Totally Agree.

Same. And, when in the game shops I ask the staff if they have played it and how they felt the rating reflects on the actual gameplay.

Arista, do you have children? If not, then you really don't know wtf you are talking about. Kids are all different, in terms of maturity, and you can't bang an age rating on it and do a one-size-fits-all.

That is completely different, there are very young children online playing these games with strangers, I wonder if their parents even know they can get online and do this :shrug:

That has nothing to do with this debate

lily. 29-03-2015 03:05 PM

It has everything to do with it. You are highlighting guns in your posts. How are toy guns and video game guns any different?

Crimson Dynamo 29-03-2015 03:08 PM

i played with toy guns as a child and read war comics, watched war movies and cowboy and indian films and so far I have not killed anyone

Yes Guns used in GTA5
and a knife
are based on real guns.

That's not for you to decide, it's the child's parents' decision. Not yours.

There are child safety options on most consoles both current and last generation. It's up to the parents to set them and oversee what their child is playing.

lily. 29-03-2015 03:11 PM

And toy guns are based on what?

Sure but like Dezzy
you never had 1080P GTA5
as a child.

Why is the screen size/resolution so important?

Many Parents are not aware
Thats why Schools can deal with this 18 Rated Game

If parents are not aware, then they are obviously not very good parents, in which case there will be bigger issues to contend with than video games.

Isn't that more or less the opinion of the school?

No. I think the school is using video games as a scapegoat.

Maybe they ought to be looking into the upbringing of some of the 'at risk' kids, instead of making sweeping generalisations about parents who do allow kids to play adult videogames.
