Rating again in the video game? Many people think that the question might arise. Games are games, what is the need to rate it again? But yes there is a need for the rating. Because the video game industry is no longer in the small range as before. One of the current video games is not less than a Hollywood movie. Now it is a matter of fact, playing video games is mainly from small children to teenage children. And their parents would not want their kids to learn something bad from video games or to be in trouble playing video games. As you can see the flavors of the movie, parents decide on the rating of the template and then decide whether the flame can be shown to their children; Similar to the ESRB rating of this video game, parents or guardians can get an idea about specific video game content. I'm talking about you. I play video games by myself since 2001 when I was 6/7 years old. In the era, video games were used to describe car racing, bike racing, short ball skipping (DX-Ball). But after the evolution of time, after 2010, when the graphics improvements in the video game world, the rating system was introduced with video games. Because there is a lot of things happening in the video game, from Violence, Sensitive Scenery. These may not be taken seriously by the elderly who we are, because they are not a matter of concern for us. But when your son or daughter or your youngster plays this same game you can get in trouble. Currently, video game makers have not only made games for teenagers or younger kids but have already started making video games for attracting adult video games. Naturally, a child or a teenager does not have to make any cost to attract video games, but there is a lot of change in the game-players in the video games to increase the interest of video games in an adult. Nowadays, there are games that are not easy to play in video games as well as games like graphics with various graphics and sensitive sounds, and games with different types of adolescents.

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is a non-profit voluntary organization that sets ratings for video games and apps. The ESRB rating gives information about the age setting, content setting and interactive setting of a specific game. Viewing this rating will allow anyone to get a brief idea about a particular game or app content.

How does ESRB rate video games?

The ESRB is a voluntary organization and the company's volunteers give a rating with the game before releasing any video game. Many of you have heard that many people are playing certain games before the release. In fact, they are testing the game and send their test results to the ESRB organization and later the company put a rating of that game on their site (http://www.esrb.org). It is worth noting that in the US, there is no game decree in the game shops without the rating of this company and at the same time there is no video game license available without a rating. Because of the sex and violence content of the Mortal Kombat game in 1994, the United States government criticized the game. That's why this Entertainment Software Rating Board was formed in 1994. From the video game playing directly to the original board, the officials see the footage of the game, the game's creator sends different questions to the organization, watches the packaging of the game and reads the storylines of the game at any time. Sometimes the lyrics of songs contained in the game are also read. After that, the board could play the game with the Volunteer gamers if no decision comes.

What are the ratings and what do they mean?

There are basically 5 (five) types of ESRB ratings that you can find in a game decade. These are:

1) E (Everyone) - Anyone of any age will be able to play this rating. Parents have no reason to worry about these rating games

2) E 10+ (Everyone 10+) - All of these games can be played, but the children below 10 years of age should not be allowed to play these games.

3) T (Teen) - It is not okay to let anyone below 13 years play this rated game. Because these games are provided with light vector, hard ward etc.

4) M (Mature 17+) - Only adults should play this rated game. Because no such filter is used in these games. You are fighting in a battleground, and your commander here will certainly not make the enemy a "polite" masquerade!

5) AO (Adult Only 18+) - All of these ratings must be kept away from the games. Because these are 18+ games. These contain extreme quantities of sexual content and other hard content. Many of us have a wrong impression that these 18+ games contain only sexually explicit material. The incident is not the case. A video game was made only to cut the body of the hospital. Now this game will definitely get a rating of 18+ because no child or teenage age can be able to endure this scene.

Apart from these, there are two more ratings, which are usually very few, which are:

6) EC (Early Childhood) - This rated game is made only suitable for young children. It is not the children of other age groups who cannot play these games, but these games are made very easy because others of these games will have to take a call without having children. For example, an adult would never want electricity, spending money on the "watermelon cockroaches" to play games!

7) RPP (Rating Pending) - This rating is given when a video game is released without the ESRB ratings. The rating is given when a demo or draft games are released before the release of full games.

S:N: These ratings are available at the corner of the first box of the DX box when you buy a game's DX. When the decode is inverted, you will get a brief overview of the game by the ESRB in the back cover. These are called Content Descriptors. These are:

Where to get these ratings?

Usually, these ratings are available in front of the New Dix Box while you buy games. If you have Content Descriptors in the game then it will be found behind the Dux Box. You can also get ratings on the Official ESRB Website and Free ESRB Mobile App. However, it is noteworthy that in our country, there is very little competition in the original game, so you can not get these ratings in the Dixbox while purchasing the pirated disc, because the design of the pirated box separates our country's "Talented Game Dix Seller". In this case, if you search directly with the name of the game from the ESRB website or app then you will get detailed information about the ratings and description of the game.

By seeing this ESRB rating, you can get a slim idea even if you do not get a complete idea of ​​any video game, so that you can make quick decisions about whether the game is suitable for you / your child / for your younger sibling. But there is a word here too. Most of the popular games series Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto (GTA) have received M rating, but that means that players should not play games under 17 years of age. But how many people believe this rule? It turns out that your 11-year-old son is now playing Vice City, or you have bought the GTA V Game for your 15-year-old little brother! It is said that video games like video games look like these events are okay, but you do not want that your teenage children play call-of-duty games, in real life, to shoot someone, or play GTA series of sports, driving at the speed of speed/vehicle /bike Clever

I ended up today's tune as a last word. That's the most popular online games of all popular games. And remember that you will not get the correct ESRB rating in an online hit game. A popular online game such as Fornite but a game rated T (Teen). So many parents, but safely, let their teenage children play in the game. But the game's online chatting or voice chatting did not even have an ESRB rating and could not do it. Because it is not possible to rate online chatting or voice chatting. It is said that online content is not rated by ESRB Now in the T-rated rating, this rating becomes futile when someone starts chatting online or chatting with voice chatting.
