I'm so frustrated

02-06-2003, 09:56 PM

I'm ready to buy GTA: Vice City, and my parents are all good with it until they actually see that I want to get it. Before I guess they didn't believe me or something. Now they say no. I been saving up for a long time too. I mean I am young, but every single person at school has it just about and talk about how good it is and all I can do is stand there saying, wish I had that game.

02-06-2003, 10:24 PM

If you're not 17 then they have every right to keep the game out of your hands.

02-06-2003, 10:28 PM

^ Exactly.

So I guess I can call you a heretic.

Try the method of annoying your parents into it. They can't hold out for too long.

02-07-2003, 06:55 AM

cool I'll try it.

Besides my parents let me watch every rated R movie there is out there..

You could always ask a nice old man to stand with you at the checkout while you buy it for yourself.

02-07-2003, 06:15 PM

^ hahahaha, wait a second, that's a good idea! *Runs to the store quickly*

02-07-2003, 06:16 PM

Yes that would also work.

My mom bought it for me for Christmas, and im 15. It just depends on the parents.

02-09-2003, 04:30 PM

I just ordered it online back in October.

02-10-2003, 07:30 PM

^ Yes, but ordering it online requires a CREDIT CARD, leading us ever back to the inevitable result, parents...

02-10-2003, 08:00 PM

It was the easiest way to get it when it came out. Now it is easier. But get some guy to stand next to you while you buy it or something. Or ask the parent of a friend.

02-10-2003, 11:47 PM

I went to the store and bought it and my dad paid for it. He doesn't give a ****.

02-11-2003, 09:19 AM

Yeah, I just gave my mom a few bonez and she lent me the credit card. Initially the plan was for me, to order it for her, to give to me on Christmas, but I decided to pay for it and keep it as soon as it came.

02-11-2003, 09:27 AM

My dad likes that game, thinks it's fun.

Anyway, how old are you?

02-11-2003, 03:29 PM

I'm 17... 16 at the time, though.

I'm 13 and I play that game. And I don't do all that crap all those MAVAV-like organisations (I know MAVAV was a fraud) said I would do. I'm one of the millions of people out there that disproves them by merely existing.

I'm 12, and Dad says I might get it when I'm 13 or older.

Pokevulpix · 02-16-2003, 09:18 AM

I'm 13, I got it, and now one of my mom's old friends thinks its too violent and is on a campaign to get it away from me.

02-16-2003, 10:29 PM

^ Same thing happened to me!!! But, now that I am the big 14, I am allowed to play it. It wasn't the random blood/shooting peoples heads off that got to my mom, it was the hookers/strippers. But, I convinced her into it.
