Exactly. I had (well, still have) an older brother. Mature games were never bought for me. In one of the instances I played GTA 3, I seem to remember attacking a pedestrian, and having my father say "Now, why would you do that?".
That was enough to contextualize the violence as silly. But I never thought of it as anything more than that, I don't think.
I'm wondering this too. I feel like digital would be more convenient on the day this game releases, but IDK I try to own physical copies of my games whenever I can.

At 11 I wouldnt give him GTA only because I dont want him repeating dumb shit at school. I'd wait unti the kid is like 13 or 14 and has a tiny filter

No, what you do is use the video as evidence in court that he's being raised by shit parents and lock them up after he commits an act of violence against his middle school classmates.
So you're saying the game taught you how to get cash.
Indeed, no way would I let my kid touch GTA until he's at LEAST 16. Even adults have a hard time processing some of the stuff they make in these games.

For the record I was 17 when GTA3 came out with MA15+ rating.

Are the camera view options the same as IV for walking and driving? Haven't seen the hood cam in the streams, or close up over the shoulder while walking.

Hmm, phone is on 2% think I might call it a night. It's only 1am here .
.My only worry is that they went too far in the other direction to appease the critics of GTA IV's driving, which i thought was perfect. It sounds like all the vehicles are too easy to control now which would be a shame.
That said, it's hard to trust impressions of people here when GTA IV was so heavily disliked on this forum. And Sleeping Dogs driving physics are liked here while I found them to be an abomination.
Well, not long now till I can find out for myself.

I would have been fine with GTA4's driving if I wasn't also always fighting against the low framerate.

I was 15 when the original came out, i don't think a 10-11 should play the current gen versions of GTA.
so that means 3:00 Am for me. Fml.
I wish i could get a refund and get the physical.
A lot of folks have been saying that stores aren't allowed to sell it until Monday. Patience is a virtue. You can try your hand at craigslist but do you really want to sink so low that you're willing to over pay for a game you want so badly? I don't think so. By the way, what's with the avatar change?
I saw these two ads on a subway while walking downtown yesterday in NY:

04:00 A.M. here, of what will be a long Tuesday (gotta teach my Philosophy and Contract Law classes, and then go to my LL.M.). Gosh, I wish someone had it here in Rosario, Argentina so I could buy it right now and spend the whole weekend in Los Santos...

I was watching violent films from a pretty young age. I was fifteen when I first got the original GTA in 97.
My little brother has been playing them since he was around ten. He had them on his PSP. He is very mature for his age though, always excelled in school. I could see a real problem with letting certain children play them though.

Does the game have screen tearing? and which version is better?
Yeah forget about it.
I called about 10 stores. Every single one its going to release it on Monday Night.
Rockstar ninjas all over NYC. I figured since they have their HQ in NYC its easier for them to secure their shipments.
Unless you have a buddy thats willing to risk his job for you.

This is going to be me when I get the game on Tuesday
Stock has been taking a dive
Same here.
dont worry my child, the 17th will be one of The Happiest Days of Our Lives!!!!!!!!!!
I love the GTA IV driving mechanics too. The best in sandbox games. An almost perfect balance between realism and fun.
Playing inside the car is an amazing experience. How the weight of the car feels when you turn or brake. How each car feels really different from each other. The thing it lacked was proper highways to enjoy it at full.
As you, I'm worried that they make the driving too arcadey.

I was 11 when I got my first GTA game, Liberty City Stories on PSP (towards the end of 2006). It was my first MA 15+ rated game, and, as far as I can remember, I never thought the violence was anything cool. I just played the game to have fun (never ended up getting off the first island though, I think, found Pursuit Force much more exciting at the time).
As everyone else has said though, it depends on how mature or how comfortable the parent feels in their kids ability to handle the game. I certainly think it's a tad overplayed how much it could damage a kid, but there's always that chance I suppose.

I've noticed a majority of people who are getting it for PS3 are in for the single player & 360 wise I seen everyone about the online.
GTA 4 is a top played game on Xbox 360 to this date for a reason.
Performance wise for me, doesn't matter.

I played the original GTA when I was like 6 years old. I played GTA 3 when I was 14. I do think violent videogames nowadays aren't for all kids. The games nowadays are way to graphic for little kids I think. For some kids they are just fine, others go dream about it or are getting aggressive and copy the language used in games like GTA.
I think most elders can make a wise decision if it would do their kid harm playing violent videogames.
