Staredit Network -> Lite Discussion -> The banning of GTA SA
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Staredit.Net Essence on 2005-08-04 at 11:35:22
I know there was already a thread about this, but I want to talk about it a bit more, that's why I put it here in Lite, so we can have a normal discussion and not a serious one where everyone has to follow a certain set of rules.

Anyways. I was talking with a friend of mine and she made me think of stuff that I didn't think of before.

The nudity in the game was already in there, correct? Well, the only way to see it on the Computer Version is to download the Modification (Which is Illegal, isn't it?) And the only way to get it on the console version is with a Game Shark. But the only way to find it in the console version is to hack into the game, correct? (Which is also illegal, is it not?)

So what i'm trying to say is, isn't it a bit harsh for the government to slap a AO rating on it when the only way you can get it is with ILLEGAL things?

What are your views?

No flamming or spamming Members.

Flame and spam the government all you want, as long as it stays on topic.

You can't try to reason with politicians. It'd be easier to teach morals to chimps. Well, most chimps, because you have to exclude Bush. tongue.gif

The game wasn't banned.

And I've said before I think it's stupid - you cannot unlock that :poo: without hacking or doing something unintended by the developers to the game so why hold them responsible? It's :censored:ing stupid.

I agree.

Rockstar should sue the people that cracked it.

What happened to child friendly hooker & civilian killing? Just stupid IMO, you had to do so much crap to your game console, and you had to hack on the comp to use it. The developers never intended for this. So really, it's just screwed.

It's partly Rockstar's fault, they could of removed it, but you know, buisness is buisness. They've already reaped most of the profits from the game anyways.

Ten bucks says if you open any game made before the gta : sa there will be stuff in it that was closed off. SC for example, the units you shouldn't be placing!

Yea, if they make it Adults Only then they should do that for any game where you can possibly get nudity by hacking.

Why isnt wc3 AO? I mean i was on with my friend and they have porno pics as map previews... I mean little kids can get on that...

well who cares about the nudity and bad words. the game is already rated M for mature 18+.
even porno and playboy magazines can only be bought by 18 year old and older.
so why even ban the game if it has a little nudity and a little bad words.
the only game i would think that they should make it rated A for adults is when the characters are actually both butt naked and having sex with close up action happy.gif

Because the average mommy and daddy don't know this yet. Politicians do the best they can to make their people like them. I see hillary trying to get some of the conservative votes to swing her way for a future campaign. It's actually, sadfully obvious. Either I'm getting smarter to notice this, or they're getting stupidER at manipulating people. (They're still great at it, I mind you) It's one of the 2.

AO rating is down right retarded as hell. Same with mature. 17+ for fake blood and violence? Find me a good psychologist that says 15 or 16 year olds should not be playing games with bad language, or animated gore/violence like gta.

What's with that whole sweet 16 deal? Most adults these days find it normal for 15-17 year old kids to have sex. What is this? The full of ourselves 50's?

These ratings are for pussies, seriously. If I get son, I'm not gonna follow these current rules at all. They'll only increase the chance of making my son become more of a cry baby censored.gif. I don't want no teenage son that doesn't want see titties until he's 18. Or be able to shoot someone in a video game until 17. I want my son to be my son, not my daughter. Men are made to hunt, kill, eat, censored.gif, and sleep. That's it. I don't want my son to be missing one of his primary attributes. He'll be an outcast in human society.

Ironic thing about all the winey parents that are afraid to show their children a little place called Earth, is that they will be more than happy to make all the ESRB rules that they have followed go to complete waste by sending their kids to the military so they can go train to shoot real people when they're 17. I mean, if you're gonna follow these rules, follow them. Don't half ass it. You like to follow orders? Fine, I got an order for you. "Go censored.gif yourself."

Off Topic:
For the people that can't read more than 1 paragraph, so they go to the bottom and read the last setence or two, then they argue against that instead of the point I was trying to make, the last 3 words in the lil paragraph above are my honest words to you. You know who you are.

Little angery aren't we?

I agree with you though. When I have kids, i'm going to let them play whatever the hell they want to. I've been playing Nintendo my whole damn life, do you see any Psychological Violence problem with me? (Maybe a Psychological Depression like state but that's a different stroy) Our government just gets dumber and dumber everyday. Why recall GTS: SA and slap an AO rating on it when there are games 200x worse? Seriously! You don't see Leisure Suit Larry: Magan Cum Laude (Even notice the god damn spelling for censored.gif sakes!) with a god damn AO! WTF!?

Our officials need to pull their heads out of their asses before they completely ruin this country.

I think kids should be monitered and that a parents should limit such things as vilence until their ready. Every person is different, and that means that one kid may be ready at two, another, well, not until he's oh, what? 40 or 50?

Ao is just M except more scary to parents.

Hell, I saw someone complain that they took an internet explorer shortcut, placed it into the recycle bin so her kid would have to go through some aol garbage that moniters him, yet all he did was open the recycle bin, and use teh shortcut from their.

Parents these days are STUPID.

I said it in the last post and I'll say it again for people who don't understand. Everything for the Hot Coffee mod was included in the retail game minus the ability to see any of it. People putting porn into maps and making mods that have nudity and whatever else is not the same. All the Hot Coffee mod did was unlock something that was already there.
