Hey, guys.
My nephew has a birthday coming up and really likes video games. Trying to find a game that would be appropriate for his age (he's turning 12). I know COD is rated M, but I'm not sure if that's actually important or if it's more of a guideline. His dad, my brother, wasn't really sure if it was a good idea. I'm a little concerned about the online play. Is there a way to turn this off or put parental control on it?
I'm not into gaming myself, but I know it's a super popular franchise (my coworkers never stop talking about it). If you guys don't think it's appropriate, or don't think it's a great game, what would you recommend instead?
Thanks in advance!

Parental controls only disable entire games based on classifications I'm pretty sure, not individual features like online.
If he wants cod sure get it for him. Just disconnect the console from the internet if you're that concerned.

I stopped playing CoD when I overheard two grown men working as Pepsi Merchandisers at my local grocery store. They were both probably in between 25-30 and just listening to them talk made me feel uneasy.
"So, did you get the new COD yet bro?"
"Yea man, it's fucking awesome. I was up all last night playing it online."
"What prestige are you?"
I remember stopping in the aisle pretending to browse the chips when I just thought to myself, holy shit these guys are fucking faggots. I sure as hell don't want to be associated with these degenerates, hell I'd rather be a nigger!
True story.

What it says on the package: 17 plus

Ahh, I see. Don't really know how it works. His parents might know more about that than I do. Thanks for the input.

Any games you guys would recommend instead?

Cod is shit.
If he wants a mature game that actually has more depth than "lol killing people is fun, get noscoped noob lmao!", buy him Bloodborne.
the newer cods are pretty tame, like as bad as the average micheal bay flick. i played some of the heavier shooters when i was younger and besides browsing taiwanese sewing boards I turned out mostly fine
>>335650793
Cool, I've never heard of that one. I'll ask my coworkers if they've played it. Thanks!
>>335649995
What console does he have?
>>335650771
Hyper dimensional neptunia
>>335650924
LoL, no idea what that is, but I'm glad you turned alright!
>>335649995
Online multiplayer will turn that kid into a little shithead ive seen it with my friends bros.
It's funny that if people waited to play these games until they were supposed they would probably not be into it. I like vidya because I started with halo with my best mate when I was 10. Didn't make me violent or cuss I just didn't have the discipline to not play all the time or realize there are cooler things out there.
Will this kid become a shot lord because of the videogame? Maybe. But it won't be because of the content of the game, it'll be the nature of vidya.

I bet you went home to jack off to your hentai games, faggot.
>>335651025
Not 100% sure. I'm pretty sure it's the XBox 1. Are most game compatible with PS4 and XBox 1?
>>335651074
I'll look into that one!
>>335651209
I wish, nah I probably just jacked off to regular straight porn that night.

Get him a wiiu and some decent games. CoD sucked after Modern Warfare and he'll turn into the biggest fag imaginable.
>>335651194
That's a good point. I know it can get pretty addictive. Thanks for the advice.
>>335649995
Pretty sure the average cod player is about 11, so you should be fine. Depends more on his parents.
>>335650771
Wii
>>335650771
Ratchet & Clank
>>335651453
>after modern warfare
lol literally every single CoD game past the first is trash because they all have regen health. only the first uses healthpacks.
>>335651453
>>335651494
Maybe I'll talk to his parents about a Wii. I don't think he has one yet.
>>335651520
I'll also look into that one!
>>335651753
get him a fucking pc and force him to play great pc games, dont make him a fucking consolefag
make that shitter play doom and wolfenstein 3d, all the great apogee games, etc.
>>335651913
He has a PC, but it seems like he usually plays console games. Also, I think he would probably prefer newer games. Isn't Doom super old?
>>335649995
Buy him an EvE online account and then buy him a new character. I'll have him join my corporation and we'll turn him into an FC who won't awox SC like the fucktards in Snuff.
>>335652187
> Also, I think he would probably prefer newer games
it doesnt matter what he wants, you tell him the proper games to play and beat him if he doesn't, we don't need more casual consolefags in the world
>Isn't Doom super old?
oh, you're just a troll, pretending to not know much about doom. closing thread now.
>>335652224
Haha, didn't follow all of that, but I'll see if that seems like one he would enjoy.
>>335652356
It's got spaceships and shit, who wouldn't love it. It's also pretty easy to learn nowadays. Used to have an awful learning curve.
>>335652439
Wow, that looks super complicated. I'm not sure if he would like that one as much. Looks cool, though!
>>335649995
He'll probably like it he's 12. All 12 year olds have shit taste. Get it for him.
I mean I know it's bait but still
Thanks for all of the input everyone! I'll do some research on the games you recommended and see which one looks best!
