How can I convince my mom to...

[Salamantis]

10 = too young for games like that.
Also, OP's obvious trolling is obvious, along with the rest of his topics.

 

[Mewgia]

Gee, it sure is falling for trolls around here

What are you talking about liniboy! I'm sure he's an actual 10-year-old! Isn't it obvious?

 

[kevenka]

ten is too young...God what is the world coming to....

 

[Licardo7]

I guess 10 years old is a little too young. I was playing GTA's since I was like 7 but all I did was get in cars and drive around. I didn't really pay attention to missions or shooting, just cruising

Then again, I actually owned my first GTA when I was 9(GBA) and I got my San Andras at 11. Right now I'm 14 but you don't see me robing or bashing someone's face in. Even though my mom lets me play GTA games, I still feel shame and try to turn down the volume to a minimum in cut-scenes or parts were there's cursing.

I don't know, I say you should be allowed to get the game if you pay for it but I wouldn't recommend it especially if you live in a house with grandparents or little kids. I say get GTA: CTW if you have a DS so you have your privacy and you won't fell embarrassed.

Edit: try saying "I'll do my homework before playing it" or something like that

 

[Rock Raiyu]

Pirate GTA3/GTA Vice city/San Browndreas and hide the files somewhere.

Don't encourage the lad.

Buy me GTA 4?? I really want it, but she says the usual "no no, you are too young to play those games", but c'mon, I'm ten already, I can play those games and not become a lunatic-addicted-killer of school colleagues

What do you guys think about it .-. I really think that moms overreact with those pseudo-mindfreaking games .-.
that right there shows that this guy most likely isnt 10.
just some attention lover who wants to see what kind of reactions he'll get.

and what kind of 10 year old says "pseudo mindfreaking"?
QUOTE(Gaisuto @ Oct 12 2008, 06:09 PM) I mean look at his post, I never would of guessed he was only ten if he left that part out.

exactly. he's probably not.

 

[Midna]

Call me weird, but I am a teen and I am even disturbed by franchises like GTA and resident evil. You are too young. And by the way, 10 is not the right age to play a 17+ game. Oh, I forgot, you're ten, you can't count that high. I kid

 

[JPH]

Oh please I was playing Mortal Kombat when I was like...8 or so. Being a set age doesn't mean you have the same mindset of every stereotypical kid. I mean look at his post, I never would of guessed he was only ten if he left that part out.Indeed, he seems quite mature for his age.
I was playing GTA and Halo and such around that age, and I'm no serial killer now.
Convince your mother that you're mature enough to play these games, butter her up (do chores and do well in school), and that's probably your ticket to getting the game (however I don't think it's worth all the trouble, over one game).

You can always pirate the older GTA games for the PC and play those (hope you can hide it from your mom, though).

You'll need to have hit your growth spurt before you can masturbate. However, that's a different topic.

Kids dont know how to share these days:

Get 5 friends with a 360 -or PS3, what do I know?- and each one give 10 bucks, buy the game and take turns to have it, easy peasy violencey.

Yes, but no offense - frequently swapping the game between the hands of ten year olds...I would think the game would be broken pretty quickly.

These 10 year olds are mature enough to play GTA4, they better be careful enough to dont break a damn DVD...y'know.

10 + 10 + 10 + (10+10) = 50! That must be enough. That's Fifty freaking years of maturity! Put it all together, and you get greatness!

 

[CockroachMan]

I used to play Mortal Kombat when I was ten.. and Duke Nukem 3D when I was 11 (the first GTA appeared when I was 13 I think), my mom never really cared..

But, I don't know.. MK and DN3D had violence, nudity, but overall was just mindless killing.. it's the same old "kill the bad guys" thing.. On the other hand, GTA deals with some more mature issues.. crime, drugs, prostitution, corruption, I personally wouldn't let a 10yo play it and anyway, I don't think he would be mature enough to appreciate the cool things in that game

 

[Private|Par]

You can't buy it legally, obviously. Your mother won't buy it if she knows anything at all about the franchise, same goes for your father. Besides, anything with a graphic sex scene in it is not appropriate for children, full stop.... Unless you've been exposed to that kind of thing already. It's all about keeping the children in the dark and disgusted about sex.

If you've seen such things before, (and chances are you have, being on the internet) then it's probably OK for you to play the game. You're not going to, though, because noone will ever believe that a 10-year old has seen more sex than they have/ever will.

 

[UltraMagnus]

oh, stop being ageist SOBs

get someone else to buy it, buy it over the net with a prepay card or something, modchip your ps2, whatever. or just play decent games.

I don't buy the whole thing of video games making kids kill, I played mortal combat when I was about 10. *walks outside and removes a random persons spine*

 

[Panzer Tacticer]

Through observation I have learned.

My 14 year old son is not in any danger of viewing content including violent content.

In fact, I'd rather my son was sitting naked in front of his computer fist fucking to porn, or playing a violent video game and laughing at the carnage.

Why you ask?

Well my brother's 16 year old son was not in front of a computer much, he was out becoming noticed in sports, enough so he was able to get and screw his girlfriend once too often, and finally forgot to wear a condom. Next month he gets to play the game of life with his new son and unmarried, and certainly unprepared single mom girlfriend.

Lesson here, violent video games are a lot safer than you think. And a horny teenager can't be relied on to be level headed all the time.

So yeah, I think I can deal with anything my son might be doing alone in his room

If he wants to play WoW 24/7 through his teens, I am not going to get too excited.
