I was talking with a coworker about what games my parents allow me to play, and what they let their kids play. My parents were fine with most things bloody things, like Resident Evil 4, Left 4 Dead and Gears of War, mostly because you were fighting like aliens or zombies. They were fine with military shooters too, and got really interested in the Modern Warfare storylines. The game that they really had a problem with was GTA, of course, but later, when my little sister started playing it, they got invested in GTA 5’s story, so eventually we could just play whatever we really wanted. How bout you all? Did your parents have any weird or strict rules in games or movies?
They were watching it, there were some time restrictions, sometimes, and I didn’t want to play bloody games or FPS anyway, so there was never any discussion about getting or not getting them.
But I did get a gameboy at 6, which helped greatly with learning to read, because guess what, if you read slow, the story and progress is slow.
I wouldn’t say “weird”, but there were rules.
