Grand Theft Auto games need a PG mode.

Soapbox Killer · Dec 23, 2020

Like just let me sensor out the cussing and the sex stuff. My kids just wanna drive around dick around but they get put off by the extra violence and cussing without me having to check them. Still a helluva sandbox for a 9 year old who never played before.

Yes, Lego City is a solid alt but its not the same.

EDIT: I am not the only one it would seem

SirKai · Dec 23, 2020

There's probably some sort of mods for this on the PC versions, but I really don't think GTA games "need" any modes like this. They clearly sell just fine to kids as is.

9 years old shouldn't be playing GTA period. And yes, Lego City is your answer.

Fart Master · Dec 23, 2020

Yeah I don't know about that man

ILikeFeet · Dec 23, 2020

whoosh

Masterspeed · Dec 23, 2020

Get them a driving game then if they just want to "dick around" Buy Forza, Mario kart or anything Jesus.

A sandbox to do what in?

The game's about stealing stuff and killing people. If you want a solid open world driving game, pick up Forza Horizon.

Those aren't sandbox driving games like GTA though.

The stuff that makes GTA ( 5 Specifically) bad for kids could be stripped out and you would still be left with a awesome sandbox. Bunk them missions.

LewieP · Dec 23, 2020

They should remove the stealing of cars, too.

Plasma · Dec 23, 2020

Lets replace all the guns with walkie talkies too.

A. D. Skinner · Dec 23, 2020

But the kids don't want to play GTA just for that...they want the stuff you're saying should be able to be censored.

jtb · Dec 23, 2020

I don't disagree. All the R-rated stuff in GTA is the most cringey embarassing shit. But you probably couldn't get it down to PG lol

ApeEscaper · Dec 23, 2020

Kinda like how Cyberpunk offers the no Nudity option im guessing

TissueBox · Dec 23, 2020

I'm on board with the idea Killer. *thumb up*

Not by R*, but maybe via moddin'.

justiceiro · Dec 23, 2020

A mod could do that.

DrMoguera · Dec 23, 2020

Animal Crossing needs an R rated mode

TheMadTitan · Dec 23, 2020

Or maybe EA should make CitySims that's just a GTA clone without the violence but with a variety of activities and story missions to do.

It's not just the missions. It's basically the whole game.

I have always wanted this

Linus815 · Dec 23, 2020

We need an HD remake of this:

Watch dogs legion/watch dogs 2

Knight in Shining Armani · Dec 23, 2020

Huh. Could've sworn nine year olds love running over virtual hookers with stolen cars.

there's full frontal nudity in WD2

Nacery · Dec 23, 2020

Lego City Undercover is as stated before what you need. Also some superhero games are open world. And sorry but no, you shouldn't be allowing kids to play GTA.

Genesius · Dec 23, 2020

I want a road trip game a la Truck Simulator except you can drive around the country and visit landmarks and stuff.

Deleted member 24021 · Dec 23, 2020

Is this the GTA equivalent of easy mode for Dark Souls?

Princess Viola · Dec 23, 2020

nah. the games are rated m for a reason, you shouldn't be letting little kids play them anyways.

Relix · Dec 23, 2020

Well. This isn't a game for kids OP.

Grimmy11 · Dec 23, 2020

Just give us Simpsons Hit & Run 2.

-shadow- · Dec 23, 2020

I'd be all for a PlatinumGames mode!

Kasey · Dec 23, 2020

As long as I can still kill LSPD, have at it.

I remember playing this as a child. Not being able to run over pedestrians was strangely unsatisfying.

We have Lego City and they love it.

misho8723 · Dec 23, 2020

Take away all the graphic violence, blood and real world guns, and you can go

SanTheSly · Dec 23, 2020

Just... don't let them play GTA. Or find an alternative kid friendly sandbox game.

SomeOneInaHat · Dec 23, 2020

Driver 3 was that for me as a kid.

The person that suggested looking into mods may be the closest answer so far though.

SkoomaBlade · Dec 23, 2020

Sorry but I disagree. Not every game needs to be catered to every demographic.

There are plenty of other open-world sandbox games that your family can explore.

Blayde · Dec 23, 2020

Qassim · Dec 23, 2020

So, remove:

1. Killing or harming people
2. Weapons
3. Stealing cars
4. The radio
5. The advertising in the world
6. Other pedestrians and police interacting with each other in a violent way

and I'm not sure what really would be so great about it left that wouldn't be well served by a game designed to cater to that age group.

I don't think this game needs to have a mode developed for children.

rare · Dec 23, 2020

nah cause it's been fun telling kids parents at retail about the stuff in the game

That would be cruel:

nikos · Dec 23, 2020

Please, no. We don't need another thing censored, even if it's just an option. There are plenty of other games for kids to play.

Ha! I just mean for the free roam mode.

You know, what 99% of us played because of that damn tutorial

You could absolutely run over people, they just bounced around and got back up.

I'd love a big HD remaster, but I fear a remake or sequel would screw up too much and leave out characters.

Grand Theft Auto games need a PG mode.
