Actually I'm not 17.
(I have said before that I'm not too much older than Cybermat47) For one, you don't need to be 17 if you have a parent there when you buy the game. I've bought R movies before. Act of Valor, Prometheus, Crimson Tide, etc. No problem. They don't check me for ID at Hastings.

I would be more concerned about the violence than the nudity but I am not your mother.

She doesn't particularly like that either. She knows that I'm old enough to handle violence and language. I was also reading the parental info for Apocalypse Now on IMDB and they tend to overdo it in that department so...yeah. My Mom sat through FMJ with me and my Dad. She really did not like Pyle's Glory Moments there in the bathroom with the DI and what not. It's mainly my little brother that she tries to protect though. No matter what I do...he has to do the same. He always has to tag along with what I'm doing.
When I was 9-10, (I don't exactly remember how old I was) I had to beg for months and months to be allowed to play the first Halo game. Apparently it was a bit bloody and violent but it didn't bother me. One day, I was finally allowed to play Halo and I felt awesome...but here comes my little brother of 6-7 and he's allowed to jump right in because I'm allowed to. I remember that made me mad. Things like that have caused him to be the way he is now. He's the youngest though. The youngest child is always spoiled.
Nowadays I'm up to stuff like Dead Island and Fallout. I'm not a serial killer or anything but I think that the bloodiness and the realistic violence just adds to the immersion. You don't feel like you could be there if the guy steps on a landmine, falls down instead of flying up in the air, and there's no blood or missing pieces. I think that the 2010 Medal Of Honor and Call of Duty World at War have done the best job in that department. It does not bother me but I can see how it can bother some people. I'm used to having my arms all the way inside of a dead deer every November after shooting the thing. (Last November, I had to gut it in the dark completely by feel....That was just exhilarating
) I hunt and I am not bothered by violence or blood. I sure as heck am not one to go starting fights. That's not something anybody should do.
Look at me getting on an out of control rant again.... I went from movies to video games to gutting deer in one post.
