Kids are influenced by anything. It really depends on the kid, and how much morals/logic, etc, he/she has. Me for example, I played M rated games and R rated movies when I was 5. That did not make me want to imitate those acts and such. Look at me now, I'm completely fine. Long story short, if your kid can tell from what is right and wrong and has a sense of responsibility, then Violent games aren't a problem.
For example, if a new born was taught how to play a violent game before they can remember, they'll probably be violent, if they have any comman sense, they won't be violent.
I understand ... so American children do not play violent games ... Why American children? Because only in America I heard the news that there were cases in schools where a child has killed other children because he saw it in video games. Prosti copii astia americani , cum dracu sa faci asa ceva :))
kids are not that retarded......if we were influenced by games when we where kids we would be running around in dark rooms with techno music munching strange pills..... (pacman)
The most violent game i ever saw was mario world 2. yoshi eats people alive and digests them. That's gotta be the worst and most violent death ever! And who even created that kids shouldn't play violent video games? I started playing UMK3 on genesis and i chopped people's head off there. Since then i Played gta vice city when i was 7 and san andreas when i was 10 and at least 10+ more games that has blood spilling out and i'm just normal.
The whole thing about this is just retarded i have playing violent video games when i was 6 years old (and that was counter strike) 10 years later i still am playing games like CoD and bfbc2 and i have no interested in killing anyone or shooting any one.
@Roflcopter4b There has been thousands of studies and no evidence has been proven that violent video games cause violence. Kids that cannot tell the difference between fiction and reality are the ones that may be affected and even without Violent video games they will still turn out violent due to mental illness.
@Roflcopter4b Define "Moral' In the middle honor killings are considered "Moral" Morality is just a way a culture sees right and wrong there is no such thing as morality.
@Roflcopter4b You really don't get it. Regardless I played violent video games from around 12+ I agree really under 12 is pushing it but at 12 I could easily distinguish what was reality and what is fiction.
@Roflcopter4b Says he who thinks all 12 year olds all over the world obviously had the same level of education and genetic intelligence as yourself. You know, we are all not like one another. Its up to the parent to decide the level of maturity and effects such things have on there kids. I played GTA when I was young and I have never even gotten into a fist fight let alone killed hookers and drove a tank through the streets of my town. Get with reality.
@DemonAMVs I never said any child ever would from playing video games. I just think its quite ridiculous for 12 year olds to sit on their ass pretending to kill people all day.
@Roflcopter4b Time spent using a computer or game is a completely different subject to the effects of violent games. I agree kids shouldn't spend all day in-front of a game unlike linking violence to games linking long periods of inactivity does have negative effects and has been proven so.
@DemonAMVs I never said violent games lead to violence, I just think that violent games are not meant to be played by children. I agree with the second part of your comment.
It really depends. I've played halo when I was young, and now I play numerous FPS and survival horror games. Although I admit I get mad sometimes, I've never physically hurt someone because of it. Although, I've heard if it happening sometimes. It might, but it depends on the person, how they were raised, which games, his personality, his environment, etc. All of these factors all have different psychological effects.
the strange this is that majority of the buyers will be for the "underage" and if they dont buy them we will probably not see great developments of new games and also this company will less likely to make adult oriented games and everyone will be playing mario forever
Depends... I've seen 12 year old kids playing mature games without any problems (very pacific in fact) and some guys 20 years old taht become crazy and stuff. So yeah, it depends....
@SirFancyBubbles right. My cousin is 12 years old. he`s very addicted to games.....more than I am......pretty annoying sometimes. So addicted that he thinks he own my consoles and stuff.....
I`ve been playing violent games for 20 years and never violently attacked anyone. I do believe it`s down to how you`re raised. If you`re raised with a GOOD basis of right and wrong to know reality from fantasy then i see no problem at all. Even sitting with your son while he`s on a violent game and telling him it`s ok in a game but it`s wrong in real life would be a good start.
Of course, not every parent cares about raising their kids with a good sense of right and wrong.
So you're saying that if I kill a giant serpentine monster with a highpowered gauss-rifle, I will have the urge to do that in real life? It's the same if I kill a person in real life. I know it's a video game and wouldn't and couldn't do that in real life. I think the only time a child or even adult should play violent video games is if they can distinguish the video game from reality. Which in every person I have seen (except for on the news) Thwy know it is not real. It is just a game.
if twenty million people read of a murder in a newspaper, would those twenty million people then murder another twenty million people? no. if i light a candle, does it tempt me to set the entire world on fire? if i eat a sandwich, does that make me morbidley obeese? in some cases the answer may be yes, but for the most part will be no
Well, put it this way, if there were alot of cases of children being violent because of video games, the companies would most likely be alot poorer, or completely out of business.
I wouldn't have agreed with you 3-4 years back but games are getting pretty crazy, not that I don't enjoy playing them, but like on cod5 at one part one of your fellow soldiers asks if you want to kill a whole bunch of innocent people of all ages, you choose no and they still kill them, Also with cod mw2 the airport scene is pretty graphic and other games just seem a bit overboard and I would have never thought it would be this violent in a video game. I wouldn't let my neices or nephews watch.
@techworldg I did play manhunt 2. And then i read the newspaper, and made a sandwich. as you can see, me violently murding people is not one of the things i did.
Ive played violent games since I was 6 (I'm 16 now), and I don't go around beating up people... I think that video games influence only those called "no-lifers", who spend 8~12 hours a day at the PC. I play COD6, Combat Arms and Prototype a decent 2 hours per day total, and I haven't thought of shooting some guy in real life so far, so I say it's all cool, unless you get addicted to it.
I think that to an extent that video games does not affect the mind set of a general child. TO AN EXTENT, which means that they could be influenced to do stuff but not much bad stuff. I have seen children that following playing World At War they at first, they wanted to be soldiers but after a long steady self-research quarrel, they realized that they needed to think twice about being a soldier. Let the children go out on there own stride and see what happens, get overprotected and it's bad.
Lol I got some kind of disorder wat makes my agresif like hell if i didn't have video games as a littel kid xD Well you get the point video games ware helping my not to by violent it works in two ways XD
i think kids from ages 1 to about 10 can be influenced by just about anything regardless of how there raised or taught in school there minds just are'nt fully developed yet so i probably would'nt want them playing violent games
i was going to rant in this comment, but seeing as you used the words like "may" and "possibly" instead of words like "defiently" i can respect your opinion
I played violent video games like resident evil 2 since i was about 7 and i was a punk and didn't really get into fights until i was 13, which is when i actually stopped playing games for a while. Maybe violent video games are an escape from reality, so that perhaps individuals can do what they would never do in real life, in a game.
if some kid goes out and stabs someone its probably not because they kicked a hooker to death on GTA and thought "well that was cool, lets try it in real life!".
no, odds are they're mentally warped and fucked up to have done it anyway. there have always been poorly raised or just plain fucked up people who go out and murder people, thousands of years before video games.
@666necrobutcher666 agreed. If I steal car and drive on the sidewalk (because I am fucked up) in GTA 4 i dont go do it in real life, but only because i cant get a damn gun and most people's car doors are locked!!
@TraNWhiZ yes, i agree with you, i play M rated games, like when i was 11, now i'm 14 and i haven't done anything bad like murdering someone or shooting someone
@TraNWhiZ I guess, I differ from your opinion. I agree with Rodney that it depends more on the kids' parents than it does on the kids themselves. I feel very blessed to have had some great parents in my childhood.
its not the games that make kids do things its the dumbass kid who decided it would be a good idea to do it i play many violent games and im fine i find games like halo gears of war and fallout 3 as good ways to stop being pissed because you cand be a god in games and what you want to do you can do insted of being told what to do by your boss or teacher or even your parents
i went to a website for parents where it talks about the games your kids might play. The funniest thing though, the only people commenting are 12 year olds saying they can handle it. Its so freaking hilarious.
i like how u talk lol. but ya im 12 and i play halo and cod and the only thing that happens is i get desensitysed to violence and it hasn't really affected my attitude and being desensityesed is not neccesarily a bad thing and i still feel bad if somone gets hurt
i have played every violent there is. gta4 gow1-2 re 5 unreal tournament 3,fear 2 and 1 and none of these have affected me at all. so for all you uptight parents who shelter your kids, stop!
As a 15 year old I have to agree with you, and I think that parents should be responsible enough to pay attention to ratings, and if they think their child is mature enough to play a game, then it shouldn't be a problem.
If you are 15 and you can make such a comment you probably have the brains to chose what is good or bad for you. So no need to blame your parents and need to make excuses.
How exactly was he blaming his parents ? He said that parents should be responsible for what their kids play and that ratings should be a way to inform their parents what that game is like so that they could decide whether their child should be allowed to play it or not.
It's clear to me that he's far more intelligent than you are.
in a way its true. because i remember being a kid watching karate kid and after the film. trying out all the moves n stuff.. and it really made me want to learn karate to kick ppls buts.. haha.. thats just an example but its true that films or games can influence kids minds.
i use to play warriors when i was 7 yrs old and now a days im 11 and i still play those kind of games like gta4 fallout 3 and it hasent changed me at all
im 12,i have adhd.i play GTA4 CSS TF2 COD4 L4D GMOD FC2 Crysis and it dousnt affect me alot,it only makes me a little bit violent but not like UBERVIOLENT
oh,well in gta4 i remain calm,in css i get raged when i get lamed u know,in tf2 the same,cod 4 the same,l4d if i get raped in versus coz of noob team,GMOD,not,FC2,same,when i get lamed or sniped,crysis not
porn is what currops kids specially boys,, video games would not influence kids that much other wise we would se thousends of kids with guns and knifes killing,but porn change mind of kids. i would let my kid play video games( when he done his home work ) but i would put internet lock on pornogrophywebsites.
Its all in the parenting. I just don't think its going to make them go out and kill someone. Sure it will influence them somewhat maybe to be the main character but if the child was raised right then they will know better.
Playing games where your constantly killing all the time is good for no one in my opinion.
And i believe it can really mess up a kids head at a young age, especially now video games are getting more and more realistic and most games on the market involve killing.
I played Doom 95 when I was 7 years old, the game really scare me, I played Golden Eye and GTA. I don't feel like I want to kill someone, I couldn't do it. My parents teached me what's good and bad. My character content is based on what my parents have teach me, not on all the Mature games I've played since I'm 6.
I let my lil sister play GTA Vice city when she was six years old, all she did was steal a car and run people over in the game to collect money and she just laughed as she did it but she never once showed to be violent after playing the game or even mentioning of killing anyone as she did in the game. Its like that show "jackass" that used to be on MTV only a complete moron would try to do an insane stunt they witnessed!
the most violent games like GTA or manhunt kids should stay away from, however games like COD are arguably okay if they child (or person) in question has good pasrents ( or guardians)
I disagree, GTA itself isn't all that violent, You cant puncture anyone in the game or show all that much blood, seriously shoot someone in the head in that game and look at them...all that has changed is a bit of blood splattered against the wall and no brains, fallout 3 on the other hand...if you shoot someone in the head you get eyeballs and brains all over the place. It depends on the kid that plays it, we cant assume all children are stupid enough to imitate everything they see.
fallout 3 sure it's violent but don't tell me the whole time u play it ur going, this is some stupid violence, where as the stuff in GTA actually happens in RL so personnally i think children are more likely to be influenced by GTA, plus they have whores
Actually now that you mention whores...my sister would pick them up after I told her they'd get in the car and shed have sex and then kill them afterwards to get her money back. She just found it funny but without me telling her she didn't take the killing or violence out of the game. GTA is realistic to the point that you can get shot down by police for going into a rampage so kids can consider that =P actually, there was a 27 year old that tried to copy cat Niko from GTA IV...lol the idiot xD
Umm the lil sister part or the part of the guy trying to be like Niko? I saw the video and the moron tried to resist the police LMAO! seriously the guy seemed to not have a grip on reality.
hey am 18 years old and i donr like Fall our 3 it not that best graphic and textures so fucking LAME storyline but the GTA 4 is a bad sandbox i do like GTA SA much more better sandfuckingbox so let it be AWESOME or LAME for peoples about games i haveranking system for GTA 4 its 9.8 For me not 10 its SA for 10 not 4 or lost and damned and i do like bIA Brothers in arms so am adult so i do what ever i want with extremly violent fucker games
hey am 18 years old and i dont like that game FallOUT 3 it not that best graphic and textures so fucking LAME DETAILS and the FREAKEN storylin its LAME but the other way the GTA 4 is a BADLY RETARDED sandbox i do like GTA SA much more better then the GTA 4 sandfuckingbox i have ranking system for GTA 4 its 9.8 For me not 10 its SA for 10 not 4 or lost and damned and i do like bIA Brothers in arms so am adult so i do what i ever i want to do with extremly violent fucker games
I think this answer is even a lot better, than answers politics do. And it't true, that games have ratings and parents should control which game their kids play.
its not the video game's fault kids are violent! this sort of thing has a number of factors; the type of friends they have, where they live and the parents that bring them up, I think adults are just as influenced by this as a 13 year old would be..
I just got one thing to say. If you think about killing people because you palyed GTA. there is a problem, Mentaly and your were probably going to attempt to kill peopel anyway...
hmm.. I played all the violent games growing up.. I have yet* to kill someone or an animal for fun. I also have a job and pay my taxes. The other kids I grew up with are crack/meth heads. Guess what? They didn't play many video games.
What about the girl from Japan who killed her father with an axe because she watched higurashi no naku koro ni. That series no doubt on a young child would be very overwhelming.
They're just brain exercises... you have to keep track of Ammo, Where team mates are, where the other team is, think how to take them out, how to flank them, make distractions...
Those of you who say that games don't influence people & give yourselves as an example are ignorant. The world doesn't revolve around you.
I don't believe that violent games influence everyone, but I do believe that it can influence those that are not emotionally stable (dealing with extreme anger &/or depression for example) as well as those who are still in the process of maturing & are therefore more vulnerable to influence such as young children.
Yes, because Im 13 and play Grand THeft auto, im going to murder people at random....and maybe get a hooker. You all should be worried about more stuff than this, like people who are shooting real people and not pixles.
It is true games affect us in many ways, years ago two kiids were playing FF VII and then started thinking they were Sephiroth and started attacking they're school because they thought they were cleansing it for Jenova.
Games are too violent for kids but to buy and play them is both up to the parents and the kids.
My name is Paul and I play "M" Rated games. I am an A/B student and I like to play the piano. So does it influence me to go around and kill people.... Nope.
Violent games that are violent for the sake of violence are usually idiotic and not something people like me would ever touch. Violent games that are violent by nature of its dynamics or to create realism are fine, and can be very interesting, enthralling. Nevertheless, kids who are not able to contextualize the violence should not play/watch any violent game/movie.
People under 18 should not play video games which is rated 18+ . It's the parents resposibility to make sure that they don't. And if kids gets to buy a 18+ in store the store should get a fine that hurts.
the problem is with that most games are only rated m i personally am under 18 but im mature enough to know that its only a game thats all that really matters
I agree with you, just like laws on being a certain age to drive or drink, one must be a certain age to play M rated games (which is 17+ now). Now I don't think this needs to be on ALL video games, but only on the more gory ones that younger kids shouldn't be playing. I agree that it's ultimately the parents decision though.
this is Bob and he plays rated "M" games, he is also a A , B student and enjoys long walks under the sunset. So does it influence him to go around and kill people ....... nope.
i disagree i am a 13 year old honors student and my xbox 360 games consist pretty much of M games but i dont go around town with evil thoughts in my mind on who i want to kill okay. violence has been going on before video games and video games are just used as a scapegoat by news stations so that they have another thing to blame or shut down you know? i think that video games should not be blamed for plain human fault and for ignorance.
i disagree, everyone should stop acting like they know how small children think, because they don't know shit about kids, i myself am 12 years old, and i don't get influenced by violent video games such as grand theft auto and counterstrike, nobody i know gets influenced by them, what i'm really trying to say here is that kids getting influenced by video games is a load of bull shit.
sorry, I tried replying, but im not sure if it posted or not. Let me try a shorter version.
How do you really know how you would act if you never played those games? You only really know how you act now as a result of those games. I may be wrong, however before cussing me out becuase im cause people to think, try considering what i said and really try to see if im right, instead of posting a disagreement because you dont want to lose an argument. That is what a lot of people do now.
well you should have a idea of what you would do i mean if you dont think your mature to know thats what happens in the game is ment to stay in the game then dont play it or atleast thats all i have to do but i would think it depends on how your brought up
I completely agree, I once played Left 4 Dead and a small child joined the game and that was not cool. What parent would get Left 4 Dead for their 8-10 year old child?
Violent games are not going to be a motive for a crime, but they are sometimes the straw that break the camel's back. Someone with a deluded mind is already hatching criminal ideas in his head, video games or not.
Remember the movie The Mask? The mask is like a video game. It doesn't MAKE the person but it pushes the person's expressions and personality further.
Since violent games influent ppl? I live in Brazil, 85% of population lives at big cities. the rest lives at rural places or natives at the coast of the Amazon river. Eventually the brazilians have a highly number of players, which just play the games to do something they can't do in real life. This doesn't means that they ger violent, It depends on which envirioment do you live, " Armony, Peacefully...". When a guy kills someone at US they say " OMG " I would like to say... SCREW USA!!!!
dude the united states is based on the belief of freedom so don't go on about your country being better because of people's different reactions to losing in video games! so how did this video trigger this discussion on racism? PLAIN HUMAN IGNORANCE!!!! no race is better than any other! we are all HUMANS! how is one race any better than any other okay so shut the hell up and stop going on acting like a conceited bitch! and no this anger from playing violent games Susan Bartell!
can a 15 year old play halo 3 thats all i want to know lol i really don't think its that bad but all i want is to buy halo because most of my other games are boring lol seriously
You're right in saying that kids are influenced by anything. The problem in most instances is the lack of parenting. If a kid fails to see the difference between shooting someone in a video game and shooting someone in real life, this is something the parents are resposible for.
School shootings for example are always blamed on music, movies and video games but why doesn't anyone question the lack of parenting and proper raising of these kids in question?
if a kid sees something on tv like a guy getting shot and then feels like he should shoot someone then that kid is not a normal kid. if a kid is feeling those kinds of agressive feelings after watching an R rated movie then that kid should be locked up in a mental hospital.
I think you're right, it's down to the parents using common sense; don't let your kids play those games and don't get them for your kids, and/or make sure they know not to act on those games and that those games are purely fantasy.
Part of what's with teens these days is that they think they have experienced alot in life....12 and 13 year old's think they are adults, but ask them again when they're 22 or 23(when the hormones aren't ruling the mind) and they realize adulthood and life in general is far bigger and harder than they thought.
Parents lives in a whole different world of their own, another generation. They do not know anything about video games.
Almost every single child grows up with gaming, and no, it cannot affect you in ANY way. except your intellegence. and if grand theft auto would tempt a child to kill someone at school. he is either sick(mentally) VERY sick. or he got bullied ALOT. this is the case..mostly.. .. this whole debate is an epic failure. nuff said.
Well, with me at a young age I was at first scared of violent and creepy horror based games until I was about 13yrs of age to actually not mind them at all.
I'm a nerdy / geeky person, I've never been around the so called 'cool' kids at school, there morons anyway. I've never been a physically violent person, I'm more so intellectual based with a smart ass personality.
I choose what to influence me, and I've done well so far. No regrets, just follow your heart.
Yep, I've had every possible media influence in my life that could lead to me being violent, but due to how well I was raised, I wouldn't even hurt a fly...unless its pissing me off lol
i honestly think that violent games do change an individual's personality. I played Counter-Strike and i've changed the way i talk and act. Not necessarily to the point where i kill people in real ife, but i definitely notice that i've use foul language more than b4.
i played Quake at the age of 9 and i was raised properly!

Of course, not every parent cares about raising their kids with a good sense of right and wrong.

So you're saying that if I kill a giant serpentine monster with a highpowered gauss-rifle, I will have the urge to do that in real life? It's the same if I kill a person in real life. I know it's a video game and wouldn't and couldn't do that in real life. I think the only time a child or even adult should play violent video games is if they can distinguish the video game from reality. Which in every person I have seen (except for on the news) Thwy know it is not real. It is just a game.

if twenty million people read of a murder in a newspaper, would those twenty million people then murder another twenty million people? no. if i light a candle, does it tempt me to set the entire world on fire? if i eat a sandwich, does that make me morbidley obeese? in some cases the answer may be yes, but for the most part will be no

I wouldn't have agreed with you 3-4 years back but games are getting pretty crazy, not that I don't enjoy playing them, but like on cod5 at one part one of your fellow soldiers asks if you want to kill a whole bunch of innocent people of all ages, you choose no and they still kill them, Also with cod mw2 the airport scene is pretty graphic and other games just seem a bit overboard and I would have never thought it would be this violent in a video game. I wouldn't let my neices or nephews watch.

Ive played violent games since I was 6 (I'm 16 now), and I don't go around beating up people... I think that video games influence only those called "no-lifers", who spend 8~12 hours a day at the PC. I play COD6, Combat Arms and Prototype a decent 2 hours per day total, and I haven't thought of shooting some guy in real life so far, so I say it's all cool, unless you get addicted to it.

I think that to an extent that video games does not affect the mind set of a general child. TO AN EXTENT, which means that they could be influenced to do stuff but not much bad stuff. I have seen children that following playing World At War they at first, they wanted to be soldiers but after a long steady self-research quarrel, they realized that they needed to think twice about being a soldier. Let the children go out on there own stride and see what happens, get overprotected and it's bad.

I played violent video games like resident evil 2 since i was about 7 and i was a punk and didn't really get into fights until i was 13, which is when i actually stopped playing games for a while.

if some kid goes out and stabs someone its probably not because they kicked a hooker to death on GTA and thought "well that was cool, lets try it in real life!".

I disagree, GTA itself isn't all that violent, You cant puncture anyone in the game or show all that much blood, seriously shoot someone in the head in that game and look at them...all that has changed is a bit of blood splattered against the wall and no brains, fallout 3 on the other hand...if you shoot someone in the head you get eyeballs and brains all over the place. It depends on the kid that plays it, we cant assume all children are stupid enough to imitate everything they see.
Dakirran 2 years ago
well i guess ur rite in terms of violence
but let's approach this in a realistic manner
fallout 3 sure it's violent but don't tell me the whole time u play it ur going, this is some stupid violence, where as the stuff in GTA actually happens in RL so personnally i think children are more likely to be influenced by GTA, plus they have whores
MolotovDaSkwerl 2 years ago
Actually now that you mention whores...my sister would pick them up after I told her they'd get in the car and shed have sex and then kill them afterwards to get her money back. She just found it funny but without me telling her she didn't take the killing or violence out of the game. GTA is realistic to the point that you can get shot down by police for going into a rampage so kids can consider that =P actually, there was a 27 year old that tried to copy cat Niko from GTA IV...lol the idiot xD

Those of you who say that games don't influence people & give yourselves as an example are ignorant. The world doesn't revolve around you.
I don't believe that violent games influence everyone, but I do believe that it can influence those that are not emotionally stable (dealing with extreme anger &/or depression for example) as well as those who are still in the process of maturing & are therefore more vulnerable to influence such as young children.

Violent games that are violent for the sake of violence are usually idiotic and not something people like me would ever touch. Violent games that are violent by nature of its dynamics or to create realism are fine, and can be very interesting, enthralling. Nevertheless, kids who are not able to contextualize the violence should not play/watch any violent game/movie.

You're right in saying that kids are influenced by anything. The problem in most instances is the lack of parenting. If a kid fails to see the difference between shooting someone in a video game and shooting someone in real life, this is something the parents are resposible for.
School shootings for example are always blamed on music, movies and video games but why doesn't anyone question the lack of parenting and proper raising of these kids in question?

Parents lives in a whole different world of their own, another generation. They do not know anything about video games.
Almost every single child grows up with gaming, and no, it cannot affect you in ANY way. except your intellegence. and if grand theft auto would tempt a child to kill someone at school. he is either sick(mentally) VERY sick. or he got bullied ALOT. this is the case..mostly.. .. this whole debate is an epic failure. nuff said.
