Do your parents care about age ratings?

[Apple]

How strict are your parents in terms of what games you could buy, going back to when you were younger as well? I can remember getting GTA 3 when I first got my PS2, I must of been about 10 or 11 and it was rated 18. My parents just buy me any games and always have done, some people might think that's wrong to do but they haven't mentally affected me like they say video games sometimes do. It's strange because only recently I went to Asda to get myself GTA IV Liberty City Stories and I picked it up and went over to the till then realised, I wasn't going to be able to buy it because of the age restriction. That just shows how that the age restriction had never even crossed my mind because all my life it has never had to.

TBH i wasn't aloud many huge age ratings wen i first got my ps2 but wen i had it for like a month i got GTA , now i have an xbox 360 and TBH my parents let me have most games as long as i pay for them :p

when i was younger they didnt let me play like 15s really, sometimes I could play my bros GTA game but they never bought them for me, but thats cos i wasnt really interested in games. I guess if there was an 18 I wanted they might have but I never tested it out and being not very interested in games then most of the things I wanted were my age (ish). I'd say since I got interested in games (around when I were 11/12, basically when I got my ps3) I got interested on more mature games and they never really minded. My dad used to say whenever I played GTA "youre not gonna be a mass murdered when youre older are you?" I always said "no". He doesn't do that now so I guess he thinks I can take it all in without having to go out irl and kill someone.

So basically no.

My mom buys them as long as I pay. But she wont buy like 18's for my brothers.

I'v pretty much had every GTA game, minus one or two of the originals. It hasn't effected me at all, brb gonna go kill a rabbit.

For a game to effect you, you have to have a screw loose in your head to begin with.

I wasn't used to, when i got to about 13, then i was allowed anything really,

They built me up on a diet of low rated then high-rated, so that I became desensitized really. Didn't have any effect on me, otherwise they'd pull the plug.

Well, I think it's pretty clear, my parents don't care about age ratings if I tell you I play on MW2 and GTA IV and I'm 11 LOL but when I was like 6 I wasn't allowed 15s I was only allowed 12s

Nar, I'm allowed any game no matter what rating.
