Hello ;)

I have a young teen who is begging me for GTA V as all his mates play. I initially looked into and said NO WAY.

However he tells me he only wants to play online not story mode. Apparently online you can play golf, tennis, bank heist etc without all the inappropriate content.

1)Can anybody advice me what the online content is like and is online only, suitable for a young teen?

2)Is it true that if he were to do the story mode his progress would be tracked so I can see he went on that?

Thank you very much

1) Online you can be owners of drug businesses, where you have to steal or buy the supplies in order to create product but it's not really graphic, you're just driving really... strip clubs are a thing I guess where u get to see the titties

2) you will be able to see how many missions he's completed so if you research the missions online I guess you'll be able to see what he's done.

LET HIM PLAY! I started playing it very young and I've turned out fine I guess...

At the end of the day it's your decision but if he's a young teen he probably knows about all this shit anyway and has probably seen more than just tits

Online play is still going to include almost all graphic content. He will be able to do all sorts of fun activities with friends like racing, heists, golfing, or gamble at the new Casino etc like you brought up, but they can also arm up and go on a mass killing spree(it's really not as bad as it seems, it's considered a very fun and sometimes very challenging event) and end it at the strip club with a lap dance. Online Play on GTA is still intended for a mature audience.

Story Mode does save automatically and you would be able to check if he plays and if he is making progress on it, so you don't have to worry about that.

Realistically, I don't think GTA Online is as bad as most would expect, it's intended for a mature audience and does have violence, sexual references, gambling, pretty much all the things anti video game people despise, BUT it's still more fun than a lot of games, and if it was really bad it wouldn't be insanely popular for so many years, it's literally one of the best selling ENTERTAINMENT, not just video games products in history.

When it came out in 2012, I was only 15 or 16 and was playing with friends that were younger or around the same age. I loved playing online with friends cause if you look past all the things that give it a bad wrap, it truly is a fun social game to play.

I hope I was able to help, and if you have any more concerns you can send me a private message, or just leave a reply here and I'll check up on your post every now and then
