Well, I applaud your mother for trying to do what is right, but if you are mature enough I would let my son play GoW at 16. I am assuming she is REALLY strict or you just don't demonstrate a level of maturity at your age to make her bend the bar a bit. From what you posted, that is my analysis, but since I don't know you or your mother personally, that is all I can conclude.

Dude just wait outside gamestop or wherever you are buying from and give some guy the money to buy the game and then you get the game.

Usually when a parent says something like "You're not ready for something like this", they're usually right. She probably realizes that despite your age, you are not mature enough to play Gears. My parents consider me mature for my age, hence why I can play M games. But my younger brother is not, so he is not allowed to play said games. Just ask her to rent it, and show her what its like. If she disapproves, she has the right to say no. Besides, if she catches you sneaking it, you're dead. Also Viva Pinata is a good game..I don't know why you're knocking it.

If I had a kid that was 16 I would buy gears of war for them. The laws are there for good reason they are to force parents of kids under said age to have to realise what they are buying their kids. I am not a fan of this whole cover the world in nerf material and nobody will get hurt bs that the politicians are pushing and crying about these days. But the age laws are there so they cant totally take our freedoms of media away from us. Btw I would never in a million years vote for hilary for president she is one of the biggest advocates of taking these rights away from us.

Dude they have age restrictions on everything, it's just the way it is and personally I agree with your mother or any one else's parents that don't allow their kids to play M rated games. You say "Why should I have to wait a whole year before I turn 17 to play Gears?" Because that's just how it is just like you have to be 18 to legally smoke or 21 to legally drink. Deal with it.

I'd make it 21 for everything. 21 to smoke, 21 to drink, 21 to drive, and 21 to play games like these. Kids these days are too hopped up on violent gaming anyway ;)

When Conkers Bad Fur Day came out on the N64 I rented it the frist year and played it quite a bit but the next year when I went to rent it for my B-Day the stupid person working the counter did'nt let me have it. I got it for X-Mas year after so I was happy. But yes that kind of stuff pisses me off. I also went to buy DeadRising a mounth before I turned 17 and the person working the counter asked me if I was 17... I mean come on I'm turning 17 in a month! Atleast I bought it there and then. Right now I am still 17 but I don't care if someone says I can't buy a game rated for 18+ because trust me I will get it.

Grammar please :o

But yea, I don't care about the laws, my mom and dad believe I am smart/mature enough to distinguish reality from games, and they know I can handle Gears or w/e else. :D

I dont agree with your mom (i fi had a kid i could car eless what he played as long as he didnt copy it) But,I agree with the law if kids could just buy game without parental approval then if the parents find it the video game company Or the stor ewho sold it would get sude.So thay made this law.

 In Closing yes it sucks but viva pinata is a fun game and you traded it for an ea game so...hahha

Just tell her there's a control in Gears in which you can turn off extreme content, and if you tell her about that she might let you have it. Trust me, it works usually, that's how I was able to get Gears of War.

Now while you are angry at what your mother is doing it comes to my mind that by doing this (angrily posting on a web forum) you probably arn't mature enough for it. If you were mature you would either have let it go or tried to reason with her by telling her that you can take out the extreme gore. Instead however you get onto a gaming website and make an "angry" topic.

Oh and another thing that makes me think you may not be mature would be the fact that half your sentences don't make sense because they are mixed up with different ideas and thoughts. Truly though typing "coz" and "der" makes me question a lot about you. I mean this is not a damn phone... you can type out an actual word.

I agree with your mother, not to say this is you but too many parents let their kids play these games and thats what leads to the most annoying and idiotic people on live most of the time. I also agree with someone in this topic that stated if you were mature enough you would not have started a whining session about this problem. My suggestion is make some kind of compromise with your mom that kind of stuff usually works and shows you are willing to maybe sacrifice something to get what you want, and not just a handout. Oh and if your mother is the one paying for this game than you should not even talk.

lol. Yes my mom used to do that too. Mine was with Halo. I'm 15 now and can pretty much play what I want. You made some good points, sometimes I feel the rating system isn't fair either because there are 15 year or 16 year olds that are more mature than people 17+. I know the difference between a virtual world and reality, maybe all you need to do is shoe your Mom that you know the difference too.
