This is all opinion. They want that market too hence the t for teen rating. I was playing grand theft auto when I was a wee lad and I only have one felony.

Enjoy your 2 year sentence kid

Funny how I actually did a report in school about this very topic. We had to debate on whether video games cause real life violence. However, we actually had to quote scientific articles or our "facts" would be considered null. Seems to be exactly the case here. You're spewing your opinion as if it's fact and then chastise anyone else who disagrees. You've said in previous replies that you're above 18 but you certainly don't act the part. If you're going to say that games cause violence, you might as well get rid television, books, movies and shut your kid in the basement. That way they'll turn out[i] perfectly[/i] normal since, you know, they won't be exposed to the horrors of mildly violent games.

I'm 13 and this is a T+ game so I'm fine lol

If the parent believes that there mature enough, then so be it. It's not up too you too decide

You really enjoy doing this don't you? +1 lol

I hope you realize this game is meant for children, it's rated teen with a simplistic story line designed to be played by kids. I hope this is a troll

There would be NO possible way to enforce this

No one is going to arrest a kid for playing a video game they shouldn't be playing. Ratings are there for reasons, to inform the kids and the parents alike; don't try and parent the children of other people.

I've noticed a small change ever since starting to play...an evil inside of me that has never manifested itself before. I will use it to make fun of your dumbass post. Destjny is by far on of the least violent shooters on the market right now, for pete's sake it's rated T.

Played halo when I was 3, perfectly normal human being ;)

i read 1 and 2 and stopped reading im 15 the only random people i play with are these 2 guys we play everyday and were pretty good "internet friends" but i also play with my 2 friends that i've known since 7th grade we play a lot but on the weekends i'm never home and when i am its when i can't get a ride or go anywhere. Just read number three and that's -blam!-ing retarded i knew how to say -blam!- in the third grade and i didn't even know what a -blam!-ing video game was im not gonna bother reading the rest because i dont care.

[quote] 1)It causes traumatic situations. I for one do not want my child flinching and screaming away every time they see somebody holding a sword.[/quote] what? Your child would flinch over a fictional character holding a sword? Let's consider he age a child would have to be to pay attention to the game and therefor have understanding that it's a game. If a knight in a game frightens them, then they properly are just typical whimpy children. I know plenty of parents who's children see them play destiny and who also play destiny. [quote] 2) It causes anti-social instincts to grow. When you think about it, the average session a child will play in Destiny is three to four hours. That's three two for hours where the only communication the are getting is with people they have met over the Internet. I don't want children growing older and being scared of every person they see.[/quote] You are quiet literally pulling statements out of your arse. Playing a game for "three two for hours" a day (seriously check what you write) will not make them scared of people unless you the parent never limit their gameplay and introduce them to the world. Children can play games and be social, just like adults. It is the parents responsibility to ensure the child is well developed in all aspects of life. I've played online games since there were games to play. And no part of my life is anti social. Your logic is flawed. [quote]3) It teaches them bad words. Every lobby I go into, there is always that person (usually a child) screaming curse words for no good reason. Where did they find out these words? From older players. If there was a minimum age, you would not have this problem. Children are getting angrier because of this game.[/quote] Or Lord. So what? A child does not hear bad words from games alone. People do say naughty naughty words in real life too! And teaching a child if they do know naughty words when it's appropriate and when it's not is more sensible then stopping them from playing a game like destiny. Children are not angry because of a game, children get angry because of heir own personal family issues. [quote]4) My final reason is that it causes violence. No 10 year old should be able to make another creatures head explode, or shoot other players virtually. What happens when that transfers to the real world? That anger and frustration would lead to much property being desecrated including Mailbox Baseball Laser Tag TPing Houses Egging Cars Multiple holes in the wall from being punched. ANY PERSON who do not follow these rules should be arrested with a minimum 2 year sentence. Thank you all for the support you give me. I believe that a change to only 18 year olds and over would make the worlds youth safer and more intelligent than currently.[/quote] Violence? You're going to go down that road. Let's just remove violence from the news, films, and TV shows whilst we are at it. You really are a moron if you think all it takes is a game to make children violent and not the mental issues that they were already born with. Laser tag?.... Wow You should be sentenced.. To not having children if you don't know how to raise them. Don't blame a game on your bad parenting. Yes let's change destiny to 18 and over! Then all crime in the world will end!
