the games got rated in Teen age area, it need some deliberation before i make decision.
I will find the contents from ESRB rating, compare the age rating from other region and analyze the impact of the contents for my brain.
It took a long process for deliberation, considering from the age rating in three different regions, the game contents, the themes in game and something trivials.
From here i must think carefully, is that game still safe for me ?
Will i regret if i consider that game ?
Did i like with the things from that game ?

About the contents that i still tolerate or accept, here are the contents that i approved based on ESRB.

Cartoon violence, Mild cartoon violence, Comical mischief, Fantasy violence, Violence
Mild blood, Animated blood
Mild suggestive theme, Suggestive theme
Simulated gambling (from rated E & E10+ kids games)
Mild lyrics
Mild language, Language (from E10+ games as long no swearing)
Alcohol reference
Crude humor

About Boxing games, only certain boxing games i accepted, considering the age rating and the contents inside.
A Cartoonish Boxing games with age rating Everyone, Everyone 10+ / PEGI 7 / CERO A
(Wii Sports, Animal Boxing NDS, ARMS, K-1 Pocket Grandprix 1 & 2 GBA, Boxing from Mario & Sonic games, Boxing from Deca Sports Freedom XBOX 360, Boxing from Dual Pen Sports 3DS, Boxing from Sports Champions 2 PS3) are definetely YES for me since the violence level is milder than rated Teen / PEGI 12 Boxing games (Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions, K-1 games on PS2) with moderate violence level but still acceptable for me as long No blood spilling until it looked bloodshed like Fight Night and No brutal way to punch like UFC.

When i gave a ban for the game, that means there was at least one content that i have ZERO tolerance with them. Whenever i see these contents: Blood, Use Drugs, Coarse language, Gore, Strong violence, Strong sexual theme (Explicit Pornography), etc even just only one (like Tales of Xillia, Tales of Zethiria with Blood content from the anime style event or blood spilling from violence in WWE games or UFC fight) i will instantly ban that game.
And when i ban the games, they are not allowed in my gaming area and i will never like games with forbidden contents like that.

Well, that was the way i take some deliberation and process before considering the games.

@Anti-Matter Do you actually buy the version from a different region so as not to break your own rules? Is there a reason in particular that you don't like mature games, or just personal taste?

As for boxing games, it always puzzles me whythey are rated lower than WWE games. I guess it's likely that it's the weapons that are present in some WWE matches and the perception of violence rather than actual violence, but the TV broadcasts are PG-13 in the US and is essentially scripted/choreographed violence but a sport like boxing where you are literally trying to punch someone until they get knocked out is fine for a teen rating in a video game.

The distinction between cartoon violence and realistic violence in games can be a pretty fine line sometimes. I recently played Carrion, which I'm sure is PEGI18 as it's full of gore, but it's a pixel-art platformer and I'd argue that it's borderline cartoon violence and doesn't really deserve the 18 rating IMO.

"Do you actually buy the version from a different region so as not to break your own rules?"

Yes, i bought The Sims 4 PS4 USA version, FF XII TZA USA version, FF XIII PS3 USA version.

"Is there a reason in particular that you don't like mature games, or just personal taste?"

I was the victim of traumatic experince when i was young. I have ever accidentally saw a very gory, sadistic and ultra violence game at game rental when i was visiting mall with my parents. I have ever accidentally watched a very gory adult movie from my aunt's house where there was a female got deskinned alive with piercing chains by a living monolithic statue then she got sucked into statue and became a stone (And i suddenly stop watching and i was scared looking at a tall plastic cabinet in my aunt's house because the plastic cabinet looked like the evil living statue that deskinned a female and suck it alive from my imagination). I have ever accidentally watch some horror movies from local tv channels before i realized it was really disturbing my brain and made me angry when i get older. I have ever being forced to work in my Dad's shop by my sibling with a lot of smokers from the customers and i didn't even allowed to warn the customers to stop smoking when i lost my job in year 2015 (i was being forced to be a passive smokers there, it was really torturing my body and i have ever thinking to suicide due to that situation as i felt really despair for not getting a new job while still working at my Dad's shop during January until June 2015).
As i grew up, i felt regret and angry to myself for the horrible experiences from adult things i have experienced when i was kid. Since then, as my retaliation, i started to hate every single things from adult things.
I hate gory, bloody things, ultra violence.
I hate peoples smoking.
I hate peoples swearing and bad mouth talking.
I hate horror movies and games.
I hate psychopat peoples like Joker.
I hate peoples using or having dirty business with illegal drugs.
I hate over exposing nudity from females, it was treating females like a trash.
And still so many disgusting things from adult world that i really hate to deal with them. I saw adult world was like an Evil place with only Negative and Useless things came out from there. And that's why i ban adult things so they will not ruining my life again.

I'm really sorry if i have to tell what was happened about me in the past. 😔
I have suffered with a lot of pain from adult things. If i illustrate my brain in Inside Out Disney Pixar style, you will see a lot of Core memories balls with Glowing Fiery Red colors (Anger) as when i got triggered by those core memories, i will get really angry and showing no mercy toward the things that ruined my childhood.

I think we can move on to a different topic now.

This doesn’t need to become a therapy and/or “here’s why you’re wrong” session. Nothing will come out of it and this is not the right website for that.
