    Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4

    I've known the manager at my GS for years, he's a good guy. He had a 10 year old come in to buy San Andreas a few years ago with him mom, who was talking on her cell phone the whole time. He actually interrupted her very important conversation to advise her that this game is for adults and might not be a good choice for her son.

    She went NUTS bitching at him about preaching etc. He was like, oooook lady here's your game. Jack Thompson needs to realize that forced virtue, is not virtue.

    My son will never see this game. I will play it only when he sleeps. It is inappropriate for him. I don't let him watch anything with shooting. But Jack Thompson can blow me if he thinks he can force me NOT to play it. I'm smokin' fools, bottom line.

      Completely irresponsible on Take Two's part.
      Being sarcastic? If not, you know not ever video game is made for kids, more times then not games are not made for kids.

      Do you want to ban movies, music and porn that kids shouldn't have their hands on.

                I completely disagree. I don't think there is anything wrong with kids watching violent movies or playing violent games. As a kid growing up I was not censored to anything. I can only recall being asked by my father to leave the room during one movie and that was 'blue velvet' ...but i was allowed to watch my favorite movie then (and now) conan the barbarian over and over and over.

                The key is to make sure kids know, and fully understand that movies and games are b.s. To really make sure that they know that, and then at that point I really don't see a problem. Also is there really anything in this that is "too much" for a 14 year old to see for example - i doubt it,..i mean you'd need to lead a very sheltered life for this to be a problem.

                      With that kind of punishment, you'd think that somebody sodemized the Pope's mother in the Vatican.

                            I've now seen 4 TV commercials for this game, all for the PS3. I would think MS' money would have got them some commercials as well.

                                Regarding the sex/violence what have you of this game....There's a reason there's a rating system. Parents are just too lazy and won't give a damn what their kids play. Jack Thompson and the news media can't tell us what to do in this situation. If anything, it's the parents that should be getting the scolding.

                                I have a cousin whose son plays GTA games. The first thing i'm going to do next time I see him (and I see him often) is not to buy this game for his kid. He's going to be 13 and his brother is only 8 so I would definitely advise against having them play the game especially the younger one.

                                In fact, I might even go so far as to hide the game whenever they come over.
