Get rid of the kids

[Collywong]

Ok if the parents aren't going to stop their kids playing the game I feel like it is my mission to make it as unenjoyable for them as possible.

 

Leave your chat setting to "everyone" and as soon as you hear one of those little squeakers, tag them and go after them with everything you have got.

 

It may seem cruel, but to paraphrase: "spare the combat shotgun, and you spoil the child"

[Buckrider]

That phrase made me lauhgh like hell haha. You're awesome bro, good hunting

[Cudwieser]

I dunno, can you honestly sit there and say that you're not even A LITTLE aroused by a child's laughter?

Wierdo

 

To the OP: I think the actual term is more interesting

 

He who spareth the rod. hateth his child, but he who loves him chasteneth him diligently.

 

In GTA terms

 

He who spareth the baseball bat is cruel and unsporting, but he who inviteth the child to an ass kicking must surely inspire them to better things.

[Mr Mean Swag]

It depends... If the kid is with others and they are having fun, not being blatant assholes, then I don't really care. I had good memories playing san andreas when I was younger and thats one of the reasons I really love the GTA series. If the kids are enjoying the game respectful to others, why ruin it?

 

On the other side, if the kids are intentionally being dicks, sure, I can't say I haven't tracked them down... and well.. destroyed their little smiles and laughter with explosives.

And I didn't think you could make the original paraphrase more awesome...

Personally, I'd like to take the rod to their parents!

This is my kind of thread.

 

 

 

A thing about gaming that's always annoyed me is how the ESRB rating is completely ignored by parents. Truth be told, I played GTA 3 when I was like 9 and one of my favorite franchise as a kid was Mortal Kombat but I wasn't an idiot. I knew videogames weren't real. These kids though take things seriously. You kill them in the game and they're like, "Imma fooking rape your mum, fook you, I own you. My cock is so big I deepthroat giraffes, you got a mini sausage like the ones wrapped up in dough like a mini hotdog". Calm down, I just virtually killed you, I didn't insult you personally.

 

I always had this philosophy for as long as I can remember: If I have kids one day (so I'll need to talk to a girl at some point), I'll pretend I don't want them to play some games but I'll leave them out in the open. I'll let my kids discover fatalities, run people over, virtual tits, you name it. I'm a gamer and it's a "perk" for being a gamer dad; you know what games are good. I'd rather have my kids play a tasteful game like GTA than CoD and be one of those type of players. If kids on GTA want to play, let them play. You're just ruining gaming for them. Gaming isn't a privilege, it's a hobby for some, a passion for others. Don't a dick, OP, let the kids play.

 

But parents should check up on them from time to time. Too many kids are swearing. That's not good. Parents should be told by a REAL gamer, "hey, your kid is going to play with random people, most of them men, aging from 10 years old to 40 years old. Some of them can be racist and sexist and will probably insult your child. They'll verbally bully them and in rare cases send them hateful messages long after your child has stopped playing or even send them game invites so a group of friends can annoy your child over and over again".

 

When I hear a kid in a lobby that isn't some prick, that he's genuinely enjoying the game and asking if anyone else has a mic, I pipe up. I'll talk to him, I'll meet up, I'll be cool with him. If he kills me, though, it's on. But for the most part, they're alright.

 

*edit*

Mods remove my first line talking (joking) about using a belt on a kid but keeps it in a post below that quotes my original post that has the line in it.

Logic.

Getting aroused by a child's laugher and belting a kid?

i actually think it's cuz we have online gaming in this generation

 

notice how back in the PS2 days, this sh*t didn't really happen since online gaming was still considered foreign to anyone that didn't play on a PC, and you had to invite friends over to your house if you didn't want to play by yourself

 

these days, internet is easily accessible by pretty much anything electronic, that includes game consoles

 

that being the case, once a child gets way into a video game, playing it online, they start to develop this alter-ego type mentality, an in-game persona or some sh*t like that. then they start trying to speak and act as if they're what they see their character as. but when they get back into the real world, they're all cookies'n'milk

 

basically it's not that parents stopped giving a sh*t, since kids playing M rated games was always a thing, i was playing GTA3 when i was like 7 (or 8?)

 

it's that now people can virtually be face to face with eachother, and being that it's all virtual, you can get away with just about anything

and a 7-year-old can't be trusted with that sort of thing imo

 

i say let them play, but keep them far the f*ck away from online

[Da2ndComing]

I'm a kid, and all I have to say is if you come after me, you're f*cking dead.

[Chuck3.4]

This topic is only for those that can't kill people who are higher ranks then them. That's just sad

That's actually a good idea, just unplug the internet from the console and let your kid play. It's sad to think that games rated Mature aren't as bad as the people that play them. Hell, even if my future kid could play Lego:Star Wars with a stranger, I wouldn't let him. The whole "being anonymous" thing is good and bad. I love I can have some sort of alter-ego but I'm probably in the very small minority group of people that doesn't say stuff they wouldn't say face-to-face . Like, I won't say someone to f*ck off (internet only, I say that to everyone on GTA) unless I would in real life (to do that you need to be sure you're saying f*ck off to a guy smaller than you).

 

Some parents give a sh*t and it either makes the kid want to play forbidden games more or he actually listens to the parent. Other parents don't give a crap. Kid wants new GTA, mom picks it up from work without asking the clerk any questions. If you work or hang around a gaming store, you'll see clerks that just don't give a crap anymore about moms picking up a violent game. Violent games are fun and no one can really explain why people love to kill virtual people. They say it's fun and they're right but I never understood why beheading someone is so cool in a game.

 

I can somehow bring the subject of parents brainwashed by the news about games being too violent and being the cause behind shootings and stuff like that but that's a whole other subject.

it's common to act somewhat different online than you do in real life

 

i act like a creepy f*ck online, doesn't mean i'm like this in real life. however, just like you, i don't say things to people online that i wouldn't say to someone in real life, that's being your own person. i'm pretty sure most (probably all) people that give me death threats would be too nervous and anti-social to say that sh*t to my face lol

 

being anonymous is good for privacy reasons, but bad because it can be abused. hell, these forums will show it.

 

if i were a parent with a 7-year-old kid who wanted a violent game, i'd get it for him/her, since denying them of that would sorta make me a hypocrite, but i wasn't playing online with a bunch of edgy highschool tryhards at age 7, so i'll be damned if they are

 

and the whole "video games are the cause behind shootings" thing really needs to die. video games don't cause that sh*t, the cause is an unstable mindset that has a lot more and worse influence than 20 minutes of CoD.

[Alex Wesker]

As long as the kids are cooperative and are acting okay, then you should leave them. If they aren't, then may God have mercy on their virtually spirited, egoistic souls.

[EminemGirl69]

That is so stupid, let them play of they want!

[Spuds725]

This thread took an odd turn.... Removed the pedophile posts.... Don't go back that way in this thread.... I would hope these were very bad jokes.

 

 

As a parent, i do let my kids (my boys are 8, 9, & 11) occasionally play gta V under my supervision.... Usually just some online racing or parachuting.

[Levianne]

I even created a second character for my nephew (he's like 11 or 12 currently). Not playing much (I rather use his char for supporting my main, selling Ballers and such), but he even played GTA IV on my console before. I don't have a mic so he's not harming anyone by squeeking or whatever. And the last thing, he's a little bit of a small brat already, so the game won't change him much.

This....

We are the mature adults in which the game was intended for. We must act as such or we will be no better than the squeakers that we fighting against.

Movie line? F**k if I know... but seriously, we say we are better then we must act accordingly. Make judgement calls like an adult would. Not a butt hurt 12yo...

It wasn't that. It was a few words used in the expression of liking the fact of naive youngster being educated that was a bit eschew. It is a very fine line between sick and funny , to sick and weird, to sick and preditory. English is a very unique language in that regards.
