Your first M rated game when you turned 17?

Reach, actually. My buddies came down for my birthday and we went to gamestop to pick it up.

Ehhh. I have no clue. I've pretty much always been able to play M rated games, so I wouldn't know which game was my first when I turned 17.

" Back before I was 18, nobody gave a shit about ratings. They do now, but obviously I no longer care. "

I'm 25 now and I can't remember ever having trouble buying games and I always bought my own games.

there weren't ratings when i was 17.

 
I played rated M games when i was 14-16 so i was allowed to lots of shit.
 
I have no idea which the first M rated game i played.

Legally was Quake 4. Sucked.

If it counts it was Mortal Kombat (SNES) which was released before ESRB. If not, the first M rated game I played was Doom on MS-DOS. I was 11 years old at the time but I've already seen so much worst stuff on tv at the time that my parents had no pickle with any of those.

I've always been able to buy M-rated games, so I can't really remember. 

I think that the first two M rated games I bought when I was actually 17 were Call of Duty 4 and Assassin's Creed. If we go by the first M rated game I ever played, it was probably Turok when I was about 8.

" I've always been able to buy M rated games by myself, the ratings aren't taken super seriously where I live. "

When I was 17, there was no ESRB :( Old man McGraw here

was resident evil 2 and i think i was more like 12-13 not that i cared lol age ratings pffffffttt

I can't remember, it was like seven years ago.

Nobody cares about the ratings where I live but the first one I bought was Devil May Cry 4

I remember the first M-rated game I played was Duke Nukem, and the first one I bought legally was... huh. You know, I can't exactly say for sure. It's a tough call.

I have no idea, they are really lax on asking for I.D here so I have been buying them since I was 16. 
 
First M-Rated game I ever had was GTA when I was 7 though, parents only realised the mistake a week after they had bought it. I guess this accounts for why I'm regularly killing prostitutes.

I bought Modern Warfare 2 from Best Buy when I was 16, I just chatted up the lady at the counter and she didn't card me.

But, I buy all my games from Amazon, I think that was the last time I went to a store to buy a game... maybe for Dragon Age...

Arcanum: Of Mystery and Magick Obscura.

The first M game I bought my self was Fallout New Vegas cause I only turned 17 a few months ago. Though have been playing and getting M rated games since I was 8ish.

Nobody takes age restrictions seriously in Poland. Still, I don't have so many 18+ games.
