OK OK OK OK..... My parents are asian.... When I showed this to them, and they saw 0:54, they realized "Oh crap" and they don't let me go to friends houses anymore because of fear of me playing M rated games at my friends house. My mom says "I know that you know its fake, but its the mindset. These M rated games make you subconsciously more aggressive. And I don't want you to be like that, I don't want you to act aggressively" My dad also thinks that the game devs are "training kids" to kill people because games are getting more and more realistic. He said "If you just think its a game and its ok, then its even more bad because you want something even more realistic. Then even more realistic, until its real life and you shoot up a school." WTH do i do? I'm 15, get all A's in school (I am asain, mind you), I rarley get in any trouble at school, play 2 different sports.
Obviously, it's the realistic graphics that are getting them, but the realistic graphics are only the appearance of the game, it's the thing that attracts people and they say "Oh! That game looks fun!" but if it was training people to kill others then that game wouldn't even EXIST anymore. And have they ever even SEEN anyone play any of those games you want? It sounds like they've never had experience playing those kinds of games. It has never been proven that these games make people more aggressive. I'm basically an average teen that plays Mortal Kombat! My "aggressiveness" hasn't been noticed by anyone from before I played Mortal Kombat, and after I've played it. Keep in mind, that Mortal Kombat was the reason that the ESRB rating system was even created.
CarGUY2014 I can play batman arkham city or uncharted, but once a game gets an "M" rating, its automatically blocked from their minds. For example. Halo 4 is rated M for blood, violence. Thats IT! Arkham Origins is rated T for Blood, Drug Reference, Language, Mild Suggestive Themes, Violence. Halo 4 has no swearing, no sexual content. And its not the online features my parents are worried about - they know about muting people. I think guns are actually the problem in this case. Halo 4 - Guns, Batman - No Guns
My dad's not comfortable with video games period. I'm nearly 21, old enough to have M games (which I have along with a 360 which I got just days ago). He has no game intrest or experience (or capabilities, trust me). He won't let me play, despite the fact that I have a job I do well at, a car I take care of, I exercise, and (in my opinion) manage my money pretty well. Another problem is that I'm in no position to move out any time soon.
I try to convince my mom but she isn't listening. I'm 15 and I can't even play Persona 3 or 4! I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO GET MY HANDS ON IT! I have my dad to help but if he buys me the game my mom will find out and either take it back or store it away. It's bullcrap. My mom took me to see Jackass: Bad Grandpa but she won't let me play Persona or any M game? WTF?!
This video is on point, parents think they can shield they're kids when they don't even know they kids turn into a bad-ass little mofos when they get into school.
i agree with you on that some games are innapropriate for young teens, my parents are getting used to the fact that i am getting older and let me play more games, i know they wont let me play games like the witcher but as long as im mature about it they will let me play M rated games. thanks bro
Got some nice XXX action going on there. I'm 14 and finally someone understands me. All I want to do is play Cod 4 multiplayer and the only reason I do is so I can be competitive. Also when you get rewarded for getting XP with weapons and perks it makes me feel like it payed off, almost like sports. Cod Black Ops is coming out in about 2 months and I know I'll only get to watch videos of other people playing it, like I'm doing now with Mw 2.
Whenever I try to convince my mom about this, it's like trying to convince a brick wall to get out of your way. I still remember right before Xmas break of my freshmen year 2 of my friends asked me "hey what are gonna get for Christmas lemme guess COD
Even though the games are not real, some children don't have the mental capacity to interpret that. I have seen first hand how a child is influenced by a video game. It changes the way they behave, yet it is not drastic enough to make them want to kill someone... As long as the person is mature enough, its OK to play these kinds of games... -Kyle
man this guy is a genius i could not summmerize a full discussion between parent and child dispute about a video game in under 5 mins let alone take in the over all factors of showing them false and true reality
when I was still underaged my dad knew what was what. he says "well shit, your not doing drugs, drinking, or getting arrested. if these video games keep you and your buddies home, and out of trouble, why the hell wouldn't I let you buy them?"
Very good video, touched on a lot of good points. I have been playing games with violence and gore since I was probably about 5 years old and started playing Doom. It has not affected me in a negative way, I realize that since I can kill monsters and people in games, it does not mean that is how the real world is. My parents had a good way about it with raising me and instilling the difference between reality and virtual reality with my upbringing. So I agree, parents should get involved.
I gotta show this to my neighbor's mom and dad. I think as long as parents or teenagers supervise the younger kids while they play the games, then they can see for themselves what "rated M" really means.
I think that it really depends on the wisdom of the child, and if he/she knows what they do in games aren't to be done in real life (no shit). But I say this because there are some children that will take elements COD or some kind of game and think of it as ok. And this IS all up to the parents, if their child is young, to judge the child's level of wisdom/maturity, what ever you want to call it and then see if the game will distort the child's judgement on reality and decision making.
I watched an eight year old playing Saints Row 2 today and his garbage mother thought it was fine even as he would target pregnant women for his attacks. He especially loved shocking them with a tazer and then stomping them to death.
my mom made sure I was a level headed person growing up knowing what was real and what was not. I knew that shit happened in the real world as well though. Now that i'm an adult going to college I think I turned out pretty well. They were pretty hands off though and my mom was rather clueless, but my dad being a gamer never confronted me up front but watched from afar and made sure I wasn't falling into a stupor or growing up believing the wrong things.
@SSalem1970 It is our duty as parents to protect and guide our children to the right. I agree that we do need to prepare them for cruel life, but there is limits to that too. They really don't need to 'see all that blood and violence' to be more ready for adult life and real life!!! Did your parents prepare you this way??? Surely these kinds of things didn't even exist in your childhood! Mine sure didn't, yet I was ready? Why?
@ ClayThrower Yeah, violent videogames being played at kid's friend's houses is the same thing as getting into drugs at friend's houses. You have GOT to be kidding me.
The biggest problem with this arguement is the constant fact that parents, when talking about M rated games, will bring up the "language" aspect. That hasn't happened to me, though, thank goodness. My biggest problem is: I can't play Halo because of that little "M" in the bottom left corner of the front of the game. I can play games LIKE it though, preferably the it's rated "T", which are MUCH worse than Halo, Avatar for example. What do I do?! o_O
amen just wanted to tell you i showed this to my friends mom and she finally bought him a 360 and some games. the guy was 20 but in college and his mom treated him like he was 8. just sayin thanks man you made a vid that will get parents to be better parents if not let them know that some M games are not evil
You can see a glimpse of blood? I really like the game myself, but there is quite a lot of blood, you don't need to pay attention, along with violent moves (neck breaking, flesh hooking, skull cracking, leg breaking etc).
Its not that im a good person,My parents wont let me play anything that involve killing cause they think I'll end up like that guy who shot alot of kids at that school.
I've been playin violent games since I was 5, so what kind of bad stuff does M rated games make me do? This stuff is actually stress reliefing to honest.
Thanks for your video-I'm Mom to a 7 yr old boy who has been asking to play COD. I had planned on doing exactly what you said-find out about the game, play the game. My son totally called me out by showing me your video-thanks again (for the push)
And if I can't order it online, I talk to my mom and tell her about the pros and cons of the game. When we go out to buy it she acts kinda concerned about it though.
@clamz94 Oh yeah and if a parent is reading this comment and is thinking "Well my son/daughter isn't mature enough to handle that kind of stuff." Well let me ask you something, are you sure he/she isn't? Spend a bit of time with them and see. If they really aren't mature enough to handle it then don't let them play it. And don't regard this as "Just another kid defending video games." Because I'm not, if your kid is one of those ones that has a tantrum every time they don't get what they want.
I completely agree with this video. What I don't get, is how some parents will let their kids/young teens have profiles on sites like myspace or facebook without any supervision at all(even though the system is there for it)and yet they won't let them play videogames rated M (or in worse cases any games at all). What is it coming too, eh? The ONLY way to fix the problem is for parents to get more involved in their children's lives in a POSITIVE way, and not just as 'bosses' or 'rule layers.'
Comparing graphics from 15 years ago to today...today the graphics look way more realistic.......so M rated games from around 2000 could be better than
As a parent of an 11 year old boy, I want to say this: Communication is the key. An unabashed (unembarrassed) open door ability to discuss every topic with guarded sense of age appropriateness is the ONLY way to deal with the hardest topics (which includes the parents' stand on "M" games). There is validity to warding off exposure to M games too early; however, this measure should include news, video, music and the like. Truly involved parents SHOULD be careful about all of these exposures!
Well i have the same problem too. I use to have a bunch of Rated M games. My parents did research on all my games and then took them all away from me, because on the cover of the game it says there's bad language. I got Halo Reach back because the cover doesn't say there's strong language in it, but there is in campaign. Which is the same for Call of Duty. I wasn't gonna bother showing this video to them, but they need to realize that i hear language Like this every day at school.
For the people of this site I ask (respectfully and genuinely): Exactly how DOES a parent go about "viewing" a video game (T or M rating) in its entirety, BEFORE buying for their kids? If the video is true and not all M games are created equal, then give us parents the means by which to make conscience "parenting" choices for our kids! (please and thank you). Having my son tell me about a game isn't a viable way for me to make that decision. Your help is most welcomed on this. Thanks!
Everyone if your allowed to whatch a movie with war say that what's different from a movie and video game.You can also say that there are making fewer and fewer people making rated t games and the few there is sucks
A.A.P. (American Academy of Pediatrics) did a recent study of this subject. I'll quote them here: "Exposure to violence in media, including television, movies, music, and video games, represents a significant risk to the health of children and adolescents. Extensive research evidence indicates that media violence can contribute to aggressive behavior, desensitization to violence, nightmares, and fear of being harmed. "
the only problem is if i show that they sense despritness and just say no and i get grounded for weeks because of stuff like this help me please please im crying still
These 2 kids played doom for so long they actually started to think it was real and then they got doom costumes and killed a load of children and teachers at school
I'm glad my parents don't really care that I play M rated games. They know that I understand the difference, and they also know its just a game, and I have fun playing it.
my parents didnt have a problem with me playin violent video games even the m rated ones hell my dad let me play quake when iwas 6 and he didnt have a problem he saw that i like the game
ive been allowed to play t rated games since i was 4, but now that im 13 3/4 i cant play M rated games. the only reason why i have codmw2 is because my dad said it was the type of game he would like to play
Since I played video games I've stopped being violent. And now I know to mind my words. And I was motivated enough to score almost straight A's for my exams. I am like an Asian Yoda now.
im a kid and i play m my parents say : you never now what may happen and real life... so go ahead play the game" lol well not excactly. VIDEO GAMES FTW
i totally agree with you.. i mean im 13 and my parents used to let me play m games all the time.. until one time my mom was cleaning my room and GTA 4 and realized it was violent.. now they won't let me play shit >.< except rated m or under. or for example if its rated T and has like a soldier on the front or has to do with war or killing she won't let me get it... unless i persuade her really good. and also she looks on the back.. they never used to do that
i say that if you know your kid is MATURE enough to play the game then let em, but i agree with you alot. and i have a question: does anybody know if you get id'd for buying m games at futureshop? i know superstore doesn't
My brother is ten and never shuts up about M games. Everyone has to wait, it's not that big of a deal. The games will still be there when you get older.
Hi I am a 13 year old boy and I can't play M rated games YET. And I agree with what your saying 100 percent. But what about the language in those games? Because this area is my dads biggest concern.
i have an brother 11 years older then me who always used to get me gta and all those games when i was a little kid so even before when my mom and dad didnt support it my brother used to sneak his or buy it in secret m rated games when i was 6 and older for me thats how good he was and im almost 19 now thinking back on it was not all that healthy but id still let my kids play them maybe just limit how many them buy and educate them before its a game
I had my first M rated game as a 7 year old, but some games my parents immediately say no to. I showed my mom Borderlands and she immediately said no due to the guy on the cover making a gun with his fingers an putting it up to his head. She also won't let me play grand theft auto because all she's ever seen of it is beating up prostitutes and cussing. She doesn't understand that games hold a more beautiful and poetic meaning under all these things.
It just depends if your mature enough. It's not really base on what's in it. It just depends if you can handle it. Some people will that it's gross. Some will go crazy and excited when they kill someone. If your kid is crazy or easily freaked, don't get him or her an M game.
I am 15 years old and I’m not allowed to play rated M games My mom is over protective and she thinks that violent games will turn me into a violent person even though I’ve been playing Gta for 2 years and I haven’t turned violent.
1:48 is the reason I believe that experimenting with recreational drugs is a good think, it opens your mind, but games only cause problems if the parents don't let the kid know there is a difference in reality, and video games, They aren't themselves harmful.
i showed my mom this and she still said no 2 mature rated games just because it says M17+ and she NEVER looks at the back. my dad thinks he'll get in trouble or he doesnt have the time or if its a gift i can hav it. i only hav 2 games that r M rated and they r very old. y do i get the worst life
OK OK OK OK.....
My parents are asian....
When I showed this to them, and they saw 0:54, they realized "Oh crap" and they don't let me go to friends houses anymore because of fear of me playing M rated games at my friends house.

***** Already tried that and she said "I don't want to take any bad chances." (cuz apparently it could ruin my life) lol
OldManJeinkinz batman has the stun gun
What does you being Asian hav to do with anything?
parents who stop their kids playing games are just control freaks
My dad's not comfortable with video games period. I'm nearly 21, old enough to have M games (which I have along with a 360 which I got just days ago). He has no game intrest or experience (or capabilities, trust me). He won't let me play, despite the fact that I have a job I do well at, a car I take care of, I exercise, and (in my opinion) manage my money pretty well.

peace to this man
I'm too embarrassed to even ask my parents
im done with roblox! lol
Same bro
Gabe Frost just do it your parents might say yes
Gabe Frost my dad will always say no.
Whenever my parents c m on a game they just reject it but if the same thing had t on it they would let me play it it's just bull crap
u u same fuck my parents
My parents don't even look on the bak of the game to see what it's rated for. If it's rated M they're like "Nope"
And I want skyrim so bad because I like dragons and other things like that
I try to convince my mom but she isn't listening. I'm 15 and I can't even play Persona 3 or 4! I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO GET MY HANDS ON IT! I have my dad to help but if he buys me the game my mom will find out and either take it back or store it away. It's bullcrap. My mom took me to see Jackass: Bad Grandpa but she won't let me play Persona or any M game? WTF?!
Lotte Yanson I KNOW!!!!!!
This video is on point, parents think they can shield they're kids when they don't even know they kids turn into a bad-ass little mofos when they get into school.
i agree with you on that some games are innapropriate for young teens, my parents are getting used to the fact that i am getting older and let me play more games, i know they wont let me play games like the
witcher but as long as im mature about it they will let me play M rated games.
thanks bro
its just pixels shooting at other pixels

Got some nice XXX action going on there. I'm 14 and finally someone understands me. All I want to do is play Cod 4 multiplayer and the only reason I do is so I can be competitive. Also when you get rewarded for getting XP with weapons and perks it makes me feel like it payed off, almost like sports. Cod Black Ops is coming out in about 2 months and I know I'll only get to watch videos of other people playing it, like I'm doing now with Mw 2.
I remember when my dad just said "... NO" after seeing a barely accurate commercial for whatever game it was.
Whenever I ask my dad if I can get a game, he always asks, is it rated m, if it is, then he always answers no. :(
Whenever I try to convince my mom about this, it's like trying to convince a brick wall to get out of your way. I still remember right before Xmas break of my freshmen year 2 of my friends asked me "hey what are gonna get for Christmas lemme guess COD

So I agree, parents should get involved.
I gotta show this to my neighbor's mom and dad. I think as long as parents or teenagers supervise the younger kids while they play the games, then they can see for themselves what "rated M" really means.
i believe it is Adults Only. it contains REAL gambling with REAL money OR strong, graphic sexual content, or EXTREME gore
I think that it really depends on the wisdom of the child, and if he/she knows what they do in games aren't to be done in real life (no shit).

saints row 3 is one of the games that really does need a M rating. Hell it almost needs a A rating with the stuff in it
I agree,except with that some kids shouldn't play games,it depends on a kids maturity,not age.
You are my hero, definitely showing my parents this if they ever say no to a video game again..
@ ClayThrower
Yeah, violent videogames being played at kid's friend's houses is the same thing as getting into drugs at friend's houses. You have GOT to be kidding me.

THANK YOU! Im getting Black ops III and Watch_Dogs 2!! :D
Congrats man :D
its really funny cause im 15 and a half and my parents still wont let me play m-rated game
amen just wanted to tell you i showed this to my friends mom and she finally bought him a 360 and some games. the guy was 20 but in college and his mom treated him like he was 8. just sayin thanks man you made a vid that will get parents to be better parents if not let them know that some M games are not evil
thats not a double standard; its a standard
If my parents saw this they would be even more strict about m rated games
You can see a glimpse of blood? I really like the game myself, but there is quite a lot of blood, you don't need to pay attention, along with violent moves (neck breaking, flesh hooking, skull cracking, leg breaking etc).
What's really stupid is that I can watch sharks ripping people apart and im not aloud to play games like cod or battlefield
My dad lets me play wat ever i want but my mom is to protective of me
my dad did let me ply any games i wanted too, then mom took over his nrain or something
play*
Me too
OMGGG SAMEEEE
Brain*, not nrain :D
Its not that im a good person,My parents wont let me play anything that involve killing cause they think I'll end up like that guy who shot alot of kids at that school.
I've been playin violent games since I was 5, so what kind of bad stuff does M rated games make me do? This stuff is actually stress reliefing to honest.

The 64 people that disliked this video are strict parents that are not letting you play an m rated game
when I was 7 the first game I got was mortal kombat 2 they saw the fatalities and they thought it was cool cause they know the game is not real.
Life is pretty much rated AO in very best the graphics
And if I can't order it online, I talk to my mom and tell her about the pros and cons of the game. When we go out to buy it she acts kinda concerned about it though.
@clamz94 Oh yeah and if a parent is reading this comment and is thinking "Well my son/daughter isn't mature enough to handle that kind of stuff."

Man I agree my step family thinks my mom is dumb for letting me play rated M games but im not stupid I understand right from wrong
633 people showed this to there moms or dads and agreed with him thnx man you helped me a lot
I completely agree with this video.
What I don't get, is how some parents will let their kids/young teens have profiles on sites like myspace or facebook without any supervision at all(even though the system is there for it)and yet they won't let them play videogames rated M (or in worse cases any games at all).

I want to play tf2 but my parents are making me wait until I’m at least 14
I hate when you want a violent game and your parents say no
I just finished Assassins Creed 2 today. When are you gonna do a video on it? I wanna see how you did.
I usually buy games online. I go to CVS or something like that and get a "gift" credit card. Then I order it from WalMart or something like that.
My parents let me watch rated m movies but they don't let me play rated m games
@animalstuffedplanet I fuckin luv bioshock btw "would you kindly" tell me the exact date bioshock infinite comes out?
I agree with you.
If a parent does not want their kid to play M rated games, they should not even turn on the TV to watch the news.
As a parent of an 11 year old boy, I want to say this: Communication is the key. An unabashed (unembarrassed) open door ability to discuss every topic with guarded sense of age appropriateness is the ONLY way to deal with the hardest topics (which includes the parents' stand on "M" games).

the only problem is if i show that they sense despritness and just say no and i get grounded for weeks because of stuff like this help me please please im crying still
My parents just laugh and act like im a dumbass when i try to convince them
thats exactly what my dad says but my mom just doesnt understand. Of course my dads been through war though. lol
These 2 kids played doom for so long they actually started to think it was real and then they got doom costumes and killed a load of children and teachers at school
My parents won't even watch the video. They say "Show me this video and you will be grounded".
I showed this to a friend that isn't allowed to play and I'm sure it will open his moms eyes
If teacher let us watch and learn about war, then why are parents always against battlefield and call of duty?
A.L.Z. AWESOMENESS because it’s too “violent” and has “bad language”
Marcus Pheonix on M - rated games. Good presentation and very professionally done.
I'm 12 and I can't play COD :(
Guys I'm almost 15 now I can play COD :)
Brad Post lol
I'm 12 too and can't play cod either
I'm 10 and my parents are still deciding which Cods are better for younger audience's.
Brad Post same:( I’m 14 and can’t
im crying because my dad exactly said no its M without even looking at it
@bodyoderful Just in case your parents don't know, Black Ops can be filtered. They beep out all the language.
The 60 dislikes are video game hating parents
I'm glad my parents don't really care that I play M rated games. They know that I understand the difference, and they also know its just a game, and I have fun playing it.
my parents didnt have a problem with me playin violent video games even the m rated ones hell my dad let me play quake when iwas 6 and he didnt have a problem he saw that i like the game
ive been allowed to play t rated games since i was 4, but now that im 13 3/4 i cant play M rated games. the only reason why i have codmw2 is because my dad said it was the type of game he would like to play
Since I played video games I've stopped being violent. And now I know to mind my words. And I was motivated enough to score almost straight A's for my exams. I am like an Asian Yoda now.
im a kid and i play m my parents say : you never now what may happen and real life... so go ahead play the game" lol well not excactly. VIDEO GAMES FTW
This was great man thanks and I hope it'll help me get reach. It's sad cuz I'm already fifteen and I have hours of gameplay but my mo
i totally agree with you.. i mean im 13 and my parents used to let me play m games all the time.. until one time my mom was cleaning my room and GTA 4 and realized it was violent.. now they won't let me play shit >.< except rated m or under. or for example if its rated T and has like a soldier on the front or has to do with war or killing she won't let me get it... unless i persuade her really good. and also she looks on the back.. they never used to do that
Thank you DiGiTiLsOuL you really helped my parents understand its just a video game and not the real world
i say that if you know your kid is MATURE enough to play the game then let em, but i agree with you alot.
and i have a question: does anybody know if you get id'd for buying m games at futureshop? i know superstore doesn't
My brother is ten and never shuts up about M games. Everyone has to wait, it's not that big of a deal. The games will still be there when you get older.
i can play COD but my mum puts a time limit for like 2 hours on a weekend and 1 on a school day.i think its unfair,im not gonna be a kid for ever
Hi I am a 13 year old boy and I can't play M rated games YET. And I agree with what your saying 100 percent. But what about the language in those games? Because this area is my dads biggest concern.
i have an brother 11 years older then me who always used to get me gta and all those games when i was a little kid so even before when my mom and dad didnt support it my brother used to sneak his or buy it in secret m rated games when i was 6 and older for me thats how good he was and im almost 19 now thinking back on it was not all that healthy but id still let my kids play them maybe just limit how many them buy and educate them before its a game
My Mom still won't let me play MW2... Please make a video about that!
I had my first M rated game as a 7 year old, but some games my parents immediately say no to. I showed my mom Borderlands and she immediately said no due to the guy on the cover making a gun with his fingers an putting it up to his head. She also won't let me play grand theft auto because all she's ever seen of it is beating up prostitutes and cussing. She doesn't understand that games hold a more beautiful and poetic meaning under all these things.
It just depends if your mature enough. It's not really base on what's in it. It just depends if you can handle it. Some people will that it's gross. Some will go crazy and excited when they kill someone. If your kid is crazy or easily freaked, don't get him or her an M game.
please, im 15 and i still can't play teen rated games with guns.
Random Whiterun Guard dang
I am 15 years old and I’m not allowed to play rated M games
My mom is over protective and she thinks that violent games will turn me into a violent person even though I’ve been playing Gta for 2 years and I haven’t turned violent.
1:48 is the reason I believe that experimenting with recreational drugs is a good think, it opens your mind, but games only cause problems if the parents don't let the kid know there is a difference in reality, and video games, They aren't themselves harmful.
I hear that the reason Call of Duty: World at War was made M-rating just to show the real horror and sadistic violence in World War 2.
i showed my mom this and she still said no 2 mature rated games just because it says M17+ and she NEVER looks at the back. my dad thinks he'll get in trouble or he doesnt have the time or if its a gift i can hav it. i only hav 2 games that r M rated and they r very old. y do i get the worst life
ive never seen a A-rated game before were can i buy one
I showed this to my parents and they still say no. I dont wnat to wait a nother 6 yrs.
