As to the chair. I am sorry I can't for this happens: Yep. Spin+Plant. As to finding the human body offensive.... it may not offend most people but it can be to others especially if they have Asperger's Syndrome. Plus when you grow up with one it makes you more sensitive to their feelings and as it has with me -may influence your beliefs. My brother had this syndrome in spades but was contradictory still highly functional and social. However anytime anyone touched him or showed him images like someone in swimming shorts he would literally LOSE IT. Sometimes he would run screaming and turn a room to shambles. Other times he would just curl up on the floor arms around his legs rocking back and forth FOR HOURS UPON HOURS! One time he sat there by himself oblivious to the outside world -literally from 9 AM to midnight he sat there -how he did not defecate himself I still don't know. One time after the following incident -which yes did spurn professional help. He told me that if or when anyone touched him it felt as if the contact was like making contact with flowing lava...in his mind it literally felt like 4th degree BURNS! One thing I will say about my brother who despite this disorder loves to play video games. Bad thing is when my brother starts something the outside world completely disappears and I MEAN COMPLETELY. And yes what follows is my fault -I have made it my mission since not to let myself EVER forget  -thus part of my reason for standing on this as so: One weekend while he was visiting a friend of mine (who was made aware of the disorder) my brother began to play ME1... My friend apparently didn't understand however and thought the disorder was something akin to obsessive-compulsive-disorder -which it sounds similar to but is NOT and is what some Doctors' originally thought he had. Well to make an already long story short. He found the game shortcut on my friends computer desktop and began to play ME1. He saw the rating but thought it was for as you say violence and language not the other. He played using one of my friends' saves and played to the Liara scene in ME1. My brother still says all he remembers at that point is blacking out. Of course I surmised what happened -my brother lost it. My friend called and said that my brother and turned the whole lower house inside out. Furniture was up ended -even the legs of one chair were ripped out -my brother has quite the muscle. Windows broken. Kitchen a-strewn. TV and computer both broken. And many other things as well still don't know why but he tried to flush the shower curtain as well. Of course we paid for the damages. But it did prompt both of our families to ere on the side of caution there after. My brother told me that what he had played of the game he liked. I told him there was a way around what had happened and he was all to eager to play again as long as I guided him past it. Not everyone fits the same criteria. And in such cases the optional can actually be beneficial to everyone not to mention save a lot of money. I know someone will disagree. So go ahead and rip a new one. I am familiar with Asperger's, trust me... this also sounds harsh, but you can't alter the world for them, it's on them and the people around them to shield them from it, certainly for these isolated cases, if he reacts like that to it, then maybe he needs to be more careful what he plays, as you say, its optional, easily avoidable if you just don't select the options that lead to the scene... you can deny that scene right up until it plays. Asperger's is... not curable as such, but really improvable... my advice, for what ever the fuck that is worth, is that locking away things that cause such distress ain't helping, you have to desensitize them... slowly, is he any better now? Asperger's often improves with age. He is better now but still can't stand people to touch him. Often saying if we do even graze his person he will slug us -so the warning is a plus. He usually is careful but in this case: there was no disk, not intro movies; just straight to main menu and ... I wasn't there. True I have tried to shield him but he gets angry when I do but I still try. I do my best to alter the world around him keeping things in check and actually deviating certain things that someone would normally take for granted. I am beginning to think he may be Asexual as well for anytime someone says they like him in more than a friend-like manner he shows an unbelievable aversion to the stimuli. Often stating for them to grow up and stop being a child but saying it a lot harsher -usually bringing tears or a sobbing fit from the other person all the while he could care less. As for the events like this... it is better he now -seems to only get a death-stare zone-out effect. Usually saying later he blacked-out but at least no more violent volcano episodes. |

Or.... people could just grow up? Is that mean? But really... it's a human (well, most of the time) body, people need to get over it... As to the chair. I am sorry I can't for this happens: Yep. Spin+Plant. As to finding the human body offensive.... it may not offend most people but it can be to others especially if they have Asperger's Syndrome.

And yes what follows is my fault -I have made it my mission since not to let myself EVER forget -thus part of my reason for standing on this as so: One weekend while he was visiting a friend of mine (who was made aware of the disorder) my brother began to play ME1... My friend apparently didn't understand however and thought the disorder was something akin to obsessive-compulsive-disorder -which it sounds similar to but is NOT and is what some Doctors' originally thought he had. Well to make an already long story short. He found the game shortcut on my friends computer desktop and began to play ME1.

And in such cases the optional can actually be beneficial to everyone not to mention save a lot of money. I know someone will disagree. So go ahead and rip a new one. The problem, however, rests in that he ignored the warning on the box "thinking it was for only violence and language.. but not for the "Partial Nudity" even though that is clearly a descriptor mentioned on the box. The ESRB doesn't put warning descriptors on the box for things that are not in the game; and people need to be more aware of that rather than reasoning their way to convince themselves that the warning isn't being serious or that the content warned on the box will "most certainly be optional anyways, so it's OK to ignore the warning." Now, the system even contains a means for people to find out more details about what the warnings are talking about in reference to that particular game. The Rating Summaries provide that detail and are available for any game made after the date they were first introduced. True, ME1 doesn't have such a summary, but it does warn about "Partial Nudity" and, the bottom line is that your brother should have taken that warning seriously... and perhaps it's you who should be teaching him how to go about finding the ratings summaries and encouraging him to take those warnings seriously... rather than teaching him that he should expect to be able to always "get around" such material using options within the RPG... because there is no guarantee that material will always be optional in every RPG. If it's warned on the box... you can expect to be exposed to it at some point in the game. If being exposed to it is going to likely upset you (for whatever reason), then don't buy the game. ... and BTW, my one son, who is probably older than you are, has autism. He was diagnosed at age 3 back when autism was believed to be extremely rare (affecting only 1 in 10,000 births) and there were essentially no ways to effectively help him (at least where I was living at the time). Despite all that, he is today a very well functioning and independent person; and I could not be more proud of him and what he has accomplished in his life so far. |

As I HAVE ALREADY stated my brother had no way of knowing. Also for the record ME1 was on MY FRIENDS COMPUTER -at my Friends' house. There was NO ESRB rating available to him -my brother. NO BOX. NO DISK. NO INTRO MOVIES He clicked the shortcut on desktop and the game launched. The game upon launch went straight to the main menu then he loaded save. He likes sci-fi games so he checked it. Liked the music in the menu and so he began to play. My friend uses a heavily modified version of ME1 that skips all the un-necessary stuff. Apparently you never have dwelt with someone in his condition. Hardly possible to teach -all you can really do is advise if they like the said game in favor for against, for it or around if possible. Also he never expects ways around games. Indeed before this he never asked. My Brother was visiting I WAS NOT THERE -much to my own chargin. My friend should have known though so now I am more angry than I was a bit ago thanks for that. |

My Brother was visiting I WAS NOT THERE. Then why did you say in your earlier post: "He saw the rating but thought it was for as you say violence and language but not the other"? How you're saying: "There was NO ESRB rating available to him." Sorry, you're clearly contradicting yourself here. Regardless of you not being there for that particular episode, he can still be taught by you (and your example) to look for ratings in the future and to take them seriously (providing he can read and I assume he can because he can play a game like Mass Effect). It's to his own benefit if he understands himself what triggers his episodes and to learn ways to avoid those triggers. I can also very much say that I HAVE dealt with someone in his condition. My son with autism has many, many sensory triggers. He functions in society (i.e. holds down a job and lives independently) by having learned himself what those triggers are and in finding various ways to avoid them as much as possible. Oh, and BTW, he could not speak much or really read until he was nearly of age to be in junior high school. His communication deficits were the reason he was diagnosed with autism and not Asperger's. ETA: I will, however, say that Bioware needs to be criticized for not displaying the ESRB rating and descriptor box onscreen before the game launches. I just checked this out by launching all three games on my Xbox 360. Many of the other games I have do show this information prior to launching and I can see no real excuse for Bioware not doing it. |

Give him a book and my brother tosses it like it is a bore to him just by looking at it. Even today he doesn't read. Maybe grade 1-2 if you can even get him to even look. Sure he understands that M, T, E are everyone, teen, mature but beyond that generalization-good luck trying to convince him otherwise. Like those people of the 10th century who believed the world was flat would believe it was round if you told them -very unlikely with him -he often will defy the facts. You tell him something it is going to take persistence and years to get through. So maybe yes with a lot of years my brother can be taught but over night, days or months -no. Sometimes I wish he could hold a job -my brother has gotten better true but not well enough yet to hold a job. His death-stare and zone-out episodes still prevent this. Nor would I want him on a job where some machine would come right at him and he just stares at it till he is slammed in the face. |

Whatever you can teach him, however, is worth it and in his best interest... regardless of how long it might take. My thoughts and prayers are with you (hope you don't mind.) The only reason I see that he can even function and respond -I think that like my parents (where he still lives) -I put forth the time to help him these days. No. I do not mind. I welcome all and thank you. |

There is a fine line to walk whether it feels either real or plastic. Hints of nudity (like in ME1) can be even more 'erotic' rather than full nude body shot. They just have to entice the player and thát can only be done with good writing, good voices and great use of cinematics. not gonna lie ME1 had the best scenes in terms of the bedroom. I mean liara... Which is ironic since it had by far the worst graphics of any game. Although the jack and miranda in ME2 were good two but jacks was more because it showed areal emotional connection |

The game will still be softcore compared to Witcher 3. The Witcher 3 is so dissapointing on the sex front. Same cinematic over and over, also he has underwear on most of the time. Its DA:O, but in better graphics, and also nipples. wait what? Are you talking about the hookers being the same or triss and yennifer being the same because they aren't. Also those two.. (well three since yennifer gets two) were way cooler then DAO. I am not one of those people that see's TW3 as the greatest game ever and thinks it is absolutely perfect. TW3 was a good place between the insane amount that TW2 had and an uncomfortable underwear scene |

I really hope Bioware geared this latest Mass Effect towards its mature audience. It's not like 17 y/o will be interested in the game seeing as it isn't social media or justin bieber didn't do the soundtrack. I cringe at the idea of not being able to flirt with hot gamer babes because the fear of them not being legal.

I was 16yo when I played mass Effect 2 a year after it released. It's clear the new game is geared towards teens since the Ryder's are effectively teens themselves.

All the games have a mature rating so I doubt MEA will be any different plus I think I have seen a pegi 18 for it so I don't think there's any need to worry.

Based on what we've heard, there will be some pretty explicit stuff (mostly sexually) so yes, it'll be adult. The Ryder twins are 22 so they are legit adults. No kiddie stuff here folks!

Teens don't have jobs these days so their parents would have to buy it for them. Good parents would respect the rating and not pervert the minds of their under 18 innocent children. |

This thread is a troll thread. I was playing GTA well before I was 18 and nothing in this game will be worse than GTA.

Only males play video games. The only hot gamer girls you'll be flirting with are fat sweaty dudes pretending to be girls, or G.I.R.L.s as they are also known (= guys in real life).

OP, there are some things you don't know about the world, let me tell you some of them:
Not every Teen is obsessed with Justin Bieber.
Some 17 y/o do have a job and are quite responsible
Some 17 y/o are quite spoiled and their parents will buy them anything they want
If a parent consents that their child can play a game that is rated higher than the legal esrb rating, the child can still play the game.
Mass Effect Andromeda will be rated M for mature and that means 17 y/o will be able to play the game!!!
