ichizuzu Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 There's a reason ppl don't like underage kids playing M-rated games. If you have ever played Halo online, you'll understand where we're coming from. If not you can't judge. I'm a big fan of halo 3 online... I know where you're coming from with squeeky annoying kids. yep, those little bastards who shout curse words they don't even know the meaning of. It may not be fair, but when I think 'underage gamer' I immediatley think of them.

cochese Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) for the love of God, everything these days is so fricken censored. I swear that the government, and this is for the US, and is 15 times worse because of ridiculously liberal NJ, practically takes away whatever choice the parents do have with some things anymore. The drinking age, for instance. 21 years old? Jesus becuase its so high you have kids who dont understand their limits and are so excited to have alcohol illegally that they binge drink and get alcohol poisoning. Back when the drinking age was 18-19, that was practically non existent in high school kids becuase it was no big thing to obtain alcohol. Now they even have it down to video games. Its a freaking game, and if your really gonna go out and steal cars and blow crap up and shoot people, then u obviously have more issues than just what you have seen in a video game. Do i think you should sell the game to 10 year olds? No. Do i believe 16 year olds? yes why not. Sure those young kids with their whiney voices are annoying, but hey what can you do. mine as well legalize marijuana, get all of the taxes from that and limit the THC content (do i smoke? no i dont, i just believe it should be legalized or atleast decriminalized if alcohol is), lower the drinking age to 19 and call it a day. Let people mess up and give some responsibility back to parents, and you wont have a nation filled with people to dumb to make the right choices on their own. Yeah... i got a little carried away but it happens lol. im 23 Edited April 19, 2008 by cochese Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/328710-people-who-complain-because-of-underage-gta-lovers/page/2/#findComment-1057852465 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bang508 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Ok, so I was just reading a thread where this guy was complaining about there being too many underage GTA fans...For all you people who feel the same, just think about it. If you were 15/16 whatever, and GTA IV was on the horizon, would you tell your mum or dad not to buy you GTA IV because you're underage? No, I didn't think so... So basically stop being an uptight bastard and stop being jealous because you're not the only person in the world who has access to possibly the greatest game of the decade... Oh and I'm 18... thats a parents job to decide what they want for there kids. kids dont makes rules. you will understand when you get a lil bit older i guess. but i definately agree at the same time. if that makes sense. lol Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/328710-people-who-complain-because-of-underage-gta-lovers/page/2/#findComment-1057852483 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now about those annoying 12 year old brats, thats a different story Also i got GTA Vice City and GTA3 when i was 9 years old Same here (except I'm turning 15 in 29 days) I'm not an annoying squeeky 12 year old and I'm damn mature for my age Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/328710-people-who-complain-because-of-underage-gta-lovers/page/2/#findComment-1057852596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zikomos Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I've been playing video games online since I was 12 (I'm 18 now) and I always thought younger kids were annoying, even when I was young. I always preferred to play with older people who were in college and stuff. Maybe I'm just crazy though!

infiniteammo Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 When I was 12, I was playing games like Police Quest and Leisure Suit Larry (showing just how old I really am, which is 31) when they'd come out. Both of those game series had far more graphic (though not realistic) gore and sexual content than Grand Theft Auto has had. In Police Quest I'd investigate (sometimes rather gruesome) murders, drug deals, etc., and tracking serial killers across the country... though mainly I spent my time trying to get all the procedures correct so my traffic tickets wouldn't get thrown out of court. In Leisure Suit Larry I had my little dude on the monitor humping on anything that moved, full nudity was there (though not easily available), and the sexual innuendo was thick (sorry, bad joke). If I had a child, I'd allow them to play GTAIV if I was playing it, and if they understood that like TV, it's not real, you don't do those things in real life, and you know what... almost all kids don't even need to be told that, I mean "DUH!"... It's retarded. The bad thing is we live in a society where the prudes are well organized, Hillary Clinton hears about Hot Coffee, and calls a special meeting of congress to "Address the issue.", Jack Thompson's off his nut, and they're related politically. Back in the late 80s early 90s, Jack Thompson and Tipper Gore (Al Gore's wife, and Hillary's friend) got 2 Live Krew's Luke Skywalker arrested in Florida for indecency regarding rap lyrics, which in their words were "Corrupt the youth, evil, an affront to God, and morally destitute" amongst other things. Many years later, is it any wonder why our courtrooms are so messed up when you have Jack Thompsons running amok and Hillary Clinton in the white house (hopefully not again). In the end, if you're not 18, it's your parents responsibility to decide what's best for you, not Jack Thompson's, not Hillary Clinton, not the ESRB or the Local, State, or Federal Government, or anyone else. It's a family matter. Nothing more needs to be said.

Unisom Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) I'm going to have to be in the unpopular minority position here and say I still believe in some form of rating ssytem. To this day I hear more use of racist and homosexual slurs on Xbox Live than anywhere else. We may possibly have the most foul-mouthed youngsters that has ever lived on the planet. I even listen to Howard Stern uncensored and rap music but I hear more worse things on Xbox Live from little kids, teenagers, and 18 year olds who think they're out of the teenage woods. What created such a population of garbage-infested minds? While you say let the parents decide for their children, let me remind you sometimes the parents are either too distracted or too ignorant themselves and let their child see and play these things without restriction. I think the ESRB is better in place than not in place. It doesn't have to be observed strictly to the dot, but it helps when the USA has a huge population and the ESRB is trying to offer some guideline for parents, who are not versed on the subject of video games, to go by. I dont think you have to be 18+ just to play GTA4, but I don't think you can be 11 or 9 years old either. There's a reason why movies are also divided by age groups. A movie like 'Requiem For A Dream' is too intense, bizarre, and prone to misinterpretation if viewed by an 8 year old child. So is a powerful movie like 'Schindler's List.' Higher themes dealing with the complexities of war or personal suffering are too above the head of an 8 year old kid. So there's an example of where I firmly agree with the rating system for media. Doesn't have to be enforced strictly where you have to be the exact age. But just make sure the person viewing the media, whether a TV show, movie, book or video game, is somewhat mature enough to understand what they are seeing. The brain is not fully developed even at 18. (humans reach full physical maturity around 24) The first 20 years of their lives the mind is at its most impressionable. So this is why they are watching our forms of media closely, because it's true how impressionable minds imitate what they think is cool. If they see materialism, obsession with sex, bad rebellious language as cool, they will imitate it and reuse it over and over as easy as breathing. Hence why we still need to monitor this age group, because if these people are going to be the adults leading our world and parenting the next generation of children, I don't want a nation of idiots who continue to use f-words and n-words on Xbox Live, and the OP who uses "bastards" and cusses in his sig as if he was Al Pacino. Those are people we do not want to emulate.

needforspeed01 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I was introduced like many of us to gta series at a young age, for ps2 gta 3 series my mother was reluctant to let me get it as I was in gr 7 (if im correct) at the time, im now 18, My mother let me have it because she felt I was mature enough to handle the content and the game.... and yes I am a succeful person in our society, and im not driving my car like a maniac down the road, I belive its what maturity level u are at to be playing, lets face it we all know 1 or 2 family members (younger hopefully) that are influenced by EVERYTHING.

Vive La France Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I absolutely agree. I think that the time a kid is mature enough to play GTA is about 12, 13, because they're exposed to the language and sex at school, and the violence on average TV.
