roamer Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 hi guys, I was wondering if I download a saved game if the game is non violent. I played gta 3 and every couple of seconds i guy would shoot , rob ,or attack me. I wanted to buy it for my 10 yr old sons to drive around in. Ive seen other games but they asked me about this so i said i would look. Thanks roamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_john Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 There are tons of non violent things to do in GTA SA. You have a whole countryside to sight-see in and explore, you have darts games, car races and snooker games, etc too play. You can gamble on horse races (not good, but not violent!), Most missions are violent, but outside of that, there's tons to do that isn't. Use imagination (and a stopwatch) and have races between family members between two points. Have races on bicycles though hill and dale and lots more - there's a whole STATE out there to enjoy, not just a city as in GTA 3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil weasel Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) No Way is it usable as a non-violent game. Random Shootings, Crushing by being driven over. Hit and runs. There are non-violent things to do, but they are minimal. Note the Rating "M" for violence on the package. Sexual remarks/references are also frequent. Both audio and visual. Then again, What does you child already know of Sex, Violence, Drugs, death? Learned on the street, school, TV, Radio, Phone?

Girish Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 A few would disagree with me, but I would still ask you to keep this game away from your 10 year old kid for at least another 3 years or so. It's not necessary that he will get affected by it but you have to know that a child's mind is open to exploitation and manipulation. Maybe when he's 13, he'll be in a position to differentiate accurately between what's right and what's wrong. Just not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris_Chavez Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Not to criticise anyone's parenting skills, but my copy of SA has an 18 certificate on it. As well as the violence there are a great many drug references, profane language, corrupt cops, hookers..... - basically all the things that make it such a great game with adult themes. Perhaps try it out yourself first and make an informed decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_john Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 But it easy to get a cheat to allow you to travel all over the State without having to complete the early missions, and that one cheat means you don't have to do the missions, but can 'sight-see' and do all the mini-games.

That would require constant monitoring by the parent to ensure that the kid does not stray off from just the 'sight-seeing'. Instead of going through all that trouble, he can just get a racing game for his kid which can be played by all kids above 3 years of age, especially since he says he wants a game for his kid to just drive around in. There are quite a few open world racing games out there like Need for Speed and my personal favourite, Test Drive Unlimited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you name one. or better yet Give a link? I spent some time searching and I couldn't find any. Removing sex, violence, language would reduce the game to Sim-City level.

Ive seen other games but they asked me about this so i said i would look. Thanks roamer I'm sorry - you're buying it for your 10-year-old? I brought it when I was in London doing Christmas shopping last year, and there's a giant 18 on the front. (As for the guy above me - the difference is that you're 17: this person's buying it for someone who's 10.)

NikoGTA4 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi roamer, Here is the mod that removes all the missions and make a free roam. The mod says it, it is suitable for children. http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=3071 And you only need to download the file, edit a few things in your San Andreas folder.

radioman Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 hi,thanks for the replys. i guess its not a real free roaming game. if their is a violence remover mod post the link here. also ive seen mods for midtown madness 2 that were cars from san andreas do you think you could move the city in there ? thanks roamer The only game that has a Non-Violent mod is GTA III, it was created by Demerest(a member on this forum). It is called the "no weapons mod" and is available here, courtesy of Archive.org, since Dem's site(tfads.com) is temporarily down. But that is the only game that has a mod to make it more suitable for kids. Hope this helps. Also, I thought V1 of the game was rated "AO" because of the "Hot Coffee" thing, whereas it was removed in V2 and thus V2 was the "M" rated version? I just thought of that, since it was mentioned in this topic. I don't have V1, so I can't confirm either way, but I was going by the fact that they had to change the game in order to avoid an AO rating.

nerner Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 They had an M rating, then because of HC it became an AO rating, then the new release became an M rated game again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioshenka Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 If the kid is brought up right then really there shouldn't be a problem him playing SA. The news on TV are more violent than the game! Anyway, you can use cheats to remove people from the streets, that's one option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=NeoN=- Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 i think is all about your kid mint it depends on if he is agresive or not or if he knows wath its wrong or right it really dependes on how much did your soon grow up on his mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica NCT Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 They had an M rating, then because of HC it became an AO rating, then the new release became an M rated game again. I looked this up. "MA" is for those 17 and older. "AO" is for those 18 or over. What difference is twelve months going to make? (The censors in the United Kingdom and Ireland were saner - it was an 18 from the start. I would have said it just for Ireland, but - as I said in an earlier post - I brought it in London.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
