Should I allow my 11 year old nephew to play this?

I have a small dog at home and games have been known to desensitize your brain towards violence.

Actualy we have tens of thousands of cases of dogs attacking people, i think its deeply irresponsible that you are having a murdering beast like that in the same building as your nephew.

I think it would only be ethical to make them play palworld and teach them how to use a bow and a stick to defend themselves against these vile beasts.

[Hussar]

Beware games like this attract pedo grooming gangs.

i mean as long as you do your part as a parent and show him whats right and wrong there's no issue any game he plays. its not the games job to teach your kid what not to do in real life, tho if anything it will help him establish what is right or wrong, again if you show him.

Fun Fact: Studies have actually shown video games increase sympathy.

You belive the trash and lies they tell about games? If so then uninstall steam, go to the valve site and delete your account this very instant.

If not then RETHINK AGAIN. You seem to have played it, did you see how difficult it is and how violent? You WILL attack those monsters with a stick, you WILL shoot them and other's in this game. So nope, its NOT for an 11 year old, but who am i to tell that, with 8 i commanded a harvester to drive over infantry because german version Tiberium dawn had that cracking sound in it. With 9 i beat TR 2 and 4 etc. 11 i consider old enogh personaly, but thats only me, i was raised in a different age.

Gun safety and self defense classes at a young age is an important part about being an American. Please do your part and enroll your children in the US Army.

Helps you experience various feelings in a safer environment too, including stuff like sorrow, anger, fear and the like, which can help people learn to cope with these things more easily, along with just having some exposure in general, and being good for emotional health.

If you ask for parenting advice on the internet you shouldn't be allowed within 100 meters of a child. That being said, this game still isn't as unhealthy as half of the AAA titles and other media being consumed by Western youth, but the bar there is already set ever so low.

[Kyota]

Tell that kid's parents that their child shouldn't be left unsupervised with an uncle who has 200hrs on GTAV.

That's the first step to take here.

Forget about everything else.

He should not play it but the dog can

Let me put it this way, did you play Super Mario when you were younger? how many turtles did you jump on?
Him hurting your dog is less likely than the game upsetting him for one reason or another.
Better find something a little more age appropriate... maybe a game that doesn't let you capture humans to use as labor.

No they haven't. Not One peer reviewed research paper has EVER made that assessment. All credible reports show the opposite. Please learn to read.

I forget where I read it, but there was indeed a study that showed that children exposed to violent games at a young age would have more aggressive habits.

It was like... 4-5 year old children that were still developing the core of their moral compass that were the issue, though.

murder is a mature theme, so your kid should only play it if they can handle mature themes. i played mortal kombat when i was like, 8 years old and i havnt decapitated anyone yet.

if your kid is going to harm a living creature or commit some other crime, they have another problem that needs to be dealt with, a video game or movie has nothing to do with it. thats just an excuse parents use so they can absolve themselves of having to actually parent their children.

if you're concerned that your child is a psychopath that will kill your dog then you should probably have them in therapy and keep him away from the dog, the game has nothing to do with it, your kid is just a psychopath and its your job as a parent to talk to your child and get them the help they need.

if your kid shows no signs of wanting to harm animals or people then they are probably not a psychopath and this game isnt going to turn them into one.
