Ok...I was at the arcade and I saw Tekken 5 playing it's little demo screen thing like it always does, and I say, "Wow, awesome looking game, I think I might get." So I go on the site and it says it has sexual themes in it...Now why does THIS game have sexual themes in it? It is a fighting game, not Grand Theft Auto! Can someone explain why they included that in the rating? What in that game could be so sexual?

:huh:
 
Revealing costumes for the females ( nothing quite to Dead Or Alive's level mind you... ) and the fact that Anna Williams is a bit of a slapper with some of her phrases and victory poses.

But there's very little in the game to merit a warning, I've been playing it for nearly three years and really can't see why they'd put that warning on.

Dead or Alive was ridiculous for the bouncing cleavage.​

I agree wtih Sir Balthier on that obeservation, I'm sure the game creators of DOA spent 80% of their time mastering a perfect "breast bounce".

I assume the sexual themes, like the others have stated, is from the outfits that the characters wear, namely Nina and Anna Williams (especially Anna). She does like to... "flaunt" herself quite a bit, shall we say.

However, I would say that the level of sexual themes displayed in the games are no where near as explicit as DOA.
 
Sexual Themes is actually the most common and softest of all sexually related rating reasons and has appeared even on some E rated games, granted those are likely part of the reason behind the newer E10 rating.

Anyway, here is a list of every ESRB rating reason and what they mean:

Alcohol Reference - Reference to and/or images of alcoholic beverages
Animated Blood - Discolored and/or unrealistic depictions of blood
Blood - Depictions of blood
Blood and Gore - Depictions of blood or the mutilation of body parts
Cartoon Violence - Violent actions involving cartoon-like situations and characters. May include violence where a character is unharmed after the action has been inflicted
Comic Mischief - Depictions or dialogue involving slapstick or suggestive humor
Crude Humor - Depictions or dialogue involving vulgar antics, including “bathroom” humor
Drug Reference - Reference to and/or images of illegal drugs
Fantasy Violence - Violent actions of a fantasy nature, involving human or non-human characters in situations easily distinguishable from real life
Intense Violence - Graphic and realistic-looking depictions of physical conflict. May involve extreme and/or realistic blood, gore, weapons and depictions of human injury and death
Language - Mild to moderate use of profanity
Lyrics - Mild references to profanity, sexuality, violence, alcohol or drug use in music
Mature Humor - Depictions or dialogue involving "adult" humor, including sexual references
Nudity - Graphic or prolonged depictions of nudity
Partial Nudity - Brief and/or mild depictions of nudity
Real Gambling - Player can gamble, including betting or wagering real cash or currency
Sexual Content - Non-explicit depictions of sexual behavior, possibly including partial nudity
Sexual Themes - References to sex or sexuality
Sexual Violence - Depictions of rape or other violent sexual acts
Simulated Gambling - Player can gamble without betting or wagering real cash or currency
Strong Language - Explicit and/or frequent use of profanity
Strong Lyrics - Explicit and/or frequent references to profanity, sex, violence, alcohol or drug use in music
Strong Sexual Content - Explicit and/or frequent depictions of sexual behavior, possibly including nudity
Suggestive Themes - Mild provocative references or materials
Tobacco Reference - Reference to and/or images of tobacco products
Use of Drugs - The consumption or use of illegal drugs
Use of Alcohol - The consumption of alcoholic beverages
Use of Tobacco - The consumption of tobacco products
Violence - Scenes involving aggressive conflict. May contain bloodless dismemberment
Violent References - References to violent acts

As you can see, 'Sexual Themes - References to sex or sexuality' is sort of obscure... but basically what it means is that even a one liner like "you are one hot looking woman" could cause this rating... think Edgar in FF6. *wink*

You sure this isn't just a check list for Rockstar?:wacky:
 
Rofl, Tekken doesn't come close to Dead or Alive, must agree on that. I remember in the original, where you could adjust the "bouncyness" level. What does tekken have that compares to that? Mokujin's bouncy flower? Nah...

There's nothing overly sexual in the tekken 5 content. It's just one of those random comments that ESRB love to make.
