Alexander. Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Thinking back to your child hood, did your parents ever buy 15/16/18/21 age restricted computer games for you to play? Why or why not? Do you agree with their decision? Share your experiences below and what you personally think about the above.

My parents got me Mortal Kombat, GTA , Max Payne, RE etc. They bought them because I loved the games and I never really had any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 it's hard to put those restrictions on kids. It can be pretty difficult to say that age restrictions can fix those things. I think the best way is to limit some of the access of kids towards such type of the content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sort of behaviour would be a deal-breaker for me. It's not that the sexualized characters are all that important, but I don't like people feeling they can restrict my activities. 19 hours ago, killamch89 said: You know what mate?

If a game ended up in the house, everyone who felt like playing it did, regardless of whom it was purchased by or for. My family was pretty repressive regarding media use in general, but that was mostly my mother, and she didn't really "get" computers, so it was the area where she had the least influence. As a result, I got to play most things I wanted without any issues. It was books, movies, TV and music where she had all sorts of restrictions. Actually, one HUGE stupid restriction she had was a strict ban on ALL RPGs, whether digital or tabletop. She thought they were devil worship or something.

To be honest, I never grew up with that many restrictions so I got away with playing any game I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're lucky. I always seemed to be involved in a pitched battle over something I wanted to play/read/listen to/watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Well, my parents never put any restrictions on my game playing except for the time my gaming time were drafted for me in order to have me take care of other things I need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I was way more mature than most of my peers and even though I got into fights on a somewhat regular basis, I never really started any of them. I was also very strong-headed and stubborn so I never really succumbed to peer pressure so in an odd way they did trust me enough. 3 hours ago, Heatman said: Well, my parents never put any restrictions on my game playing except for the time my gaming time were drafted for me in order to have me take care of other things I need to do. Funny enough, I would get do whatever required my attention so I wouldn't be disturbed from my gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time slot system works out just fine. I think depending on how we are letting the kids know when to study and when to play games. Things would be lot different in that context. That's something can be said for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
