Is it just me or does the really have the worst parental controls?

What I expected:

  • only games suitable for the configured age are displayed in restricted mode.
  • Language can be configured per user.
  • Parental controls are applied per user.

Instead:

  • user accounts are not seperate. Language and parental controls are systemwide.
  • DOOM is displayed prominently on the home screen. That's a Revenant (i.e. has a human skull) backed by flames.

What? That's so wrong! You'd think with a gaming platform as old as Nintendo they would have things like this in better shape.
It's so wrong that a minor can get access to Doom, just because it's installed in the system.

Though I have no idea how Playstation is with this, as I never had a kids account on mine 🤔

@ShareYourGames to be fair, they wouldn't be able to play it (untested, but that would be a major oversight).
But I'm disappointed that it shows up. I'm used to wearing metal shirts and my kid recently started asking about what the monsters were doing and "why are they screaming". The screaming skull with rocket launchers on shoulder pads is pretty much the same. 😅
And yes, I've stopped wearing most of my shirts. I have a few funny T-Rex ones left, so I'm fine. 😅

Ah that's a plus... But yeah a filter for those games would be preferable!
Just a few more years and then the kid wants shirts like dad has 😉 haha!
Can't go wrong with T-Rex though!

@ShareYourGames the big one is already pretty into Dinos. 🤣 And me and my wife are definitely at fault.

Hahaha good job!! The first movie I saw on my own in the theater (with a friend instead of my mum) was Jurassic Park. I still love it! 😁

@ShareYourGames the kids are still a bit too young for Jurassic Park.
However, it is one of my favorite movies as well. They are gonna watch it eventually.
I sadly never got to enjoy it in the cinema. I think I was too young when it came out. 😔

I was 13, my mum did drop my fiend and I off and she picked us up. But the rest, it was just us and the movie and popcorn and it was awesome.
I re-watch the JP movies at least once a year. Even the later ones. Just because I can. 😊

@ShareYourGames I don't think I rewatch them every year, but I've rewatched the old trilogy countless times. 😁
And Jurassic World is actually a pretty good sequel. Fallen Kingdom less so, because it falls down hard at the end. I'd have to rewatch Dominion to figure out if I really like it or if I forced myself to like it. 😅 I was so happy to see the cast from the original, that I might have overlooked a bunch of flaws with the movie. I have a feeling that it's secretly not that good. 😅

Ow I still need to see the last one... For me it's usually the old trilogy that I have on Bluray that gets played again and again. 😊
Must check if I can see the last one on one of my streaming services 🤔
