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?
My parents simply didn’t buy any games beyond roller coaster tycoon 2, myst 3 exile, and MS combat flight sim WW2. So it didn’t really matter what the content was in any other games because that was it.
I ended up pirating whatever I wanted and my parents didn’t seem to care, I think it was more about being opposed to spending money on games. We didn’t have any consoles whatsoever.
