"WHO HATES AGE RESTRICTIONS!"

I hate games with age restrictions

it annoying
wot do u think?

nuff said

because you lot suck

Yet Still They Persist.

WHY?

I remember buying GTA for the PS when I was about 13/14. It's rated for 18, and no-one seemed to care how old I was!! This happens all the time with my friends buying games, and even getting into restricted films at a cinema!!
So I don't think many big shops really care, they're happy aslong as the make money, and that's all that matters to them.

My cousin (8/9 at the time) went into a games shop, and asked for a game to reccomend for his N64. The assistant showed him Shadowman, rated 18!! He did buy, got home, played it, got too scared of it his sister was even worse) and then went and took it back!! This is the first and probably only time I will ever hear about this happening! I laughed at him when it happened!!!

I Had Nightmares Over Spiceworld...
Does That Count?

I think that all age restrictions should be recommended ages. It really cheeses me off when I go into a shop like EB(theyr'e very cautios about restrictions) and get told that I am to young. I am 14. Do they think I am going to have nightmares?!? For heaven sakes, cause not!!!!!! Get rid of age limits on games, videos and DVD's, especially porn DVD's.

theres no point in age restrictions because nobody follows them. some parents just buy the game for their children, ignoring what age it is for.

Personally, my mum just says : "if it scares the $h1t out of you it's your own fault"
which works but I do hate age restrictions as when i went out to buy pd i couldn't so i had to go home (2 miles there and 2 miles back)
but i suppose i've NEVER been scared of something past my age restriction, I've jumped in my seat but i've never had nightmares about it
because of the following reasons:
1. as a child my mum/dad/brother would watch horror films with me in the same room (At 6 years old I saw BRAINDEAD)
2. I know it's NOT REAL, most of the stuff is too far-fetched anyway

You Should Have Some Kind Of Consent Form For If Your Parents Don't Care. Mine Are Getting Really Annoyed At Buying 18 Rated Games And DVD's Because The Shops Won't Sell Them To Me.

It's an idea for games, this is the perfect place for it.
