How to convince parents to buy me GTA 5


GTA5_OVO
 Share

Recommended Posts

Buy the game online with a credit card, I'm sure you don't have a credit card yet so you're going to have to get creative with how and where you will find one, think of it as a GTA mission.

 

Good luck

If you give your older cousin or someone money for the game i'm sure theyll buy it for you.

Just get an 18 year old to buy it for you. I never had this problem my patents were cool and I still turned out ok playing Violent video games. Though it was a different scale of violence back then.

Argh! this question that keeps popping up...

 

Listen man, use your head. Mom and dad are really YOUR LAST resort ?.

when I started to drink beers and sh!t I didnt go to mom and dad...

 

I went to friends mom's and dad's who didnt give a sh!t what they did

and had them get it for me.

 

Find a friend at school,or in your neighborhood with chill ass parents and have

them get you a copy...need money from mom and dad ?...ask them to take you to

gamestop and have them put 60$ on a gift card..tell them it's for a "up coming game"

like "Little Big Planet 12 or whatever"

Theres nothing in GTA that you can't readily see in the movie theaters with a PG-13 movie, on the internet, on TV, or hear in high school walking down the hallway. I'm not judging your parents because I don't know them, but parents IN GENERAL , are always looking to pass the blame of their bad parenting off on a video game, or music album or whatever. That's why society so f*cked up today, because of deadbeat parents who rather blame something instead of accepting responsibility themselves. My advice to you, ask your mom to use her credit card so that you can download like a sports game from the xbox live or Sony marketplace. But instead of downloading said sports game or whatever kiddie game you choose...use the credit card number which should already be input and saved in your xbox/ps account, and download GTA V. Then if she asks about it, just be like, The sports game I wanted to get, there was some error and it wouldn't download , so i just downloaded the next best thing (which would be GTA V) ....and Walah! ... If your parents actually think that GTA V is something that shouldn't be played by you, then most likely they are also dumb enough to believe a story that the game you wanted to download had an error. Nevertheless...you will have the game in the end. And if they tell you not to play it or delete it, It still can be REDOWNLOADED ANYTIME without the credit card, Re-download it later and play it when they are out of the house or at night when they aren't watching.

 

Youre welcome

tell them that violent video games dont cause aggressive behavior, sh*tty parenting does. so if they wont buy the game for you for fear of aggressive behavior, they are clearly sh*tty parents.

Tell them you think you may be gay and need some GTA masculinity to set you straight.

When I was younger, I would just stand outside the Gamestop and ask people going in if they would buy the game for me. I always found someone willing.

I'm 14 years old and I have been following GTA extensively sense 2011. I've never been aggressive and I have no desire to shoot someone in the face but my parents are CONVINCED that violent video games alter people's minds and make them want to commit crimes. Now we as GTA gamers know this is untrue. Please share insight on your experiences with GTA when you were younger and tell me what I should do. Should I save up my money and have my friend buy it for me? Thanks and ALL help is greatly appreciated smile.gif

Tell them that you will choke yourself to death if they dont buy you GTA 5. If they dont trust you just stop breathing and pretend that you are losing conscience. Trust me, it will work.

Simple. Just get caught dealing drugs, when your parents question you about it just say it was a cry for help. You'll only stop if you get GTA to divert your attention.

Buy the game yourself from a non gaming store/ supermarket where they don´t check your age because they know nothing about games.

BUT THE BENZ

there are many factors to consider when trying to have a discussion about the 'getting/playing 18+ games when under 18" issue.

 

I tried to sum up some facts now but it's just...ugh...too much....state of mind, environment, media, school, personality, parents, friends, society, origin...and on and on and on...

on the other hand you could just aswell question the rating system and the politics that is pursued with it, instead of the age of the consumer or whatever. but again it's a "deep" issue and demands many factors to be considered....and in the end you can't always make sense of what mankind/society produces/does.

 

little story: I was 16 when GTA III and Max Payne 1 released. It was the beginning of me diggin some more serious gaming really. Loving it for the details, for the product, for what is inside that 50 $ (or whatever) package. Around that time I mentally moved on from the Nintendo era as the aforementioned games were more ambitious and I was hooked the minute I saw and played those games. Need to mention that I watched Scorsese, Tarantino, De Palma or John Woo movies starting at the age of 12 or so. Have been hooked on heroic blood-shed movies, especially done with bullet-time and over the top styled out choreography, just aswell as gangster/crime movies with good dialogue and a love for drama. gimme the godfather and goodfellas, also the sergio leone italo-western classics with eastwood. that was all before gaming, before I was allegedly exposed to that super killer maker video game stuff that is sooooo dangerous

- I didn't turn out a criminal hooker killer. and that is the end of the story. I'm a tax-paying slave with a clean record, I think the "bosses" are okay with how I turned out even though I tasted the fobidden fruit before I reached the age they saw fit for me to do so.

 

 

yeah whatever....just get or don't get this game and deal with it. consequences will never be the same anyhow. we're a dustcorn in the universe. and we all come from the same tree. #fact

sorry mate but I have a friend like that, he wasn't even aloud to play any games, only the ones on the wii, theres only one way, okay, there 2 ways,

1: Buy it any way and keep it a secret, (Play it at night)

2: tell them that the developers have said that they think it will most likely be 15+, if you pay for it, they cant really do anything about it because if they take it off you, its theft, and they can be charged with it.

-Save your allowance till you get the right amount(which is impossible if you will start now)

-Get good grades

-Cry in front of them(won't work)

 

 

I'm really lucky that my Dad is a gamer and as an Asian, well, our parents always told us to study hard and I often get good grades so no problem for me. For now.

 

If they tell you it's too violent, explain it to them that it doesn't make you violent too. TBH, GTA made me scared enough to go out often(because I'm afraid that someone might go on a rampage and kill everyone around) than teaching me to go out often and kill everybody for fun.
