I'll admit that after playing GTA for several hours, I feel like getting in my car and running over people or slamming into another car, but I'd never do it.

It's no one's fault except the kids, at the ages of 14 and 16, they know the difference between right and wrong and they shouldn't even be able to blame their parents.

I agree...

GTA it's becoming an obsession for me. I find myself at work sitting and thinking about the missions and how to pass 'em. The game it's kinda the life we wanted but I never had the balls (or the brains) to do something like that.

16-14 they should know better than shooting at the cars passing in the freeway, you might have a slight chance to kill someone anyway chit happends and hopefully nobody will do something like that again
Just my .02

Lets take this back a little bit! What if Duck Hunt created killers you where using a gun shooting ducks but all you want to shoot at is at the dog!! So you go outside and shoot the neighbours dog does that mean that duck hunt is a violent game no it menas you are dumb.

“As many mentioned is all based on how mature you are for there kind of games”

That’s My POV.

PEER PRESSURE AFFECTS A LOT LET ME TELL YOU AT 17 IN HIGH SCHOOL THESE DAYS KIDS GET INFLUENCED VERYMUCH BY OTHER KIDS TO DO THINGS AGAINST THEIR VOLUNTARY WILL. AND TO BE COOL THEY DO IT.

So that also might help out! Your PEERS

Let us face the fact that there are those who are "reality" challenged and are easily influenced. Video games just make a convenient target. Before video games it was books or movies that were targets of those who critize violence in children.

I am a little disturbed by people who play games whose object is to sneak up on people and kill them, just as I would be disturbed by people who played a game whose object was to sneak up on a woman and rape her. But....

(a) bad taste has never implied violent behavior
(b) I think games like GTA are so over the top and ridiculous that they're more comedic than bad influence
© if there ever has been a case where the producer of a book, song, movie or videogame has been found guilty of contributing to someone's death, I think people have abused that excuse long enough and egregiously enough that people don't take it seriously anymore (and won't until the next big leap forward in interactive media, maybe full-body sensory VR suits, in which case if any of you freaks are still playing Tom Clancy games you can just stay the hell away from me )

Ultimately, there'll be a small flurry of editorials about these terrible merchants of violence and depravity, a larger flurry of editorials about accepting personal responsibility for your own actions, a few stores will stop carrying the game, and life goes on. Anyway, hasn't GTA: VC become the biggest game in history without Wal-Mart even selling it?

[Osbo]

I dunno, I don't get my games at Wal-mart... anyway, what I think it's the GTA VC it's very well done and everything, been playing non stop for about a week now. What I think the developers could have done it's some sort of either parent control or control the player in the game not to kiil innocent people. I remember that Duke Nukem had a gore setting in wich u can control the ammount of blood in the screen. Things like that. Let's not forget that violence it's the number 1 seller in video games.

I'd say that everyone here had at one time in their lives played a game in which one videogame character mowed down others with a gun...or driven a videogame car recklessly...or had controlled a character that had EATEN other videogame characters. Are we all poor-driving serial killer cannibals, then?

OK, I am...but I blame society.

[raindog]

I know you were kidding, but I really think that when your character and its prey are drawn 8 pixels across with only a color or two, and there's no attempt at creating the view out of the sniper's eye or whatever, it's way less disturbing than looking down the barrel of a virtual rifle at a photorealistic human target.
