that's why it's rated M, and retailers aren't allowed to sell it to people under 17.
Redneck Rampage, if you drank too much whiskey you couldn't walk straight.
Not at all. The majority of buyers for computer and game system games are between the ages of 21 and 35, they are the driving force behind the industry.
One of the funniest games ever.
Or worse - the pro-druggies who will be disappointed this game doesn't come with real live samples so they can continue to waste away their jobless days behind a video screen, posting on their favorite websites how all drugs should be legal and there should be no consequences for their actions.
Now that game rocked!
Heck it goes further back than that. All the way to coin operated Mario Bros, they had shrink pills and grow pills and make everything look wierd pills, right out of White Rabbit.
Evangelical Rapture, if you post too much you start writing in "tongues" (I know I'm going to pay dearly for this one). Smile folks, just kidding.
I'm not appalled, but I will also refrain from buying it because it sounds dopey.
I dunno. The player, I presume, is playing a LEO, and is into graft (confiscating drugs for personal use). May be a more realistic picture of LEO's than we usually see in any media.
Note that my post stated "anti-drug law cotillion..."
Now that's funny!
LOL!
Now THAT brings back some (very weird) memories..........
Just a side note.
The game designers came up with Redneck Rampage after visiting my city in Louisiana. I also recognised several of the landmarks throughout the game (Taylortown store, etc).
Just made it funnier.
yup that was a good one. This isn't anything new. Just another case of parents actually have to do some parenting and know what their kids are getting themselves into.
"So Letting my 6 YO play GTA Vice City, is a bad thing ?"
LETTING the 6 year old play is the key here. Parents are responsible for what games their children are exposed to.
I don't think it's the video game makers who should be under fire here. Plus it says it has negative in-game effects, as in expulsion or demotion in the force. Plus you can pass out and lose your money and stuff.
I don't see how this game is any more harmful to society than most of the movies that come out in the theater. People focus on kids playing these games, but that isn't the game maker's fault. Hence why they rated it mature.
"Note that my post stated "anti-drug law cotillion..."" Yes, I had in mind I think exactly the type of person you suggest. Someone like Cyber LIberty.
A more realistic game in which the player is the Beltway lobbyist for a Drug Lord, and has to logroll the deals between lawmakers to ensure maximum cash-flow and influence, would be challenging.
And too close to the bone for comfort.
