hmmm, if you dad doesnt let you play it then, you must not be mature enough. lol. well you know these kinds of things can only be solved between you and your dad. the only things your gonna here in here are "smack ur dad and say i m getting GOW" and etc. lol. so you should work out this problem your self. good luck!

If you turn the violence off in Gears of War, it's more of a humorous game then a violent shooter. And act mature. Go to a place or something with your dad where they are showing off Gears. Maybe at a GameCrazy where they are still letting people try it out. Go there and walk by the console and the guy playing it with your dad, and say "Eh...that's cool." Then turn away and look at other games on the shelf. What ever you do, don't go "ZOMG!!!1one TeH OwNaGE!!!!!11eleven"

wait until he is perfectly comfortable and run in there in an ape suit and kick him square in the nuts! Then go play GoW and if he tries to stop you, just tell him, your in an ape suit and he can't mess with that!

If your as immature as your spelling and grammar are bad then your dad's right not to let you play it. Sorry for being a douce, actually I used to just have someone older to buy it for me, if you have the money even try paying them if they don't wan't to .

ROFL probably the funniest thing i've read on GS in a long time.

EDIT: oh right, on topic: What i would do, is find a T rated game that your dad is somewhat interested in. I remember when i wanted vice city, i was like... 12 or 13 so my stepdad said no, then i found out when he was a kid he played the original 'spy hunter' in the arcades, so he let me get that game (rated T, i believe) so i just convinced him that Vice City wasnt that much worse and he let me get it.

Now to all of you 30 year olds who tell this kid to be more mature, or grow up, just chill, i had games like this when i was his age and i turned out just fine, its a videogame, its not gonna kill anyone.

You're 14. That's why he won't let you play it. Just wait your 3 years and find other games that you can play. there's a ton of them out there.

We don't need more screaming kids on Gears but if you are mature enough then I'm guessing your dad will let you play and you don't fall in that category.

Well, fourteen might be a bit too early to start playing a violent and bloody game like Gears of War. I think you may just have to live with your fathers decision.

it all comes down to parents, if they want to raise their kids that way then be it. NO GoW for you until you're old enough! end of discussion.

If he lets you watch mature rated films use that as an excuse... and that it's a game so it can possibly be as bad as films which have real people in them

EDIT: Or get rainbow six vegas: I like it a lot more than gears

have one of your friends buy the game for you then just hide it from your dad. i had to do that for one of my friends cuz his parents wont let him play M rated games so i went with my dad and bought a second one for him and now he just hides it from his parents.

edit: also you CAN turn the gore off so its not bad. i kinda like it like that cuz then theres no blood on your screen and it makes it easier to see

You need to let them drop. Ha. Anyway, do you already have the game? Just pop it in and play it. You'll be ok. He'll be amazed by the graphics.

Tell him that the game is similar to Halo and all you do is shoot just like Halo 2. If that doesn't work, then let him play it and he might like it.

first off everyone that is stereotyping him he wrote a sentence and you judge him just for that so be quiet.

you should probably show him you can act mature because I realize some people are more mature than their age and some are less mature.

Get a game that is even worse in a bundle or something, then he might let u get gears. I'm 15 and I wasn't allowed to get it. When I got my 360 it just turned out to be bundled with it. My mom couldn't do anything about it. She wanted to take it away from me but I told her she could only have it if she paid me 69.99 which was the games price at that time.

If your dad doesnt want you to get then you cant get it. Anyways hes probably trying to raise you in a proper way other than letting you play a game that would make you say "i chainsawed you hahha im so 1337." And there are many of other good games that are good that you could get by yourself.
