When i last talked to\u00a0you i was 13 and i had been asking why my parents had not let me play\u00a0GTA 4. I am 15 now and have played through the game and must say how\u00a0amazing and mature the game was. I used to hate how you told parents\u00a0that they should not let their kids play it but after playing through\u00a0it i could not agree more. Though the game is very detailed and\u00a0immersive, I am glad i waited. I guess i just wanted to say thank you\u00a0for all your advice and to all you other teen gamers out there trying\u00a0to get this game, if your parents say wait, wait! It is worth it,\u00a0trust me. \u00a0P.S here\u00a0is a link to see my most<a href=\"http:\/\/www.whattheyplay.com\/features\/ask-gamerdad-august-1-2008\/\"> recent question<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>GamerDad Says: \u00a0Thank you, this is the first real followup I&#8217;ve ever gotten and it&#8217;s really cool to get it. \u00a0I&#8217;m glad you waited and understand now, even though you still played it below the recommended age you&#8217;ve learned a good lesson about patience and maturity. It works different for everyone. \u00a0For the record, my thoughts on GTA4 -which is a terrific game &#8211; are unchanged. I still think this one is better for adults not really because of the violence and drugs, not really because of the sex and nihilistic storyline but because the satire is distinctly adult. \u00a0It&#8217;s a mature game in every sense.<\/p>\n<p>So thanks for your followup man! \u00a0Just be careful, now a bunch of 13 year olds are going to hate YOU!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CONFUSED GAMER WRITES: Hey Gamerdad its Confused Gamer again.
