Acrylic Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/gta4/news_6128837.html I actually find this funny. And what I find even funnier is this quote: "The Minneapolis-based watchdog group, founded by Dr. David Walsh, previously decried the game for its glorification of cop-killing with an online petition. Now the group is issuing a National Parental Warning for the game, giving concerned mothers and fathers a heads-up that their children could be playing with their joysticks in an inappropriate way."

El Sitherino Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 PlayStation 2s aren't very hacker-friendly Lol, BS. Anyway, another report about an idiotic censor group that can't take care of their own kids so they want the government and the stores to do it for them.
Jo Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 Well anybody you ask about the GTA series can tell you kids should not be playing it. I wouldn't be letting a kid under 13 play that game. And even at 13 i would be skeptical. I never played Grand Theft Auto till i was in 14. If your mature than you can handle it. Parents are stupid if they go buy what their kids ask for without finding stuff out about it first.

Hermie Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 Yeah, I really think it's inapropiate to let children play all these violent video games, as they are very easily influated. Someone should come up with a system that prevents people that are under 18 from buying it. Like a box labeling or something like that.

Sam Fisher Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 Sadly, I personally have seem many parents buying GTA for their kids (all of whom seem to be under 12) at my local Wal-Mart, as well as other games like it., simply because they say "well Jimmy has it!" and their parents just go with it, not even caring in the least :/ On topic, I just have to say that some people have no right to let others in on their fantasys.
BongoBob Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 Young kids + GTA = no-no Mature (and sane) people at least 14 or 15 and above + GTA = alright Originally said by Tim Buckly If someone goes out there and kills someone because they thought they were still in a video game, they were messed up in the head way before they got their hands on a controller. And I find that whole thing quite hilarious. PS2s not hacker friendly, bull****, talk to the people getting linux to run on ps2s, gamecubes, xboxes, blenders, toasters, etc.
Sabretooth Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 Joystick, inappropriate way? *Sabre gets some ideas which are too disgusting to be posted on any forum in this world*
toms Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 someone post when they work out how to get it to work on the xbox version....

It's pretty much just place the disc in, download a particular program, click run bam. You just accessed all the data on the disc. You are now capable of data manipulation and have broken 37 different laws.
Mike Windu Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 Originally posted by Acrylic their children could be playing with their joysticks in an inappropriate way." Push the button! Push the button! Anyway, I laugh at this, ooooo they put something in there and somebody found it, scary...
Jo Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 well it's not the modders fault Rockstar left the code in. they are the idiots here.
ET Warrior Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Originally posted by Jo well it's not the modders fault Rockstar left the code in. they are the idiots here. I don't believe it makes them "idiots" that they didn't comb through all their code to make sure that they'd removed all inappropriate stuff. It wasn't enabled, and thus wasn't a part of the finalized game. But hey, that's just me =/
Jo Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 comb through it? I see where your coming from. but if 2 days after the game came out on PC a regular modder found the code to use, there is no combing to do. Its remove it. they just were stupid and im sure they have some very "good" excuse as to why they failed to remove it.
TiE23 Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 I was looking at this stuff last week and saw a video of it... Really weird and funny Low Poly boobs especially turn me on. I also have a related story to tell: I was at Gamestop a few days ago looking at games, when two boys, ages (appox.) 7 and 9. The younger one was kinda hyperactive and loud. So they came in, looking at the PS2 games and stuff, each holding a DS. They start saying really loud in a high pitched voice: "I want Grand Theft Auto! Where is Vice City!?" They looked around and found San Andreas, and the little kid goes "I dont like that one, I want Vice City!" Everyone in smiling at eachother and giggling quietly, rolling our eyes at these funny kids. Then they walk up to the guy at the desk and put there DS' by themselves and say "We want to trade these and get Grand Theft Auto!" The clerk tells them they need the power cables and their parents cause they are really young and stupid. So they get all sad and act like its all cool. "Oh, okay, I'll get them later!" And they start asking for Vice City. The guy humors them and helps them find an Xbox copy of the game. They go back up to the desk and askes for the price, he (lies) tells them its $50. So they all get unhappy and stuff. And well, I wish it ended better, but they just leave looking for their parent with DS' in hand. TiE
