I have been using this word often, but it is so annoying when you get killed by a new player. However I do think that we should welcome new players so hence of this topic I will not use the word noob anymore. Everyone used to be a noob, and if Firm didn't help me out, and instead called me a noob and told me to get lost, then I wouldn't be where I am now in this game. So thank you for bringing this up, and point well made
Also to add, it is a 18+ game but all kids know about this sort of stuff, maybe 8 and 9 is going a bit too far, but it isn't like GTA lets you get away with anything, it teaches people that yer, you can do these things but you won't get awat with it in real life (or on the game. cops in gta 4 are mental). I am 13 and I play GTA SA and GTA 4 but I do it so that I don't go out and do it in real life. It is an alternative to me. I'd say 13+ is a good age to play.
AND to the one who said that if your not willing to go with your countries laws about the age thing, the law in trhe UK (dunno about everywhere else) is that kids can't BUY the age restricted things. However they can play at parent's discretion.
