Hello, I am 2 years old serial killer, all I know I had got from GTA games. I have killed like 100 pedestrians while driving a Hummer last week, but managed to escape from police.

Good for you bro. keep up the good work. i am not saying underage people do crime because of the game im saying MOST underage people are useless little asshats who get on my f*cking nervers posting all there sh*t on the forums and thinking they are clever about it.

 

sorry but i cant stand immature people who have no reason for being immature apart from there age.

 

 

.......... that clear things up for ya?

The question isn't about age - it's about maturity. There are a lot of reasons for me to think that 12yo Iraq boys, who try to make a living and help the family are more mature than most of the 18yo+ American solders stationed there( considering their deeds).

 

For me it's normal to see how 7-8 year old watch 14+ movies with a lot of violence, play Hitman BM, rated 18+. But the thing is - they are not becoming violent and the ones I know do not spam internet boards (maybe only because of language barrier). The true criminals at that age rarely play computer games, they already go to street to fight.

 

It is all to parents to decide: is this game appropriate for their children or not. I don't know how it is in the Western countries, but here movie and game ratings are ignored altogether.

Had to agree with this guy. icon14.gif

 

If your 12, 19, 27. Whats the difference? Your still playing a game. True. How can you say you shot someone cause you did it on GTA? That just makes you look completely retarded, and your parents look like they did/doing a awful job. I'm 17, for the record.

 

People that do go violent and do that crap we see on the news at ten, mostly associate with the wrong people at a younger age, and no it was not on GTA, it was on the playground. If anything, parents can just say "It's keeping my kids of the street, and keeping them safe." Those people who do the crap you see on T.V. are "sheep's". Follow what they see, and do what they are asked. Regardless.

 

Why using games to blame, fails.

well i can say this.... GTA IV is for 18+ so why are a bunch of 12 yr olds raiding the forums? really dudes when i kill you ingame dont take your dads pistol and take it out on your school buddies okay???

 

Now all this whining about my 360 version is better then your PS3 version or my PS3 version is better then your 360 version is so childish grow up already. really who cares? aslong as you enjoy the game whatever console its on why cry and whine like a baby that yours is better. Really when i was younger and GTA liberty city hit the streets i remeber one of my friends saying stuff like "Oh ima get my GTA before you!!" i was like stfu dude who gives a toss. once it was released i went over and bought it and when he tried to get his copy it had sold out. i was like yeah dude karma's bitch. eat it and come watch me play on my GTA..... but you aint getting a go.

 

/rant off.

 

really your parents should be ashamed of themselves and if you keep it up i will be forced to phone social services and get you taken away. No more sweeties for YOU!

You know what annoys me more than all that?

 

British people who try to speak and act American.

I play +18 rated violent videogames since I was 6. Yet I've never killed anyone, robbed or vandalised anywhere. Its about your family and your genes. Videogames are just something to blame.

i agree totally. i remeber playing wolfenstein 3d when i was 4!

Well it depends on the environment of the person on what he will grow up into, an example would be a ghetto, where crime happens there most of the the time. Most people blame video games for violence because it is a liable "scapegoat" in which the environment can happen anywhere; but I doubt it if a kid who grows up in a well to-do family and plays GTA may become a kill-crazy psycho. If it's true then I should be a kid that goes into underground fights with Hip Hop celebrities (Def Jam series) tounge.gif

 

BTW: I'm 16 and I have been playing GTA for seven years now since GTA2 came out, and it really never affected me, except that violence is a bad idea in the real world. So, meaning some people actually are actually learning the truth about violence and be sensitive about it.

Mr.Ruthless
Who cares? I'm 14. I played nearly all violent videogames possible. I don't run around with shotgun killing people. If you're mentaly stable and know the difference between real life and a video game,why couldn't you play IV?

If your not mature enough to know the difference between right and wrong then you should not be allowed the play the game and if you are immature or retarded then your parents are to blame at the end of the day. alot of kids get stressed when they die in a game and that results in violence smashing there consoles,hitting there siblings or parents. really some kids are that immature they will cry and scream if there moms wont buy them this game and they will do it untill they get it. in this case the child has no control and is immature thus should not get the game. as for grown men who get frustrated with games they are more immature then the children and also should not be allowed to play the game also. as alot of people have said this is a game i could careless if a 5 yr old plays the game aslong as he dont come posting rubbish on the forums and talking aload of nonsence its a real headache to read. if you cant be constructive and mature dont freaking post.

I've never smashed my keyboard because of the games.

But some 10 year olds get mad,smash their keyboards and start swearing after failing a mission. That's really sad to watch. It's just a game!

So long they didn't swear in front of little kids, no harm done. They are 18+ in front of kids they should set good example.

 

You know what, i have seen a 4 year old screaming at his mother bitch give me this. I was like wtf ??

The restriction is worthless, people still get the game.

The worry is not about normal kids buying the game for entertainment, it's when f*cking retards buy the game and think it's all right to go out and kill people and rob cars.

I agree with the person who said the game is more about the potential and freedom and feeling of the game than just going around on a killing spree. And just because 'everybody's doing it', doesn't make it right, for instance the rating on movies and stuff. Parents that are responsible will at least take the rules seriously enough to consider it before allowing their kids to do something, and not just say okay, go get out of my hair, or whatever makes you happy. When I was a kid I couldn't even watch certain tv programs and others like James Bond movies were frowned upon.

 

Of course this does not make a kid a pervert or a killer, but the goal is to keep the adult media out of the minds of kids who aren't as mature minded as the other ones are.

actualy i some what agree i gave my 10 yr old nephew vice city a few yrs back and he loves it, and he diffinatly knows better than to go harm some one and he actualy has a six pack its hilarious but, ne ways it depends on the kids. i think i should be a great idea if u had to sign in your drivers id or some sort like that to prove you're over 17 or 18 yrs. so youths cant play. i havent been able to buy mature games since this year buy my self so its a big freedom i mean do they let people drive under the legal driving age alone do they?No thy dont same rules should apply.

Those kids you talk about are half the fun when playing online! If you ever feel like you're getting your ass kicked, they're always there to make you feel better about yourself. Thanks to them, you can never truly reach the bottom.

If you buy an 18+ game or film as a child and go out into the real world to copy what you have seen by killing and raping people you are either stupid or are just blaming these things for your psychotic behaviour

I'm 16, but I'm not gonna go on a big gunning rampage. And I'm not immature (I think... smile.gif)

 

I was talking to somebody who said he was gonna get GTAIV for his 8 year old. And I was just saying... No. I think most 13-14 year olds and maybe 12 year olds can handle it. Its nothing they don't know about, and it depends how sensible they are, but there is ALOT of stuff in that game that an 8 year old shouldn't know about.

 

I think the 18+ rating (it IS an 18 in the UK, just a 17+ in the US) is fine. Kids will play it, and the vast majority are sensible and don't go out killing people as a result.

 

Violent games are used as scapegoats. People blame them, and use it to just shift the blame so that it doesn't look like its their fault.

 

Man, they have it rated 15+ in Australia (even though they cut content out). I think it would have been sensible to try to aim for a worldwide 15+ rating, though I guess people like Jack Thomson would have a field day with it.

the thing is, im not saying im 18, but by making huge topics like this, you are just adding to the problem. ignore them and use the forums to talk about one thing, GTA.

Actually he is not adding, just stating, from what is already obvious.
