Blues Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Now, Im a 16 year old kid, I try to aviod talking to my parents as much as possible(as Im sure many of you do) But I got the money for vice, but they're putting there foot down. They say 'It's not appropriate' after they walked in on Tony talkin bout his ole ma on chatterbox(GTA3, if you remember the commercial, you know what they're skeptical about) I tried the approach about the Ambulance, and fire truck missions where I save lives, but didnt work? Any help? I would just go behind there backs and buy it but cause Im not 18 years of age i cant go to the store and just buy it. Any suggestions?

cw12 Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 answer these questions and i can give you an answer. do you dress like a goth? have you ever been sterotyped to be a kid who would shoot up a school? have you ever stolen anything? do you have access with weaponry (firearms) in your household? do you laugh (in real life) when tragic events happen? have you ever been to a therapist? ever been arrested?

Grandal. Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Just talk to them and tell them that they need to trust you enough to realize its just a game and only for fun. Promise them you will not steal a heli and start sniping people . Use the trust word and they should feel guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barguast Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 How about: "Don't insult my intelligence, mother. I do know the difference between right and wrong you know... You make me sound like a (f*cking) retard". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOGA62 Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Im 16 and my parents would never let me have Vice City. So i just had my sister buy it for me. Im not sure about you but my parents hardly ever walk in while I am playing vice city and the few times they do i just say it is a driving game because im usually in a car.

Yamuchi Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Im 14, my parents let me get VC, but if you get it then they walk in jus say it Gta3, Most "old" people cant tell the different if they are not "into" it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spetsnaz Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Hmm i think my parents, or a least my dad is weird. Im 16, and he bought me GTA when it came out, he bought me Kingpin when it came out, but it was rubbish so i didnt keep it. He also allowed me Soldier of Fortune. Hes got a gun, and told me how to use it about 2 years ago if anyone came to the house and threatend my mum or sister, to shoot them in the chest. Then about 6 months ago he took me to shooting range. My mum is a technophobe, and doesnt care what i play, she bought me GTA3. I bought it later for PC myself, and no-one cared. I showed my dad sniping someones head off and he just laughed. He probably wouldnt aprove of banging hookers, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamuchi Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Yea same here really, my parents dont mind me running someone over or laughing wildly at someone screaming while buring to death, But as soon as they found out i had a hooker in my car giving me "health" they were like all weird and told me not to show my little sister. Its funny how they dont mind me playing a game and killing people but mind me playing a game and using a hooker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Castiglione Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 you've never been arrested? I was 15 my first trip downtown... Going to jail f*ckin sucks dude, the food tastes like ass.

Mario Vercetti Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Just tell them you're old enough and responisble enough to tell the difference between a game and real life. Be honest with them. I spent an hour 1/2 explaining to my Mom (I'm 17, so I could get it reguardless) what the game delt with after she said, "I don't want you playing that garbage."...and she was able to see my point. I mean, if they let you get GTA3, what can possibly be any worse in Vice City? Except maybe, the porn studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues Posted November 17, 2002 Author Share Posted November 17, 2002 My parents are lawyers, some moron probably used the excuse 'I got it from a game' or something, hence they are weirded out. So they are good arguers so I should make like a few drafts before I try to change their minds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Dad Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 I am a father and my four year old loves GTA3 but of course he does not do the missions to hard for him. And he is away visting grandma and he can not wait to come home to play VICE. He already knows the diffrence between pretend and real. He also plays the game with no volume because of words. But just running around, driving and shooting is not a big deal. Even in Kingdom Hearts (disney game) the charters kill each other they may not look real but it still happens. It even happens in the Roadrunner cartoon with the coyote. But he smart enough to know a game from real life. Just try to talk to your parents.

friskysman Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 i'm talking to all of you irresponsible SOB's on here when it say this: you assholes act like idiots in real life and then expect your parents to let you play this game? how dense can you be? try showing some responsibility and regard for authority and then maybe you'll earn enough trust. but don't be giving your parents any sh*t. just remember, if not for them, you'd be nothing. and i don't how wrong you think i am. try running away and making it on your own. see how well you do. i'll bet just about anything that getting a ps2 game will be the least of your worries.
