It's just my thought. How do some of you feel about this? Sounds like a job for, oh I dunno, parents.
I mean, you ever just look around you and shake your head at how ****** a lot of parents are these days?
I really love the ones that were going after Rockstar about their game content.

It's just my thought. How do some of you feel about this? Why do we shelter children from dirty words in the first place? Weirdest thing ever to be honest. Especially in a game about war where the main goal as a player is to kill people. It's more for the words' sake than the kids'. Nothing shows how stupid you are for relying on bad language than being pelted with it by a 10-year-old.

Most polite player I ever met in Halo 3 was an 8-year old British kid who spoke like an aristocrat and was instant death when he had a Sniper Rifle.
If I ever have kids, by god they're not going to talk like idiots. They're gonna be like that kid. |

True story, when I used to work at Funcoland this kid wanted to get a copy of Timekillers and I told him to ask permission from his parent or guardian. He left, came back with his mom who began yelling at me because I wouldn't sell her kid a video game. A few days later, she returned it wondering why someone would make such a violent video game for kids.
The kind of things that make you wish there was a test or something for being able to be a parent.
Some people are just terrible at it. |

Actually, that may be an overstatement considering the racist, misogynist , and explicit names and language that permeates corp names, players names, and so on. Allow me to remind you (courtesy of Wang): Quote:Dear players, As many of you are aware the Uprising build for DUST 514 is about to be deployed. As part of our compliance requirement with Sony we are introducing a new feature that will limit chat functions to minors. If you are under the age requirement set by the gameGÇÖs rating in your region (16+ in EU regions for example) and have chat restriction settings on, then you will be unable to use the following in-game features:
Text/voice chat
Create/join player corporations
Social related functions such as:
Email
Contact list
Leader board In addition, in game entities such as player character and corporation names, station location names (EVE players) and EVE player names performing orbital strikes will appear with a default name instead.To remove the above restrictions will require a minorGÇÖs parent/legal guardian to set the chat restriction to OFF. We at CCP Games are dedicated to creating a safe gaming environment for our players. Please contact our support staff at [email protected] if you have questions regarding this new feature. Thank you. DUST 514 Development Team Kinda wild I thought. I'm glad they did this, but I think they need to do a little more better to enforce it rather than an "how old are you?" box.
You can't do more to enforce it. No matter what you do, someone can find a way around it, or the parent can make the decision that the rules shouldn't apply and just give their consent regardless of the player's age. |

And the fact that they play games like these is an indicator that their parents are morons. |

It doesn't matter what goes on in the school if you don't let them get away with that **** at home. If I ever talked like that I'd have been grounded.

It's just my thought. How do some of you feel about this? Well, we don't need to add a filter if the children are playing against the rules. That's their problem, or their parents. Well, it's true that it is the parents' responsibility. But do half of the parents know what the children are playing nowadays? Some of the PS3 consoles are in their rooms and parents don't really pay attention to what they download. Usually buying games had to be approved from the parents so they see what's on the case. But since Dust 514 is free, it's easy to download.
Hell, I was never allowed to have a TV in my room, much less a game console. Only thing I could do in my room is build Lego kits and read.
Speaking of which, pretty much all of my leisure time was spent READING BOOKS which it seems no one wants their kids doing anymore. |

I see these kids today and I just wonder how this could happen

Welcome to the Internet.
In case you didn't know, I guarantee that was a 15-25-year old male. |
