Is RDR2 a game you would let a 7 year old boy play?

And look at you now!

a kh virgin
problem?

genuinely, what's the difference between letting a kid watch old cowboy movies and letting him play rdr2?
the only issue i see is that arthur is not a good person, but that somewhat fixes itself through the story

ask your wife's boyfriend whether he thinks his son should play it or not first.

No.

Man Anon Babble was right you guys are broken lol

while supervised by me

Yeah, but who is supervising you? You shouldn't be left unsupervised with a child

RDR2 is considerably more violent than old cowboy movies

I probably played Doom and Heretic at that age, so yeah why not?

no you don't understand, it's perfectly normal and healthy to let my 7 year old son play a murder simulator

americans are deranged
no wonder you all turn out so fucked up

growing up, i remember having friends whose parents didnt give a fuck and let them watch R-rated movies
there was always something off about those kids
being exposed to that kind of shit (extreme violence, sexual imagery, profanity, etc) at a young age really fucks up normal development

he shouldn't be doing either one at fucking 7 years
your child has his entire life to watch "old cowboy movies"
let him be a fucking child for a while instead of trying to force him into your adult hobbies

you're a cuckold and "your" son is going to turn out to be a pussy.

Just get a Cabela's game, you fucking faggot.

People are full of shit. Unles your just baiting this is one of the most earnnest threads ive seen in a long time.

Sure why now, and if your there to watch over him then no harm in showing him some red blood. And just the wonders of playing something like RDR2 as a kid must be magical i envy him.

Only thing that would make me say "no" is if this kid has bad tendencies. Like if he gets angry easy for not getting what he wants or if he has n adictve personality. And only you can be the judge of that.

I think a seven year old might find it frustrating, particularly the hunting. Certain animals really require some thought behind and preparation.

If you just want him killing boars and shit and not worrying about the pelt quality then sure, but he will run into NPCs.

He shouldn't let him get the Low Honor ending because that's depressing.

be me, 7 years old

have to be playing some cucked version of RDR2 because my autistic father has an hyperfixation

You're either a retard or some reddit faggot who wants to post this little experiment sometimes in the future saying "hurr look!! I made my 7 y/o kid play RDR2!!" fucking faggot you can be playing Minecraft split screen instead or some shit

I'd let him play castle crashers and BO2

I didnt know turdworld soccer moms posted on Anon Babble lol how do you feel spending your hours seething about burgers here while we never think about whatever shithole you live in at all outside of your impotent spergouts

seething

one of us is, that's for sure
maybe if you put some effort into raising your kids right then they wouldn't shoot up their schools so much
or is this one of those

i'm throwing my child onto the street the day they turn 18 so it's not my problem

sort of things?

while is supervised by me

he's not allowed to do certain things

the game is a hunting sim because I say so

yeah I think forcing my 7 y/o kid into playing a somewhat gory hunting game is a good idea

Absolute retard, the divorce arc will be legendary if it didn't happen already

You should let him do whatever he wants in the game because RDR2 is so sanitized that it's already a kids' game. No sex, no nudity, no racial slurs, no fun.

turd worlder doubles down on being retarded

You love to see it giving you subhumans internet access was a mistake but at least its funny to watch you try talking down to your superiors super pooper by 2025 ya?

No
Unironically something line Minecraft or Valheim
Or better yet just don’t let him play vidya

Im sorry the guy you were trying to scam today redeemed the cards ranjeesh maybe tomorrow if you were from anyplace worthwhile it would have come up already but we both know you live in a landfill so you have to seethe here

You sound like you haven't been around children lately. They would fucking abhor the game for how slow it is.

hack a 3DS and let him download whatever he wants, teach him the value of piracy early

Fuck no. What are you thinking?

Why is this game 150 GB? I wanted to play both RDR1 and RDR2 but I would have to delete some modded games.

Play Sunset Riders or Wild Guns with him. RDR2 is not only not really appropriate at all for a child to play but will also bore him to tears, and he'll have much more fun actually playing something with you than having you breathe down his neck while you tell him what to do in a Rockstar game.
For fuck's sake, OP.

The game is primarily a hunting game for him

if its just hunting, play call of the wild with him instead.

lots of voice acting, lots of AI routines, lots of high res textures

Why is this game 150 GB?

Same as GTA V, it's bloated with the online crap. Ironically, Rockstar offers RDO separately, but not the other way around.

no

I think it's more like said. It sucks because I would be down for a single player only version. Who plays the multiplayer anyway?

Why do you guys always default to calling people Indian? Is it because you're all tech nerds who lost your jobs to Indians?

It doesn't even go that deep. Anon Babble is a very monkey see, monkey do board. That guy is probably like 18 tops and desperate to fit in

Gen alpha and zoomers really turned this board into Anon Babbleeddit.

Who plays the multiplayer anyway?

Sad people who have even less going on in their lives than the average Anon Babbleirgin

They're proud of it too. Their posts read like they use a really unfunny magnetic poetry set instead of a keyboard.

Yeah just found out about the RP servers, they are as bad as you would expect them to be.

Called what, son? I'm a white American, I just find it weird that literally any time you guys see someone disagreeing with you, you call them Indian. I have literally never seen an Indian person irl so it just feels kinda bizarre to see other people who are supposedly American constantly sperging out over them.

let him be a fucking child for a while instead of trying to force him into your adult hobbies

Have you ever met a child? Games like Red Dead Redemption and even GTA are like the perfect kid videogames, they let them explore and interact and experiment how they want, "sandbox" is not a misnomer. Let them loose on those games and they'll have a ton of fun and develop their minds far better than most other things they could be doing, the only thing I'd guess would be more beneficial is actually hanging out and playing with other kids.
The adult themes are slightly unfortunate but don't really matter, as long as they're old enough (and have been raised well enough) to know the distinction between reality and fiction they're fine. Also every fucking kid is playing those games at their friends' houses as soon as they're out their parents' sights, anyway. At least that's how it was 20 or so years ago.

Seething about americans umprompted is a very common jeet and eurotard aka paki aka honorary jeet trait just like blacked posting is very commonly chinese I dont make the rules I just observe them also

american

white

:^)

Have you ever met a child? Games like Red Dead Redemption and even GTA are like the perfect kid videogames,

Hell no, they aren't. They're photorealistic and graphically violent games that mostly revolve around shooting things dead.
I really hate to sound like a wet blanket since I loved poking fun at Jack Thompson here when I was younger, but these just aren't games that are appropriate for kids that young to play. If you're gonna put a Rockstar game in front of a kid, make him play Bully.

Kids love graphic violence and murder.
You do remember being a kid, right?
My own parents went through various phases of overprotectiveness with that sort of thing (I don't blame them, they were trying to do what was best, it was all completely pointless though). I was never allowed to own a toy gun for example. Predictably all that happened was that me and my friends ran around holding sticks pretending to shoot or stab each other with them, or finger guns if even that failed. Similar things happened with various videogames and age ratings of movies and stuff like that, I found means of playing and watching all the ones I was interested in anyway, and frankly the games of imagination kids my age played without any media or props etc whatsoever were just as violent if not moreso.
I was the eldest incidentally, and by the time my youngest sibling was growing up they had realised how pointless all that overprotectiveness had really been.
Every single child I knew growing up played Grand Theft Auto (3, Vice City, San Andreas). They loved to run around, shoot people, steal cars, that sort of thing and just experiment in the open worlds, those games are genuinely ideal in a fundamental way that matches how children play and develop.
I'm am not in any way kidding or exagerrating when I say that I think providing those sorts of games and experiences to kids is a good thing. Incidentally, kids also liked Bully but not nearly as much as GTA. And there's nothing wrong with violence in media for kids, as I say they mostly love that stuff. Teach your kid right and wrong, and they'll be fine. Don't teach your kid and they'll be fucked whether they play "bad" games or not.

You do remember being a kid, right?

Of course I do. I was a kid less than twenty years ago.
I just can't say I agree at all, anon. They're fun games but certainly not something I would want to encourage my own children to spend very much time in, certainly not before they're even ten years old. I don't see this in any way as being overprotective.
There are much better ways for a child that young to experiment and play that don't involve simulating violent crime.

and frankly the games of imagination kids my age played without any media or props etc whatsoever were just as violent if not moreso.

Playing pretend is just as graphic as RDR2? U crazy fo dis one anon.

as long as they're old enough (and have been raised well enough) to know the distinction between reality and fiction they're fine

You don't know shit about parenting. Imprinting is real. For everyone, seeing the action will make us, at least a iota, try to repeat it. That's how we're wired. Monkey see, monkey do. It's even more real for kids.
You can have a healthy 11-12yo playing GTA, but you'll be stretching his limits for filtering the information, most likely he'll get addicted to video games for life, because how much pressure it puts on their young brains. A 7yo? Ffs, just buy him a Switch.

You’re a faggot let the kid play a fucking videogame Jesus Christ
If you were my dad I would hate you

You don't know shit about parenting

Nor do you Anon Babbleermin incel what is your point

Why don't you just teach him to not be a faggot?

Why don't you just emulate a ps2 or gamecube hunting game for him? It's free, and light enough that even a phone could handle it, and you don't have to worry about him accidentally blowing someone's head off or tying up hookers. As many anons have mentioned, I personally think that that's about the age when you would probably want to play something like rdr 2 as a kid, I was playing MK, Fallout and warcraft at the same age, but rdr2 is alot more graphic than any of those, so if you are actually concerned about it, I don't see why you'd take the risk

hey faggot play games you would have played as a 7yo like tendie shit or minecraft, your onions beard is not fooling anyone either dumbass

Playing pretend is just as graphic as RDR2? U crazy fo dis one anon.

Depends what you mean by graphic, obviously there were no literal images, but for little kids with imagination, yeah easily. We'd happily pretend to be fucking disemboweled or beheaded by a sword with attempted sound effects, or pretend to be monsters or zombies eating peoples' brains or flesh or whatever. I think one of us became enamored with The Mummy movie at some point, because for a while a common theme in our pretend games was hordes of scarabs or other bugs that would crawl inside your skin and eat you from the inside out if they caught you. Again, all good fun, kids adore over the top violence and even gore to a certain degree, although I wouldn't recommend actual horror or anything.
Violence is imprinted in the human mind even before birth. Children play roughhouse no matter what society or culture they come from, even fucking animals play fight and do pretend hunting etc, it's a fundamental part of what "play" is for children. 7 year olds are smarter than you think, and recalling my childhood, the most maldjusted kids were always the ones who were the most overprotected, they just ended up unsocialised. Playing GTA by age 7 was common, even if often kids had lied to their parents or played them at friends' houses etc. By the time you got to what we call high school (age 11-12, I'm English), if you had no experience with those games at all or other things of that nature you were a weirdo and would probably be ostracised (or were legitimately disabled or something).
If you're really opposed to GTA and they're young, put them on Minecraft, that's possibly even moreso the perfect kids' game. You should understand though that if they have friends or spend any time away from you they're going to be exposed to GTA and worse anyway though. The only way to avoid that is to leave them completely unsocialised, and unlike vidya that genuinely will affect them.

If you have to make all these rules about things he cannot do then the answer is an obvious "no" and I'm hoping that you're just taking the piss with this post.

Depends what you mean by graphic,

I mean what the word means in English.

graphic

1. relating to visual art, especially involving drawing, engraving, or lettering.

2. giving clear and vividly explicit details.

Our pretend childhood games were definition 2 but not 1. I don't think I was vague in my response, but I'm glad I could clear that up for you. Is English your second language by any chance?

I was playing GTA 3 when I was 7, unsupervised. I was a very sweet and quiet kid growing up. In the advanced classes too during school. I wasn't king of the school, but no one hated me either and somehow I got people to talk to me a lot even though I don't talk much myself. I guess people just like someone who listens. And it probably doesn't matter what your kid plays. Mostly depends on their genes and what you do/don't fuck up as a parent.

Your kid is going to end up smoking meth. You fucking idiot.

If he's raised right, he should be able to handle bb guns and air rifles, or at the minimum airsoft. Bolt action kids guns if everything is working right.

Is RDR2 a game you would let a 7 year old boy play?

No, it's too faggy for 7 y/o kid

Is English your second language by any chance?

No. Graphic is also a synonym for "vividly detailed," and I am obviously employing the word in the same context as it is used in the phrase "graphic violence."
You dipshit.

Just buy your kid a hunting game

Graphic violence also has the meaning of visually depicting violence. In one sense, you could say that a pretend game cannot by definition have graphic violence, or for example a book. It depends what definition you're using. Some people do use the phrase graphic violence in that way, usually because they think "graphic" violence in videogames or movies has some uniquely bad effect compared to violence in books, which would not be graphic by that definition no matter how vividly they are described. In fact, if you check the wikipedia page for "Graphic Violence" it even defines it as specifically being "in visual media such as film, television, and video games". Obviously that wasn't the definition I was using, hence the clarification.
Glad I could help again, no need to thank me, I'm heading off now.
