Yeah, could a Mod. maybe move this, please (gotta say please)?
This is where parents come in. If you donāt want your kid playing it/watching it then keep them away from it.
You donāt need the government or whoever to ban games like this to āprotectā us because we are to helpless to think not to buy it/watch it. Itās simple, if you walk down the isle and see the game on the shelf, DONT BUY IT! If you see the game on TV [?] then donāt watch it. If you donāt want your kid playing it, donāt let him buy it. If you donāt want your kid watching it, donāt let him go to a place it will be. ITāS SIMPLE!
[SIZE=1]just a little pet peeve of mine, that people want something banned because they donāt approve of it. Itās as simple as just not getting it :)[/SIZE]
I love sexuality and violence in games, keep it going!
umm, if you dont mind me asking, how old are you grinch?
Why?
sexuality and violence [gory] is intended for 18 year olds.
you are 16.
therefore you playing those sexual and violent games is** illegal**.
Haha!
Funny this is, when I was 7 years old, I was playing Goldeneye!
Like 5-6 years old playing DOOM 1ā¦ LOL
shows how great those parents of yours are! [jk]:krazy:
Oh god,
you donāt know my parents man, you would never want toā¦ They are horribleā¦ nevermind
[font=Impact][size=5]lmao! :lol:[/size][/font]
People need to stop having the government do their parenting for them. They expect all these control methods to safeguard their kids from this stuff, and then something happens, and now it is the videogames fault. But no one tells them the truth, and it is their own **** fault.
None of these parents want to accept the responsibility that they screwed up, and now want a scapegoat.
Want to blame gun killings on video games? Fine. Go ahead and try to ban them, or try to stop a company from producing what they want.
But I blame deaths from drunk driving on beer and alcohol. Are you actively trying to stop beer companies from producing their product? No. Why? Because it is socially accepted. But they are the cause of those accidents, and nothing can refute that.
How can people honestly not want these games made, and think they are right?
If you donāt want a game, donāt get it. Donāt play it. Stop your kids from playing it. After all, it is YOUR responsibility, not the governments, or the clerk at Wal-mart.
Welcome to America. A game company has the right to make another Leisure Suit Larry game, just as much as Coors has the right to make their beer.
Do these games interest me? Not at all. They are gimmicks. Just like Postal 2 was a gimmick. They are not quality games. But do they ahve the right to make them? Absolutely.
isnt there a thread e-x-a-c-t-l-y like this?:tb:
Adult games are funny, and of course you know who their targeted at. Those people who will never get āsomeā. I say keep making em, just watch what the hell you kid is playing. Iām so sick of neglegent parents, the rating system is there for a reason.
Iāve played 18+ rated games and donāt have a problem with them. Iāve never felt the urge to go out and bludgeon someone to death after playing Unreal. As far as Iām concerned, the only people who are likely to go out and try to recreate what theyāve seen in a game are those who are a few sandwiches short of a picnic in the first place (and in all likelihood didnāt need the game to prompt them to have a go).
Youāre never going to be able to completely wipe out underage kids playing this stuff, no matter how hard you try. Stores can check for ID, parents can keep an eye on their kids, but some are going to slip through the net.
I lump arguments like this and violence and sex in TV on any form of media all together. I like violent video games and movies. Iāve played leisure suit larry back in like 90 whenever that thing came out. Iām a fan of p0rn. I watch tons of violent movies.
With that being said, my parents allowed us to play games like we did. Dad encouraged us to have sex, but my parents instilled good morals in us. I know the difference between right and wrong and the media isnāt changing my opinions. Parents need to build the foundation of their children not depend on media to do it.
So with all the p0rn and violence Iāve seen, which is alot I should be some craze maniacā¦ Iāve never been in a physical fight. Iāve never disrespected a woman. I treat others as I want to be treated.
I think this thread can grow more in Ordered than in Computers and Games. This is a well rounded discussion that more can join in on 
The **** industry makes billions and billions of dollars every year. If they and some new game developers can squeeze in that market, I personally donāt see it as a problem. This is the same situation with the movie industry. Thereās ****, and thereās not ****. So far there really isnāt tension on the line between the two when it comes to kids. Stores will usually not let kids walk out with āSandy Lollipop fixes a Saladā or even go into the section, in some of the movie stores Iāve been in. Game stores right now ID kids who want to purchase R-Rated games, or otherwise require parental consent. I think they could handle games that were rated A (for Adults). If a parent would allow his/her kid to get this game, so be it. We shouldnāt tell a parent how to raise their child. They may have their own methods or ways, who knows.
But should these games be made? I donāt see why not. The Japanese donāt seem to have a problem with it at the moment. But honestly, if it takes a sleezy game to get you by, you honestly need to go out more.
My two euros.
**** = p.o.r.n
Actually, it is legal for him to play those games. The ESRB (US game rating system) isnāt a government organization, they just suggest the ages that should be (in their mind) playing the game. The whole stores not being allowed to sell games to people under the gameās rating thing is a decision made up in the upper management of the companies. Thatās why some places will let younger children get by and others wonāt.
This just isnāt possible in our society. You canāt watch your kids 24 hrs a day and if you did they just wouldnāt grow up right. And theyād probably hate you. And theyād be in therapy for years. And theyād probably screw up their own kids.
Anyway, just like underage kids have been finding alcohol for DECADES, kids are going to find all sorts of āblack marketā type stuff from movies to video games to drugs and alcohol. You tell a kid they canāt have something they want and theyāll find a way to get it. Nature of the beast.
