I played GTA since I was old enough to hold a PS1 controller. Never stopped since. My favourite film when I was three years old was Die Hard. Fuck Mario, I knew where the cool shit was at.
Played GTA3 when I was 5. Didn't know what the fuck I was doing. Got ran over by a firetruck.
My 2 year old nephew plays Grand Theft Auto IV
bad father, he should have showed the kid how to get hookers and stuff
only retarded people react to video games irl. And for any1 under the age of 12 playing gta don't know wat they are doing anyway

GTA 3 came out in 2001.
I feel old.

I must have been 6-7 then. What the christ.
I remember having a cluelessness about the game that could only have been brought about by being too young.
Or it was because my cousin wouldn't tell me the controls or anything about the game.
D'aww, what a nice read :3:

The fuck is wrong with him?
Let the 4 year old play the "No Russian" level. :v:
I still harbour some delusions of morality and such in games. Not online stuff, of course - mostly because you know that the person you are shooting is a mere avatar of a person, and they'll be alive in a few seconds, cursing their heads off - but in single-player games I honestly feel sorry for the dead rebels, or the guards I have to kill, or the enemy soldiers. I know it sounds pacifist and wimpy, but that's how it is. And the more realistic they make it, the worse it gets.
Kind of a cute story. It's also nice evidence that games don't encourage real world violence - rather, it's the other way around.
[QUOTE=mysteryman;22571369]to this day i feel remorse at times for killing a for people in games but only at the time of me doing it. Earlier today i was playing gta iv online with my friend, i started to mess around shooting people in the legs to watch them stumble about, one of the old ladies was freaking out and started screaming "i wish my husband was alive to help me" and i just stopped. Then my friend ran up with a shotgun and killed everyone.
Then i just continued on after a bit of guilt.[/QUOTE]
Yeah it's all just fun and games when they are like inhuman ragdolls that stand around waiting for you to slaughter them and bounce around spastically. But when they start reacting too realistically it gets bad. Like this one time in Freelancer when I was cheerfully pirating away, fighting the LSF, but then one of the pilots I killed sounded a bit too realistically terrified as her ship blew to a million bits.
I didn't want to play anymore and I fled my otherwise successful raid.
If I had a kid he will be like this.
Heartwarming stuff, no really.
My brother's son played Gta:Sa since he was 3. and now he's five year old.
at his age all I did in GTA was fly planes and make plane noises
I found this to be cute.
[quote]After a few minutes of me explaining the difference between a game and real life, he felt comfortable enough to continue playing.

Four year olds can differentiate between games and real life. Take that, daily mail.

[QUOTE=CoolKingKaso;22572091]When I was young, I was also a pacifist. I would just melee in CoD, not shoot.[/QUOTE]
Beating someone to death with the butt of your gun is arguably more brutal than just shooting them.

I thought that they were just incapacitated.
I played Duke Nukem 3D when I was 5 with my parents. We even played against each others at times.
I remember my father playing Doom with me. Good times...
I never have had the urge to commit crimes.

You've been lied to. Now look back upon the horrors you have committed.
:gonk:
[QUOTE=igamiwarr;22571079]The only things that I played when I was four was Half-Life and other random FPS games, this isn't really a big deal. Though I suppose it did have an effect on me though, since I was afraid to go into water for years after playing through the parts of Half-Life with the fucking ichthyosaurs. :ohdear:
[/QUOTE]
Those damn sharks did affect me too.
Fuck I played shit like quake when I was 5 I never wanted to launch an attack on Stroggos or nothing
Apparantly, my brother told me when I played Halo, I flipped off the elites when I killed them :/
Since when can four year olds speak that fluently?
i cudld spek fluetntly when i wuz liek tw0 yers old

dun u judger me
When I play 'No Russian' and there are those people crawling on the floor, it makes me feel bad so I give them a mercy killing. Of course I still mow down the crowds and enjoy it but I know enough not to do that irl.
See the thing that got me through the GTA games when I killed someone was that no matter what I died from I was ok in a few seconds outside the hospital, why shouldn't it be the same for the pedestrians I ran down with a tank
At first I thought this was going to be some soccer mom bitching about GTA when she gave her 4 year the game for his birthday or something, I was pleasantly surprised. If more parents would be like this there would be allot less screaming 12 year old kids on online games.
"letting a four year old play GTA? lol
and one person does not account for the entire population. I like how the parent says, "he played GTA and never beat anyone with a bat!"
it's accepted by basically every psychologist that video games can have a psychological affect on kids"
Since when does affect=harm? I have no doubt games affect kids, but that doesn't mean it is in a negative way. All the kid did was drive around in various emergency vehicles helping people, how the fuck is that going to harm him?
I met someone a while ago who legitimately made all of the honorable choices in Mass Effect, not just on some second playthrough to see how things might have worked out otherwise. I wonder what younger kids would do.
