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?
I didn’t really have a whole lot of restrictions. My first home console was the Wii, and ofc there weren’t a lot of mature titles to worry about there. When I got a little older I got an Xbox 360 and really wanted to get Call of Duty, which my mother was a little hesitant about but eventually relented.
The real thing my mother cared about was online interactions. I was not allowed to be friends with people or talk to people I didn’t know. (Eventually I started doing it anyway, and she didn’t appreciate it when she found out)
