Starfield is too PG for its setting

[Deadman]

I reckon given Starfields setting after a Galactic war with space pirates galore and soldiers of fortune roaming space etc. The games actual portrayal of the setting is way too PG. For instance I reckon given how punchy many of the guns sound the visual effect doesn't match the sound. Like the Magpulse feels/sounds like it could take out a truck and yet when you end up one shoting someone with one there's no blood, no visible damage they just stagger a bit and then fall over.

It is PG because it was made by woke developers.

Yeah Starfield tried too hard not to offend or upset anyone and it shows in the game design. This kind of game design is just so damn boring. There's no thrill.

So called woke developers designed a mechanic into the game where you can steal a ship from a planet leaving the occupants there to die a slow death. Really???

I think they were going for a T for teen rating, but the fact you can go on a rampage killing civilians pushed them into M.

But the brain of a child who would be playing a PG game won't even make that connection

They made most NPCs essential. So you can't actually kill most of them.

Yeah, haven’t tried. From what I’ve read though, being able to attack civilians and blood splatter is what caused the M rating. To a lesser extent, Neon with the drug trade also, but main issue was violence. Game feels like it was designed to be PG-13 though.

I failed to convince the freestar ambassador to give me her archive key, so I put a slug in her head with my razorback and took her id and made it myself. There might not be blood and gore like in Fallout, but it's definitely not PG.

Slopfield is sanitised and sterile. The cities are too clean, even Neon. There is no sexuality or gore. Even the story telling is immature and simplistic.

This should have certainly been PG.

Not true at all. The game has a ton of killing.

I'm honestly surprised it got an M rating. They were clearly aiming for T. The game is very sterile in regards to sex and gore. No one is getting dismembered or blown up into little chunks and there's like 4 lines of vague innuendo that someone might have had sex.

Maybe it was the cocaine bass on Neon.

If you couldn’t attack non hostile characters and they removed any blood, it would have made T.

Once again, gamers whining that not enough tiddies in games.

That sounds more like aiming for E.
