>tfw played Turok 1 & 2 as a kid
Felt good.
>>321065782
When I bought GTA:SA there was a little like five year old black kid in line behind me with his mom and the dude and the counter was like, "yeah this game isn't for kids, I can't let you buy this for your son." and the little shit has the nerve to pick up Vice City and quickly proclaim, "this one is okay!!!" and the clerk still laughs like yeah buddy sure.
I used to work in the media section at Best Buy. Shutting down whining kids by explaining ratings to their parents was maybe the best part of the job.
>>321065782
why are you such a faggot OP
i bet you played plenty of M games before you were of age, otherwise you would only have started playing them last week
>>321066072
Nah was just messing around cause OP Clarksonposted. When I was a kid, buying adult games for kids was a-okay still. My first games on the modern PC were Dungeon Keeper and Dark Reign.
>>321065935
Hey where's your I.D. young man?
I don't get why people feel satisfaction from this, did you not play games that weren't appropriate for you when you were a kid?
>>321066564
I'd like to see yours first, you seem to watch and play a lot of things designed for children.
>>321065782
Why do you have to explain this sort of thing to parents?
Here in Aus ratings aren't some weird mystical thing that people don't understand (aside from the government body that issues them), it's standard across movies/games etc
>>321066481
>actively contributes to less squeakers online
>this is somehow a problem
Ratings are there for a reason. Mature content isn't appropriate for children.:^)
>>321066656
In the US, every type of media has its own separate ratings system and ratings board. While most parents are savvy about movie ratings, video game ratings use a different scale, and many aren't even aware that they exist.
>>321066568
Because they feel the M-rated games kids want these days are shitty games and the kids are rude punks. They believe they were nicer and the games they played were good.
>>321066363
>I can't let you buy this for your son
That mother should of immediately asked for a manager, she most certinaly could sell the mom the game.
>>321066568
No, they all looked garbage
>>321065782
>>321065782
And so that kid discovered just what his mother is or isn't comfortable with him perusing on her dime.
Now he can go ask his father. If he's lucky, his father will be reasonable and draw the line somewhere. Or better yet, only let him play certain games when he's around.
That way when he does play faggot shit like Halo 5, or CoD 9 Black Ops Redux.
He won't turn into a edge spewing filth.
Either way it's the win win for the community at large.
>Mother loved watching me play shit like Parasite Eve or REsident evil on my Playstation.
>Or Kiss Psycho Circus or Homeworld on our shitty E-Machine PC back in 01/02
>>321066568
I like it because now that's one less kid I have to babysit on multiplayer.
>>321066568
I wasn't allowed to because my parents gave a shit about what they bought me.
Of course, that didn't stop me from borrowing Turok, MK, and Resident evil from friends. If the kids mildly clever he'll figure out a way to play his games regardless. It's a lesson in not being an entitled faggot and using your resources.
Shit that literally never happened: the post
>>321066836
Are most US parents also blind/ unable to read boxes? I would be more forgiving if the ratings didn't already somewhat resemble movie ratings visually
I'm pretty fortunate my parents were pretty chill about things like that.
We went to buy GTAIII and my mother told me about the age rating and I was like "No yeah it was okay" and that was that.
>>321066568
The people that get satisfaction from this had parents that were heavily restrictive on what content they had access to. They had to sneak, lie, and cheat their way into it, and they feel like it's a right of passage and kids that can't figure out some other way to get the games they want are too stupid to have that privilege.
I think the Yuro-rating system works better.
M? Whats does this small black M in the corner even mean? Doesn't catch attention.
But a bright, red "18"?
>>321066836
It's on the front of every game case, unlike movies. Most parents just don't care.
>>321067225
Kind of, yes.
It's not that people here are UNABLE to read, they just don't think to. Some younger parents or more educated parents stay on top of shit, but less educated parents are often unaware that there's even something on the box they SHOULD be reading. There are some good parents in the US, but there are shitty ones, too.
Some parents also aren't shitty, they just don't know yet. When I used to work at a Best Buy I had to teach parents about the ESRB ratings all the time, but they usually understood once I explained they were basically the same as movie ratings. This was almost 10 years ago though.
>>321067181
Just like 99% of stories on 4chan
>>321067181
What's so unbelievable about it?
>>321067325
My parents were very restrictive to though but I wouldn't take satisfaction from this. They used Common Sense Media for Christ sake.
>>321067325
Such is life, anon
Parents caving in to every high pitched demand is a recipe for disaster.
>>321067020
>That way when he does play faggot shit like Halo 5
Oh he has to be 12 to play it!
Usually i would be pissed at OP, but it was a little kid with CoD, so fuck him. No need to another squeacker.
>>321066568
You should be thankful to OP, maybe he saved your team in mp game from having kid in it.
>>321067489
People used to post this fucking story all the time and somehow /v/ always falls in line circlejerking about how epic OP is
>>321066568
No, i didn't my parents were aware of the ratings on video games, wich is kind of funny because they know jack shit about video games.
>>321066568
I was playing video games since before they had a rating system
>>321066640
i think this one is in the single digits
>>321067642
This particular story may not have happened, but I've had similar things happen when I used to work at an electronics store. Usually not so neat and easily greentext-able obviously.
>>321066913
Actually no. Just as selling to a kid below the rating age is against the law, so is selling to a parent when you know outright that the parent is going to give the game to a child. If an adult comes up and buys the game, no problem. You don't have to ask them who it's for. But when an adult comes up with a child and clearly states the game is for the child, that's when the onus is on you to explain the ratings system and deny the sale.
It's one of those things that really isn't enforced though. There used to be the occasional story of a store getting fined and the employee in question being fired, but it was extremely rare. Nowdays with CoD and the like being bought primarily for kids anyways, no-one bothers since it means missed sales.
>>321065782
>kid's face when
>>321066913
Selling age restricted goods to someone who you suspect will pass them on to someone under the prescribed age is still an offence.
>>321067642
Okay, but this sort of thing probably happens once every 10 minutes in America.
>>321066795
>actively contributes to less squeakers online
I don´t play shit games that are for little kids
>>321065782
I had a friend just like you once, he was a sad, pathetic human being, I imagine you must be too
Good job OP.
Parents who buy age-inappropriate titles for their children deserve to be fined.
Explaining to parents why a game is rated Mature in explicit detail <<<<< Shutting a 13-16-year-old the fuck down
>>321067754
>Just as selling to a kid below the rating age is against the law
store policy =/= law
following ESRB ratings is something stores voluntarily do and not all stores that sell games do it
>>321067754
>Actually no. Just as selling to a kid below the rating age is against the law, so is selling to a parent when you know outright that the parent is going to give the game to a child. I
No it´s not, you fucking idiot. Ratings are a guideline, not a law.
>>321066913
I don't know how it works in Burgerland, but the UK a purchase from a store is legally considered an 'invitation to treat' which means that any store can refuse service for any reason.
Considering the similarities between US & UK common law I wouldn't be surprised if there's something similar there.
>>321067754
>>321067784
WRONG BITCH

>Is it illegal to sell or rent M (Mature) or AO (Adults Only) rated games to customers under 17 and 18 years of age respectively?
>A ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2011 found that video games are a constitutionally-protected form of expression, and that laws restricting their sale or rental based upon violent content are unconstitutional.
It's just store policy, not the law.
>>321067964
All the major ones do, though, and are regularly secret-shopped to ensure compliance.
>>321067181
I have to refuse service of age restricted goods several times a week. Mostly lighters and shit light that but we sell a few video games too. People get mad, but I've seen people get fined before so fuck that.

>>321068023
Neat. Back when I worked at a shop all employees were told it was the law. Maybe the manager was just overzealous?
Kids have it so fucking easy today and they still whine like brats.
I don't get why op is being praised so much here, it was his mom who decided not to get him the game after he asked to scan her DL. Shouldda just let the little punk have it, cod community is shit anyway all that's going to happen now is he's going to jump into a potentially decent game and ruin that with his underagedness.

OP here
It's tiring to have to teach these baby boomer tech illiterates about games. They're everywhere right now buying games that are on Xmas lists, and the other day this woman came in asking to buy Minecraft. I asked which system and she was all like "oh gosh I don't know I don't know anything about these things I like to read books for goodness sake".
Unfortunately there's alot of older people out there who are stuck in the stone age and think games are only for children or basement dwellers (albeit many of whom browse here).
I told her which systems have Minecraft and she was so dead set on buying the cheapest Xbox 360 CONSOLE and a copy of 360 Minecraft, I eventually talked her into reconsidering since it's an old gen console now and would be stupid to buy at this point.
I have so many more stories, each are painful trying to explain tech to boomers.
>>321065782
Why do yanks not use a number system? M rating is stupid/
>>321067754
Dude, as long as the one you're selling it to is their legal guardian it's perfectly fine. Hell I work in a liquor store, parents can legally give booze to anyone they have custody over too. Though it can be a bit of a grey area.
>>321068296
>cod community is shit anyway
You're missing the point.
>tfw mom didn't buy me m rated game until I was 14
All my friends had them
>>321068396
There is a number on the rating its just small. The letter takes up most of the box.
>>321068217
We don't spell "offense" with a 'c', homie.
>>321068310
Are you like 30 or 40
>>321068461

>>321068396
More to the point, why don't they just use the movie rating system? Even the most luddite of parents understand that.
>>321067943
>Most of /v/ grew up playing doom/turok/resident evils/ etc well below M rating age
>Suddenly it's not ok
Fuck this hypocritical shit
>>321065782
If you were born a little faggot, seeing a nipple or some fake gore in a video game isn't going to change that. My parents understood that, and that's why my father would bring home games like Mortal Kombat regularly. Sheltering kids from entertainment that do absolutely no damage will give them a warped perspective of the world when they finally come of age. It also enables faggots like OP to abuse their of power as a cashier to deny a kid a fucking video game. If your kid cannot handle fantasy violence, they are going to be fucked from the start, regardless.
>>321068342
I worked in a target electronics from 2008 - 2014, which included the gigantic fucking Wii craze. At one point, Wii consoles were dangerous to carry around the store, because you felt like you'd get jumped for it.
One time, before the holidays, I was selling the last console in the store to some mom, and I was sliding the thing into a plastic bag... The Wii boxes had a weird serrated edge on the cardboard, and it slashed my palm open and I got blood all over the box. I apologized profusely, but the mom didn't care at all, she was terrified I was gonna tell her she couldn't buy it anymore.
Same shit happened with the Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii, and Wii Sports Resort. People were retarded.
What is it about heavy rain that brings in the most shit eating asshole customers on the planet?

OP here
When you scan an M rated game at our registers, there is a screen that comes up asking for a valid license scan, and it's impossible to bypass without a manager's keys.
The woman asked why she had to hand her ID over just for a video game, so I explained it to her and she decided not to buy it. Don't take your nerd rage out on the person doing their fucking job you faggot.

I didn't.
I never played a M game until I was 16, and I never played a multiplayer M game til the year after.
I don't even feel like I missed out because that was when the brown and bloom shit was ramping up. I had much more fun in retrospect with R&C, driving games, city building and business Sims, and platformers than I ever did with those other turds.

While I applaud your efforts because COD is just another boring rooty tooty shooter hooty, the majority of decent games out there are rated M for mature.
My first M rated game being Ninja Gaiden Black.
Also it really sucks to be the only kid without the game your friends have.
You can't go to your friends house all the time to play video games.
That's why we have online multiplayer.

Same age bro. I literally had no issues buying games when I was young, swear to god, no memes.
Games I remember buying with no issues:
Mortal Kombat, genesis version
Gta
Resident Evil games
Eternal Champions
I also had a job when I was 15 or 16 as a telemarketer, and had a state Id and shit. Maybe the clerks figured I had my shit together? I dunno.
>>321067325
My parents didn't give a shit about what I played/watched. My mom watched alien with me when I was 6 and she thought there was nothing wrong with it. I'd still get satisfaction from this cause I hate kids.

keep in mind i was about 14/15 at the time. so i get the magazine and go up to buy it and the cashier asks if i had any ID because the magazine was rated 18

I worked in that department back when they hadn't figured out street dates yet. If you tried to ring something up that hadn't been released yet the register would list it as a generic item and ask for a price. There were at least a few games I got early and cheap using this method.
Then they got their shit together and ringing up something early basically made an alarm go off.

>>321069812
So you're going to risk some customer getting pissy, filing a complaint and getting your ass fired just because you dont want to sell a copy of a game you dont like?

She wasn't a bitchy mom, but she hated her time being wasted.
ITT: kids that had helicoptor parents and were denied the video games they wanted
Sorry your parents weren't well adjusted adults.
>>321069863
It's literally not against the law. There is nothing illegal against a kid playing a rated m game.
>>321069907
Again, it's not illegal. You can purchase a game online without breaking the law.
Like I give a fuck. If a mom needs a retail store to guide her purchases instead of being aware what do I care what that 8 year old sees? Get real anon cod is just fucking cartoons anyways

Back in the good old days when the 'law' about selling M rated games was more just a suggestion.

If it wasn't for Clarkson, it would be the most generic AMERICAN TV spot for a gadget ever. I dunno how they do it: is this a stale script, stock-tier background music or how it's shot, but it feels like Clarkson is out of place, he's too British, foreign for this

>So you're going to risk some customer getting pissy, filing a complaint and getting your ass fired just because you dont want to sell a copy of a game you dont like?
>>321066568
The difference is, those mature rated games I played were single player.
I didn't scream down a microphone or shit games for my team because multiplayer meant splitscreen when I was young.
Today, most games kids play are MP, and kids who play mature rated MP games are obnoxious.
>>321065782
Whenever I'm in the same situation in my own store, I reassure the parent that the game isn't that bad and ring it up.
I just sold evolve, dead island and battlefront a few days ago to a kid for his christmas present. his dad said he needed something to occupy him on the way to europe. Was an all around nice experience.
>>321070116
When I worked retail, there were random checks by law enforcement to see if we'd sell alcohol to minors. If you got caught twice you were fired.

FYI, there is no law about selling M games to kids, this went to the Supreme Court years ago, it's 100% store policy.
>>321066568
No, I didn't. My parents were very strict about the ratings on the games I played. I did however convince them to let me play my first M rated game when I was 14.
>>321070119
No she was being a bitchy mom, and not only that, she was being a bitchy mom because other bitchy moms demanded that this be a part of their jobs that if undone would result in fines and/or litigation

You clearly haven't ever worked in retail.
Customers are the enemy of all that is good and decent, and ruining the hopes and dreams of one of their mewling shitspawn is as close to happiness and contentment as we retail drones can come.
I'll just continue to clarify, it's not illegal or against the law for a kid to play a rated m game. It's just target throwing away money, mom & pop, walmart, online retailers? They don't care

serious concern. Flashing your ID should be enough, why allow yet another corp to have your personal data? Other ones at least give you some nice cheap crap like malware infested branded pendrives or umbrellas (maybe even a t-shirt) in exchange for that.

Most autistic moment of my life
I was playing narc, friday the 13th, smash tv and deja vu on my nes when I was 6 years old and I'd still take every opportunity available to deny little shits these days their m rated vidya.
I might be a hypocrite, but in the early 90s my playing these games didn't interfere with others like it does these days with online multiplayer in every title.

He still feels like Clarkson in it, which is what gets me. I honestly doubt they could neuter his personality, no matter the script.
If Gear Knobs is crap, I'm going to burn the Amazon warehouse by me to the ground.
>>321070568
Wasn't lying anon, people really do get raped sometimes.
>>321070651
I'm guessing they want the ID of the buyer on hand in case the child recipient of the game goes shoots up a school or something and evidence suggests that games influenced him or something.
>>321070421
they even have to color code guns and apparently kill themselves as reference here >>321070385

Jeez, white kids really have a struggle these days. When I was coming up, the only thing that was hard to acquire was porn. Especially one rental stores took it off the shelves.
>Saturday rolls around
>Dad throws you outside and says he doesn't want to see your ass again until night fall or he's going to beat you
This would probably qualify as abuse for kids these days
>>321066568
Because the ESRB didn't exist when I was playing games.
>mfw I just send my mom out alone to buy me games
>never had this problem ever
>people seriously think amazon top gear is gonna be any good
Face it a big part of why Top Gear was so great was the quality of the production behind it.
Don't expect any good specials from amazon. It's gonna be dog shit and the end of clarkson's career

>>321066568
Yes. I was also a massive fucking faggot, and though the world only had to put up with my underage faggotry online for two years, that was all the more reason I wasn't fit to do so.
"mature 4 my age xD" doesn't exist, and OP improved the quality of life for people who play that game considerably.
>>321070487
She was bitching about the clerk not just accepting her 'I know' and selling her the game.
And I would bitch about the food situation, I want food within a certain time frame, I don't care how they manage it, that's there problem.

This
There was an exceptional team behind Top Gear that managed to held it all together for more than a decade
>>321071040
I've heard that they are having full creative control over it or something, so I don't see why we would.
Why is everyone crediting/blaming OP for not selling the game?
If you people knew how to read for longer than 2 seconds, you'd read that it was the mom who decided not to buy it.

>>321068661
There's a difference between playing an M rating game back then and playing them NOW since you didn't have to deal with online multiplayer (which is now required since local multi is on decline).
As for me, I was a little bitch and didn't get my first 16 video game before high school. And it was Eternal Darkness.
>>321065782
What you did was good but taking pride in it isn't.
You should have done that out of professionalism and not to bully a small child.
>>321071232
No offense to the trio, but I think they are nothing more than really good hosts and a combo of personalities. I really do think the producers made the show shine
>>321067020
>Kiss Psycho Circus
That had a PC version?
>>321066568
I probably wouldn't since my parents bought me games like doom, diablo, and other amazing games while being an underage turd.
>>321071382
The closest I ever had to this was back when I worked in a meat market and people would ask for bones to give to their dogs and I had to tell them no since when we cut the bones with our saws they get a razor sharp edge to them that can fuck up their dog's mouth if they try to eat it. I got a lot of flak for it from customer's in denying giving their dog serious health problems for free. Hell we even started stocking dog bones in the meat market so that we could redirect them to it instead of just giving them a no.
>>321065782
He'll just pirate it. Good job losing a sale.
>>321071438
Considering that it was the specials where they really shone, I agree. It's a shame that things went down the way they did, but hopefully it's decent.

You mean the head producer who left BBC with them and is making the new show with the trio. Like this anon said >>321071362. Same crew, full control, bigger budget.
ESRB ratings are kind of bullshit. A 16 year old can drive a car to his job at the slaughterhouse and kill animals for hours on end and have consensual sex afterwards but can't buy a M rated game?

>>321071818
Holy shit are you for real?
>>321071896
the real question is why can you do all that, buy M rated games, smoke cigarettes at the same time, but not buy alcohol?
My mom bought me gta III in 5th grade and laughed when the cashier tried to tell her it was violent, etc.
>>321071914
It wasn't one second, I was referring specially to:
>tell her the game has an M rating and explain game ratings
Which was the annoying part. The guy went on and on about how the game wasn't suitable for underage players. Smug teenage shit.
>>321071930

>>321071825
The BBC is a broadcaster.
Companies within and outside the corporation get commissioned to make programmes that the BBC then airs.
>>321071958
Yep, there are loads of people like me. Try living in London for a while.
>>321071982
Because 18 year olds don't vote, and the alcohol lobby is weaker than the tobacco lobby and more old people approve of smoking than approve of drinking. The only reason that the drinking age is still so low is that the elderly haven't decided to take it away again.
The store I work at used to carry games and I always just punched in a random birthdate if it asked. That spiel about losing your job over selling M rated games is bullshit
I doubt it will even delay this kid by that much. I used to buy xbox games online and it basically comes down to ticking a box to say you are 18+
