fourmations

hi

i bought gta5 to play on my sons xbox
and intended to keep it a secret
but it came up on his profile so he knows
(yes, i know, i havent a clue about xbox)

anyway, he's badgering me heavily to play it
any parts that i could go to and let him play?
im only starting it so i dont know it well yet
anywhere he could drive around or fly or any of that
without constant swearing or OTT violence

cheers

unless you are going to sit with him the entire time and don't leave him play any missions or do anything.

If you give in and let him play then he is going to try and play the full game. Which in my opinion 10 is too young to play.

LOTD

The content of the game is way too mature for a ten year old

Not really tbh, unless you turn the sound off and let him just drive around, a even bumping into other drivers can make your character go "ah for fcuk sake!" There's a LOT of swearing in it :pac:

He's 10 just tell him no. It's rated 18 for a reason.

No, this is far to graphic. If you let a child play this you are a bad parent.

I played VC when I was 8 so you are saying bad parents let their kids play 18 rated games.

When I was at the launch a guy was standing near me with two kids who couldn't have been more than 10-11 each, ridiculous really. It's people like that who give the "games are corrupting the youths" brigade more ammo. Be responsible when it comes to this stuff, wouldn't let your kid watch Game of Thrones? don't them play adult games either.

Tennis maybe? Probably best to ban it completely ashe'll badger you to play other parts.

Been playing GTA since I as a child myself and never did me any harm.

You've played the game yourself, why are you asking other people's opinions on what you allow your child to play?

Would you allow him or her to watch Scarface? Same thing.

My son is playing it and he's 11. My choice.

Do you watch him play? Are you fully aware of content of the game?
Would you allow him to watch an 18 rated movie?

I don't care what you or others say, that's terrible parenting.

But if you have no problem with your child seeing prostitution, drugs, murders, strippers and coarse language then who am I to say anything?

If parents don't mind their kids seeing sex, drugs and violence, that is their decision.

Would you let your 11 year old watch a movie with the same content? @lukesmom

My husband is fully aware of content. He has watched a few 18 movies.

Yes and yes.

Well, it is indeed your choice but it screams of lazy parenting to me.

I hope it doesn't do him damage at that highly impressionable age. I'm glad my mother had the sense to set me boundaries when I was growing up.

No way in hell should a 10 year old be anywhere near this game.

It's for adults only, the average age of a gamer is like 28 years old, most games reflect this.

If a parent decides it's ok for an 11yr old to see that kind of thing then I'd strongly recommend the children be taken off them.

Well then there would be a lot of children leaving their parents, all his friends have it and play online together.

Have you seen him play the game? I used to have to hammer it home to people buying GTA games for their kids off me that there's stuff in it that's in no way suitable for kids. It's not a kids game in the slightest.
I have a 10 year old nephew who was trying to convince my sister to get it for him, not a hope. I wouldnt want a 10 year old playing a game with the amount of swearing, torture, sex and drugs GTAV has. He's way too young.

Why though?

Loads of us played the previous GTA's when underage. Did you ever see a film that you shouldn't have because of your age? Or even an album?

He plays GTA V online does he? That's cool considering the rest of the world have to wait another week. Shows that you are completely clueless about what your child is playing.

Each GTA has ramped up the realism and violence level though.

I played GTA 1 when I was 12 or 13 or so, but that was a 2d overhead cartoon in comparison with the modern GTA

I played GTA 1 at 14, do you think that game is in anyway comparable to GTA V?

May aswell just give kids a copy of Manhunt and let them play that too.

I play FIFA online, different story to GTA. An 11yr old CHILD should not be playing this game, it's not up for debate.

Is it possible to supervise him as he drives around the streets avoiding cops and nicking cars? Thats pretty much the fun part anyways...
