Forum:If I can handle GTA 4, should I be allowed toplay GTA 5?

Hey guys,

I live in Australia where GTA 5 is rated R 18+ for "drug use" and when my perents first saw it they would let me buy it. Yet they let me buy GTA 4 and it's episode that is rated MA 15+ for "strong violence, sex scenes, DRUG USE, Nudity and coarse language. If I can handle all that(have completed GTA 4 and am halfway through balled of gay tony). Why can't I have GTA 5? Should I be allowed to get it or should I need to wait till I am 18 in 3 years? Please answer quickly --Hutchm (talk) 14:50, August 21, 2014 (UTC)

Well GTA V is a lot different, Michael, Franklin and Trevor all do drugs weed and gasoline, not to mention a sex scene between two dogs and a full on torture scene. Not a difference to me, but it's far more extreme, so you might want take precautions. Leo68 (talk) 15:34, August 21, 2014 (UTC)

I think you will find that GTA IV was edited and rated MA15+ is Australia because at the time, Aus did not have an R18 classification for video games. By the time GTAV was relased, Aus had caught up to the rest of the Western world and introduced the R18 classification which meant it could be released there in an uncensored state. The unedited version of GTAIV is also R18 (as it is in NZ - we got the full version here, thankfully). Smurfynz (talk) 09:00, September 1, 2014 (UTC)
