She played the crap out of Diablo 3, though, so I'm not particularly worried about her not enjoying 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try it man! I was off yesterday and the miss worked, so I played all day (instead of doing errands/chores ) and I am loving it! Everything has been improved from the first masterpiece and that sense of excient and wonder is everywhere. Most fun I've had with a game since elden Ring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God, I remember it all too well. I was a junior in high school and had just built my first computer to game on. My parents bought into it for a while, but eventually relented when I showed Half-Life to my dad and he decided it was fine to play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Joe Lieberman and his relentless crusade against Mortal Kombat, Doom, and Grand Theft Auto. I only knew his name because of how many articles were written about him in PC Gamer, Electronic Gaming Monthly, Game Informer, and Xbox Magazine.

I would go over to my buddy's house to play GTA Vice City after school. My dad didn't care about me playing games like Doom because I'm shooting demons and monsters. He just had a problem with GTA because we were "committing crimes". After I hit high school though, my parents didn't care what I played.

Everything I read says there was never blood in the SNES version(s). There was one post in this thread referring to blood. https://www.mortalkombatonline.com/t/classic/mortal-kombat-snes-competition-edition/32w3fLrezJn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
