Name that game your parents forbade you from having growing up.
Name that game your parents forbade you from having growing up
None, because I bought games with my own money.
....it was kinda weird buying GTA Vice City Stories when I was only 14; the clerk didn't question it at all even though the game was M rated.
I bought a copy of The Last Story and the girl on the cover had big breasts so my Mom took it away. I didn't get it back and when I went to buy a new copy the ebay seller eventually ghosted me after I said I'd wait for shipping from Japan to resume
Diablo 2 when it first came out. I was with my mom at some electronics store and they had it on display, I begged and I begged her the entire time we were there until she yelled her head off at me in the store. She said she actually was gonna buy it for me on the way out but then decided not to because I was being an annoying little shit lol.
all of them, we were poor
Never had a game my parents wouldn't let me play.
When I was in elementary school my parents bought me have Saints Row: The Third.
When we went to Gamestop to get it the guy at the counter was talking to me and was like "oh is this for you?" and I was like "yeah" and he said something like "i wouldn't let my kid play saints row" but in like a teasing joking way
Great day. I played it all day lol.
jarvis, remove "have" from the second line of the post
;-;
Parents never cared to look at the games they bought me/ I bought for myself, all that they cared for was me doing well in school
Same, bro
Calling ICE, I spotted the latino
be around 12yo
playing The Simpsons: Road Rage on Gamecube
mom is in the next room
I pick up Abe Simpson
Take me to Grandmas World, I'm Horny.mp3
she barges in and takes the game away from me
never allowed to play it again
Doesn't even make sense
My parents were leery about Mortal Kombat but gave in eventually. I think they were more upset their "little boy was gone" than thinking the game would make me violent.
I did know some other parents who thought Diablo & Doom promoted satanism, even though in those games you kill demons.
In the modern world the only game I'd ban my kid from is Roblox cause they're literal groomers lurking in it.
my parents were extremely autistic about video games
they didn't want me to purchase gta because it was ""violent"" yet let me play wolfenstein, doom, quake, serious sam and other games where there's plenty of things to kill in different ways
cont. my mum actually completed wolfenstein and my father dabbled into vidya too, he brought me pirated games from his job
it was the times when having a "family pc" was popular
My mom wanted to return the copy of Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition for Genesis that I was given as a gift.
I successfully argued it'd be rude, my friend who gifted it would expect to play it with me.
The only other thing my mom shut me out of was reading Johji Manabe's Drakuun, when the clerk at my LCS mentioned the latest issue had a relatively explicit love scene.
She was unaware I already had an arc of Gunsmith Cats with a lesbian mafia boss surrounded by drugged teenage girl sex slaves intent on adding Rally to her harem.
Gunsmith Cats fucking rules.
It is better than having access to none of those.
in retrospect they were shit games (sorry boomers, but they are pretty mid) so nothing would have changed if couldn't play them at that time
I guess there are many stories like this related to games like manhunt
That's exactly it, yeah.
In Wolfenstein you kill Nazis (and robots and zombies and shit)
In Doom you kill demons.
In Quake and Serious Sam you kill monsters.
In GTA you kill normal humans, including any civilians you want, in a realistic city.
Same deal for Manhunt, a game focused on murder in a fairly unique and gruesome way (or at least advertised like that).
When i was young I wanted an xbox with halo 1, but it was rated M so my ma said no.
I got a ps2 with jurassic park operation genesis instead. 0 regrets.
I got halo 2 with the 360 later and became a big halo nerd anyways.
I was never explicitly banned from playing any game. My cousins would talk about how awesome Quake was so I was allowed to play them too. The only thing that comes to mind was playing Turok on N64 once and my mom gave some commentary she doesn't like me playing gun games. lol
Star Wars Battlefront II
blew my mind when I saw it on youtube back in 2011
then got it on steam a couple years later and it's just such a fun game, got like 80 hours in it
all of them. My mother thought it would hurt my grades. Very occasionally I would be given a game that either had some form of decent values or educational edge to it. Dune 2000 was the first video game I owned I think. The electronics store cashier said it featured building a base and tactical insight without mentioning that it was violent.
Thanks homie.
Ask my elder brother
Ouch, that's even worse than being denied a certain game
Goldeneye
Ocarina of Time. It wasn't a content thing, it was a money thing. We very rarely got new games when I was growing up and it was usually bargain bin stuff. At least until we got a PS1 and my older brother chipped it so we could just burn a copy of any game we borrowed or rented.
Conker's Bad Fur Day, once my Mom saw what I was doing in-game she took it away for years.
postal
None, until
early 2000s
had vice city, zillion mature games
little bro gets san andreas
playing like normal killing cops whatever
mom walks up the stairs
radio is playing something like NIGGA NIGGA NIGGA NIGGA FUCK NIGGA FUCK
returns the game
later that week Hot Coffee controversy puts us in bigger shit
Wasn't allowed to buy Cubivore.
This is a shame because the game is pretty cool. But my dad ended up grabbing Custom Robo instead and that game rocked so it worked out.
ask for Turok 3 for Christmas
Sorry but Santa decided to give you Star Fox 64 instead
Mom caught me playing flash porn games
I remember playing Halo CE at home one time, my dad had bought it for me and mom didn’t know shit about video games so she had no idea what Halo was. It wasn’t the violence but the fact the marines cursed that got it banned in the house. I wasn’t allowed to play a “mature” game till I was 16 (though I absolutely still did)
parents would forbid me to play 18+ games but had no idea about the crazy porn and gore i saw on the internet. so who really won that day?
Based Santa
Hope you had a PC with internet so you could play flash games. You did have a family PC, right?
What's the worst cursing in Halo CE?
Must be either H or D word
The marines say damn and shit a lot
I remember the days of going on Newgrounds and playing one of those mature rated dating sim games. Pic related was the first time I saw bare breasts.
me mum made me get Guild Wars instead of World of Warcraft
it was fucking great, luv u mum
I don’t know, I think marines scream “shit” sometimes .
Had to play GTA 3 at my friends house because my mom heard the classic sensationalist cable news report about fucking hookers and then killing them to get your money back.
Bro are you? My first exposure to porn was a Naruto porn flash game that I found completely by accident. I vividly remember Hinata's massive tits.
I grabbed picrel and supercross 98 and at a yardsale the owners kid was going off to college and they were selling his shit right away as boomers do
I brought both games home my mom saw juggernaut she bitched at me and gave it to my aunt who played ps1
still never got to play it
