I have a nephew who was just born and I'm going to help raise it. I want him to have good taste in video games when he grows up so eventually when I'm old we can play games together.
How does someone do this? what specific games should I introduce him to and at what age?
you're a fucking faggot
why do you say that?
Don't "introduce" him to anything, faggot.
Just play age appropriate games when he's around sometimes that's also flashy and low on text.
Just show him that games aren't serious and you can fuck around in them in any way you desire since that's all they'll be able to do at early ages.
My mom ran an at home daycare my whole life and I'd play games with kids 3 - 10 all the time.
I played Halo Reach co-op with one of them, I betrayed him once and then he stuck me with a nade, we spent an hour killing each other on the first level and he was laughing the whole time. Was fun.
don't let them watch TV (they might see a game with "good" graphics) and don't let them have any console beyond 6th gen
my niece and nephew love their SNES.
Nephew is also big into Minecraft and Terraria, pretty cool kid honestly.
Strictly abide by the ESRB age rating
cause you're a dick sucking faggot, faggot
ESRB is bullshit
if you think he's going to be exposed to them naturally just see what he likes, and buy him the best games from that genre.
>Few years back, baby sitting the cousin.
>he's 14
>He's from a poor family and has never touched a Ps3
>Absolutely DEMANDS to play it
>Plug in the SNES and and make him beat Megaman X in order to play the Ps3
>Over two weeks he eventually beats it
>Sit him down and have him play Demon's Souls. Tell him once he clears that title he can play whatever he wants
>A few months later I hear he is in trouble at school for "bullying" other kids about the games they play.
>Apprently he's been berating people for not playing hard games.
I made him into a bastard.
Just have him try different games. If YouTube is still around in there future keep him away from it. My little brother watches gaming videos on YouTube all the time and basically sticks to the games they play like COD or rocket league.
Is there any way to do the same to my nephew without him becoming an asshole?
>20's kid
>uncle comes over
>wants me to play this stupid game from 40 years ago
>leaves
>goes back to playing what my parents bought me
We show kids classic movies from a long time ago and they love it. Why would it be different for games?
Make him play the original mario bros trilogy. Those games are perfect for getting children into video games.

Teach him to not be an asshole
Congratulations! In a few years your cousin will be berating others online for playing different vidya! He might even post on this very board with us, in fact.
Its an abstract feeling. At least he wont be a filthy casul
You sound like an autismal faggot. Hope they forbid your nephew from hanging around with someone that thinks having good taste in videogames is something worth teaching to an infant instead of doing something with your life like go have kids on your own, weirdo.
Play Animal Crossing with him, I used to play with my little sis all the time and it was great.
Games do age.
>it
Stay classy, uncle.
Holy shit this, fucking cringe. I would tell him to fuck off and get some friends instead and leave me enjoy my non-ancient looking games so i can get taste on my own without some megavirging trying to force feed me.
Introduce him to games, but don't force him to play anything. I know a family that spends equal time showing their 8 year old daughter Final Fantasy V and King of Fighters games while still letting them play stuff like Angry Birds and microtransaction app games (with parental controls to prevent the kid from burning through a few thousand bucks of course)
He's unhappy himself
now that he is young, introduce him to dark souls. when he is about 10 let him play his first final fantasy. then at 13 when he has finally reached an age of understanding very complicated and deep stories, let him play kingdom hearts. after that, when he is at least 16, let him play shadow the hedgehog
so you're saying you shouldn't guide children at all? That's how you end up with cuck SJW kids instead of woken ones
Don't make him get into sports so he grows up to be a chad.
