Stayed at a Jehova's witnesses' house for a few months and they said I couldn't play final fantasy X in their house because it was too violent

I'm from a previous generation so for me it was my parents buying me Leisure Suit Larry 7 for Christmas.
Just gonna point this out, GTA is one of the most accessible games for kids learning to play a game. Shooters are very difficult to grasp aiming with one thumb, moving with another, and shooting. Games where you have to follow instructions or solve puzzles are impossible till a kid gets the hang of games.
GTA? X button gets in and out of any car you want. Driving couldn’t be easier and is so much fun. Get out of the car and run around till you get bored, then just hop in another car.
And when you die? No reading, or lengthy instructions you need to follow. No, just spawn outside a hospital right next to another car.
I always felt like somebody needed to create a GTA clone just for kids. Everything about it should stay the exact same, just cartoonify the violence and get rid of the sex and drugs and stuff.
GTA clone just for kids
Bully
Wasn't that also Rockstar, lol
GTA 3 came out when I was in 3rd grade and I remember my dad renting it from Blockbuster. My mom was not thrilled.
I personally remember thinking, "This is like Driver, but better." I think we eventually bought it a year or two later, but my mom wouldn't let me play, so I to do it when she wasn't around.
My kids started on left 4 dead 2 at 4 he taught himself to read so he could get the mods he wanted
It's cyberpunk for me and my kid. It's a family favorite game for some reason.
Hehe, I remember my daughter around that age loved to watch me play bioshock. She called it "the hand game". Hope watching me harvest all those little sisters didn't affect her in any way.... I also used to set her up on top of my base with a sniper rifle and a mountain of ammo and let her takes care of blood moon hordes in 7 days to die.
My father didn't cared and my mother would tell me not to bully the kids in bully, but never forced me to stop playing thoses games, and most parents at that time where like that, at least in my social circle
If by cool you mean bad parent lol
