rapturerocks Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I have often wrestled with this issue; for one thing the lack of children is kind of weird given the evidence of kids in the game world (e.g., ads and playgrounds) but on the other hand, there's not very much of an argument for breaking this deep taboo. In what instance would these characters need to kill children? If they put kids in the game there would have to be a good enough reason to touch this taboo, and I just don't see it.

Niick99 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 I know this question seems ridiculous and demented, but I could actually see little kids in this game and the future of gta. Not in like a " we can kill them" way, but in like cutscenes and maybe a story narrative where you have to save your kid from a gangster who used to be your boss. Opinions and "Constructive Criticism" appreciated You funny guy. LOL srsly wtf What does srsly mean???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dope_0110 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) I have often wrestled with this issue; for one thing the lack of children is kind of weird given the evidence of kids in the game world (e.g., ads and playgrounds) but on the other hand, there's not very much of an argument for breaking this deep taboo. In what instance would these characters need to kill children? If they put kids in the game there would have to be a good enough reason to touch this taboo, and I just don't see it. Maybe because taboos are supposed to be shaken? If there were no people who would challenge the existing order of things we'd still believe the world is flat. And, as someone mentioned above, Fallout I and II had kids and you could kill them. That was all in that golden age of freedom before bored housewives decided to ban everything they didn't agree with.

To give more freedom to players if they want to act like a psychopath? It's just a game, it's not reality... Edit: or to create a story involving kids like someone sayed before?

It's a nonissue that whiny people who make mountains out of molehills try to constantly bring attention to, just to be noticed. At the end of the day, I doubt even those people themselves would give two sh*ts if a digital 9 year old got plastered on the walls of a Resident Evil game. It's especially weird how it's such a big deal..... when no one says a word about films (horror or otherwise), and even some anime having children die. FFS, Blood+ had a bunch of children ripping apart as monsters came out of their skin, and I doubt the show got anything other than it's high warning for that.

gtafaninwest Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 In a politically correct world, no. Politicians, lawyers, females, and breeders would want to boycott GTA. However, they might only be included in cut-scene but not in-game. They did it with VCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArizonaHellRyder Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 GTA have often been targeted by political officials over the excessive gun use and trafficking, drug use and trafficking, prostitution, criminal syndication, and promoting violent behavior. With the fact that R* replicates real locales and researches on the culture and society in that geographic location. Then mocks the problems with the culture and society. GTA SA was nearly taken off shelves, until R* complied and released an edited version of the game. IV was under a lot of negative political and media attention, and was petitioned to be banned as well. I know a lot of this is bullsh*t, but when the media is controlled mostly by politics and the big business' that control them. R* always walks a fine line when creating and releasing these games of this franchise. Adding children would be a serious risk within the world, and could add to the arsenal against R*. I understand they have added children into cutscenes of GTA but that was possibly a risk as well, though a smaller risk that they were willing to take. Other game franchises have never had this much negative exposure from the media and political figure-heads. Call of Duty can't even compare to R* due to the fact they forewarn and offer the option to exclude controversial situations. While movies are released in such rapid secession, and are only watched, not experienced interactively. Children or characters who resemble children and not a young adult is a major risk to put within the world, and give the user the freedom to interact with this character. It would add to the negative exposure and would probably be used in against them in anyway possible. Children will only ever exist in cutscenes and will never be found wandering throughout the world.

I still find it funny people think Rockstar was entirely at fault for the hot coffee. They had partitioned the f*cking data in a place that couldn't be accessed without tampering, i.e; illegally modifying the game. Sure, they MADE THE DATA, but they in no way promoted it for use. Of course, it's especially funny seeing as how it was about as graphic as the f*cking sex scene in Team America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brwhizz Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) My opinion on this topic, and my responses to the rebuttal I'd get: Me: 'Having kids in a gta game is wrong.' Someone else: 'Oh, so you're saying it's okay to kill adults in a video game, but not kids!?' Me: 'Yes: Unlike adults, children are by their nature innocent, and most people derive no pleasure from seeing one killed or hurt in a film, tv show or game."

Me: 'Yes: Unlike adults, children are by their nature innocent, and most people derive no pleasure from seeing one killed or hurt in a film, tv show or game." To be fair though, most people are innocent. Sure, no one is totally innocent, but the notion that "adults = impure" for whatever reason is just asinine, and basically splitting hairs. For me, it's just the fun of wreaking havoc. I wouldn't, say, enjoy a game where you murdered nothing BUT children, but that's only because then it'd be obvious of someone holding malice toward tykes.

I believe GTA should have every aspect to the ecosystem. including babies, children, teenages, adults, oldies and animals. would be more realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We meant have kids in cutscenes and pivotal story narrative importantce, not just flat out murdering kids. If they were in the game they would just be in cutscenes only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
