Been playing GTA since I was 10. Never shot anyone. Don't do drugs Don't bang prostitutes. It really comes down to parenting.

It depends on the child and how each one handles such mature themes. I' ve seen my 10 year old cousin going to strip clubs in San Andreas...

Honestly, I think playing video games could end up helping a lot of those angry teens. At that age, you're a mess.. and taking out your frustrations on a game is better than real life.

[QUOTE="SNIPER4321"]I played rated m games when i was a kid. and to me its nothing wrong unless you take games serious and do thinks like in gaming. some kids do. i used to play tons of PC FPS as kids and now still play them as mature. but problem with GTA. its a game that is immature game. include stript clubs, live sex, half nake girls, pole dancing and blah blah blah. its a popular game. and biggest game this year but only sale wise and popularity. not quality wise/

M rated games are haram, you deserve to burn in hell

I don't see the issue here. If his parents are informed about the game's content and feels he's mature enough to handle it then that's their call. 

Also: why the hell does this kid have the game already and I don't? Goddammit! Wonder if I can go down to the local Gamestop and convince/force them into handing me my copy. I've already paid for it, so I should have it as soon as they do dammit!

children should be exposed to the realities of the world as early as possible. nothing wrong can happen if a child is exposed to human sexuality at a young age

Great? So long as there are dumb people in the world, there will be outrage over media designed for adults getting into the hands of children because of stupid parents.

Children need balance in their lives.  Time on video games needs to be balanced out with time outside, doing things like riding four-wheelers, fishing, and hunting.  If they have a well rounded childhood that will give them the ability to differentiate reality from fiction.  

As a parent you also need to teach them what right and wrong are in a black and white sort of way, otherwise they will come to conclusions by themselves that might not be grounded in the real world and that can be dangerous.

So you admit that video games influence us heavily enough to warrant outcry about this?...

I remember playing San Andreas and going on a murderous rampage and I just hear my mom in the background say "I don't think I want you playing this." I felt so embarrassed, I definitely cut down on my GTA time. But damn is it fun.

To be clear, my brother bought the game for himself, my parents didn't buy it for me. Though they did buy me m rated games like RE and such, watching your child decapitating police and and blowing people up must be a fairly worrying sight.:P

Did you think about the ramifications of having "troll" in your username?  Like nobody is going to "mark your words".

Oh ok, since my user name has troll in it- it means i cannot make valid points? Since your user name is go-gurt - should i assume you do not know how to use a spoon ?

Now don't take it away, or he'll run away from home and fall out of a tree.
