8 Reasons Not to Buy GTA IV for your child
MaximusPaynicus | 4:59 PM on 05.01.2008 15 comments




Hmm. I didn't even have to go into the actual game.

You can read my full explanation HERE (shameless plug), but I'll summarize: Look at the box. If the game you want to buy your kids is named after a felony, and brandishes at least four firearms -- you may want to look elsewhere for your ten year-old.

I just hate how so many lazy ass parents who have been trained on child rearing from talk shows an Dr. Phil are too stupid to use their fucking brains.

They forgot the M for Mature tag at the bottom and the fact that hot coffe was all tv for like 7 months.

So there's nothing wrong with driving the motorbike. That's good. I'm glad I'm not a kid... and I'm glad I don't have kids. I don't want to deal with them wanting to play this, hahaha.

Comments policy

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

 about me

This is where we're supposed to have a profile, I assume. Well, here goes: My name is Jim. I'm 20. I live in Michigan. I'm a former MP in the US Army. I write, and own, Binge Gamer. It's a website. On the internet. A novel idea, to be sure.

Oh, and I suck at writing about myself.
