Last week, Brazil's advisory rating system let slip that CD Projekt's upcoming RPG Cyberpunk 2077 will be rated 18+ in the country. The listing was quickly taken down, but not before it was recorded for posterity on Reddit, which captured images of the rating and provided a handy translation of the content list, too....
Laughing so hard, why does Brazil's rating board have so many more catergories than ours? Granted, it's a translation, but like, 4 or 5 of those things get summed up in one category over here.



My favorites being "Exposure to danger", "Exposure to death corpse", "Intentional death", and "Moderate or hinted use of illicit drugs (Everyone)".

They have way more distinctions than ours. What is the difference between foul language and deragatory language? What is the difference between "Body injury" and "mutilation".

Most importantly, why is "Moderate use of illicit drugs" suitable for everyone and "Consume (sic) of Illicit drugs" 16+?

Also, "Blood" is only 12+? In the US blood and gore is what puts you in R movie rating or M game rating territory, it's generally accepted that movies and games can show excessive violence and as long as there is no visible blood or gore it can still get a PG-13 or T rating.

What's the difference between a "corpse" and a "death corpse"? How more extreme is an "intense sexual relationship" than a "sexual relationship"? Why does the use of "licit" (legal) drugs (note that licit drugs gets a 12+ rating and illicit drugs get a 16+ rating) result in any rating at all? It's like a G rated movie automatically gets a PG rating because it has a scene where the mom takes an Aspirin.

This list does really help you understand how Sepultura (particularly pre Sarcofago split) and Sarcofago come up with their lyrics, how stuff that sounds tough in their native tongue is a weird mixture of completely brutal and hilariously nonsensical at the same time. :lol: Since you can assemble pretty much any song with terms of the list. It sounds exactly like early Sepultura or Sarcofago too. Seriously, try it, it's fun.
