My sad Okami/Wii fit story.

Ok so what happend was....

I was going to get Wii fit for part of my graduation present, so we went to wallmart, looked around a bit, no Wii Fit, so my grandma asks if I wanted to get another game and get wii fit later so I told her Okami. So we get the Okami game and just as the guy was ringing the game up at the register my grandma asked me if my mom was ok with me getting the game, so she called my mom and I had the game all purchased in the bag and everything, and my mom said no and maybe another time when shes with me. :( So we had to go up to the customer service area and rerturn my game, and to top that off they were a dollar short so now I only have 59$, not 60. =(

Wait, how old are you?

And blog it.

I even have Okami for the Ps2...

What did you graduate from? Preschool?

Anyways I feel you man. I'm 16 and my parents won't let me buy mature games even though I'm only one year under the age requirement without EXTREME premission. (Like they go look at Christian review sites and ****.) (No GTAIV for me :() I would never have trouble playing a Teen game that's just silly. Okami is a peice of art, not an amoral blood fest.

I'm graduating from the 8th grade, and yes my mom does the same with the review stuff because were Christian, but I can play some MATURE games and Okami was only Teen.

thank God my parents are not like that

sorry for okami too but hey maybe that was the destiny:shock:

yikes

i'm glad my parents aren't strict

they've been letting me get M rated games since i was like 8

haha

im only 14 right now too :]

But personally I don't want to play Okami, I mean it's a good game but from what I've seen from it, there's too much magic. But unfortunatley, I'm not even allowed to play any Zelda game, (there was a time where we weren't allowed to play Mario becasue it had too much magic. Sigh, I feel like I'm missing out on life, but it does make life easier.

Do you have guitar hero?? is better than wiifit IMO

Your 14 and your graduating from High School... Middle School, ok. Uh, my should have just told your grandma that you talked this over with your mom already and she's perfectly fine with it. Oh yeah and go to court with that, Walmart not giving you all the money back.banzai_sword

I'm not going to lie to my grandma, she bought me a Psp, and a 300$ bike. and shes like really nice n stuff, so I'm not going to lie, but I do like the suing idea. =D

How do you pay them 60 dollars and only get 59 back?

And if you're 14 you could just go somewhere and buy it by yourself.

Okami for $60? Where do you live?Rocky32189

Ok, because you guys don't seem to read all the posts where he explains it... he had $60 that day. He spent the money for the game, but when they payed him back, they were one dollar short, so adding that to what he had left over, he has $59.

thank God my parents are not like that

Right, heaven forbid you have parents that actually care about you and perhaps have just a wee bit more life experience to draw from than you do.

Read what the original post said - his mom said no, however, "maybe some other time." Sounds to me very much like mom wasn't familiar with Okami and wants time to find out more about it before giving the okay. Seriously, what is wrong with that???

Actually I was pretty much the same as a teen, life was all about me and what I wanted, and I didn't have any perspective either. But as an adult and a parent myself, I understand the sheer amount of responsibility that comes with parenthood. And I have learned that the "bad parent" is the one that lets their kids do whatever they want, not the one that tells their kids no when it is appropriate to do so.

Ahem....

So let me say something first. The tc is making this all up(troll),or i'm missing something really important that the TC forgot to mention. To start off with, let me quote you."Sounds to me very much like mom wasn't familiar with Okami and wants time to find out more about it before giving the okay." Hmm.....lets see what the TC said.."I own okami for ps2"....Contradiction.

Anyone who want to disprove?

huh i hadn't heard of Christian parents not wanting their kids to play games with magic. that seems very odd to me. magic is make-believe. if it was real, and dangerous (like violence), then i could see the objection, but why forbid playing a game with pretend concepts? because you believe it's real? this is kind of scary to me. making "magic" something forbidden seems to be a way of encouraging your kids to believe in superstition. but whatever floats your boat i guess. free country, so ppl can teach their kids whatever kind of whacky stuff they want. btw, i'm not trying to be snarky. i'm genuinely perplexed.mrfett2k

Magic is thought to be "evil" because of how they brack the rules of the creator. Am i correct?Just winging a guess -_-

But we have to respect everyones decisions and religions here.

Well, My mom doesn't care much for that stuff, I play Zelda and stuff like that. But my mom is just a bit overley protective of what I do, she doesn't want things to desensitize me.

Mothing against the faith but ive seen those sites, they tell parents to be careful about the sims in some of the more extreme cases..

but the thing is, did you read my other post?

I mean, if you already have the game, why couldn't you buy it?O_O

Just curious.

I don't think parents that let their kids do what they want are bad parents either. My parents had my best interest in mind and they tried to bar me from certain things, especially toy guns. I never had any toy guns as a kid. I knew I was more responsible than my siblings even if I was younger so I bargained with my parents. So long as I was at the top of my class they would let me do what I wanted. I got to do what I wanted, never got in trouble, didn't hurt anyone, and graduated with honors from high school and college.

Yes, your parents have your best interest in mind, but I think if you can show them you're a responsible young person they may allow you to make more self-sufficient decisions. It never hurts to try. If they tell you, "no," you haven't lost anything.

But personally I don't want to play Okami, I mean it's a good game but from what I've seen from it, there's too much magic. But unfortunatley, I'm not even allowed to play any Zelda game, (there was a time where we weren't allowed to play Mario becasue it had too much magic.
