eh once cashier asked id when buying hl2. but i went to another cashier who didn't ask

Not much. But I do once remember a incident where I was a supermarket and they were selling a copy of Sonic Adventure DX for the PC. I wanted to buy it, but my mom thought it looked very childish and declined. I'm pretty sure I was like 6 at the time.

Honestly, PROBABLY for the best.

My mom let me buy GTA 5 on release day when I was 13 :D

One time me and my dad were at toys r us and buying manhunt or gta vice city (can’t remember which) and he tried to tell my dad “umm this game has lots of violence and crime and stuff like that I don’t think it’s appropriate for kids” and my dad just said “yeah whatever we know” and we went home. I was maybe five years old.

I never had that issue, but I remember getting my first Marilyn Manson album in like 95, and the clerk was like "THEY BE SATANIC OH LAWDY LAWD THEY'S NAMED AFTAH DA SERIAL KILLAZ MY STARS!"
My mom still bought it for me, though.
>>
>>736294825
my mom never cared. games in a brick and mortar store are hardly ever sexual and we're american, so violence good, sex bad. i was already an adult when gta5 came out though, where does the time go.
>>
When I was 16 I wanted to get Persona Q because I was a fledgling SMT fan who started with P3P and just finished Golden. The Gamestop guy wouldn't sell it to me though because I was too young.
It ended up working out though, because I managed to find somebody selling the special edition on eBay for $40.

Mom was convinced by the cash register drone that Mass Effect 2 was a sex simulator so I had to buy it off an older sibling's friend instead.

>>
Lol No. I was allowed to play pretty much any game I wanted. GTAIII and a PS2 for Christmas was legit.
>>
>>736294825
I don't believe so. My parents kind of didn't care. My dad was distant and worked a lot, my mom was very permissive (though we were generally decent kids). If we could AFFORD it, then we could get any game we wanted. I was playing M rated games as a 10-12 year old, but I myself was actually not a huge fan of gore. I didn't like Mortal Kombat 4 because of the fatalities, so my parents didn't have to prevent me from playing it. Also, my brother is 5 years older than me, so he was already getting to the age where he was able to play those games.

>>736294825
All the time. My mother hated the idea of me having any kind of fun, after school was farm chores she didn't want to do despite choosing to buy a farm and a bunch of animals for it, weekends were literal 9-5s where I'd be kicked out of the house to go clear fields "stick picking" she called it. The only reason I got to game at all were the very rare moments of weakness she had, other family members buying me games and the cd burning ring we had at school. Gaining the independence to use my leisure time and actually having leisure time however the fuck I wanted was a pretty heady experience.

Similar thing happened to me. I remember I was at Toys R Us with my dad and we were going to get Dead Rising 2 on the 360 for my birthday. The old lady unlocking the glass case turned to my dad and said something like "You know this is an Adult game, right?". My dad said "Yeah, it's for me". So weird

I have a Doom 3 related post myself in that my dad rented it for me when I was like 7, like he just brought it home and told me about Doom being a cool older game. I needed the cheat codes to even stand a chance at playing it but I ended up getting heavily into classic Doom wads on PC by the time I was barely 10 because of it. Dads are cool.

I don't like Doom 3 as much as I used to but its still absolutely one of my guilty pleasures.
Playing it that night after getting home from the mall was a kino gaming experience. I remember catching up with my mom at the mall after buying it and she was just like that's nice anon.
I remember when I'd play it I'd always close the door to the playroom. I thought the gore and demonic shit would have made my parents flip out

I never tried to buy anything before I was old enough. Any games or movies that I was too young for, my parents would either watch over my shoulder or play it themselves for a bit first. I was reading shit like Flowers in the Attic when I was 9 though, so they never said no to anything anyway.
Dad did tell me off once when I was killing marines for no reason in Halo:CE though.

Not that anon, but I currently work with a guy who used to work at gamestop. I told him that when I was 17 he denied me from buying MGSV because I didn't have an ID and he said they can actually be fired for selling an M rated game to someone without IDing them and his boss was probably somewhere within earshot that day.

At Gamestop once, many years ago when they still sold PS2 games, I saw a kid with his mom go up to the register to buy Black. His mom asked the cashier if you killed people in it, and he said yes, then the mom turned to the kid and went "You told me it was aliens!" and she dragged him out without buying it. Good try, kid.

My dad was fanatical about blocking me from any media where a woman had any role beyond being silently in the background as a prop. I was relatively on the smaller side so I couldn’t really get M rated games from GameStop without getting stopped, so I had to use him as a proxy to get a few games. Halo 2, Legacy of Kane, no problem. I remember trying to get Dead or Alive 4 and he started shit talking me in public, much to the obvious discomfort of the partially obese GameStop worker.

Nah. I still remember my dad looking at the back cover of Fallout 2, shrugging, and buying it for me anyway despite the mention of pimping out your wife. I think I just grew up alongside games as they became more realistic and adult oriented, like I was 14 when GTA III released, so I never had to deal with the Jack Thompson scare (there are /v/irgins posting rn who don't even know who or what this is, fuuuckkk)

Went to Walmart to get the GTA xbox collection and Manhunt, Walmart worker started telling my dad (unprompted)!all about Manhunt and why nobody should be buying it for their kid. Dad made me put it back, but the worker didn’t say a single thing about GTA so I got that at least. I wanted to argue how stupid the logic was but that would involve detailing what was in GTA and the result would be me getting no games so I stayed quiet. idr how old I was but in my teens at this point so I was more pissed with my dad not respecting me than I was with the walmart employee.

Couple years later, same Walmart, I was 16 so I could drive myself there but not old enough to buy Dead Rising so I asked a random guy in electronics if he’d get it for me if I gave him the cash and then meet me outside and he did; cool guy.

My parents were reasonably lax about age ratings, they decided I was a sensible kid and they let me play games from the next bracket up a few years early. I remember I was allowed to play 15+ games from at least around 12 years old (which being in Bongland meant quite a few games that are rated Mature in the US, at the time vidya age ratings were done by the same body as films and they were surprisingly lenient - the first Mass Effect was rated 12 for example). They were fairly strict with 18+ games however, I wasn't allowed any of those until I think I was most of the way to my 17th birthday.

I think they were right to handle it how they did, those age ratings do exist for a reason and seeing all those kids being given shit like GTA V when they're ten years old developing into retarded degenerate wrecks has only reinforced that opinion. In the unlikely event that I ever have children of my own I'm going to play it the same way.

I literally got denied from buying Halo 3 or ODST because I didn't have my wallet and ID even though I was 18 at the time. I was biking around the city with some cash (like 10-20 dollars) and on a whim went to the game store and saw that the games were on sale for like 5-10 dollars. (this was like many years after they released).
I saw the games, took them, went to the cashier, was basically about to finalize the purchase until the very last second the guy wanted to see my ID. Then I got denied from buying it because no ID.

I told her that wasn't her job, Manga wasn't restricted in sales like movies or video games. She didn't reply and eventually the store went out of business, so who knows if she moral fagged manga

I'd do this if the game the little brat was buying had online.
Anything to keep more obnoxious retarded squeakers out of multiplayer games.

M rated games sell better. it's the opposite of movies where PG-13 is the moneymaker.

Games that expect you to drive to the point on the map for 50 hours are enormously boring wastes of time, yes. They condition you to be stupid, and not really understand what good video games are.
If you want non-linearity and freedom, play Deus Ex or Hitman.

See, you don't get what I'm saying here, because you grew up on GTA.

Mom should've replied with "Yeah, I know, I'm buying the game for myself to play you retarded cocksucker"
The clerk would've never commented on people's purchases ever again
What a missed opportunity

You have never played a real video game. You're basically illiterate. There's not much point in me talking to you about this.

no, I played Mortal Kombat when I was 7 with dad

I accept that growing up on GTA makes you appreciate slop games over good games.

Play a real driving game.

I used to buy all my vidya at Toys R Us back when they actually had vidya sections but at one point some new jackass started working there that actually bothered to ID'd kids trying to buy M rated games and it was annoying as fuck. He was the only wagie there that did that, no one else gave a shit. Eventually I just stopped going there because it was easier to wrangle my mom into taking me to fucking Gamestop than it was to take me to Toys R Us (I would bike there but she wouldn't drive me there)

>>736294825
Nah the closest I've been to that was when I was like 12, I asked my dad to buy me Skyrim and the cashier mentioned the M rating but dad didn't really care.
