Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1934 Joined: 6 Aug 2008     | Parents don't care, to them it's just a game, and where are young gamers supposed to go? I mean when you started gaming you had to go somewhere and would have been attracted to online so why are you surprised they are, they just want the fun (which they ruin trying to be gangsta's) (in todays society they're just truing to fit in so don't be so hard on them) Oh yeah and wat u got against choirs?!?! :P |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1000 Joined: 2 Jan 2008   | An age of children raised by the outdoors raised a generation who was raised by television and they've now raised a generation who are being raised online. Having kids is tricky, many adults will put the kids just about anywhere if it gets them out of our hair for a few hours. The digital age has just made it easier. - J |

i completely agree with you i know we should try and give them a chance but seriously when they team kill you when your on a kill streak just want to wring their little neck |

Too true, but you'd think parents would think about things like this before sticking their kid on games like COD4 or GTA or things like that, it's these "parents" that make XBox Live such an unbearable place half the time, the other half is filled with nothing but morons either yelling about going to have sex with their pregnant girlfriend, or ignorant Americans making fun of people from England, Canada, etc. |

Aren't you just focusing your in game death on a child? what if a group of 30 yr olds "ganked" you? It's unfair to hate a group because they have to use "teamwork" to win. Ganking is unfair but they're playing to win, so why don't you just beat them back. |

i know they want fun and i am willing to give them a chance but they ruin it for the whole team and the parents should give a damn about what their kids are doing on games. yeah they are trying to fit in but they dont games should have a server for them so we dont have to put up with the squeaky shits |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 110 Joined: 27 Aug 2008  | Yea kid just love the newfound Gaming experience its not their fault they hear the profanity and they use it on live so. There is nothing we can really do. Its the parents jobs to do that. |

So are you upset they're playing the games or that they play them in ways that aggravate you? If you think they're not old enough to play, then don't give them a chance. If you think they deserve a chance, please stop complaining when they play however they want. I agree that they shouldn't play some of the more violent games, and definitely shouldn't be allowed to talk to or hear what the more "mature" gamers say, but I'm not their parents. |

for a start i dont even know what "ganking" is and it has never happended to me before maybe because i work with the "group of 30 year olds" and im not focusing on my ingame death im using my personal experience with them as an example to explain it to people |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 76 Joined: 23 Jul 2008 | Soooo...the consenus from the escapist community is that video game censorship is generally bad, but censoring kids from going online is good. I would point out the hypocrisy but it fits my view perfectly ;-) |

The same reason your parents are letting you play a game which isn't meant for your age? Parental judgement differs. |

im "upset" by they way they play a game i know im sterotyping them into one group and in sure theres plenty of cool kids out there on xbox live but the minority spoil it dont they ? |
Anonymous Source Posts: 5 Joined: 18 Jun 2008 | uh because YOU were on Xbox Live when YOU were a kid??? who the hell would stay off of live just cause they're 12? I've been on live since I was 13, or was it 14... |

so where are their parents? I wasn't alowwed to buy GTA until i was about 16 because it was an 18.. and for a reason. that is responsible parenting to me. hell i hated my dad at the time but i see his point now. its more they play and ruin it for everyone else. i think if your old enough to be playing a game your old enough to play it with enough respect and thoughfulness so that others can enjoy it to. of course theres teabagging and what not and hell its all funny but teamkillin etc is just plain stupid and it really does ruin the game. it put me off GoW completely because it kept happening over and over in loads of rooms. Im just waiting for them all to move over to GoW2 in november and taint that with their evil team killing, game ruining, juvenile foul mouthed ways. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 437 Joined: 2 Jun 2008 | I know! and do you know what? the other day I saw children in the street! what were they doing out of that internment camp everyone one under 18 is kept? few things you need to understand right. the rating on the box of a game is purely for retail on who and who not to sell it too. it's the same with DVDs anyone of any age can play. yes the little kids on xbox live are annoying but they have every right to play it. now ether mute them or get on the PSN. second why are you parents letting you on it? let me have a little guess your parents used to be real bastards when it came to ratings and not buying you games recommended for players older than you were but now you can by 16+ games and your a little bit bitter against kids who's parents do by them the game. three. you wanted to make a successful thread for the sake of it and have been jumping at various things over the last week to try and find a topic you deem worthy. four, learn to use the search tool. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 88 Joined: 24 Jul 2008 | I don't hate kids on live. I hate the idiotic screaming kids on live. It's fine if thier ok and don't think thier the greatest then run in and die 8 times without killing a single soul ever. But when you get those morons it's really annoying and I usually leave but sometimes it's funny watching them shout random insults and wrong facts like just 2 days ago i heard that americans invented the english language I thought that was the english but what the hell do I know. If these kids would stop shouting/screaming and being total morons sometimes then it'd be ok. |

true but thats down to the parents. i remeber asking my mum for an eighteen game when i was like 13 but she never let me, jesus i was in one hell of a mood with her so i went round my mates and played the game it shook me up ,mainly because i had never seen someones leg shot of before but in retrospect i see she was protecting me from it ,all parents should do the same especially for going online you dont know whos out there talking to your son/daughter |

why when i went on battlefield the other day was most of the people on there stupidly young "children" i thought that battlefield was a 16+ game this may be a bit hypocritical of me as im 15 but who cares im decent at the game and i dont sound like a choir boy on the mic ! how come children are on xbox live and why the hell are their parents letting them
