Ask them to rent the game first and watch as you play it and talk to them about their objections and reservations.
Maybe, if they see someone playing the actual game they might see that it's not as bad as they think it is. That's a way for both of you to reach some kind of compromise.
Fact is the game is for older perhaps more mature players. They have a legitimate concern over it being a one-player shooting game with crossbows, grenades and various firearms in it against enemies.
They know in the past that movies and sometimes games like this have inspired tragic real-life events and may think the whole idea of the game is a bad one. They need to see the product and read up on it to make a decision.
But.. if they already have like the poster said below it's a hard-sell that has to be made calmly and with maturity, not constant pressure from you.
Also, just because your friends may own the game doesn't mean it's right for you to own it or that you're mature enough. Your parents care and have reasons and perhaps their parents don't check out what they are buying or think about this.
Find out what they think is so bad about the game especially when you can watch R-rated films and far more graphic stuff. As far as I can see as long as you aren't disturbed and can separate reality from fantasy and know the situations in the game are a game and not to be imitated I can't see the justification.

Speaking as a parent I'd have to say that if your parents have already made up their minds and decided they don't want you to have this game then chances are pretty slim that'll they'll be changing their decision anytime soon. Try to keep in mind that your parents aren't restricting your game playing to be mean. They're taking an active role in what you do and have your best interests at heart. But I realize this is something important to you. Maybe you could try talking to them calmly about it. Perhaps ask them if they'd agree to let you show them the game so they can make a better determination. Hopefully they'll listen to you and respect your views. Hope this helps somehow. Good luck!
