just my opinion. i have 2 boys and that type of shyt is a crap shoot...how it will affect them.
i want to let them be kids, so as far as adult things, i plug the holes in the dam wherever i can
i cant give them "crime pays" at that point...

its up to you. like I said, my kid played it for a while, and then was over it as we didn't make a big deal out of it. the only games she really plays to this day is sims and minecraft. my thought is that they already see graphic stuff on tv between horror movies and action movies with profanity, this didn't seem like a big deal.

My oldest nephew is 11 and he and his younger brothers play it personally I rather them not
I let my 6 year old play GTA with me 
Of course I didn't go on any whoring missions with him watching, but the majority of the game isn't that bad as long as you are ok with violence.
I don't know if I would buy it for an 11 year old to play by himself though.
But then again if he's smart enough to make it to and complete the whoring missions then he can probably handle the content.
I say buy it and play it with him and see how he reacts

Nah, don't buy it for him

I'm typical cool with the violence aspect in gaming. It's the sexual stuff that I feel wrong in having any part in exposing them to that in that manner.I let my 6 year old play GTA with me

If it's a conversation between me and the child on some educational stuff then of course, but I don't want to just say here go play this alone in your room. Thats too much.
You can have sex with prostitutes in a POV angle so....

Weak ass big brother. It's 2016. You ain't shielding him from nothing. Kid could go on the ps4 browser and watch porn if he wanted.
I played GTA1 and 2 when I was 5. It was fun, ain't nothing wrong with violent games for kids if they're properly raised. :shrugkobe:
I feel the same way and was raised the same way as well in regards to violence.
I was clear in my post. My issue is with handing a kid a game to play by himself that shows people getting head and having very sexually explicit conversations as part of the main story.
