This game is Age rated 12+ In the UK...
Why? The age rating in america is apparently 17+
So i think one side of this must be wrong here...

I am genuinely curious as to why the age rating is so different between our two countries and that the reasons for both age ratings clash with their respective reason.

For example, ESRB 17+ permits Intense blood/violence/gore, sexual content and/or strong language while PEGI 12+ permits slight violence towards fantasy characters or non realistic violence to humans as well as sexual innuendos/posturing and mild bad language.

There is no justification for that. You're just baiting. I wish we had active mods to stifle noise like this.

The violence in the game is pretty mild, a normal 12yo can handle that no problem, I'm sure :lunar2019piginablanket:

Have you tried... I don't know... looking up the game on the PEGI website which is the official source that rate games in the UK?

Here's some copy/pasta :

Advice for consumers

This game has received a PEGI 12 because it features moderate violence to fantasy characters and use of bad language. Not suitable for persons under 12 years of age.

Brief outline of the game

Third-person looter shooter in which players take on the role of a human gifted with powerful abilities who is part of a special organisation which is attempting to save humanity from an evil alien force.

Content-specific issues

This game features depictions of realistic violence to fantasy characters. Characters react realistically to violence, sometimes grunting or screaming when shot of killed, and use of blood effects. There is also non-realistic violence towards the playable human characters, with minimal physical reactions and some red blood effects.

This game contains use of bad language, including '♥♥♥♥' and 'bastard'.

Secondary issues/information

This game offers players the opportunity to purchase in-game items using real-world money, in the form of an in-game currency which can then be used to buy cosmetic skins. Some of these items are randomised. Some parents or carers may want to be aware of this. Parents, carers or other responsible adults should check to see what is being offered before making any purchase on behalf of a child. It should be noted that the game can still be played without the need to purchase such items.

Here's the sauce (source) where it comes from :

I guess that cutscene with Jeremy was a little tough, but aside from those things, I see nothing a 12 year old wouldn't know how to deal with. The swearwords, while existent, are surely harmless compared to what a 12 year old hears and says at school.

Guess the worst part IMO was the suicide bombing but that's a bit mild. Though the missing arm was also a bit disturbing.

Wow, well if you really are stalk-ing my profile and looked at my posts then you should have realized that I simply find all this crybaby and non sense complaining from your generation ridiculous and boring. You guys cry all the time and for everything. These is justa a sci-fi fantasy game, nobody is dying really, u know? Is just a fake future fiction game, all right? Kids today see much worse things and play much worse games. And that is the parents' responsibility to manage. So if it doesn't work for you or your child, just don't play or don't let him play. And stop pointing fingers at people and on gaming forums because you don't even know them or what they are like. BTW I don't even mind the nonsense of farming rewards on Steam. Im just a mr. nobody guy and I just play games for fun... unlike you lol

BYYYYYYE, and try to HAVE SOME FUN!!!! :steamhappy::steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup:

Usually americans are easily shocked by the human body... where in europe nudity is pretty normal and not something u get shocked by.

Like when americans go to a swimming hall and see naked ppl bathing before going in... where americans wud be covered up in full medieval armor.

Ratings systems aren't really based on consistent thought. Maybe chicks with nice bodies is a problem for prude American rating groups. Maybe they don't like the idea that there are idealized bodies in it. There could be plenty of dumb reasons for why.

Just ignore trolls or ass mad people on here. I can tell you are genuinely just curious about something. Not trying to stir the pot on "woke" issues or something like that.
