knight 12167 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hello I was wondering some good strategys to convince your parents that you are mature enough to play M for mature rated games. thanks KNIGHT 12167 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerGod Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 My advice might not be the best because my parents don't really give a damn about what I play. :\ But try doing mature things. Do chores without being told can be a big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 get them yourself and don't tell your parents it's totally foolproof try doing mature things. Do chores bahahaha sucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Avlectus Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Well, before the fact you'll have to prove you're not going to somehow let it affect you badly. This M game in question...what is the content? Maybe also doing a little something extra for them. Something they wouldn't even normally think to ask. Then afterwards you control yourself as best you can to not act out because of it. Expect to be given more responsibilities because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 How about asking them? If my kids ask me about a certain game, I'll take a look at it. If I think it's OK, I'll let them play it. If not, then I'll explain why and tell them I'll rethink my decision in the future if the situation changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then I'll explain why and tell them I'll rethink my decision in the future if the situation changes. This. Also, what my parents do (since they haven't played video games since the original Nintendo) is let me figure out what's good and what's not. I spend hours researching a game, and then, if I like what I see, I think about it for a month or two, and then, if it still appeals to me, I ask for it. PS: I don't think that'd help with an M rated game, though. None of them look interesting enough to bother with, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev7 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Never worked for me. In fact, recently I asked for a M rated game and I got a 2 hour lecture from them. I have to follow their word though....so I say--simply ask them and see what they have to say about it. See if one of your friends that actually has the game that you want, can lend you it for a little while, so that you can show your parents. That is what I did. Tell them why you want the game and be mature with how you handle what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 yes listen to rev7 the guy who was never successful in getting an m rated game go buy it yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrtoken Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I think part has to do with what sort of game we're talking about. If it's something like Halo, where the only reason it's M-rated is due to blood alone, then I think it might be somewhat acceptable. Now, something Grand Theft Auto is a whole other bag, since it deals with blood, strong language, drug use, sexual content, etc, and if I were any sort of parent, then there's no way in hell that I'd let my kid play that. Of course, it could also depend on personality. If someone is more, well, mature and intelligent when it comes to controversial matters, then that might also affect overall judgment.

Sabretooth Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 My dad doesn't care what I play, and since ultraviolence isn't much of a moral issue here, I'm fairly okay with violent games that don't have much sex. And hence I found myself playing Unreal Tournament and Quake III at the age of 9. If you ask me, barricade yourself in a room with large supplies of food and water. Obtain games through non-legal means across the Internets. Do not let your parents in. Declare your rebellion. If necessary, get yourself weapons and ammunition to protect yourself. Use first-person shooter games to practice. Do not be afraid to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight 12167 Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Well this paticular game is 007 Casino Royale for the wii.really they have been quite resonable but I am still annoyed with them.They gave me the deal that if i continue to get good grades and if I dont do somthing really bad they will permit me to buy M games when I am 15 I think I will just have to settle down and wait....... it's not like it is going to completly ruin my life.

Tyrion Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 My advice would be to tell your parents that in M-rated games they have guns with chainsaws attached. It'll make them realize that they're bad parents for denying you the possibility to behold such awesomeness. I mean, seriously. Chainsaws. On guns. You can't lose with that argument.

Mav Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 they will permit me to buy M games when I am 15 Aren't you from Australia, so at 15 you'd be able to buy "M" games anyway...

Arcesious Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 It takes trust. But I've only been allowed to play Halo 1-3. I have yet to be allowed to purchase other M-rated games. Give it time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
