Absolutely not. I let my kids watch when I just free roam and do things like poker, fish etc. But I would never let my 10 year old play this game.
Your friend shouldn't even have to ask, if I'm honest.
About the pics here. I bought a Slim bundle for this game and it looks nowhere near what the PS4 pic looks like there, my image is way way better. More towards the One X pic.
I love it. I don't think the maintenance of yourself and your things take that much time. I think it's great that you have to work for what you get.
The controls were a bit much to start with but I've got the hang of it pretty well now.
Some also complain that there's no fast travel (both ways at least) but I love riding through the landscape. So much is going on and I think you'd miss so much if you chose to fast travel. I will certainly not use it (very much) when it unlocks.
Potential SPOILER!
I didn't do a very good job of getting Micah out of jail in Strawberry so after shooting our way out of town, I ended up with a Dead or Alive wanted level.
My question is: how do I get rid of it?
