GoW2 Age Limited - No Longer Exists

I shouldnt be playing GoW as am a few months short of 18

but today i have played with 11 and 13 year olds that have been sending very abusive messagesto me

how on earth does an 11 year old get a game like GoW2 without someone thinking they shouldnt have it?

Re: GoW2 Age Limited - No Longer Exists

Kop only uses bad language when he gets killed.....Oh I see what you mean...all the time

My 12 year old nephew got a 360 for Crimbo last year, when we went round for the Boxing day each as much Turkey as you can event, there he was playing GOW Now i know kids seem to grow up quicker these days, Who is to blame for that....us or them...I went straight to the machine and took the disc out, he kicked off abit at first but after a friendly Uncle chat he saw my point of view(he is quite sensible for 12), and understood what i was trying to protect him from

His Mum was cool with it coz she didnt realise, i gave him some of my more 12 year old friendly games.......he gave me his GOW disc which was quite handy as mine had been wrecked by a combination of my 3 year old daughter and our labrador puppy

Concerned Uncle duties completed, happy nephew, new GOW disc for me....Job done, i think you'll agree

Re: GoW2 Age Limited - No Longer Exists

Regarding the original point of the thread, it's stupid how many parents let what are obviously immature kids play this game. I have no issues with parents making a judgement call to let children play Gears if they're mature enough but I seriously doubt any of the shreiking children you come across fit within that category.

Re: GoW2 Age Limited - No Longer Exists

I remember playing Doom64 when I was 11. It scared the **** out of me so much that I couldn't get past the first level, coupled with my crapness obviously.

I can't see how an 11year old can whip me at GoW2, but they do. I know a family who have a 4/5year old that played Halo1/2 and now has a 360 and plays god-knows-what.

Re: GoW2 Age Limited - No Longer Exists

its fair enough a 4/5 year old having a 360 but the games they may have are crazy - they should have a wii

my first console was PS1 but i barely played that due to not being allowed to loads and mostly watching cartoon network when it was on satelitte - ahh the good old days how i miss cartoon network

i remember max payne when i was younger - that was a strange game

Re: GoW2 Age Limited - No Longer Exists

My first game I really played was the PS2 remake of SpyHunter, not including the obligatory Pokemon which everyone my age played to death.
I quickly moved onto the first Timesplitters, which was a fantastic game. After that is was downhill for me. But of course these games were all much more cartoony than GoW which although to us is humerously over-done is of course very graphic in it's exploding corpses and human shields spraying blood .

it really is
welcome to AVF by the way

@ matt the more fun cartoony games were "XIII" (13) but spyhunter was brilliant and so was timesplitters - though i never owned a PS2

i think my first 18 game was GoW1
