Hmm I understand what you mean. At the same time though, if parent's are okay with their child playing that type of game for fun, then they must feel their child is mature enough to handle it. Like I said, it's muuuch easier for a kid to flip on the television or computer and see much much worse things than a character beating people up in a game.

About the female thing, I never thought of that. But again. Thought process : Computer + females = ????. (I'm sure you can figure it out)

I don't think parents know what the kids are playing, they don't watch the screen and see exactly how much blood there is in an FPS or what happens during certain parts of GTA. When the kids who grew up with PS1 and on become parents, it will be better.

They succumb to the "Mommy can I have Call of Duty? All my 5th grade friends have it..." thing.

I have nothing against violent games being made; the industry should consider that adding it does not make their game better or more artistically edgy.

Yeah I can see the whole parent succumbing thing. But that's not the developers fault. The game was appropriately rated and the parents should know better. If that same kid went up to his mother and said "Mommy can we rent this movie, all my friends have seen it?" and the mom looks at it and she can see it's an obviously an extremely violent movie (and rated as such) she will probably use her better judgment and say no (if she feels her child isn't mature enough to view it yet). But it's her fault if she doesn't  look at the games rating.

@Bold Oh I totally agree. I'm not necessarily defending violence because I LOVE it in video games. In fact I would love to see more video games with out all the blood and gore n stuff. I like both types. While I'm VERY eager for The Last of US, I was also really interested when I read the thread yesterday about Miyamoto wanting to make a fps because I knew it wouldn't have blood or gore and would probably be a really fun, charming experience.
