Authors Cheryl K. Olson, Sc. They are also the parents of a teenage boy who plays video games. But he seems to know all the characters and what they say, so he must be playing it someplace.
Parents have every right to refuse to buy or rent games that offend their values or seem inappropriate for their children. Kutner and Olson suggest that parents prepare for this by arming themselves with information. And to avoid being fired, I should probably rattle off that the opinions in this article are mine, and not necessarily those of GamesRadar, because I genuinely and wholeheartedly believe that kids of all ages should be able to buy, play and enjoy Grand Theft Auto IV.

However, if your kid can handle the violence and language, he should be ok. The sex and drugs in this game are not as prominent as I thought they would be, and can be easily handled by a 13 or 14 year old. If you are thinking about buying this game for anyone under 13 though, it will be too violent. Adult Written by christian September 21, Incredibly versatile open-world game filled with violence, sex, drugs and discrimination - for adults only.
Without a doubt, GTA 5 is the best one yet, with new options such as switching between characters, new extracurricular activities like customizing your own vehicle and weaponry, real estate buying cheap to extravagant locations , communicating with friends by internet or facebook while playing, scuba diving, racing, hunting, bounty hunting, yoga, and much more. GTA 5 is not a game for kids and teens alike, because of the constant themes and choices of extreme violence, where you can choose to harm or murder criminals and innocent civilians alike with different types of weapons and explosives.
There's one intense scene where you choose different instruments to sadistically torture a man. Language is constant and very strong countless uses of the words f--k, motherr, s--t, goddamn, a--hole, c--t, bitch, c--ksucker, d--k with very mature crude humor and explicit sexual references.
Sexual content is very graphic and strong in this game - more explicit in nature than the previous grand theft auto games. Strip clubs are also available in this game where the player chooses to gave lap dances with highly provocative women one is a transsexual and their breasts and buttocks graphically visible. They are themes of rape, incest, prostitution, pedophilia, and sexual sadism in this game also.
Some scenes make a character get in a major hallucination high state where they can't perceive reality and kill fictitious creatures like aliens and monsters. Fantastic game with endless possibilities, but for adults due to the "free country" theme where you choose to perform good or bad options - major "do anything" discrimination.
Helped me decide 3. Had useful details 1. Adult Written by kingDan November 21, CSM exaggerates too much Any sane 14 year old 9th grader can play this game. You also have to be able to trust you child not to go to the strip club, or to murder innocent civilians. There is no reward for doing so. The language can be skipped all together. Violence, however, kind of can't be avoided, although the blood and gore is not worse than most T-Rated fighting games. Adult Written by OkChill November 28, If you trust your kid not to go in those zones you are in a good position.
If your kid is mature enough to have a phone, yes they can have this game. Read my mind 1. Adult Written by Aaronpratik October 28, Its Nice Let your kids play GTA V because it doesn't have much violence also first check the gameplay how they play the game if they are doing some crime shooting innocent pedestrian then dont let them play because when they grow up they will become criminals.
Read my mind. Adult Written by KellyCrassus March 25, This will tell you if you should allow The other day my daughter who was 10 asked if she can get this game called GTA V. But when my daughter told me to research more I decided to research more and find out if it would be ok. Its a perfect game because your kids and there friends can go racing and your kids can play together. She plays with her friends every day and has been doing still good in school.
Adult Written by SmartReviews October 13, I bought this game for my 13 and 16 year old sons, with some doubt at first after seeing some video reviews like the ign review on YouTube. After watching my sons play for a little while, I have concluded that it isn't as bad as said, even I picked up the game and started playing it even though I am very against owning and using firearms. This title contains: Consumerism.
Had useful details. Mature,Not for kids, but a great game Overall. This game not only has Very Strong language but also contains a good bit of sexual elements to it:including strip clubs which are completely optional to go into ,a snippet of male genitalia which is shown in a completely non-sexual way ,a cut scene in which one of the three main characters is having sex with another guys girlfriend but no nudity is shown in this scene,but there is a very clearly portrayed thrusting motion.
The violence in this game is the equivalent to your Call of Duty shooter little blood spurts when you shoot someone,but never really any gore ,but there is however a torture cut-scene which is impossible to skip, In this one sequence, players are directed to use various instruments and means e.
The language is equal to any other M game on the market currently, the game contains uses of the words:f--k, c--t, s--t, and the "N" word. Back to me personal review, Now I'm very disappointed to see so many parents who let younger kids play games like these,and I also don't like when parents rate these games and they have not played them, and also when provide a lack of details.
This is a really mature game and It's a blast, but it comes down to knowing if your older teen can handle it,I definitely don't recommend this game to be played in large quantities of time but little snippets here and there. Helped me decide. Point it at m. Great - now schools need to be paying attention for those At Risk tm kids who don't fit in and show signs of wearing lighter colored clothing, jackets only when they're cold, making pleasent eye contact, and prone to random outbursts of "Thank you..
You make an excellent point, although it took me a couple of reads to figure out what your analogy was trying to say. Mostly because the numbers in your post appear to come out of nowhere, and I didn't figure out where you were getting them until I went through the exercise myself.
Perhaps a clearer way of putting it would be:. I wonder if the news story didn't misquote some of the statistics in the Gallup poll, because as written this doesn't make a lot of sense. My guess is that the newshound that churned out this story was probably an arts major who didn't pay close enough attention to the details of the poll and made a small typo or two somewhere in reporting the results.
The only genuine stat in there is that far too many underage kids are playing GTA That's roughly 20 million teenagers, represented by a Gallup sample of boys. At a ratio of ,7 to 1, that better be one hell of a sample job to represent the entire teenager base, which is. In fact, I've played so many games that, often times when I go outside and see clouds or a sunset, I think "Damn I'm surprised my GeForce3 can do this, oh I'm actually not kidding, I have thought that before. At any rate, despite all those mental lapses in how I perceive reality I have no criminal record.
I am not a violent person. In fact, I am sure playing violent video games is a form of venting any violent tendencies I may have. So, despite what all the blame shifters [homelinux. Hey, I get the same urges when I play any kind of game. I seem to get addicted to a game for a short period and then switch to something else.
For example: I would play mario sunshine and look at a building and say "hey I can just hover and reach that chimney! For me at least, GTA3 was n. There may be more comments in this discussion.

The study also indicates that those who played are more likely to be in fights. It's a good thing the authors cautioned that this study did not prove a link between game violence and real-life behavior.

I don't deserve my moderation points, and I'm comfortable with that. Re:punk kids Score: 5 , Insightful. I hate when adults assume to know what i am thinking. It really bothers me when some egghead who has never gotten any tail or lived when he was a teen can tell me how I think and feel.
I hate it when some punk-ass kid assumes he knows what an adult's frame of reference is. You're making assumptions that: 1 they're eggheads 2 they haven't gotten any tail 3 they didn't "live" when a teen Gee, maybe you're right.
You are the very first generation whose elders "just can't understand what it's like to be a kid these days". Aren't you special and unique in this universe. All of history served no other purpose than to prepare the way for your coming. Stop thinking you are so special and start to realize that yes, you do fall into a demographic, you do fit into trends, and you are a tool. Then you might be able to do some really original thinking.

Now, I am 26 Now, I am so sad for you. I just hate when people published documents to adults telling them how their kids think And do you hate it when adults publish documents about how other adults think? Most people follow the mob, that at least seems to be borne out time and time again in practice. Deal with it. And yes, it happens to teenagers too, probably more so than most.
Re:punk kids Score: 3 , Insightful. No, I don't have a problem when adults write about adults. You missed the whole point.
