when i was walking through gta: vc
my little brother (he was 8 years old)
came in to room and just laughed when he saw
ppl flying coz of my fast car , ppl without heads etc.
games are for fun. well if ppl plays them for money... thats another thing.
i think only people who cant understand games
can create such laws...

The law is they are not allowed to buy the games.
The day someone is arrested for playing a game under age will be a black day.

age doesnt matter you know...


Actually it does matter, GTA has a 18+ rating for a reason the things in the game are not suitable for 16yr olds to be honest its the same as movies, because games are easier to get underage more newer games are gonna be toned down due to parents buying 18+ games for their children.

18+ means for 18 over, younger gamers shouldnt be playing them end of it.


TBH anyone who can't tell the difference between a game and real life should be locked up anyway. There is no reason why younger gamers shouldn't be able to play games just because they have a bit of blood in them.


Anyone playing a game under age is breaking the law, u cant say its not bad blah blah blah, laws are laws, they are not guidlines either Jacen its the actual Law here so i dont think anyone under the age of the game should be playing.

Mafia and GTA both suck, meanwhile, this thread is not about GTA, 'cause I sure as hell wouldn't post about a GTA game... it's about the concept of being police vs gangs, in real world scenarioes.

Alright guys...enough of this already.

He doesnt like GTA...so what?No big deal.
Now, if we could please focus more on the new GTA-like MMORPG which our lovely Aratan has informed us about.

Thanks.

Sazabi thinks GTA sucks. Fair enough. You've had your say, now get out of this thread, because nobody wants to hear it. Hell, you're probably not even old enough to be playing GTA. :P

Sure dude, i respect your opinion.You could just say that you dont like GTA games but...saying that they dont require skill only because you dont like them is errr...wrong.

Im not gonna point out the obvious reasons why playing GTA requires skill (even lots of).
Ill rather try to explain to you that a game which doesnt require skill...cant be a game at all.

In all games, you have to achieve a certain goal which usually ends the game.Now, there is a certain difficulty in reaching that goal which varies from game to game.Getting around that difficulty requires a certain amount of skill which depends on how challenging that "difficulty" is.
In other words, the more challenging the game, the more skill is required to beat it.If you wouldnt require any skill to beat a game...then the difficulty of reaching the goal would be non-existant...which somekinda would undo the term "game".

I hope this was clear enough =)

well...i guess we should rename this thread...
coz the only games which doesnt require skills
are gta-like games.
so if you need to think in the game its not gta-like and those games are mmorpgs.
ahh whatever... dunno what i wanted to say...
mostly that gta sux :)

There are games which doesnt require skill?
Oh...thats new

Well from my experience even MMORPGs require skill...although these kind of games are purely based on numbers and the only thing that the player has to do is to click on stats (after gaining a lvl) or click on mobs to attack them.
You still require a lot of knowledge and experience to be successfull player.

You should really reconsider your opinion if you are saying that FPS doesnt require skill.The FPS genre is most likely one of the genres which are purely based on skill (followed by RTS).
