1. Comment - GTA Re-Release Due Next Week

   (Sep 12, 2005 - 3:05 PM)

   I had problems with registering. I'm the same ROKE that posted earlier FYI:
   
   Our Moral as a people has been going down the sewer, I agree there with CHRISPATSCH... And thats the problem I try to point out. We rely too much on a scapegoat to ignore the real problems we dont want to deal with.
   
   It's not games like GTA for the most part, but also TV, pop-culture, Music... I expect nudity and violence on HBO or something, but now it's spreading to primetime 'Basic' channels (FOX anyone?). I don't even have to mention Middle/Junior High to High School. Just being around people and friends there, you're exposed to just as much, if not worse. Sad to say, but by the time a 14yr gets to the game these days, he most likely already knows more about sex than his parents... oddly enough, that's one thing that most dissapoints me in society these days.
   
   I really can't blame it all on the parenting now that I think about it. some kids or schedules can be too challenging if not impossible. And it's getting harder each generation.
   
   But one thing is for sure... make sure you know your kids' friends, and parents. Know what games their friends have. You always have the possibility of your kids going to a friend's place and playing the [game] anyway. Staple a tracking Tag to their ear, lol. That's the best option.
   
   I agree the conservatives and safety nuts tick me off alot. (anyone recount the [christian] arguement over DOOM3 "promoting satanism", omg, lol.) Alot of [them] are used to the idea of games only being for kids, like Mario and Pokemon *shudder*. They have to open up to the realization that the majority of gamers now are 15-35 years of age. And a majority of sales goto 20+. [We] don't want Mario, Looney Tunes, or Pokemon, which just disturbs us (some of us at least)... I agree GTA-class games belong to the 18+ category. I'll shrug at 15-17, but 14 and under is just too young for these GTA-class games IMO.
   
   I say for these type of games, leave the sexually *suggestive/provocative* content in, but keep it to a limit. Keep it suggestive or provocative. I don't need watch sex in detail on a video game. I got RL porn and GFs for that.
   
   I think the Hot Coffee Mod was over the line, from the descriptions, but I will have to try it myself to see just how "bad" it is... if I can find the time to play it these days. :/ BTW: right-hand conservative? so what's a left-hand conservative? lol.
