Yeah, I'll agree it's completely the parents lack of will/ability/power to be able to control what their kid is exposed to these days. |
| Maor:
There were alot of games with "perental control" Capabilites. For example: SOF 2 Had that menu that lets you turn off gore and stuff. And perental control exists in more videogames these days because of the risk. |
| Rughugger:
Yes, but how is a parent going to control something owned by the kids short of taking it away? They'll only go to their friend's house and keep on doing it. |
| JD:
In fact I agree with you. Less blood/gore would actually HELP you play the game better (less to process), and decrease the rating. But still, if your legal parent/guardian buys it for you, you can't be held accountable for having an M rated game thus making it legal for you to play it. |
| Rughugger:
They only buy it because their kid won't stop making a horrid scene until they do. Or they just have an older friend buy it for them. As I said, parents have little control these days over what their kids are exposed to. I don't see how they're expected to in most cases. If it's in the house, then yes, I'd say whup a 13 year old for buying a game they know he/she is too young for. Or at least be present to explain why it's only appropriate to do on the game and not in real life. Show some responsibility I suppose. |
