Why?

sexuality and violence [gory] is intended for 18 year olds.
you are 16.
therefore you playing those sexual and violent games is** illegal**.
:scream:

Haha!

Funny this is, when I was 7 years old, I was playing Goldeneye!
Like 5-6 years old playing DOOM 1… LOL

shows how great those parents of yours are! [jk]:krazy:

Oh god,

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 don’t want a game, don’t get it. Don’t 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 “some”. I say keep making em, just watch what the hell you kid is playing. I’m so sick of neglegent parents, the rating system is there for a reason.

I’ve played 18+ rated games and don’t have a problem with them. I’ve never felt the urge to go out and bludgeon someone to death after playing Unreal. As far as I’m concerned, the only people who are likely to go out and try to recreate what they’ve seen in a game are those who are a few sandwiches short of a picnic in the first place (and in all likelihood didn’t need the game to prompt them to have a go).

You’re 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. I’ve played leisure suit larry back in like 90 whenever that thing came out. I’m 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 isn’t 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 I’ve seen, which is alot I should be some craze maniac… I’ve never been in a physical fight. I’ve 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 :smiley:

The **** industry makes billions and billions of dollars every year. If they and some new game developers can squeeze in that market, I personally don’t see it as a problem. This is the same situation with the movie industry. There’s ****, and there’s not ****. So far there really isn’t tension on the line between the two when it comes to kids. Stores will usually not let kids walk out with “Sandy Lollipop fixes a Salad” or even go into the section, in some of the movie stores I’ve 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 shouldn’t 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 don’t see why not. The Japanese don’t 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) isn’t 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 game’s rating thing is a decision made up in the upper management of the companies. That’s why some places will let younger children get by and others won’t.

This just isn’t possible in our society. You can’t watch your kids 24 hrs a day and if you did they just wouldn’t grow up right. And they’d probably hate you. And they’d be in therapy for years. And they’d 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 ‘black market’ type stuff from movies to video games to drugs and alcohol. You tell a kid they can’t have something they want and they’ll find a way to get it. Nature of the beast.

my two shekels

:hr:

Thanks for moving it. :thumb:

wish my parents were more like yours!! :rabbit:

my god, Kitiara plays Unreal… my whole fantasy goes down in flames. I think I’ll go bump a whore just like Leisure Suit Larry, run over a bunch of monks walking in line in the streets with the Ferrari I just stole and go buy an RPG to blow up some dude in the streets. That ought to calm me down…

There are crazy people all over the world. One person can go out on a killing spree mimicking Resident Evil, but in comparison to the million others who’ve played these kind of games, it seems quite bizarre to blame the killing spree on Resident Evil.
The killer was just crazy, it’s not the GAME’s (or the developper’s) fault… final.

[edit : typo among others :stuck_out_tongue: ]

In realation to the topic the worst game Ive ever played was BMXXX which was a bmx game with unlockable stripper movies. Everything in the game sucked except when your chracter fell.
