Videogame Violence

[ScienceFairy]

Should there be a limit to how much violence/sexual themes a videogame can show? GTA has more swear words than Scarface on some kind of super-crack, and there are so many bare breasts in God of War I'm scared Kratos might sprout a pair any second.

Personally, I don't much care either way. But, you know.....anyone feel strongly about this?

I'm not overly strong either...but I feel that by restricting these things legally, it'll only give the parents less responsibility...I mean, why should more mature players that can actually handle this stuff have to give way because some parent can't be responsible for their kid? Parents need to take more initiative in what their kids play/watch...they shouldn't let the legal system do it for them...

I think parents who really care about what their kid play should take the responsibility upon themselves to actually look at the rating of the game. Companies rate things for a reason. Parents just need to be more watchful if they actually care what their kid plays.

You know what's worse?

Some of these parents will buy the game, without looking at the rating, and then have the nerve to COMPLAIN to the company about how violent/sexual it is.

Note that these people also complain about mature games being on DISPLAY and a few of them complained about how the WII ZAPPER teaches kids how to shoot a gun. Honestly, not only do these people lack common sense, but they lack morals as well.

News for these people; there comes an age when your child does not like Barney anymore, so quit trying to find reasons so you can keep your child from seeing these games. OTHER PEOPLE SHOP THERE, TOO, YOU KNOW. Not everyone cares like you do, so leave the store clerk alone and let him do his job.

Jeez, these people irritate the piss outta me >.<
