edit: Wooh! I found a spelling error from you teacher! >:)

 

 

I think this is getting back to the same old arguement.

 

This game is fun!

ironically, one of the greatest 'lessons' for you youngsters that play this game is that the eggheads who pretend to have all sorts of answers they DON'T have are full of crap. like they know god, what affects things they NEVER do have on folks, stuff like that. THESE are the people you should 'fear'. they're all about controlling you and staying at the head of the table through FRAUDULENTLY claiming to know about any number of things they actually know nothing about. FIGHT THE POWER!

 

go libertarians.

I find it rather sad that many of the kids here are saying "my parents don't care what I do". I'm quite sure that they DO care, they're just too ignorant  about what's actually in these games to make any kind of an adult decision about it. If they DO know what's in these games and they really don't give a crap, then they're probably crappy parents for letting any of you play these games without some sort of guidance.

 

I'm not saying they need to hold your hand or anything, but I think at least confirming to you that the things in the game are bad and should never happen in real life is a sign of a parent who at least takes an interest in what their child is exposed to.

 

The age thing is relative because there's mature 12 year olds who can handle this game, and then there's grown 30 year old men who cringe at the sight of it.

 

The ESRB ratings are guidelines to let parents know what sort of content a game contains. Some parents are comfortable exposing their kid to R rated material, some aren't. Personally, I wouldn't let my kids play an M rated game until they were 15 or so, but that's just one person's opinion.

 

If you can handle this game without trying to emulate the character's attitudes, actions and other stuff then you're mature enough to play. If you're one of those retards who runs around saying "Fo' sho'" to everything and giving gang signs to your teachers, you need to go play with your Bert and Ernie playset a bit more.

You have a point, but saying their crappy parents because they let their son or daughter play violent games is a pretty generlised opinion. Althought parents may let their son or daughter play the games, doesnt mean they are crappy parents, but means that they trust their son or daughter not to go on a killing spree at the shopping centre, or treat people with little or no respect!

LOL yeah it was pretty generalized, but I think you got my meaning. There's plenty of parents that are aware of what these games are like who trust their kids and know they're mature enough to handle things like this.

 

The "bad" parents are the ones who are so totally out of touch and make it clear to their kid that "I don't care what you do". -- That's the sad part for me.

way to think for yourself there! and don't mind those types tend to like to demean folks that think for themselves (he's bad...etc)...f**k em, they aren't worth spending any time with. believe me, i've been there (raised as a christian...by folks who like to use their pretend knowledge of god (a lie) as an excuse to abuse anyone whom they couldn't force to choose as stupidly as they do).

I almost start to think most of the people on this forums are 14,

(I am) almost everybody says "Im 14."

about the age rating of the games, it's easy to blame video games for all the violence, but it's not the only factor. bad parents who let their kids do anything they want, and raise them with the idea that violence is normal. are wrong too.

for some kids violence is normal, it's possibly in their brains or something, they're crazy, and they think violence is the only solution, because in some video games, like GTA, it is.

and they do something mad, like shooting their teacher (some time ago where I live it happened.) and people start blaming GTA and other videogames, because a small group of idiots spoil it for the rest of the world.

also, I know, it's easy to blame GTA, but look at this.

 

Yea i'm 14 qnd i've been playing all the GTA's and my parents don't care so f*ck those ppl who think us kids don't know right from wrong!!! 

 

I dont really give a F*CK about laws.

what do these guys have with the word f*ck? I don't care, but I don't understand what's the reason.

do they think they're cool, because they say f*ck?

it aint' watching violence that causes violence. it's pretending you're opinions are such that you can devalue another person's position enough to physically harm or even kill them.

 

course there are stone cold killers too. but why some folks admire them, i'll never know.

 

most killing is done in the name of god anyway. always been that way. these folks should have the roughest time in the afterlife (assuming there is one) IMO. personally i intend to escape all folks who pretend to know about such things and use that as an excuse to harm others.

There are too few accounts of people saying that videogames convinced them that violence was okay to hate the videogame industry because of it. This is just my opinion.

Well I'm the wrong side of 30 so its fine to for me to be playing this game, when I get a chance. I usually have to wait for my 8 year old son to be in bed first, as here in the UK this game has an 18 rating the same as a movie would. So therefore I certainly wouldn't allow him to play or even let him watch me play it. It simply isn't suitable for him to play this game & the law says so. If he went to buy it or rent it from a store they wouldn't sell it to him or they could be prosecuted. If he went to a cinema do you think they would let him in to watch the Texas Chainsaw Massacre or a film like that ? Not a chance in hell. He does understand the difference between real life & games but in my opinion somebody so young does not need to be seeing people shot in the face at point blank range with a sawn of shot gun & such, let alone be participating in such past times. All you teenagers on here may think thats a boring attitude to have but I'm just abiding by the regulations & laws of my country which are obviously there for a reason, to protect children. All in all I see myself as a responsible parent

If u pick up a gun and u were playing GTA u r a retarted freak because if video games did convince us to kill people why did'ent pac man or space invaders do it?

 

 

I dont think that motherf*ckers that take out a gun are cool they are dickheads.

lol. yeah i feel cheated. childhood would've been loads more fun/tolerable if we had these games back then!

 

not to mention, i seriously think these games make you smarter, like a multi level mental workout on some level. only using interesting and exciting subject matter...as opposed to memorizing multiplication tables.

 

i don't support stupid laws or stupid people who support victimizing others over THEIR choices concerning 'safety'...what a COP OUT. that's just vicious morons primary EXCUSE to abuse others..."won't someone think of the children?" sheesh

 

i AM thinking of them, and those types of folks in charge is NOT good for them.

Im 15, playing it on san andreas xbox, and finished it 3 times. I still remember when my older brother introduced me to the original gta when i was really young and playing that. tounge.gif

 

I dont think the violence in the games has messed me up at all. Im still a pretty nice kid, and im not violent at all. allthough i guess the first few gta games didn't effect me because that wern't really as graphic as san andreas
