THINK OF THE CHILDREN (what you just witnessed was an 11yr old french kid freaking out over his gift of gta V like a 12yr old girl at a justin bieber concert)

Idc, as long as the parents understand whats in the game and aren't going to freak then I dont see the problem.

best game series ever :)

I was 4 years old the first time I played Doom on PC. I've been brought up around violent video games and I'm perfectly normal - Hell! I've only killed 2 people.

so what? i played rated m games as a kid. i didnt turn out to be a sociopath. mems_1224

I'm not saying kids shouldn't be allowed to play them, it's just something to think about. I think 10-12 years old is too young for GTA.

Tears of joy. I'm going to be doing the same thing come the 17th

Again, "plenty of kids" isn't a good enough reason to say all kids should be fine. 

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] I see this argument a lot, but like I said in my post, everyone is different. Plus, the M rated games of today (such as GTA V) are much more graphic than the M rated games (or mature games before ESRP was around) of the past. You simply can't compare something like Duke Nuken 3D or Diablo 2 to GTA V. GTA is WAY more graphic.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"] lol wut? you could rip out a dude's spine in MK. plenty of kids play m rated games and turn out perfectly fine. my little 10 year old cousin got Saints Row 4, hes a perfectly normal kid. most kids aren't going to be affected by playing super violent games at a young age. mems_1224

is there nudity in the strip clubs in gta gamesdave123321

I think the main problem peoplr have with GTA is the violence, not the sexual themes. Being able to kill innocent citizens doesn't sit well with a lot of people.

Oh noes, parents bought their kid GTAV!

And exemplary display of terrible parenting!

That was a fun game. I must've been around 11 or 12 when I first played it.

Wut? Justin Bieber crying over gta 5, ok.

Why does an 11 year old french kid have the game before me? WHY DAMNIT?

I hope they either cut back on the vehicle chases, or improve on them.

been playing GTA IV recently and am annoyed with the chases. its pretty damn cheap, to make the person your chasing invincible for parts of the chase.

just tonight i was doing a chase, all was going smooth, then happened to hit one of those orange cone thingies. car flipped. lost the enemies. had to do the mission over. turns out i was pretty much at the end of the mission. just about less than a minute more.

and motorcycle chases, I Fucking hate the motorcyle chases in GTA IV.

I do somewhat enjoy motorcycles, its just the chases that are annoying.:P im moreso a car person though.

chases wouldnt be so bad, if you knew when the enemy was invincible or not at certain times.

I really don't give a shit.

I am anticipating this game dave123321

Biggest thing since San Andreas.

I actually don't care if kids play Mature games. Lets be honest to many gamers who are in their 20's and older who say kids should not play violent games. We all played mature games when we were kids and I bet you that many of us who played the older GTA games (3, Vice City and San Andreas) were under the age of 17. And that goes with many other games as well. I played Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Half-Life, Mortal Kombat and many other violent games as a kid. And guess what? I never hurt or killed anybody and same with and other people that I know who plays them as well. As long as the kids know what is right and wrong and have good parents to watch what they are doing. It's not a big deal.
