My wife and I find it acceptable, just not around the kids.

They don't care. They know I can tell the difference between a game and real life.

PS3.

Mom thinks GTA is vile and should be banned. Fortunately I don't live with her anymore, so feel free to send me a free copy.

Once I proved I was mature enough to handle the graphic content of this genre, they figured I was responsible enough to get any game I wished.

My wife will read a book while I play and sometimes out of nowhere laugh at something someone said or the radio. Why would my wife care if I'm killing in a game? This question is stacked for kids, not the adult audience that GTAIV is for.

Wife doesn't mind, she enjoys violent games, too

Jacob LaFountaine @ May 6th 2008 6:23PM

When I was a kid, my parents, though very conservative on some things understood that I was a smart enough kid to distinguish reality from fantasy, and they were pretty liberal about the games and movies I was allowed to watch..

alienclays @ May 6th 2008 6:10PM

she dosent care about the violence, but wonders why i'm playing games when i could be spending time with her.

Wife doesn't mind... her favorite game was the Godfather!

John J. ellis @ May 6th 2008 6:12PM

Ps3 ~ And my mom isnt too fond of the violence, but my dads ok with it. XD

Krimtcw @ May 6th 2008 6:12PM

Well since I'm able to tell the difference between a game and reality, they don't care.

My parents actually enjoy playing some videogames, but the violence really turns them off. They don't seem to mind *me* playing violent games though.

My girlfriends fine with all the violence in the games, it's when I rip the sofa arm by slamming the contoller into it that she's not so keen about. Poor sofa arm..

Jack McSmack @ May 6th 2008 6:12PM

She doesn't care one way or the other about the games violence.

The wife hates violence and sex in games and doesn't like it when I play them. I'm lucky though because she works 12 hour shifts on the weekend, so I get a lot of good playtime in anyway. That's my little secret, so let's just keep that between us (oh, and the rest of the internet).

David @ May 6th 2008 6:13PM

PS3, they could care less

Frosty22 @ May 6th 2008 6:13PM

I don't let my wife see it, because if she did then I probably wouldn't get to play it anymore. Yes... my balls were cut off long ago.

ZetaRho62 @ May 6th 2008 6:21PM

She couldn't care less as long as the kids don't see it or play.

gf doesn't really get it, but her brother loves it. At least they can see that it's only a game.

My girlfriend will be blowing stuff up right beside me :)

It's not a concern to them since I'm old enough.

Syroch @ May 6th 2008 6:14PM

It's more that the parental units don't much like video games in general. They don't get their knickers in a twist over the violence, just the games themselves. That said, they'd probably not appreciate the chainsaw gun... >_>

My parents never cared about what games I played. They were the ones that bought me Mortal Kombat when I was in Elementary School. Video games are something they probably wish I would stop playing but they never cared beyond just wishing that.
