Post pics, we need to see how physically mature she is to judge properly

>>7494521
Sit with her while she plays to "help" if it seems like she's finding it too intense suggest playing something else. If she seems okay with it then leave her to it

>>7494521
Be a good dad and let her play Chex Quest instead.

>>7494521
Doom's violence is trivial compared to even 6th gen, it's clearly unrealistic and the game isn't scary in the least. Even as a young kid I knew Doom was cartoonish.

If she's played anything even slightly violent from the modern era it's likely more violent than Doom.

my parents wouldn't let me but my friends from middle school eric and dylan did and they seemed a little edgy before i moved away. man i miss colorado.

Unironically hang yourself leftist pedophile.

By 11 she'll have already drunk liquor, had a dick in her mouth, and know how to search the catalog for a relevant thread to post in. If they want to play it, they'll find a way.

U probly played it at her age. B happy she dont wana play some phone shite instead

>>7494625
This. Having kids spammed with adds, forced waiting and constant microtransaction prompts vs playing an actual game of culture.

>>7494521
It's a game about zooming around 40mph fighting barely intelligible sprites in corridors on Mars, I think she'll take it for what it is. Every elementary-school kid with access to a PC in the 90s played it, statistically it's staggeringly safe to assume it's absolutely harmless.

What you should rather be concerned about is her phone and any webcams in the house, smash and burn them all ASAP! It's better to try to get her hooked on dorky retro games and stall the inevitable camwhore impulse as long as possible.

Good parents let their kids play Doom.

>>7494521
Did she have to ask strangers on the internet for advice on whether she should play it? Sounds like she's more mature than you. Must get that from her biological father.

>>7494521
I played this when I was like 7 years old (originally came out), pretty sure kids nowadays can play it safely

>>7494521
I was 8 or 9 when I first played the dooms. I am a fucked up loser with a fucked up life.

>>7494521
Most of it is pretty cartoony. The only gruesome stuff is in the hell levels

>>7495070
why was there all those tortured people in mars?

>>7494521
the first games I played were jill of the jungle, jazz jackrabbit, wolfenstein 3d and doom and I'm a regular citizen, not a psycho.
violent games making people violent is a fucking meme.

>>7494521
Let her play Sailor Moon or Fire Emblem.

>>7494521
Nah, give her Castlevania 64 and any RPG.

>>7494556
I came here to say this.

>>7494521
You should give her an actual good game to play

Literal grade schoolers used to play this in the 90s.

>>7495073
probably the former staff

>>7494521
at this point in time, I'd say it's fine, and >>7495070 shows the worst stuff, almost all of which is fairly late in the game

>>7494562
>and the game isn't scary in the least.
I dunno man, as a kid, being surrounded by enemies in the dark areas was fucking terrifying.
Visually, yeah, you aren't going to get freaked out too bad by much if anything, but saying the game "isn't scary in the least" is a step too far.

>>7494521
You have to stop mollycoddling her sooner or later. And the more you deny her fun the more rebellious a teen she'll be. 11 is more than old enough to handle Doom.

>>7494521
Your daughter is based. I'd say that >>7494546 is the right approach.

Encourage her to start listening to Megadeth and AIC while you're at it. She will have patrician taste in everything.

>>7494521
It's for you to decide, you're the parent. For a port, I would suggest Crispy Doom, just for simplicity's sake. It's really just the base game but with higher screen resolutions and a few graphics options, more importantly it lets you use the mouse turning without having to deal with the front and back mouse movement.

>>7494562
Doom's gore is pretty visceral still, with many monsters you see limbs rending, skin shedding, and guts spilling, then you have a lot of the gore decorations, as seen in here >>7495070

If it unsettles her, but she still wants to continue playing, remind her that it's all fake stuff, the monsters are hand drawn cartoons, clay models, and latex models, and the gore is hand drawn too. The only single piece of real gore in the entire game is one of the wall textures, which is made from a photo they took after Kevin Cloud tripped and scrubbed his knee on his way to work one day.

>>7495073
Not Mars, Phobos and Deimos, and I guess because the demons are evil and murders the people who worked there. It's the reason you're fighting them after all.

>>7494521
Let her play it

>>7495070
I get the human corpses, but what's with the butchered demon?

>>7494556
That's actually a good suggestion. I personally think it's ok by now to play doom as she most likely can/already seen worse on the net. Mb explaining to her how it was made would also help demistify the violence ?

>>7496997
You first see that "butchered demon" texture right before the Cyberdemon fight. It's to make the player go "oh god what's so powerful to hang these (former) boss monsters on the wall?"

>>7496997
That's a Baron Of Hell, two of them make up the end boss fight for the first episode, Knee Deep In The Dead (which was the shareware episode), that's the first time you encounter them and they're the biggest and strongest enemy so far.
In episode 2, The Shores Of Hell, you start seeing them occasionally, then in the last level of that episode, you start out in a room where there's four of those barons torn up and hung on the walls. That's a pretty big implication, that there's someone else, or something else, who just wrecked the biggest and baddest monster you've seen so far, and seemingly without much resistance.

Enter the Cyberdemon.

>>7494521
That's older then when I played it

>>7494521

If your daughter is real, no.

Doom is even less violent than Fortnite

Cyberdemon is my waifu

>>7494521
Damn, imagine having a daughter that based. I was playing Halo 3 at her age. Let her go for it, its pretty cartoonish violence.

>>7494521
My niece played Doom when she was 10
She's a tomboy now at 14

>>7498051
Can i court her

>>7494521
>11
your fine OP, she's seen worse. btw if she has unsupervised access to the internet and/or a phone then you fucked up already.

Nice to see at least one other anon with common sense
