tx3000 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) Tell your parents to read my reply There are 2 ratings for this game. because there are 2 versions of this game A (Which is 1st edition) and M 2nd edition A= Adults only M= Mature The only reason for the A rating is because of a programming code that has been long removed and that all past current releases in te last 3 months as well as any future Releases are no longer rated A...they are all M Besides you need to know someone that has the computer code unlock feature in order to get ahold of it because you can't just play the game and have it show up...its locked in the programming and needs to be unlocked via a computer program that you need to run you're game save through and is obsolete at this point because even if you do get the computer proogram to unlock it and you have 2nd edition the game save will not work Games don't really have whats called an R Ratiing they use the letter M...M in game terms is the exact equal as R in Movie terms If they let you have and play GTA III and or Vice city then whats the big deal now - This game is just a bigger version of those 2 One of the reasons people I know that play this game is because its a stress reliever because the beauty of this game is that it allows you to do all the stuff you cannot do in real life in a game and as long as you understand its a game then there really is no problems And if you look at the game along those lines it actually is a healthy release The fact of the matter is that this game isn't really too far off from the truth in the fact of the story line.....crooked cops, hit and runs, crookeed poloticians, comedians.... Listening to a radio station is basically like going to a comedy club with a comedian thats rated R Besides there are games that actually surpass this level of violence (I.E Mortal Kombat, DOA, Any fighting game, Racing games such as Burnout revenge) its just that this game happens to be the one being focused on more than the others so of course like anything else focused on its going to get an image whether good or bad..and that image is what ones opinon of it is I hope you're parents read this reply because these are just the plain facts Edited August 23, 2006 by tx3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaz The Great Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I was just pretty much like, "Hey, I want this game. Buy it for me." with GTA2. So they did. Then GTA III, then VC, and SA I pre-ordered and paid for myself, along with LCS. And with LCS I was already 17 so I could buy it without a parent there.

chris82 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Most game stores will let you get them. I was able to preorder, walk in, and pick up San Andreas PC without an adult present, and I was also handed the other games with an adult present. Do they let you do other things? Like watch R-rated movies, TV-MA rated, shows, etc...? EDIT: Your two topics have been merged. Next time, only one is needed. Also, how is Burn Out Revenge more violent than San Andreas? You should've said "The key goal of the entire Burn Out franchise is to damage or destroy opponents' vehicles. In San Andreas this is not the main goal."

tommy vercetti guy Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Tell them you're not some stupid dumb ass kid that will re-create events in games. Give them examples like "I played *enter driving game here* and I dont feel like taking a car and driving 150 MPH!" or "I played *enter shooting game name here* And I dont feel like taking a gun and go blasting people, or I played *enter fighting game name here* and I dont feel like going outside and punching someone in the face! And TX, no. If he goes to his parents and says "GTA SA had sex minigames in it, but they're gone now, so its ok!" the parents would be like "They had it in the first place!?!!?" Game Over.

Chris Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Tell your parents that you realise that it is only a game, and that you have no urge to go out and recreate any events that occur within the game, especially those relating to violence and carjacking. Hopefully they'll trust you on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigger101 Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 hey, thank you for all the replies, im sure it will help change my parents thought about the game.... thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilly Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 for me and gta1 (lol i know lame i was young but still) it was the swearing, so i dunno about it if its about the swearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx3000 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Also, how is Burn Out Revenge more violent than San Andreas? Simple its the fact that certain apects of this game you are purposely trying smashing into things and trying to take out others while playing. Putting the gameplay itself aside Lets face it after GTA is finished all the game is really good for is causing trouble. So whats the difference between purposely causing trouble with GTA and purposelycausing trouble with Burnout?..nothing its the exat same thing...I'm sorry forcing someone off the road because you are supposed to or a game that condones smashing and blowing up to take out other racers is no different then getting the law after you or running someone over for no reason in GTA I know when I play burnout I don't really care about my score I am more in tuned with how many racers I can take out before the time runs out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJman Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 One of the reasons people I know that play this game is because its a stress reliever because the beauty of this game is that it allows you to do all the stuff you cannot do in real life in a game and as long as you understand its a game then there really is no problems And if you look at the game along those lines it actually is a healthy release thats true for me, If I am mad I usually go and play san andreas. after that I am relaxed. I usually just drive really fast off a cliff or a jump That is how I got my parents to buy it for me for my birthday(plus I already bought the III and vc) but I told them that I didn't really like killing random people. I liked to drive and do pretty much anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmac Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Tell your parents that you realise that it is only a game, and that you have no urge to go out and recreate any events that occur within the game, especially those relating to violence and carjacking.Hopefully they'll trust you on this.

tx3000 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 And TX, no. If he goes to his parents and says "GTA SA had sex minigames in it, but they're gone now, so its ok!" the parents would be like "They had it in the first place!?!!?" Game Over. here we go again why can't you people for once just not post something I never said Where did you get this idea from. I Never said for him to do anything of the sort. I was explaining the ratings for the game and why they were the way they are. How did you get that I told him that there was a sex scene in this when I never mentioned anything about a sex scene?

Artur Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 (edited) Tell your parents to read my replyThere are 2 ratings for this game. because there are 2 versions of this game A (Which is 1st edition) and M 2nd edition A= Adults only M= Mature The only reason for the A rating is because of a programming code that has been long removed and that all past current releases in te last 3 months as well as any future Releases are no longer rated A...they are all M Besides you need to know someone that has the computer code unlock feature in order to get ahold of it because you can't just play the game and have it show up...its locked in the programming and needs to be unlocked via a computer program that you need to run you're game save through and is obsolete at this point because even if you do get the computer proogram to unlock it and you have 2nd edition the game save will not work That ring a bell man?

nigger101 Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 my parents recently told me the reason why they dont want me to have it and they said that they dont want me to play it for a long periods of time bc they want me to be "social" with other people and not play games too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artur Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Well just tell them that you'll only play video games for a limited time each day, like say 2 hours. Or set up some kind of other rule and spend the rest being social. I'm pretty sure you're a normal person so you wouldn't play video games but I don't know you well enough to say that for sure... Just kidding, good luck with getting the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
