Im not much of a gamer (ironically I make games for a living) but I made a bet with my kids that if the Detroit Lions make the playoffs this year I’ll buy them a system, and its looking like almost a lock to happen, so I want to get in on some Holiday deals.
This is their first non-Nintendo system so I’m a little lost on which way to go at this point in the generation cycle. For reference they’re 7 and 9 year old boys and are gonna be new to gaming that isnt based around crafting or Italian brothers. (i made them use my old NES, then SNES first, then got them a Switch a couple years back)
Like rating means anything anymore. FIFA/NBA is rated E and have become essentially slot machines amd a den of gambling. It’s hilarious how the ESRB just lets that shit slide.
A lot of those Teen ratings are mostly for language and depicting shit like alcohol. The ratings are so broad that they don’t really mean anything besides giving some parents a sense that they’re making the “right decision” for their kids.
