The Shivering Isles extension is not exactly kiddy thing either. |
I wasn't criticising Oblivion, simply pointing out that regardless of its content it was marketed towards younger gamers even if it does have an M rating. Every game has its fans and its critics, Oblivion is no different. The point that I was trying to make is that it appears to be easier to please younger or teen audiences than it is more mature gamers (purely from observing these boards it is quite clear that the majority of older gamers expect different things from a game than younger gamers). For this reason I feel it is easier to market a less mature game. However, when I use the term mature, it has nothing to do with sex, violence etc. but more the themes, and the whole gameplay (i.e. things like not having the solution to quests mapped out for you, storylines that are not quite so happy and fairy-tale like and so on).
