Clodfobble,
Thank you for your clarification. I especially like the concluding sentence:

GTA should not be rated AO, it should be rated M. But REALLY, it should be rated R.

I get it, and I agree.
I judge myself to be pretty well informed in matters electronic, including games, and I have relied very little on the game rating system. I *do* see other people using in the way you'd expect it to be used, E, everyone, T, teen, etc. But I get so little from the game rating that I find it practically useless. I think all the ESRB folks are treading a fine line (I hope it's a fine line and not a big wide gray swamp) between enough action and talk and labeling to satisfy the government that they're handling it themselves, and not enough actual hard facts about content to depress consumers from hesitating to, well, consume.
For me though, they're irrelevant.
