Here's the first ratings information from Australia about Mass Effect Andromeda, so we need a thread... the game has now been rated in AUS as MA15+. The consumer advice says it has: “Strong sex scenes and violence, online interactivity" The rating goes even further and says the game has moderate impact on themes, violence, language, drug use and nudity. The sex scenes are noted down in having a strong impact.Thanks, Solas , good catch. ESRB (US) Mass Effect™: AndromedaPlatform: Windows PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One Rating Category: 'M' Mature Content Descriptors: Blood, Nudity, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, Violence Other: Online Interactions Not Rated by the ESRB (Windows PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One) Rating Summary: This is an action role-playing game in which players lead humanity to a new home across the galaxy. As players explore various planets, they use futuristic weapons (e.g., laser rifles, Cryo-beams, shotguns) and special abilities (e.g., concussive blasts, telekinetic pushes) to combat hostile alien races. Battles are frenetic, highlighted by realistic gunfire, explosions, and screams of pain; enemies sometimes emit splashes of blood when hit. During the course of the game, the central character can develop relationships with crew members and engage in brief sexual encounters with them. These brief sequences (couplings) depict sensual caresses, sexual moaning, and hip gyrations; characters' breasts and/or buttocks are sometimes exposed for prolonged periods. The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “a*shole” can be heard in the dialogue. www.esrb.org/ratings/Synopsis.aspx?Certificate=34833&Title=Mass+Effect%u2122%3a+Andromeda Europe (PEGI)www.pegi.info(pending non-provisional confirmation) AustraliaClassification MA 15+ Strong sex scenes and violence, online interactivity Link to Australian Classification / Department of Communications and the Arts for Mass Effect Andromeda: www.classification.gov.au/Pages/View.aspx?sid=spKM6nAyBDoiAIjbhcck%2bg%253d%253d&ncdctx=bB0tyt5W3ACeeRNloGP6JvRHpwSFy6zeiTG4CBLtd0YtMs5vTfq4zrf%2bIWBzpck8

Nipples are a reason to scream how video games are evil but beating people to death and seeing bits of brain and gore are perfectly fine.

Out of curiosity, what did they give Inquisition? Australia considered DAI had more violence than MEA but no drug taking. They rated the nudity and sex scenes the same, so consider DAI a useful benchmark, as far as Australia are concerned anyway.

Nudity is a given, but the "strong sex scenes" is a new one. I guess that means it's gonna get intimate

I hope we aren't forced into a lot of those things. As the Dev's have said over and over again, player choice is very important; the only way you can end up in one of those situations is if you've pursued it.

They forced Shepard for example to use language and drugs(well alcohol but I'm guessing that is under the same thing).

Sorry I'm a bit ignorant and I certainly have no idea about how the ratings are in Australia. Does "MA +15" means that the game is for +15 years old? What is the rating for Europe and USA?

Out of curiosity, what did they give Inquisition? They both have almost the same ratings, DAI had more violence and language, but sex and nudity rate is the same. DAI did not have any drugs use, and MEA will have ''moderate'' use but it probably will be optional or even some other characters will use it in game and not Ryder.

I was hoping we wouldn't have nudity this time, but I knew it was inevitable considering DA:I, and ME always being a bit more immature in that regard. Oh well. Still, I have no idea how to read that gauge. What is considered "moderate" nudity? The same as DA:I? Something else? Also trying to make sense out of "strong sex scenes" but only "moderate" nudity. Drug use? This is new to Mass Effect Not overly strong language, or am I misinterpreting? As always, I'm hoping drug use, strong language and nudity are all optional to a certain degree. I.E. I'd rather not see any nudity without being in a romance, and any drug use or strong language should be optional. I'd rather no nudity at all, honestly, especially of the player character, but majority rules... I knew it would be something like this, but still, bleh.
